Become A Bridgerton - Yandere!Colin Bridgerton x reader

requested by: @ilovechickenwings & anon

summary: Colin does something horrible to you on your eighteenth birthday which forces you to marry him.

warnings: rape, noncon, somnophilia, manipulation, drugging, baby trapping, forced marriage, breeding

author's note: this is really dark so please take care of yourself before and after reading <3

As you entered the Bridgerton home, you were struck with awe. Even better, today marked a special occasion. Today, you were celebrating your eighteenth birthday with your best friends, Eloise and Penelope. Your parents had allowed you to have a small sleepover to celebrate your age, and of course Viscountess Bridgerton and the elder brothers would be watching over you three.

You walked in through the foyer to the parlor, where most of the family was gathered.

"Oh, (y/n), welcome and happy birthday," the Viscountess said, embracing you in a warm hug.

"Officially marrying age, how exciting?" Benedict teased as he turned away from his easel and looked at you.

"Leave her alone, Ben!" Eloise groaned. Her and Pen stood up from the settee and hugged you as well.

"Do you ladies have any special plans for tonight?" Viscountess Bridgerton asked the three of you.

"I thought we could roam around the gardens and read a bit. Perhaps play pickleball or another yard game," Eloise said.

Behind you, Anthony and Colin entered the parlor. Hyacinth all but jumped into Anthony's arms, and Colin walked right over to you.

"Happy birthday, (y/n), and congratulations," he added, smiling at you and making intense eye-contact. You hadn't seen him since before he had left on his travels, and you had to admit he was now very handsome.

"Congratulations? What for?" you inquired teasingly.

"You are now marrying age, correct? Your mother told mine that you would be entering society next season."

"Oh, well yes, I suppose. I don't feel ready yet at all," you confessed, twisting a lock of your hair.

"If we want to walk in the gardens, we must leave soon," Eloise urged impatiently.

"Oh, right, sorry. I'll see you later, Colin," you added before being pulled away by your best friend.

Even long after, you were left daydreaming about how tight Colin's shirt looked, allowing you to see the outline of his strong chest. You liked the light facial hair he had grown and the new styling of his hair, which suited him much more. You thought about him even while Pen and Eloise were debating about Lady Whistledown, and all throughout your garden walk. What was this feeling blossoming in your chest?

---

"I'm not ready to be a wife, I feel like I have so much more fun left in my life!" you groaned, stretched out on one of the parlor settees. The Viscountess had allowed you three some time to socialize in the parlor alone after dinner, so you all took the opportunity to get comfortable and talk.

"Being a wife can be fun sometimes," Pen volunteered.

"And how would you know?" Eloise snapped, setting her book aside.

"El!" you scolded.

"There's the marital act, which none of our mothers have explained to us, but it is supposed to feel good. And if you have a nice husband, he might let you enjoy it, too," Pen shrugged. She began to take some of the pins out of her hair, causing red locks to fall around her shoulders.

"The marital act," you shuddered, "those words alone scare me enough."

"Colin, Benedict and Anthony know but they won't tell me. And of course Daphne won't, either. But I assume it has something to do with the process of carrying children," Eloise said.

All of a sudden you heard a loud knock on the closed door. The three of you gasped.

"Bedtime, ladies," Anthony commanded in a stern voice.

"Fine, brother!" Eloise shouted back, rolling her eyes and standing up from the settee she had been laying on.

---

The Bridgerton house had a quite a few guest rooms. It was one of the reasons you enjoyed staying there, as your home was definitely not as fancy. You made your way to a small guest room the maids had made up for you at the order of the Viscountess.

Taking a deep breath, you shut the door behind you and turned on the oil lamp. You changed into your nightgown and began undoing your hair, twisting the pins and decorative ribbons out of the style. Your mother had done your hair in a special style for your birthday.

A slight knock sounded at your door. Who could it be? Perhaps Penelope needed more sanitary napkins.

"H-hello?" you asked, opening the door slightly. Colin.

"Good evening, (y/n). I was wondering if we could talk? I brought some tea for you."

"This isn't a good time, I'm getting ready for bed," you whispered.

"Just a few minutes?"

"Alright," you agreed. Colin closed the door behind him and sat down on the bed. You sat down next to him, taking the tea saucer from his hands and sipping tentatively.

"You never told me, how was Greece?" you asked, looking up at the man beside you. Although he was only twenty-three, he felt like a grown adult compared to you. Even at eighteen, you still felt like a little girl.

"It was beautiful, (y/n). Maybe I'll bring you there someday. Would you like that?" he asked, eyes trained on you as you took another sip of the tea.

You nodded, wanting to speak but finding yourself unable to. You tried to set down the tea saucer but Colin took your hand and raised it up to your mouth again.

"W-what are you--" you stuttered before he made you take another sip.

"Shh, it's okay my love. Just drift off to sleep," Colin urged. After you finished the tea, he helped you lay comfortably on the bed.

You fought to keep your eyes open, but the last thing you saw was Colin staring at you with a sickly smile.

---

You awoke to the sound of birds chirping and the sun streaming through the guest room's shades. As you rubbed the sleep from your eyes, you realize there was a sharp pain in your lower region. It was not yet time for your monthly cycle, but perhaps you were early?

The shooting pain was still there as you hobbled to the washroom, hoping a quick urination might relieve the pain.

You looked into the bowl after you were finished, a small bit of blood there. You must be starting early, there was no other explanation. Maybe Colin knew something, as he was there with you before you fell asleep. You went to sleep a lot quicker than you'd been meaning to, but perhaps it was because you had a long day.

---

About six weeks later, you still had not gotten your monthly cycle since before you'd stayed at the Bridgerton's, aside from the small bit of blood from the toilet. You felt fragile and constantly sick. You looked bigger and your breasts felt heavier. You'd never felt anything like this, and you were scared. Did you have the plague? How could you have even gotten it?

After a few weeks of worrying, your parents were able to get a doctor out to your house to check on you.

The doctor, a stern old man, examined you, asked questions and inspected you thoroughly. When he was finished, he took your parents aside.

"You stupid, stupid girl!" your mother yelled from across the room. You looked at her, confused and surprised.

"What are you talking about?" you asked innocently.

"Who did you have sexual relations with?"

"I-I don't know what you're talking about!"

"The marriage act, who did you do it with? Oh my, we must find the boy and ask him to do the honorable thing and marry her. Or else she'll be a soiled spinster!" your father shouted.

"I didn't do the marriage act, I promise! I don't even know what it is, I've never even kissed a boy!"

"If you will not be honest, we must take this into our own hands as soon as possible. You are pregnant, stupid girl," your mother spoke. She yelled back and forth at you with your father, but your brain couldn't comprehend it anymore.

You were confused, having been sick for almost six weeks straight. Six weeks ago was your birthday, when you had fallen asleep by Colin. Could that be the marriage act? You would have to speak with him as soon as possible. How does one get pregnant?

---

"I need to see Colin," you tell the butler urgently once you arrive at the Bridgerton estate.

The butler nods and escorts you to what you assume is Colin's study, as he is sitting there at a desk, writing in his journal.

The butler leaves and you make a guttural noise, alerting Colin of your presence.

"Oh, hello! It's great to see you again, (y/n). I've been expecting you."

"Y-you have?"

"Yes. I heard the doctor was coming to your home to check up on you. I knew it meant my seed had taken."

"What?"

"Marry me, my love. We can travel with our baby and eventually settle down. You will have a luxurious life with me, more than with anyone your parents could pick for you. Come on, (y/n). Become a Bridgerton."

"What did you do to me?" you cry, reaching your hand gently down to touch the tiny bump of your stomach.

"The tea I gave you put you to sleep and boosted your fertility. I picked it up at a bazaar in Greece, when I first had the idea to do this. I consummated our marriage, though a bit early. You would be wise to accept my proposal. This is your only chance at a good life, (y/n)," Colin explained with a slight smirk on his face.

You slid to the floor, dress cushioning your fall. You nod through the tears, in disbelief that Colin had taken advantage of you. You didn't even know what he'd done to you. You weren't sure you wanted to know, either.

[sea-owl]

Something inspired by @yellowdressesandyearning post found here.

Portia pursed her lips. Penelope had not come home for dinner. That Bridgerton boy must still have her. Honestly, did he have to keep her away after dark? Now Portia can't turn a blind eye like she does when he sneaks into Penelope's bedroom.

Honestly, the things she ignores for a grandchild.

Walking across the street, Portia asks for Lord Bridgerton or the Dowager Viscountess. Either will do. If her daughter is where Portia suspects better to have one of them with her.

"Lady Featherington," Lord Bridgerton and Violet greet her.

"My Penelope didn't come home for dinner. Is she still here?"

Violet and Lord Bridgerton looked confused at one another. They tell her they had not seen Penelope all day.

"Then do you know where I can find, Mr. Colin Bridgerton? He had picked her up for promenade this morning."

"He is in his bedchamber," Violet answered. "Has been there since this afternoon."

"I can grab him," Lord Bridgerton offered.

Portis shook her head and began following. She knew that's where Penelope was, no reason holding off the wedding any longer. "I rather speak to him myself sooner than later. I do need to find my daughter."

They stopped at the door in the family wing. Lord Bridgerton opened the door. "I assure you Lady Featherington Penelope is not in Colin's bedchambers-"

Portia raised an eyebrow at the scene while Lord Bridgerton and Violet's jaws dropped.

"WE ARE ENGAGED!" She heard her future son-in-law exclaim, holing up her daughter's left hand, which now had a ring.

Thankfully, both Penelope and Colin were still clothed. Though they definitely dressed down to be more comfortable. She was just down to her chemise while he only wore trousers and no shirt.

"Finally!" Portia herself exlaims. "You have only been sneaking into my house every night for the past two weeks."

"Dear God," Lord Bridgerton muttered pinching the bridge of his nose.

Violet sighed, "I need a drink."

Portia turned towards her daughter. "Penelope, I expect you back home before sunrise. We have a big day tomorrow to start planning the wedding."

With that, Portia walks back towards her house. The Bridgertons can host the sleepover tonight.

HR Sleepover Asks: Compare and contrast your new fave HR heros list with your old one 👀

EXCELLENT. Here is a link to my original list from April.

So top hero-wise, I'd say Ralston, Rhys Winterborne, and St. Vincent remain consistent. But to ADD to the list:

Lysander Blackstone ("Stone") from Always Be My Duchess by Amalie Howard: So underrated, classic Outwardly Proper Man who is just so deeply affected by the heroine, a ballerina and wow does the longing pay off. He's a gentleman but will bend you over a desk (not his desk; A desk).

Duke of Clayborn from Heartbreaker by Sarah MacLean: Gentleman, and again outwardly proper, another hero that's just obsessed with the heroine (like right off the bat; we're talking kissing about 20 minutes into their acquaintance, and doesn't hesitate to make that known in a variety of most excellent ways.

Crispin from Duke of Depravity by Scarlett Scott: What a MESS this man is. Falls drunkenly asleep on the heroine's tits after calling them "bubbies". Steals her fichu and uses it for unspeakable things. Cries. Eventually cleans up his act enough to become delightfully spanky near the end. A+ redemption arc.

Duke of Gracewood from A Lady For A Duke by Alexis Hall: Another (initially) messy man, but infinitely more sympathetic. I remember Viola thinking something along the lines of Gracewood "being pleasing towards women and women pleasing him" or something like that and that tracks; he's like, very comforting/reassuring and just really really romantic.

Grey from The Millionaire Marquess by Scarlett Scott: Basically imagine a hottie marquess who's chasing after his friend's housekeeper and asks her to be his mistress for a month, but he's so smooth and hot enough so you're not at all insulted by his indecent proposal.

Sterling from Surrender to the Devil by Lorraine Heath: idk, a man who immediately propositions a woman upon meeting her just speaks to me as a concept. Similar to Grey, actually, and is that right level of persistent while not being uncomfy.

Clay Madden from Prince of Broadway by Joanna Shupe: It's always fun to see a hero lean into the "bit o' rough" bit and this man absolutely does when he's all like "I gotta warn you Florence, I'm not one of your pampered uptown gentlemen" and she's just like "yes plz". Excellent dirty talker, even when it takes a weird turn into satyrs (?).

So I think compared to my previous list, I've a) diversified in terms of authors, and b) leaned into the hot mess express heroes. They don't need to be Val (from Duke of Sin)-level problematic but they're messy men and I'm down for that as a concept.

[livingonfanficseyra]

It absolutely makes sense. I think it's more realistic to see them travel through the ups and downs of the life together rather than have a "happily ever after" fairytale life. 💜

Hey, Ria! 🤍

How do you picture your favorite Bridgerton couple after 20 years of marriage?

Hello, Eyra! 💜

It's actually a bit hard to answer (mainly because I've always struggle imaging the future 😂)... I'll answer focusing on a Modern Alternative Universe rather than focusing on the books, but I think the answer would still make sense if we omit the modern aspects!

I'd say they would be living happily together in their dreamt house (or flat, or bridge, or wherever), full of the things and memories and achievements that they have built together as a couple and individually (like titles degrees, prizes, diplomas, and the sort); perhaps with children because they would be that kind of couple that say "I want to know what the result of mixing our genes would be like".

They, of course, have faced pretty much "uglies" in their life (because life is not easy), and they have worked together, even if angry at the other, to overcome said uglies, bringing them even closer together.

I'd hope, after all those years together, their passion, dedication, thrill, and excitement are not lost, and they look at the other as the first day they discovered they loved the other.

Does this make sense? I don't know, but worth the try. 🫠😂

Season 3 Kathony and baby Edmund Headcanons

Kate likes to complain that their son, whom she carried in her stomach for nine months, looks like a miniature Anthony even though she secretly loves it. Kate finds it adorable when her 3-year-old gets frustrated at something silly. His face screws up and a thin crease appears on his tiny forehead. Kate has to bite her lips from laughing out loud.

Anthony disagrees with Kate when she says that Eddie looks more like him than her because when he watches his toddler son walking with Kate, his tiny fingers clutching the skirt of her dress, his dark curly hair bouncing, all he can think of is how much his darling son resembles his wife.

Edmund Bridgerton’s first word was Katie. He used to follow her around, calling her Katie instead of Amma until he was four, four and a half years old. When he's older, he calls her Katie and smiles innocently at her on special occasions when he knows that she’s mad at him. Kate knows his trick very well, but she still falls for it.

Mary Sharma loved babysitting her grandchild, saying that he was such a sweetheart who would never cause any trouble. However, one incident made her change her opinion about little Eddie. She had left him alone with Newton for two minutes to fetch biscuits and on return, she was met with a boy and dog, fully covered in mud and dirt. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry as Eddie smiled mischievously at her, showing his cute dimples.

This started as HCs for S3 and ended somewhere else. If you liked these, please let me know your thoughts in the comments below. Also check out List Shenanigans for Kanthony and Baby Edmund short stories 💜

Thanks to the wonderful @viscountessevie for organizing The Bridgerton Sleepover 2.0. I had a blast sending asks and making posts.

I don't know if you can even tell us yet but the Crazy Russian Prince (I know he has a name but I do adore calling him that until you publish x)

The book Prince of Dreams actually gets into this but Nikolas has an illegitimate child with a dairymaid who worked on his farm (from before his marriage), and the kid is eventually sent to him. At first he spurns the kid because he reminds Nikki too much of of his dead brother, but then he warms to him and outrageously spoils him, and then finds a happy middle ground after shit goes down.

So:

Nikolas would be inclined towards spoiling kids and Edwina would actually have to curb the spoiling. He's also a relatively unorthodox parent and does things like have his kids sit in on tutor/governess interviews (which happens in the book).

I like the idea of Nikki doing the St. Vincent-esque method of soothing his fussy baby by crooning that he'll fuck up anyone who upsets them.

If Edwina has daughters she will perpetually be reminding them about the fickleness of reputation and that they should be careful, but they are privileged enough to not have to completely reject self-expression in favor of reputation.

It's definitely an uphill battle for Nikolas in terms of being emotionally available to his children, especially his sons, because of his own fucked-up childhood. Edwina, on the other hand, is forever conscious of how she treats her daughters and ensuring no undue burden is placed on any of them.

[triviareads]

@starry-sky-stuff putting this in a separate post because I do have some thoughts.

I think all the kids have a strong sense of noblesse oblige instilled in them, for better or for worse.

The expectation for Gabriel, how much ever Charlotte and Clairmont try to make it as unburdensome, is that he'll sit as an MP in the Commons and distinguish himself there until his dad dies and he can sit in the Lords as the next Earl of Clairmont. I think his way of rebelling is that he's a really sport/land/nature-focused guy and that especially comes in handy with the ongoing industrialization of the country and how large landowners like their family deal with farming and other such matters.

Lady Caroline, who goes only by her middle name Alexandra/Alix, receives the brunt of her mother's attentions especially when it comes to her education. She finishes her education in France at Marie Souvestre's progressive school and comes back an even more glamorous deb than her mom was back in the day. She uses her popularity to fundraise and champions cause like the New Hospital (founded to help poor women receive medical care and supported female practicioners), and Girton College, Cambridge (women's college). She's probably quieter about her thoughts on female suffrage until she's older and wholeheartedly supports the movement.

I wanna go the completely HR route with Julian, and say that he's an edgy child and an edgier adult who manages to out-edgy his parents and probably opens some kind of gambling hell/sex club or something.

[triviareads]

This question for your favourite historical romance couple

See I would go with Evie and Sebastian here but Lisa did a stellar job of showing how they were twenty years into their marriage in the Ravenels series. So instead, I'll be discussing Gabriel and Callie from MacLean's Nine Rules to Break When Romancing A Rake

Are they still adding things to accomplish to their debauched "list"? ABSOLUTELY. Plus, their kids as so well-adjusted that they're not even embarrassed by their parents.

I'm fairly sure Callie was a burgeoning voyeur in Nine Rules so they've probably figured that out by the twenty-year mark.

Callie and Ralston not *quite* empty nesters after 20 years but they're close, and once they get there, they probably travel a lot because Callie's all about venturing into the unknown and adventures and whatnot. Ralston's just here to enable her lol.

If this remained within HR-verse, maybe Callie secretly backs a club open to all genders? Who knows. She was so curious about men's clubs that she broke into a couple times.

That being said, as promised, Callie never binds her tits again 💀

[triviareads]

This question for your ocs Charlotte and Clairmont (not sure if you have any headcanons about them as parents but if so I would love to hear them)

I do actually have some HCs, and have written a bit of them as parents in my yet-to-be-published fic, 1846!

Charlotte Bridgerton and Lord Clairmont have at least 3 kids who are as follows:

Gabriel David Frederick De Courcy, Viscount Harville (named after David Basset, the Earl of Clyvedon, and Frederick Fitzalan) Lady Caroline Alexandra De Courcy (named after Caroline Basset; goes by Alix) Julian Hugo De Courcy

Since the De Courcys live primarily in London, they love being around the extended Bridgerton family and visiting with the kids.

Charlotte is the kind of parent who takes her kids seriously right from when they're little. Even when they ask difficult or weird questions, she tries to explain it to them in a way they understand rather than humoring them or dismissing them.

Clairmont was an only child to a single mother so he probably gets a kick out of having a full house. That being said he's literally thrown in the deep end when he has kids but luckily Frederick Fitzalan is a very present, very cool uncle in the kids' lives.

Charlotte is deeply involved in the education her daughter receives and makes sure it's not a lacking one like the one she received (aka the standard for aristocratic girls). She sends Alix to finish her education at Le Ruches in Fontainebleau, France. The headmistress Marie Souvestre was known for her progressive, feminist education that instilled critical thinking skills and rigorous standards (one of her later pupils would be Eleanor Roosevelt, who basically learned everything she knew from Marie).

[triviareads]

Hey Triv!🤍

Which HR novel do you wish to see adapted on screen if it's guaranteed that they will do complete justice to it?

My first instinct is to say Kleypas's The Wallflowers series and tbh I'm sticking with it. The series is an endless delight and has *actual* female friendships and just 4 very different love stories in unique settings (I mean 2 of them mostly take place in Stony Cross Park, but there's also Jenner's, the foundry in London, wherever St. Vincent gets his ass beaten, etc.) that would be great as a short/limited series/anthology.

But also, I'd really love to see any HR series that's set around a club setting, like the Scarlett Scott's Suttons, MacLean's Rule of Scoundrels, Lorraine Heath's Sin for All Seasons, or possibly even Joanna Shupe's Uptown Girl series. ACTUALLY, if anyone adapted Joanna's Fifth Avenue Rebel series and did justice to the French Ball scene especially, they have my eternal adoration.

[livingonfanficseyra]

Favorite HR heroes?

Lord Westcliff is the first name that pops into my mind after reading the question. Though to be fair, I'll be giddy to marry date any Lisa Kleypas hero.

Marcus is a confident, ambitious, self-made man who is caring and loyal to his family. That is a top-class HR hero. It also doesn't hurt that he is handsome and extremely hot.

Also, I love that despite being aware and always been in control of his emptions, Lillian makes him lose every shred of it. It's hilarious, fun, beautiful and so damn hot.

I don't want to butcher how he is a perfectly balanced hero with my mediocre explanations. You know he is brilliant and for any of who doesn't know him, read It Happened One Autumn by Lisa Kleypas. I promise you, you will fall in love.

[viscountessevie]

Hey Vi! 🤍

I think I have an idea of who they are, but my ask is how do you relate with your favorite character.

If you guessed Kate, Anthony, Francesca, John and Michael then you're right!! Okay so this can become a whole essay and I actually wrote one for Kathony somewhere I can post it another time, so Imma just do TLDR versions!

Kate & Anthony - Eldest Sibling Complex with complicated familial relationships and the pressures, stress and burn out that come with that.

Kate - Her book insecurities and then her relationship with her show version of her family which was very hurtful to watch since my family treats me the same way and the Book!Sharmas were like a healing balm and show just ripped that from me. Anthony - His relationship with death and making peace with dying young. In the show we're basically the same except I would have proposed to Kate only but in the vein of running from our problems and then that fucking up things so much more for us? HARD relate but it is something I am working on!

Francesca, John & Michael - For me these three are more aspirational and I want to be more like Frannie - at least terms of her quiet humour and confidence. That being said their wit and their dynamic is very relatable to me I like to think I have their sense of humor especially Michael's from what we've seen. All my friend groups are close like their and have similar love shared between us (not romantically lol but like the affections there)

Francesca - I relate to how lonely and isolated she feels from her family at times and I too might just elope and show up at my family house someday lmao. I do love the support system she has with John and Michael and I'm the same. I created my own family. John - We never really got to know him but he's just so lovely and kind and I hope I'm the same so I related to how lovely he is with his loved ones and I pride myself on being a good friend and always being there for people I care abt and vice versa. Michael - We're both little shits and while I'm not Michael HOT, I like to think I'm attractive-ish shkjdkj is that too over-confident sounding?? Eh after years of being insecure over my looks, I own it now just like Mikey does. We also have very similar sense of humour and also of course he loved running away as do I oop. Also if I wasn't demisexual, I'd prolly be a Merry Rake too ahahah kidding, or am I?? I dunno the pandemic ruined it for me
