[kanthonyficrecs]

Featured Fic (Modern AU)

Attorney-Client Privilege by caciopepebowl

Rating: E

Summary: Anthony Bridgerton is reeling from a series of personal and professional missteps when his family hires Kate Sharma to serve as General Counsel and Chief Legal Officer of the Bridgerton family office. Anthony views Kate as living proof that his family no longer trusts him or his judgment. Kate thinks Anthony is the most arrogant, unlikeable man she has ever met. When they actually start working together, they both quickly realize that the truth—like their feelings for one another—is far more complicated.

The Greatest Love of My Life - Chapter 1

"Feeling the first streaks of annoyance get a hold of him, he quickly skimmed the blasted missive. And then his blood ran cold. The card was not an invitation to some random society ball his mother was trying to browbeat him to attend. It was an invitation to a wedding. The wedding of Mr Thomas Dorset to Miss Kathani Sharma." __________________________________________________________

After his failed wedding to Miss Edwina, Anthony flees to the country trying (and failing) to use distance to dampen his feelings for the Elder Miss Sharma. And then he receives a wedding invitation with a scribbled message he just cannot ignore.

My fellow Bridgertonzians, (I have watched Wicked twice already, leave me be) I have come up with some more crazy canon-divergent love confessions. This has been shamelessly inspired by a very corny Brazilian Sertanejo song called "O Grande Amor da Minha Vida! ", The Greatest Love of My Life in English in which the lady confesses her love to a guy by writing it to him at the back of her wedding invitation TO ANOTHER MAN lol (It's SO TRASHY BUT I LOVE IT SO MUCH OKAY? YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO IT IS SUPER VIBES!) I thought it would be the kind of stupid situation Kathony would 100% find themselves in and that's what came out of it! To @mimix007, who listened to me babbling and vibe-checked, you're brilliant, my friend. And again and always, to @harnitbee who is, seriously, best person and beta and writing partner. She stands all my dramatics and only for that she deserves a damn prize. This will be three chapters and one tiny epilogue long and it's all written and betaed so I'll probably be done with posting it by next week! WEeeeeeeee! I hope you vibe with this as much as I did! Happy reading, Enjoy!

Being a woc fan of Bridgerton can be a struggle, especially when it comes to liking the poc characters on the show, especially the woc. Like I remember when s1 came out and the blatant microaggressions and just plain racism coming from this fandom was atrocious. You had people spewing very hateful things about Charlotte, Marina, and Simon and undermining the latter two's pain and trauma at the hands of the white characters---Marina was treated terribly by the Featheringtons and, whether you like Penelope or not, you cannot deny that she also played a part by releasing that letter to the Ton and Simon was violated Daphne no matter how people try to spin the story to offer her some form of sympathy (it still blows my mind that people would want to though).

S2 is just as bad (not even including how they changed the Sharma family's storyline than how it was in the books when that wasn't necessary) and the racist undertones many of the fans have towards Mary and Edwina (as well as Kate but for her it's carries more brown woman needing to be saved by a white man when Anthony is involved because a lot of you all in the fandom are quick to use this trope such as "oh, he's the only one who truly knows her"). The lack of screen time for this family really ends up hurting them to but even with that, whether you like Mary and Edwina or not, it would be a lie to deny the racism a lot in the fandom hold towards them (and how that falls onto the actresses because it was very apparent how many in the fandom couldn't let two Desi women shine without having to bring down the other and Netflix played into that too for drama) and paints every small thing they do as being terrible crimes but in the same breath will not have the same smoke for the Bridgertons, who have their own set of problems (but because they are also the main family, among other things, they are provided more grace without consequences).

Knowing Your Worth by WaterlilyRose - @waterlilyrose

Kate decides she needs to forget about Anthony Bridgerton.

It hasn't happened. It will never happen. And Kate needs to stop dreaming it will happen because she can never let it happen anyway.

Pity that Anthony is not good at taking hints..

I loved this fic so much!! Exes to lovers is always so fun to read when it's done well and one of my favourite authors writes this so well! So many heartwrenching and hilarious moments with these two idiots (including a tantrum over perfume) with a great ending.

I know some fans don't love this ep but I do... The angst was so good

also me: surprised pikachu face at how ANGSTY it is

[butt0nzz66]

So I’ve seen a few posts and felt the need to respond because what. The. Fuck. Why is it to defend Colin you need to tear down Penelope?

There is obvs a lot of discourse going around about the ‘entrapment’ comment and honestly I don’t have an issue with it. He is hurt and lashing out. Someone else posted that when you are best friends you know exactly how to hit eachother where it hurts and that’s what they both did Penelope with her Colin LW takedown and him with this comment. That doesn’t mean they don’t love one another if anything the opposite.

However some people in their defence of Colin have been acting like their first time together was a planned entrapment to get pregnant by Penelope because she knew if she didn’t he would have left her?! I’m sorry what?! Did we watch the same show? Like Penelope isn’t an evil mastermind she is a 19 year old girl who had to develop an alter ego to feel seen by those closest to her and who just found out the love of her life feels the same after saying ew no thanks the season before. Then fulfills her wildest hero fantasy’s saving her from portia and shows her “pleasure she never thought possible”. Not to mention the overwhelming fear she feels of loosing the only person she has left she feels close too. So was she wrong not to tell him right away. Yes obviously. But 1. The writers obvs weren’t going to do that for the sake of drama. 2. She didn’t plan to get banged and knocked up on a couch she didn’t even know how it bloody worked and was swept away with her overwhelming feelings same as him. Seeing as they BOTH KNOW you should not be banging before ya wedding in 1815.

She try’s to give up her true passion in life of writing to spare him the hurt(misguided but his own sister told her to do the same!) then is constantly apologising from the minute he finds out, doesn’t ever downplay his feelings and when she sees the impact her secret has on her new family she puts her head on the chopping block of the queen AND THEN OFFERS HIM AN OUT WITH THE ANULLMENT and the risk of being ruined and pregnant alone(not convinced she knew before the butterfly ball) What more do you want?

In the same way Colin takes time understands his feelings and learns to accept every side of pen and support her not save her. And makes a beautiful and honest confession of love admitting his envy and understanding Pens love for him is as unconditional for him as his is for her.

Which is whyyyy it was so important that the LW secret came out because it knocked both of them off each others pedestals and to see the not perfect lovey dovey side of eachother so that they can build back up to form a very real kind of relationship.

The idea that one of them is the villain is ridiculous and something I see so much online. It’s a hero/villian blame game. Instead of 2 young people who love eachother more than anything else but make mistakes along the way. Ultimately they know their love is worth fighting for. And that’s all that matters.

I’ve 100% come around on part 2 now and can understand it a lot better. I would still love those extra scenes of reconciliation which I feel would have balanced the angst better however we can live in hope series 4 will have that in spades. Same as the adorable kathony scenes(would have loved more of these tbh but Johnny schedule is packed, love this man being booked and busssy)!

Heaven is here if you want it by Sequanea

Rating: M

Summary: What if Kate ran into Anthony one more time after their dance and talk in the library during the Flowers and Hearts ball? What if, after a lot of arguing and yelling at one another, they realized their true feelings for each other and decided to not get derailed by their families and duty and run away to Gretna Green the same night instead?

The Greatest Love of My Life - Chapter 3

"I love you too." The entire world seemed to freeze around Kate, her head turning so fast to stare open-mouthed at the Viscount that it was a wonder her neck had not snapped on the spot. Had he...? He had, hadn’t he?

____________________________________________ Feelings come to a boiling point and there's nothing else to do but to let them out.

Hello people! We've reached the conclusion to this amazing story, now only a little epilogue to go. I was going to post this yesterday but I arrived home from school and fell asleep lol

I'll probably post the epilogue tomorrow, but it really is just a very small thing. Thank you to everyone who stuck with me at this lunacy and left messages. It's been a pleasure. I hope you enjoyed this ride! Happy reading, Enjoy

Something something

read it on AO3 at https://archiveofourown.org/works/59771902 by shivroyspet Kate reached for it anyway, her heart sinking even as her thumb swiped across the screen. Sure enough, there it was—an audio message from Anthony. The little voice memo icon stared back at her, taunting her. She pressed play, and his voice, thick with alcohol, filled her ears. She rolled her eyes and sped up the audio, already anticipating the rambling nature of his message. “I something something love you… something something, miss you… something something, come and get please. I need you” Anthony was always like this when he drank—full of declarations and confessions that never seemed to hold weight in the sober light of day. “I’m not going. I’m not going,” she repeated under her breath, even as she locked the door behind her and made her way to her car. But, of course, she was already on her way.

My thoughts about Polin🥰😘

I have to say this is my favorite season so far. I know it's only part one, but I loved every minute of it. Yes, it's true they are some plots that we're unnecessary, but still believed it was good. I don't know what everyone is complaining about saying they should cut everything out except polin scenes. It can't be all about polin. I mean, yes, it's their season, but if it was just them and nothing else, that would get boring pretty quick. They needed a little drama and gave other people a chance to shine. They did the same thing with Kathony, but it all worked out in the end. I rather liked how it played out, to be honest. Now, back to polin. I actually liked them showing that Colin had a threesome because it shows the audience that Colin was trying to be like his brothers. He thought that was what he was supposed to be like. But once he kissed Penelope, the boy was gone. Colin, having threesomes was him being a boy. He then finally grew up and saw that Penelope was what he always wanted. Even while he was with Marina. He didn't even kiss her he stopped her, saying he is a gentleman and he can't go further. With Penelope, he didn't even care that he shouldn't be kissing her alone unchaperoned. And him having his way with her in the carriage. Speaking of the carriage scene. I loved every minute of it. You can see the yearning and passion as he kisses her. I truly believed that if the carriage hadn't stopped, he might have made love to her right there. That's how much he's been wanting her for weeks. The only disappointment I felt that they shouldn't have gotten engaged before she told him that she's Lady Wistledown. I think what's going to happen in part 2 is that Eloise is going to give her an ultimatum before the Queen wants to unmasked her. Then I think Eloise comes to her senses and changes her mind because everyone wants to know. I also think Cressida will tell the Queen she is LW and to prove her wrong. Penelope goes to sneak out and tell everyone that she is wrong. And that's when Colin finds out he follows her, thinking she might be going to see Lord Debbling or something. He then reads the letter she puts out in the church. I hope once Colin finds out he doesn't break off the engagement. I know he's going to be pissed very pissed. Maybe more so than in the book. I really don't know how they can get past that. I mean Eloise didn't and she's only the friend. Colin is her fiancé so I don't know what he's going to do. Maybe he might leave the country again for a bit to get his head straight. And then comes back when he has calmed down and starts to miss her. Either way, it's going to be glorious. I will love the angst I am sure we are going to see. So until part 2 comes back, I will continue to watch season 3, part 1, over and over and over until I get sick of it. (Which I wont). I also will be reading a lot of fanfiction so writers dazzle me if you can😉
