#benedict bridgerton x charlotte heywood

[jo-harrington]

Yes, yes, Sophie Beckett. Yes, yes, Mr. Colbourne. After being a little disappointed by the third seasons of two shows I enjoyed...I'm only accepting the following:

Charlotte Heywood goes to become a governess in London after she finds out Sidney Parker is dead. She intrigues one Violet Bridgerton who sees an enterprising young woman looking for independence--with surprisingly stellar references from heiress Georgiana Lambe, up-and-coming entrepreneur Tom Parker, and Lady Susan Worcester--and hires her to tutor Hyacinth maybe? I don't know enough about it really get into it.

*vague hand wave* Then give us a strangers to lovers kind of situation between her and Benedict. She's trying to relearn her love for life again after grieving while searching for herself and rejecting societal standards, Ben has very much spent time enjoying life (give him his bisexual awakening earlier for gods sake) while trying to do the same. They both learn from each other and ground each other.

And then Charlotte's level-headedness (and meddling lets be real) helps Eloise and Penelope when the truth about Whistledown eventually comes to light. Because I loved Eloise in season 1 and she's really fucking sucked lately.

You can still have things like...maybe Benedict actually has met Charlotte before at the one ball she attended in London with Sidney and they danced together. Or even Charlotte falling for Colbourne-ish and she's hardened her heart and it's BENEDICT THAT GETS HER TO SEE LOVE AND LIGHT AGAIN.

MORE OVER Esther and Babbington without Esther getting screwed over by Edward again, Georgiana's inheritance and search for a husband, Benedict's whole art school situation. Fuck maybe he's the one who paints Georgiana's portrait instead of Charles Lockhart and she doesn't get swindled and scandalized and he actually gets to make a name for himself as an artist.

SHIT JUST LET GEORGIANA HAVE AN ACTUAL FUCKING PLOT THAT IS TIED TO HER INDEPENDENCE INSTEAD OF HER JUST BEING AT THE MERCY OF SOCIETY AGAIN AND AGAIN. LET HER HAVE SOME KIND OF SELF DETERMINATION WITHOUT HER BEING A TARGET FOR MANIPULATION. I KNOW THAT WAS THE KIND OF THE DEAL IN SEASON 3 BUT ALSO WHAT THE FUCK WAS SEASON 3 AT ALL. AND SEASON 2?! The whole "why is sidney in antigua" ok find out why and then let Georgiana Lambe fucking LIVE HER LIFE. Let her find her mother and rekindle that relationship. Let Lady Danbury guide her to shirking societal expectations and being a wonderfully rich single woman! Maybe she actually finds someone she loves like Otto again, or no one at all. Shit!

*kicks both series into the sun*

Maybe I need to rewatch sanditon again and not just be grumbly. I obviously had parts I like of both and I enjoyed watching just let me have this dumb thing.
