Summary
“Sophie’s at the apartment right now. She’ll be so relieved to know you're awake,” she then said as she smiled at him, using her hand to gently continue brushing Benedict’s limp hair off his forehead.
But Benedict’s smile only twisted higher as he frowned up at her, the first sign something was wrong, and he gave her a confused smirk. Like she’d said something funny that he didn’t understand.
“Who’s Sophie?” he asked, simply.
(OR: What if Violet had shown up during Anthony and Sophie’s first meeting? A mini AU fic of Is He Mine?)

Only, it turns out, the reason he abandoned her in the first place was because he quite literally forgot who she was.

Summary
An offer of marriage is not what Sophie was expecting when she came to collect payment on a debt owed to her late father, but with an all out gang war ready to start and enemies in the shadows eying her newly inherited seat on the Commission, even she knows it's an offer too good to refuse.

Summary
How is he supposed to tell her? “Well, you see Sophie, I’m not currently speaking to my family after spending the better part of the last seven years of my life addicted to multiple substances that finally culminated in a near fatal overdose. And said overdose occurred days before the anniversary of my father’s death. So, let’s just say I have recently decided to voluntarily estrange myself from them, all in the hopes that I never have to have any tough conversations ever again. Don’t worry though, I’ve been running away from my problems ever since I was sixteen and my therapist has already repeatedly told me it's a terrible way to manage my stress and personal problems.”
Instead, he lies.
(or: Benedict Bridgerton finally finds himself a stable romantic relationship for the first time in his life, only problem is that he’s technically not supposed to date until he’s been sober for at least a year.)

Summary
In the end, the 1783 season would go on without much fanfare. Only a few little scandals, overshadowed by the end of the Revolutionary War in America and its aftermath, but there wasn’t much to reminisce about in later years. It was probably as boring as the 1782 season had been.
But for the eight Bridgerton children of Violet and Edmund Bridgerton, it was the most important year of the entire eighteenth century.
Because it was the year their mother and father fell in love.
(Or: The courtship and marriage of Violet Ledger and Edmund Bridgerton.)
