Summary
He lowered his voice. “You are the most capable and intelligent person I have yet to meet. You make all of us look like fools.”
Her mouth opened in surprise before she quickly hid her feelings again. “Even you, my lord?”
She was smiling, clearly expecting an argument, but Anthony did not want her to think he took this lightly. He needed to correct her thinking. She needed to know that his initial promises were changing. Even if she did not reciprocate, he valued their honest rapport.
“You have made me the biggest fool, I think. For I thought I could pursue this courtship without any affection or strong feelings. Yet, it is impossible for me to feel nothing when I am with you.”
************
Anthony decides that Kate is the only woman fit to be Viscountess Bridgerton and catches feelings along the way. Fortunately, so does Kate.

Summary
Anthony freezes in his tracks. In front of him is a rather beautiful woman. She must be a new neighbour because he’s certain he would have noticed her if they’d ever crossed paths before in his five years of living in the building. She looks a bit embarrassed and suddenly Anthony realises that he’s half-naked.
He grimaces. “I’m sorry, I was expecting someone else,” he says, gesturing at his state of undress awkwardly.
“Of course,” she says. “Don’t let me keep you. Package for Kathani Sharma?”
(Anthony and Kate live in the same building. Kate gets a lot of parcels. Anthony accepts them for her. A silly little Christmas oneshot.)

Summary
Mid-s2e1 AU: Not only does the young lady Anthony raced in the park wholly misunderstand both his words and his character, she refuses to listen to his (perfectly rational) explanation, or even allow him the opportunity to offer a defence.
And that simply will not do. Which is why he must follow her inside the ballroom. And then ask her to dance. And then continue to seek her out as the days and weeks of the season progress.
***
“Will I have the opportunity to address the charges against my character?” He takes her hand and she turns elegantly under his raised arm. “Or do you intend to leave tonight’s gathering certain of your own rightness?”
The roll of her eyes is rather subtle, he will give her that. “Just because we are dancing does not mean we need to converse, my lord.”
