Newton's Big Day Out
read it on AO3 at https://archiveofourown.org/works/61586581 by CarriageOnMyWaywardSon (TalesofaCactus) Bark! Bark, bark! Whomsoever dares invade this territory shall face the consequences! The consequences are I, the one and only, the protector of this realm! BARK BARK BARK! “Hush, Newton,” Kate bids as she finally reaches the door. (She is always lagging behind him. No sense of urgency with these humans. Does she not care at all about the intruders?! It seems she does not, judging by what she does next.) She uses one foot to gently shift his body to the side so she can swing open the heavy door. (Foolish human, he thinks.) And somehow, though he couldn’t have guessed it was possible, things only get worse from there. Because the intruder is the one person he absolutely cannot abide having inside his house: Angry Man. OR Newton gets out and goes on a grand adventure on Christmas Eve.

Its Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas
read it on AO3 at https://archiveofourown.org/works/61617082 by Stars_of_Kyber Anthony Bridgerton always took Christmas very seriously. In the four years since he moved to his flat, his window was always the brightest one on the street. So when the neighbour across the street puts on a display of lights that are nicer than his, the only logical conclusion is to add more lights. Kate Sharma can’t believe she’s going Deck the Halls with the cute single dad across the street but, seriously, how dare he smirk at her from his window like that? It was clearly a challenge. And it's so on. Hyacinth Bridgerton initially was not really sure about the new bakery owner who kept upstaging hers and Anthony’s and Greg’s window lights, but she makes the best cinnamon buns in all of London and her dog is pretty amazing. She also makes Anthony smile like a fool. You can’t fault her for wanting to spend more time around her shop.

That featherlight feeling
read it on AO3 at https://archiveofourown.org/works/61612765 by Anonymous Kate tried to concentrate on her embroidery, her needle weaving intricate roses and vines into fine linen. She truly did, but her thoughts refused to settle on the task at hand. Instead, they drifted relentlessly toward the man who had thrown her life into disarray. Anthony Bridgerton. Anthony Bridgerton and his maddening wit. Anthony Bridgerton and his fleeting, stolen smiles. Anthony Bridgerton and- Well, the list was endless, and no amount of scolding herself for such frivolity could put him out of her mind. The problem remained. Anthony had kissed her. They had kissed. It had been fireworks, pure magic. And then, as suddenly as it began, it was over.

when you first took my hand on a cold Christmas Eve
read it on AO3 at https://archiveofourown.org/works/61604638 by Moomin_94 “I’ll just get the first bloody thing I can lay eyes on and get the hell out of here. And maybe a candy cane. Because that’s whimsical.” He reached out, his hand closing around one of the gloves. He’d already turned to leave, groaning at the line of people trying to make their purchases already 40 people deep, when he was stopped, something pulling the gloves back, out of his hand. “Can you let go of my gloves?” Anthony wheeled around, startled at the woman’s audacity and honestly, more than a little fed up with the entire city. “If they’re you’re gloves what are they doing festooned in this display?” He gestured like a maniac. The woman’s dark eyes fixed on his, an amused smirk curving her lips. “Festooned?” Anthony leaned back a little, trying not to notice how beautiful the woman was. He gave her a sarcastic sigh, “It’s a festive garland.” He gestured to the tinsel. “The festoon in question.” OR Anthony Bridgerton doesn’t believe in fate but maybe he needs to start OR Serendipity Words: 2742, Chapters: 1/2, Language: English Fandoms: Bridgerton (TV), Bridgerton Series - Julia Quinn Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Categories: F/M Characters: Anthony Bridgerton, Kate Sheffield | Kate Sharma Relationships: Anthony Bridgerton/Kate Sheffield | Kate Sharma Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Christmas spirit I guess, Inspired by Serendipity (Movie 2001), Anthony is a grouch read it on AO3 at https://archiveofourown.org/works/61604638

Like a chasm
read it on AO3 at https://archiveofourown.org/works/61568911 by Anonymous “Kate, please, I know you-” “Don’t.” Her voice cut through his like a blade. She turned fully toward him, her expression fierce, trembling with the weight of her emotions. “You speak of knowing me, of seeing me, but you don’t even know my name. My real name. You know nothing of my past, my fears, my dreams.” Her voice cracked, and she took a step back, her hands clenching at her sides. “You’ve seen only what you wanted to see. A challenge.

like a wildfire
read it on AO3 at https://archiveofourown.org/works/61567690 by orphan_account "You're so wet for me," he murmured, his voice low and thick with lust. "I knew you'd be like this. A fiery little thing, just begging to be tamed." Kate's eyes snapped open, a spark of defiance in their depths. "I am not a thing to be tamed," she spat, trying to pull her wrists free from his iron grip. But his only response was a low chuckle that sent shivers down her spine. "Oh, Miss Sharma," he whispered, his breath warm against her skin. "Your spirit is what makes this so much more interesting." He bent his head, his teeth grazing the sensitive skin of her neck as his hand worked its magic. She could feel the heat and strength pressing against her, the promise of his words making her stomach flip.

lights will guide you home
read it on AO3 at https://archiveofourown.org/works/61547416 by sparkle_koo Kate did not know what it said about her, that she could be found in the same compromising position twice in her life. The first time this had happened, six years ago, she had been a girl on the cusp of womanhood, too young to understand the intricacies of reputation, but old enough to know the taste of humiliation. It had been a scandal narrowly avoided only by the apathy of those who might have cared. Her father was already gone, leaving her family adrift. Her mother, hollowed out by grief, had neither the strength nor the will to intervene. No one had called for a duel then. No one had called for anything. Kate had patched up her pride as best she could and carried on, for there was nothing else to do. But this time, things were different.

Anthony leaned back just enough to look at her, his eyes brimming with love. “I hope my letters helped.” “They did,” she said, laughing softly as tears slipped down her cheeks. “But nothing compares to having you here.” He kissed her then, slow and sweet, as if to make up for every moment they’d been apart.

unmistakable
read it on AO3 at https://archiveofourown.org/works/61537918 by Anonymous Kate's mind raced with the reality of what was happening. She was with her sister's fiancé, letting him take her in a way she never should. But she couldn't find the strength to stop him. His touch was like a brand, searing her with his possession.

It was as if he was trying to imprint himself on her very soul, to claim her as his own in a way that could never be denied.
