Scandal by GrostoliSugary Rating: E Status: WIP Summary: "The employees of Danbury House are known for their unwavering loyalty to their lady, but even they are unable to silence the rumors that have been circulating about the strange interactions between Viscount Bridgerton and of eldest oldest in the family Sharma sister.

Featured Fic (Modern AU)

Of Vexation and Paintings by sheswalkinginbeauty Rating: M Status: Complete Summary: She is a hardworking art conservator. He is… a Bridgerton. They’re both born filthy rich. They’re both insanely stubborn. And they’re both award-winning, world-class idiots. Kate Sharma had never wanted things for herself. With the exception of this one lost masterpiece. If only Anthony Bridgerton could keep his perfectly, manly, beautiful hands off it.

Is This What Happiness Is? by LilyGoop Rating: G Status: Complete Summary: Kate had spent way too many years believing there was no space for love in her life. She was too busy, there was too much to be done. It was not worth it. And then Anthony Bridgerton had walked into her life and proven just how utterly wrong she was. And there they were, on their six-month anniversary. She wanted to show him just how much he meant to her. But what to give a man who already had everything?

Has someone recommended any works by doodlingaway? All of the writing is fantastic! Take your pic, any of the Bridgerton works are true to character and engaging, and AU is faithful to the originals in just the right balance!

Yes, I believe The Head Boy Who Charmed Me was recommended a while ago, but it’s always great to shoutout the fic writers you love!

[kanthonyficrecs]

Anyone have any fic recs for this?
