Summary
The double doors open with a thwack as she pads into the kitchen, humming a song in French off-key. And there, standing at the kitchen island in seersucker swim trunks and a white tee, is… a man. A stranger. Belly feels sort of like a fucking idiot, because she sees this stranger and it’s like a chorus of angels starts playing in her head. Or, like, at least a Taylor Swift song.
(Newly home from Paris, Belly decides to take a job babysitting a rich family's mansion on Cape Cod for the winter. She expects nine months of studying for the GRE, watering plants, and watching old movies. She does not expect their
very hottwenty-four-year-old son to start showing up).- Language:

Summary
Belly has a theory: Conrad moans because he's spent so much of his life keeping everything locked down tight. All his emotions, all his pain, all his fear. He's gotten so good at control that when he finally lets go, when he's with her, when he's inside her, when he's arguing with her, when he's overwhelmed by sensation he can't think his way out of, everything comes spilling out at once.
(inspired by the guest bedroom scene without music)

Summary
Conrad's texts arrive at odd hours, slipping into her phone while she sleeps. Belly's voice notes play in his sterile kitchen as he makes coffee, her laughter bouncing off surfaces too clean, too empty.
If there are infinite worlds, every version of me chooses you, Belly told him on that speeding train to Brussels, still catching her breath.
In the spaces between, they create them.(between Paris and Palo Alto, Belly and Conrad begin a game where they get to choose each other again and again)

Summary
“Swing shift is ruining my life. Conrad’s working one PM to one AM until November and I haven’t gotten laid in two weeks,” Belly moans.
“Jesus,” Taylor hisses, voice tinny.
Belly sets her head down on the counter. “I’m so horny I can’t see straight. I get why fifties housewives were always getting sent to mental institutions.”
“They should invent a way for you to have sex in your sleep.”
“Yeah,” Belly says, and lifts her head up just a bit, “yeah…”-
Conrad and Belly get creative with their schedules.

She considers calling Taylor. She considers throwing her phone out the window. She considers tracking down her laptop and doing a deep-dive into the operation of the Hinge algorithm, so she can decide whether this chance-meeting-by-app was a matter of fate, circumstance, or mathematics.
(Three years after almost marrying his brother, Belly stumbles across Conrad Fisher's profile on a dating app. She's being, like, totally normal about it).

Summary
Anthony Bridgerton does *not* want to marry Kate Sharma. And Kate Sharma definitely doesn’t have time to date Anthony Bridgerton. But a friends-with-benefits contract? That’s rational; in fact, it’s really just good sense.
Things escalate quickly.
Or:
A modern, deconstructed Bridgerton (mostly) rom-dram. Kate, Anthony, their issues, and their families romp through a season in London.
COMPLETE (but go follow Col and Pen’s story in Last Page)

Summary
This is a place to store my canon-compliant S3 regency writing. Each chapter should be viewed as it's own one-shot/short story.
Chapter 1: Kate and Anthony discuss the symbolic significance of betrothal rings. They do not quite see eye-to-eye.
Chapter 2: A drabble picking up after the bow and arrow scene in S3, Ep. 1.
Chapters 3 & 4: Kate and Anthony agree to keep news of her pregnancy quiet for just a few days. It goes about as well as you would expect. OR Four times Anthony fails to be discrete. And one time Kate does.
Chapter 5: Anthony drank a whole bottle of brandy the night before his second wedding, you say? Let's read more about that....

Summary
It starts in Italy.
It’s early September and the holiday had initially been proposed to be a sort of retreat, painting together, going to the museums of Florence to learn and gather inspiration. They do paint occasionally, but mainly they lounge around the villa’s little pool, drinking red wine and spritz, planning their days around where they should go for dinner.
It’s wonderful, and Kate can feel the tension of the last months, the job search, the decisions she had to make, easing off her. So when Benedict tells the group that his brother is going to drop by for a bit, she barely takes notice of it.
(Kate and Anthony have a holiday fling before she moves to Berlin. It's not the last she sees of him.)

There are husbands, and then there are Husbands.
Anthony Bridgerton is a Husband.
At least that’s what Kate insists when she stumbles home from Lady Danbury’s latest soirée, slurring her words and smelling of sherry.
Apparently it’s a compliment.

It’s been two years and three months and the sight of Marianne across a crowded room is still enough to stop him in his tracks.
As an act of lockdown self-care I wrote a hopeful coda to Normal People. It is set two years after Connell leaves for New York.

Summary
Post NFA fix-it. Major B/A, major C&A, minor C/A. Angel/BtVS ensemble. After the dragon, Angel wakes up in a world he doesn't remember ever living in. He has everything he ever wanted. All for a price he never would have paid. Eden for an apple. A catch-22. But is this a faustian tale, or a question of faith? Unfortunately, it's difficult for Angel to tell. [COMPLETE]
