#Mr Sharma

[sea-owl]

You know sometimes I think what would have happened if Kate, Sophie, Penelope had proper paternal figures around and I always come to the conclusion that Anthony, Benedict, and Colin wouldn't be able to get away with half the shit they do in their books if they did.

Kate and Penelope come from homes full of women, and their fathers are at least a few years passed by the time they meet their respective Bridgerton in the books. Poor Sophie also technically comes from a home full of women too but we don't count them except for Posey.

Like just imagine an au of Mr. Sharma, the Earl of Penwood, and Lord Featherington being alive and being good dads with these cads running around their daughters.

Mr. Sharma comes to town with his wife and daughters for a London season. The family can't really afford more than one season so they got to make this count. Then here comes the Capital R Rake, who claims to want to court one daughter but keeps making bedroom eyes at the other. When they go to Aubrey Hall Mr. Sharma pulls Anthony aside and questions which of his daughters did Anthony want to court exactly? He then tells Anthony he expects an answer and an official asking of courtship from him by the end of the trip. Anthony then has to hide from Mr. Sharma as he plans the details of his sudden engagement to Kate, and he may over gift on his end. He knows there's no way of hiding his mark on Kate's chest, and Mary for sure told her husband.

Mr. Sharma makes sure to spread the word back in London to be weary of the Bridgerton cads. While yes, socially and financially, they be a good match, their scandalous behavior will corrupt your daughters.

The Earl sees this first hand when Benedict is circling Sophie like a dog in heat. No, sir, you will not corrupt my daughter! Sophie now has the protection needed to force Benedict to put in the work for an actual courtship. None of that be my mistress here good sir! Serious suitors only!

Lord Featherington didn't believe these rumors of the Bridgerton cads at first, yes they were rakes but most gentlemen their ages had explored by that point before settling down with their wives, if they even stopped after that. But such behavior towards a gentleman's daughter? Unthinkable. His own beloved youngest daughters have been friends with the Bridgertons for years, and they've always been proper. Well, Lord Featherington had forgotten that while yes, Penelope has been friends with the Bridgertons for years. One certain Bridgerton had been away at school for most of that time, and she only really knew him in passing. In comes when Penelope is first debuted and Colin Bridgerton is home from his Grand Tour to finish out his schooling. Oh no, why is Bridgerton C looking at his daughter like he looks at a biscuit? Lord Featherington holds his breath, wondering if this year every year is when that cad Colin Bridgerton tries to corrupt his precious daughter.

A Tale of Mangoes

Day 5 Kate Week: Sisters

"Katie, please climb down. It's okay. I don't want any more mangoes." Six-year-old Edwina's anxious shouts came from the ground to Kate, half a dozen mangoes already lying on a pile near her.

Kate stood on the branch of a massive mango tree situated to the far west of their family plot. She must have been almost 10 feet off the ground and she, being the older sister by a whole four years, was not deterred by little Edwina's shouts. She ignored them and continued climbing.

She had promised Edwina that she will give her the juiciest mango that she has ever eaten in her life, and Kate did not go back on her promises.

She had her eyes on a bunch of ripe mangoes dangling from one of the higher up branches. The mangoes swung low enough that if she moved three or four steps towards the right after climbing the next branch, her hands could reach them.

Climbing mango trees and guava trees was child's play for her by now. There was no tree in the world that she couldn't climb she thought a little cockily.

She held onto the main branch, her left foot solid on a lower branch and raised her right foot onto the smaller limb branching towards the right. She gripped a projection on the side for leverage and somehow managed to set her right foot on the targeted branch.

She let out a sigh of relief.

That was harder than she imagined. But it didn't matter, she liked new challenges.

She looked down at Edwina, staring worriedly, "Edwina get ready with the cloth. I'm going to pluck them and throw them onto the cloth one by one. You have to hold the cloth tightly to make sure that the mangoes don't touch the ground."

"Katie, please, I'm scared. Those mangoes are too far away. You don't have to get those. We already have so many."

"You don't have to be scared. It's just a couple of steps away. And look-" she held an arm out, "-these long hands will be able to grab those mangoes in no time. Besides, these ones are riper and sweeter than the ones down there." Even though Kate spoke confidently, she did take a peek at the mangoes in question just to be sure.

"Okay. If you're sure." Edwina still sounded distraught. "But be careful, Katie."

"Of course, I will be careful, kutti!" She smiled reassured at Edwina not certain if she could see her smile.

Kate took a deep breath and began to move. She first moved her right leg to the right, sliding a little and then dragged her left leg. 

Okay not so bad.

But if she had to move anymore, she will have to remove her left hand off the branch too.

She took a deep breath again and removed her left hand.

She wobbled a bit before balancing herself.

She precariously copied the first moves again -right leg first and then the left, right leg and then left, right then left.

Finally, after what seemed like running a marathon, but what was essentially four steps, she could reach the mangoes.

She smiled and plucked one.

"Edwina, come and stand below me, but a little to my front so that I can see you. I'm going to throw one."

Edwina stood, holding a cloth spread as wide as her little hands allowed, "Ready."

Kate threw it and it hit the cloth and bounced onto the ground.

"Oops!" Edwina giggled.

Kate laughed, "That's okay. It happens."

Kate plucked the second one and did the same.

Soon she managed to pluck all the mangoes in the bunch but one. 

It would be possible to pluck that one only if she took one more step, but the branch was thinning out and Kate did not know if it was worth taking the risk.

She thought for a moment and then decided to move ahead. Afterall what how bad could it be if she took just one more step.

She raised her right leg and set it on the branch.

Whew!

Nothing happened.

With the confidence, she was about to lift her left leg when the branch gave out and she slipped.

She cried out in alarm and fell onto the ground on her elbows, a lower offshoot breaking her fall.  

Edwina was shouting loud for help, fat tears streaming down her face.

Kate tried to get up and stopped as she felt a pain coursing through her right elbow.

Edwina saw her attempt to get up and rushed to her side, in alarm, "Katie, are you alright?" 

"I'm fine. Fine."

Edwina's sobs turned to anger, "Don't lie, Katie. I saw your face. Where are you hurting?"

Before she could respond, her Appa and Mama came running, their faces etched with worry.

"What happened?" Milind Sharma asked looking at Kate.

They both looked at him, "Nothing happened, Appa!" Kate replied while Edwina loudly proclaimed, "Katie fell from the tree."

Kate shook her head knowing what was coming.

Her Appa loved her, and she knew there were few fathers like him who allowed their daughters to ride horses, learn shooting, climb trees and live their lives as they pleased.

But one hard and fast rule that Millind Sharma had was that they should not be careless.

"Katie, sometimes people act without thinking and they put themselves and others at risk. Never be careless! Always think about the consequences of your actions. Sometimes your careless action can hurt you and the ones who love you."

But she was surprised when he dropped next to Kate and inspected her hand. 

Kate let out a yelp as he squeezed her joint and he looked at her.

"So, want to tell me what really happened?"

Kate's eyes started to tear up and she told him everything that happened.

Millind wiped away her tears and Mary came and consoled her as she finished her recount.

"Aww my poor baby. It's okay, Katie." Mary cooed in her ears.

Kate started full on sobbing hearing that, and she leaned forward into her Appa's arms feeling like a small child once again.

Edwina alarmed at Kate's crying walked to her Appa and tugged at his shirt, "Appa it's not Katie's fault. It's my fault. I asked her to pluck mangoes for me. That's why she climbed the tree."

Kate looked at Edwina in wonder, "You don't have to save me, kutti. You did warn me to stop. I didn't listen to you. It's my fault. I'm sorry."

"What's this my fault-your fault business here? No one is at fault." Mary spoke in a faux-serious turn.

"Mama is right. We have two beautiful daughters, and I love you both. I won't allow you to insult them, do you hear me?"

"Yes, Appa. We love you too." Kate and Edwina spoke, smiling sweetly.

"No love to Mama?" Mary asked trying to sound dejected when all she could feel was elation.

"We love you too, Mama!" They chanted in unison, giggling.

"I love you two, my sweet little troublemakers."

"Come on now, let's go inside." Millind gently picked Kate in his arms and Edwina seeing the opportunity asked her Mama to pick her up.

They walked away from the tree, talking and laughing, their hearts full and the mangoes laid there on the ground forgotten.

REGENCY LADIES + pink

[thekatebridgerton]

More ideas I'm too sleep deprived to write. This one courtesy of While you were sleeping and Mrs Winterbourne. (Yes I like to watch old movies, suck it gen alpha)

Two women in a boat, one sad shipwreck. Kate Sharma is on her way to England to take up a governess post after living her whole life in India (hoping to find her half sister Edwina, who was taken in by the Sheffields when Mary died). There she meets Benedict and Sophie, two newlyweds sympathetic to her family plight since they eloped behind Benedict's family back because Benedict feared they wouldn't accept him marrying the runaway bastard of an Earl. They just had their honeymoon in India and are traveling to reconcile with Benedict's family.

Sophie and Kate bond over being orphan girls forced to make their own way in the world and in a moment of admiring her wedding ring Sophie lets Kate try it on ( maybe one day you could get married too Kate, just imagine it) just as a terrible storm breaks out in the sea.

The Ship capsizes and the whereabouts of survivors become unknown. Next thing Kate knows she's waking up in a luxurious mansion, surrounded by kind and sympathetic people and a angelic woman who keeps referring to her as ' my new daughter'. Servants keep calling her ' Mrs Bridgerton ' and Kate knows something is wrong, what is this about a Shipwreck? Where is she? What happened to her? And most of all why do people keep staring at Sophie's ring?

Wait... Sophie's RING!!! where is Sophie!!!

Turns out that Kate washed away very close to the coast and the Bridgertons mistaked her for Benedict's new wife, who they had never seen because she was wearing the Bridgerton family ring. Oh what a mess, of course Benedict's pompous Viscount brother is suspicious, anybody would be!! But they're all so kind, and there's a possibility Benedict and Sophie might turn up any day right? Is it wrong for Kate to accept the Bridgerton hospitality until they're found, just while she looks for her long lost sister? Surely Benedict and Sophie can help her clear up the misunderstanding

Meanwhile Anthony is mighty wary of the woman who claims to be Sophie Bridgerton. For one, he knows Benedict, no way his softhearted brother would ever marry such a stubborn harridan, who shoots, rides and challenges his patience like the worst nightmare he's ever had. If anything Benedict's reconciliation letters painted Sophie as a forgiving considerate jewel without an unfriendly bone in her person. Nothing like the iron willed hag he finds himself arguing with anytime they cross paths. She's hiding something and he's going to figure out what. (But she also makes him laugh)

Kate eventually warms up to Anthony, against her better judgement, because he's really not that bad when he's not being overbearing, but the more she gets to know him, the more guilty she feels, she thinks she's falling in love with the pompous idiot but he thinks she's his sister in law, or worse, his WINDOWED sister in law. Please Benedict, wherever you washed up in that shipwreck, get back home with Sophie soon! Else Kate and Anthony are going to end up in a scandal.

I’m obsessed with Kate and Anthony just having their arms interlinked while playing charades

Because there is literally no need for it, they’re already sitting right beside each other, shoulder to shoulder, and they’re playing charades, which is not something that requires them to move in coordination??? And, you can see the empty space on the couch beside Kate, so there’s plenty of space

But does any of that really matter to Viscount and Viscountess Velcro? Not even a little bit!

They will be interlinking their arms through a game of charades, because simply sitting next to each other is not enough, they must have, at least, four points of contact between themselves at all times
