BRIDGERTON SEASON 3 (2024)

FRANCESCA AND MICHAELA

3.08

[sea-owl]

Had a funny thought. You know, in Asian dramas, how sometimes important people just hide out in the family company as a low level, probably minium wage worker for one reason or another? Imagine Violet doing that, but the reason she's doing low-level work is that she can freely spouse hunt for her kids.

Violet technically never has to work a day in her life again if she so wished to. But Violet also has a mission to find the perfect spouse for each of her kids, and in her mind, she's gonna get better insight of potential partners as the janitor to Bridgerton Industries than as Lady Bridgerton. She'll get to learn intresting things that anyone would normally hide around her.

And meet some interesting people Violet did indeed! Like Simon, the young man who runs Hastings Inc., Bridgerton Industries' biggest partner company. He always greeted Violet with a warm smile. Or that nice vet, Dr. Kate Sharma! She was brought in alongside a trainer when the company started using therapy dogs. Her sweet boy Newton always happily ran up to Violet.

There's also the two lovley girls that regularly go to tea with Violet. Sophie, who works down in the company's childcare facility. Oh she's so good with the children. There's also Penelope, who works for Danbury Publishing but sometimes gets loaned out to Bridgerton Industries to help edit things like newsletters and important emails.

Oh, there's also that smart boy Phillip! It's adorable how he'll go on about plants, he even brings flowers he grew himself! He's the brains in his family's company while his brother runs the office politics. If Violet remembers correctly their company and Bridgerton Industries are teaming up to make Bridgerton Industries more environmentally healthy.

Then there are those two, some would say, devilish twins Michael and Michaela. Violet often sees them when their cousin comes to talk business with Anthony. Michael, that charmer always had a few words to make Violet blush. Though Michaela really isn't any better. Violet is and yet isn't surprised they're the heads of PR over in their family's company.

The last two Violet really likes are these two interns. Gareth, well, Violet isn't sure where he's interning. She knows it's either at Danbury Publishing or Hastings Inc., maybe both? She knows she sees him often enough with Lady Danbury and Simon, and knows he's in school to study archeology. Lucy is Kate's little intern who works more as an assistant while she's in school to studying for her degree. They'll happily chat with Violet if they see her around on one of their visits.

Violet just knows they're the ones for her children. Now, how to get them to see?

Grammy-wining rock band The Ledgertons was formed in 2012, consisting of brothers Anthony (lead guitar), Benedict (percussion), and Colin Bridgerton (lead vocals and bass) before being later joined by their sister Francesca (keyboards) in 2018.

Snippets from interviews, Spotify, Wikipedia, Tumblr, Twitter (Elon Musk who? No, he was never born in this world) and everywhere else fans and stans of The Ledgertons (or Ledgerheads as they're affectionately called) can be found as they matchmake their way through the internet such as when Anthony goes on the highly popular YouTube show Curry Shop Date with Kate Sharma (making it the most popular episode to date), when Benedict accidentally reveals his crush on his favorite graphic artist Sophie Baek, Colin's years-long will-they-won't-they saga with Penelope Featherington, best friend and head writer of Arlington (Flixer's biggest period drama TV series), and finally, Francesca's not-so-subtle chemistry in a collaboration with popstar icon Michaela Stirling.

I made a poll last week and the rock band social media au won!!! this is the first chapter, mostly an introduction to the band and their music. a lot of my inspiration was arctic monkeys, the clash, the smiths, fleetwood mac, wallows, the regrettes, some pearl jam, the ramones (theres more but i forgot) and of course the whole fandom and stan culture so i really wanted to write from both the fan and the bands perspective so here it is!!! please leave constructive criticism and dont be afraid to comment like a fan and its stan twitter <3 <3 i hope yall enjoy

hello have not been on here in literal years and reactivated simply to post my modern bridgerton hcs that came to me as i was falling asleep would not let me go until i wrote them down! enjoy!

~~~~~~~~~

the entire family is still very much british upper class - they regularly interact with the royals and attend all the family event like wimbledon and ascot. they are regularly featured in the pages of the tabloids much to their annoyance. they also went to either oxford, cambridge, or st. andrew’s (franny)

- anthony - still who he is, took over edmund’s position in the family business. huge company either a law firm, business like real estate or holdings. he’s ceo and damn good at his job. still viscount but it is really in name only.

- kate - still very much who she is, i can see her either going very much a lawyer or the artist route but i like to think of her as leaving her art as a hobby that she does simply for the pleasure of it.

- benedict - artist can do either painting or photography but has become very famous for it, initially it was because of the family name but then people started seeing his talent for what it is. his photos have been featured a bunch of times in british vogue and he is one of their go to photographers.

- sophie - very much a primary school teacher because of her experience with araminta as a child she was determined to not let that happen for other children so she makes damn sure that while they are at school in her class they know some one is looking out for them.

- colin - travel writer. he works for some magazine and has his own column. the magazine is owned by like some big media company that has their own building.

- penelope - pen works for a different magazine that is owned by the same parent company as colin’s so they work in the same building when colin is not on assignment. she secretly still runs lady whistledown that is like deux moi and once she gets outed she starts her own mini media empire. still besties with eloise.

- daphne - she is very much the perfect socialite philanthropist that is so perfect she seems like she would be a bitch but truly is that nice. is still married to simon after they fake dated due to some media scandal. lives her absolute best WAG life and has the season down to a science.

- simon - is a huge sports star, think david beckham. technically was still the duke but officially gave up the title to piss off his father. this man was born to be girl dad.

- eloise - once she realized just how much privilege she has, she put her money where her mouth is and is constantly going to protests much to anthony’s annoyance (not because he doesn’t agree with the cause just because she is giving the family a bad name in the press, he actually super proud of her.) el went to school for a degree in women and gender studies and is super involved in academia when not getting arrested.

- phillip/a - a botany professor at the university where el is based out of. still has the kids from their previous relationship with marina but they were able to get a divorce because it is the 21st century and co parent the twins quite well. their gender honestly doesn’t matter for this, they love plants and eloise - the order of that is not important.

- francesca - autistic, it is important to me that you know that. she is a film composer, she loves getting to create the score for movies and that it doesn’t require that much human interaction.

- john - still unfortunately passes away, but prior to that was some kind of finance guy. was generally the nicest guy and loved fran with his entire heart.

- michael/michaela - hot. like the most beautiful human being you have ever laid eyes on. they work as an actor because it’s fun but secretly are insanely smart and like build computers for fun.

- gregory - anthony’s mini me and he wouldn’t have it any other way. he works for the family company and loves it. generally small bean like but is insanely tall, like taller than benedict much to everyone’s annoyance but no one more than hyacinth. he worships the ground lucy walks on but they only have three or four kids because they have access to birth control.

- lucy - a mini kate. also a lawyer who’s family firm got bought by kate’s and then started working under her where she eventually met greg when he was visiting his favorite sister kate for their monthly lunch date. has ocd.

- hyacinth - a child prodigy, started university at like 15 (which she never lets greg forget) works as a ta (or whatever the uk equivalent is) for agatha who is an old family friend through whom she meets gareth. her field is like archeology or some other super niche thing. (agatha does not have to teach, she does it because if she doesn’t how else will the new generation ever be taught the right way to do things)

- gareth - is so fucking chill but absolutely matches hyacinths freak. no one is quite sure what he does, he has explained it many times but no one truly knows even hyacinth.

- violet - was besties with princess diana (old money england) she unfortunately passes around the same time as edmund and she just loses it. luckily it is the modern days was able to get help but it took a little while. though once she is back on her feet she is a force to be reckoned with. she runs the family foundation which focuses on mental health and allergy awareness.

thank you for reading this! i will take no criticism at this time but welcome any addition thoughts!

I hyperfocused a bit too hard, time to start posting a smau I first came up with *checks notes* less than 24 hours ago. Everything in this series will be tagged #obligated smau and all the parts are linked at the bottom of this post. If you prefer smau’s on Twitter the thread is here.

Obligated {franchela centric smau} part 1/60

Francesca was born into the royal family, she knows what all of the rules are. She just didn’t think they all applied quite the same to the fifth child in the line up.

Let’s meet the family! This is their website!

A franchela centric modern royals smau… who do I make the monarch [note: the monarch has to impose some rules and order on the family that do not always go down well]

[summerpearlpen]

I needed this gif. It was so quick in the show. Amazing!

I was eager to see their meet cute because it was so intense the way Michael described it in the book. I was so distracted and delighted when Michaela was a woman I missed Michaela's reaction (also the camera should have lingered longer). OP is so right. Michaela initially thought Eloise was John's wife, Eloise is even the one standing next to John 😯 Michaela is internally screaming (loml, most beautiful, cutie pie, but very off limits because Frannie is John' wife and John is Michaela's best friend/cousin/closest family). Ahhhh! Delicious slow-burn yearning commence (but make it gay).

I was surprised that Frannie demonstrated an attraction to Michaela in S3 as that is not what happened in the book. But they changed lots of things from the book to the show, such as in the book Colin was aware that Penelope was in love with him for +10 years, but in S3 he is very stressed that she would reject him. So I'm excited by this change from a storytelling perspective.

I'm just... obsessed with this 5-second meet cute we have of Francesca and Michaela. A lot have been said about Frannie's adorable tongue-tied, flustered face, as well it should. But I'm gonna need to draw your attention to Michaela's beautiful little reaction over here:

You see that??? Her. Face. Dropped. This woman 100% thought Eloise was John's wife and was ready to put her flirt on the sister before Frannie clarified her identity. You can practically hear her scream 'Oh no, she's gorgeous. I'm in deep shit.' internally from this face. This is the expression of someone who's already head over heels, lovestruck, down bad. Michaela Stirling's kicking into gear her Subaru on Hopeless Devotion Highway right here. The quiet pining is already starting. It's going to hurt deliciously. I am seated.

Obligated, franchaela smau, pt 60/60

Part 1

I wanted to deliver an updated website of the family, just to show where everyone is now and how far they’ve come. Kanthony are the only ones whose bio’s haven’t changed at all! Everyone else has had a major life change in the two years of time this story covered.

I'm feeling so many feelings I can't believe this silly little SMAU I came up with nearly five months ago and posted on a whim as a WIP (something I pretty much never do these days) has found and built such a beautiful community. I love these characters so much; I love all of you who have read, reblogged, replied and sent me asks so so much.

I have a list of certain scenes from this fic that I'd like to expand on and write as fleshed out one shots, much like the wedding. Let me know if there's any particular moments you'd like to see!

Continue to send me anything about this fic, I love chatting about it with you. I have ideas and headcanons, if you have any I'd love to hear them!

There is another surprise for this fic coming very soon, hopefully Wednesday if not before.

Stay sapphic. Truly, thank you all so so much from the bottom of my heart for loving these characters as much as I do.

Franchaela: Always 💚 & Forever 🩷

"two different loves... I would not value one higher than the other; it’s not the sort of thing one can measure. But it’s different.”—Violet in Bloom: Novella by Julia Quinn

FRANCESCA & VIOLET BRIDGERTON

“I couldn’t imagine it, either,” Violet cut in. “Yet it happened. I thought I should die of the pain.” Daphne swallowed. “But I didn’t. And you wouldn’t. And the truth is, eventually it does become easier. And you think that perhaps you could find happiness with someone else.” “Francesca did,” Daphne murmured. “Yes, she did.” Violet closed her eyes for a moment, recalling how terribly worried she’d been for her third daughter during those years of her widowhood. She’d been so terribly alone, not shunning her family precisely, but not truly reaching out to them, either. And unlike Violet, she’d had no children to help her find her strength again. “She is proof that one can be happy twice,” Violet said, “with two different loves. But, you know, she’s not the same kind of happy with Michael as she was with John. I would not value one higher than the other; it’s not the sort of thing one can measure. But it’s different.” —Violet in Bloom: Novella

Every BTS clip I see of Hannah Dodd she acts like one of the most adorable people I’ve ever seen. Total cutie pie. Rooting for her and her season.
