#anthony bridgerton x penelope featherington

[sarcasticsweetlara]

Leap Year is definitely Saphne coded

So you've done a Star Wars AU and a Mafia AU which are all fantastic. But I had another thought after talking with one of my friends and we somehow got into a discussion about which Bridgerton couple would star in what romcom. Like I argued a Ghosts of Girlfriends Past or When Harry Met Sally would totally work with Kathony as the main couple while my friend thought 13 going on 30 would totally being Colin and Penelope. So I decided to ask one of the best AU writers for Bridgerton what they thought. What Bridgerton couple would star in which romcom?

For the purpose of this post, i'm going to list my favorite rom coms, so if when Harry met Sally isn't in here, just know, I didn't like the movie, sorry and as the unapologetic mainstream rom com consumer that I am you are going to find that I'm as basic as it gets. Also, I'm not adding prompts for Franchel, Grucy and Hyraeth in this post because I don't have the energy. So Kanthony, Polin, Benophie and Saphne fans. this one is for you

so here we go under the keep read button. you guys are going to love this post. its a masterlist of rom com prompts for your creative minds to get working:

Kanthony rom coms au

10 things I hate about you: Prince Freddie pays off bad boy Anthony to seduce Edwina's sister Kate, so he can date Edwina because Mary won't let the youngest date of the oldest doesn't approve. Anthony thinks Kate is the greatest love challenge ever. But he slowly falls inlove with her dry wit and charm. they have a pretty amazing relationship until Kate discovers why he started dating her in the first place. Cue the infamous poem that gave the movie its name

It's a boy girl thing: Kate and Anthony hate each other, Kate is the straight A student who wants to get into Harvard. Anthony is the meathead trust fund Quarterback who couldn't care less about his future. They get into a fight in a museum, and some mysterious statue curses them to swap bodies. Kate and Anthony of course use the opportunity to screw with the life of the body's owner. But in the end they come to understand each other's trauma and realize that they're not so different after all. getting together and their souls swap back bodies when they kiss.

Bonus:

Just Like Heaven: Anthony's new luxury apartment is haunted. That's the only explanation he can find for the beautiful but infuriating woman who can walk trough walls and keeps claiming that the apartment is actually hers!. She makes his life miserable, she's completely evil and worse of all, she wont leave!. So Anthony figures out that to get rid of Kate Sharma he has to help her find her way to resolve her unfinished business. Except that the more he gets to know her the more he falls inlove. She's helping him more than he could help her (lol Kate is not dead, she's actually in a coma after a car accident, and Anthony can see her ghost because they're #Soulmates, she's going to wake up with the power of true love when Anthony figures that out)

Polin:

Yes I agree 13 going on 30 would be the perfect Polin movie but I prefer it more genderbent: Colin used to be the nerdy loser guy in school and the only one who hung out with him was actually his neighbor Penelope. But after a birthday in which the popular kids trick him into playing 7 minutes in heaven with Penelope. He goes to bed frustrated and wishes he could be 30 and already sucessful like So yeah, Colin wakes up as a 30 yo, single, he learns that he's a world traveling Celebrity photographer. He doesn't talk to his family, he's got like 10 different girlfriends, and for what it looks like, older him is everything he ever wanted. He's also kind of an asshole. So Colin looks for the only person who's always got his back in any mess. Penelope. Who is a now a small town reporter for the mayfair times and hasn't spoken to him in ages. Cue Colin turning his life around, learning his lesson, realizing he's always loved Penelope. And when he returns to his life at 13 yo, he confesses his undying love and promises to cherish and appreciate her forever.

Sweet home Alabama: Penelope is a high rise CEO who has everything in life. She's a self made stock market millionaire. Set to marry the son of the British prime minister. Except that she can't set a date for her wedding with Thomas Dorset until she gets rid of one tiny problem namely that she's technically married already. You see back in highschool when Penelope was a nobody with writing aspirations in the small town of Mayfair, she used to be best friends with Colin Bridgerton and his sister Eloise. They did everything together. She and Colin got married as a joke in Scotland during their graduation trip and everything was going well. Until Colin said that thing in video to show off with his friends during summer vacation and Penelope moved to London heartbroken. But what happened in Scotland apparently didn't stay in Scotland because the marriage certificate they signed as a joke is still legal and until Colin Bridgerton divorces her, she can't marry Thomas. And Colin has refused to sign the papers every time she mails them to him. So here she is, back in Mayfair ready to track her old highschool crush/ best friend down and make him sign that divorce. She just never expected Mayfair and Colin to feel so much like home. And Colin never expected the love of his life to show up again infront of him.

Bonus:

Definitely Maybe: Colin Bridgerton fresh of his divorce to Marina, is left babysitting his favorite niece Amelia, and after running out of ways to avoid the topic of why Aunt Marina is no longer Aunt anymore. Colin decides to tell Amelia the story of the only three women that he's ever fallen inlove with in his life. Highschool sweetheart Jenny, the successful Clara and his best friend Penelope. It's up to Amelia to figure out which one of these women is the one he married and just divorced. And which one, is the woman he's always loved and never got over.

Philoise:

Sleepless in Seattle: Oliver and Amanda call the radio show Phillip listens to every night to tell the radio to help them find their dad a wife and Eloise hears him talk about his life, and how hard it's been after losing Marina. And she feels a connection, she sends him a letter and is surprised when he replies and they become pen pals. They spend the whole movie looking for each other and missing each other. Oliver and Amanda like her without knowing her and Phillip knows she's the one, but he's afraid she wont like him, Until at last, at the end. They finally after many hit and miss, meet at the London Eye.

She's the man: Eloise and Colin could pass as twins, and all she wants to do is attend the Oxford Political Science program. Sadly it's only open for men in the faculty. So when Colin hightails out of town to backpack trough Europe with her best friend Penelope (Colin how could you), Eloise decides to pose as her brother and take his place in Oxford. Cue Colin's nerdy hot roommate Phillip Crane befriending her thinking she's just a normal guy. Phillip who is somehow terribly unlucky with women despite being chased by them anytime he takes off his shirt to work in the faculty greenhouse ends up asking her for love advice. Now Eloise has to attend class without being discovered. Fool her family into thinking she's taking debutante classes seriously and try not to fall for her hot roommate who doesn't know she's a girl!. Okay, she totally failed at the last one but the other two are doable...right?? right??

Bonus:

Runnaway Bride: Eloise as the four times runnaway bride, who never seems to make it to the altar without pankicking. And Phillip as the jaded divorcee writing a piece jornalism piece on her antics. Now as Eloise prepares for her fifth walk down the aisle and Phillip follows her around writing down everything about her life. She realizes that none of the guys who proposed to her ever let her be herself, or tried getting to know her beyond the surface. Not like Phillip. And as for Phillip, he finds that he's falling inlove with the commitment phobic wonderfully crazy Bridgerton sister everyone warned him about. He wants her forever. But will Eloise want him forever too?

Benophie:

2 weeks notice: Benedict as the eccentirc manchild billionaire who can't do anything without his secretary. And Sophie as the long suffering Harvard graduate that's been his secretary for 5 years. After one too many getting high infront of investors dinner and calling her in the middle of Posy's wedding. Sophie decides to hand in her two weeks notice. Making Benedict to think that got 2 weeks to convince her to stay... Only to realize he actually wants her to stay because he loves her and that's why he cant live wthout her.

The Wedding Date: After a life of struggling in her teens under her step mother's reign of terror Successful Heart Surgeon Sophie Beckett is tried of Araminta and the rest of her family harping about her inability to keep a man, so she decides to post an ad for an escort in the Mayfair times before Rosamunde's wedding. Benedict replies to the Ad after overhearing Sophie talking about her problems on the phone and falling inlove at first sight. What follows is Benedict the escort charming all the rich snotty relatives into approving of Sophie because she's finally has a prince charming. But Sophie thinks he's a high paid escort and Benedict doesn't know how to tell her he's really inlove with her and doesn't want the money.

Bonus:

When In Rome (why do all my Benophie rom coms involve weddings?): Tired of her bad luck in love, after a disastrous wedding day of her sister Posey, in which both her and some bloke named Benedict almost ruined the whole thing. a drunk Sophie picks up the coins from the fountain of a love deity and suddenly men start to fall inlove at first sight with her left and right without leaving her alone. Including Benedict. But how does Sophie know if Ben's love is actually the real deal and not the effect of the fountain magic? And how does Benedict convince her that he's been smitten since he met her long before

Saphne:

The ugly truth: Daphne as a celebrity reporter who beleives in love, Simon as the love cynic who tells everyone that love doesn't exist there is only sex needed for a relationship to work out. And then the tv network forces them to make a tv show together.

Leap Year: Daphne, who has been dating perfect investment banker Friedrich King decides to surprise him with a proposal while he's on a business trip to Ireland. And then she meets Simon Basset, a gruff tour guide who doesn't believe in romance and thinks she's a crazy Brit. They have a road trip in which they end up falling for each other.

[sirena-de-lunas]

funny how we went from daphne and simon having that really terrible forced scene to kate and anthony having the “i will stop.” “do not stop.” and now it’s penelope asking and begging for a kiss and colin looking at her for permission before slipping under her dress. it’s almost like they realized we think consent is ✨ sexy ✨

[aftgmostly]

Season 1 // Season 2 // Season 3

[ophelieverse]

Ready to defend Penelope Featherington from all of you haters:

[askclato]

Colin: You deserve a reward for putting up with me.

Penelope: *smiles* You are my reward.

Anthony: You deserve a reward for putting up with me.

Kate: Yeah, you’re a real bitch sometimes.

[stuffingbuttsandshit]

Benedict kissing Colin and Colin just being there accepting it with no reaction tells me that this happens more often than shown, and I can just imagine Anthony and Benedict just kissing their little brother incessantly just to annoy him and Colin just sitting there not being able to do anything but accept it makes my heart melt

[hufflepotato-18]

BACK AT IT AGAIN

[ruhnlidiasworld]

Nobody, I repeat, nobody is invested in this polin drama as THEY are. Anthony and Benedict are eating this shit up 🗣️ (they're so pathetic)

Please help me find this fic I don’t know where to search and I offered a friend to help them search for it but I’m failing

Hi 👋

Im searching for a Penelope/Anthony fic. Please let me know if this sounds familiar to anyone.

I'm pretty sure it was Mature or Explicit rating but not 100% about that

The synopsis:

Archibald Featherington has died and Pen is tired and sad. None of her family helped with the arrangements, they just assumed she would get it done. The only one who helped her and stood up was Anthony. The fic skips to after the funeral when Anthony escorts Pen back to his apartment. They start to talk out on his balcony and he lets her finally vent while crying on the ledge.

In a vulnerable state, Anthony, holds Penelope and tells her that he has her. She cries some more then they go to his bedroom, (I want to say they kiss to lead to that, but not sure)

In his bedroom, Pen, (i think ) is straddling Anthony who is loving it and she moans out the phrase "Daddy." Then embarrassed, Pen scrambles off of Anthony's lap, saying it's weird that she called Anthony daddy when she just buried her father. He reassures her that he wants to be the one to take care of her and that he'll eagerly be her daddy. Then there is smut ??? (I think)

That's all I remember about it.

[lanfear-is-my-darkmistress]

I swear seeing Anthony Bridgerton looking at his mother and Lord Anderson talking and saying "he oversteps" was so funny. He's like " who's this man hitting on my mother?" How come no one is talking about this?

[bibluebutterfly]

Someone pointed out how Colin is the first Bridgerton man to actually take initiative when it came to his love interest.

When Simon realized he was in love, he would have rather died than confront those feelings and his trauma about his father.

When Anthony realized, he still went forward with his plans to marry Edwina (until SHE was the one who broke it off at the literal last minute) as she was TECHNICALLY who he was looking for and it was better than confronting his trauma.

When COLIN realized he was in love, he broke ever social rule in the book to be able to get Pen, which includes but is not limited to interrupting her dance with Debling, and chasing down her carriage.

And YES, Simon did have trouble with his abusive father which led him to doubt if he was loveable, and Anthony had to see what his mother went through when her husband died. Yes, these did stunt them emotionally about loving people.

But REMEMBER that Colin is the son who most don’t take seriously, the odd one out, and likely the biggest people pleaser out of the bunch. Plus the last time Colin believed himself in love, he not only got his heart broken, he also got publicly humiliated, drew his family to shame, and was never able to be taken seriously until he changed his entire persona. Not saying he had it just as bad, BUT I do know people who are FAR more emotionally stunted for FAR less.

Anyway, love Colin, and kudos to him for being the first Bridgerton man to take the first initiative to get what he wants as quickly as he did.

Still love all Bridgerton men btw.
