Where is my Bridgerton/regency era Vox Machina fanfiction?
It is time for the ladies, whom have never met, to be presented to society and in front of Queen Allura who will decide who is the Diamond of the season. And for the suitors to find their future brides.
Vex’ahlia and Vax’ildan are the “bastards” of Lord Vessar but because he has given them his name, they are expected to up hold it and become parts of high society. That includes marriage. While Vex wants no part of it, if she is going to be forced into this she is at least going to make sure she has the best options. Which means being the Diamond of the season.
Vax has no desire to appease his father, or inherit the family holdings. But has the only son with two sisters he loves, he knows he must eventually settle down. And he refuses to settle for anything less than true love. He thinks it may be impossible until he sees her.
Keyleth has always done what she could to make her family proud, to her best abilities. She isn’t the perfect wife for a lord, she talks too much, is clumsy and hates the attention that comes with nobility. But she knows she must find the best match, for her family as she is the only child. She doesn’t see love being in the cards for her.
And the biggest news of the season, Duke Percival De Rolo is finally looking for a wife. After losing most of his family in a tragedy all except his sister Cassandra who is a couple years off from marriage, Percy locked himself away to commit to his studies. Now he has finally decided to take a wife, for the family legacy in Whitestone. He doesn’t think much will come of it, until he meets a woman who challenges him at every turn.
Also making her debut is Pike, a petite lady who doesn’t take the whole thing very serious. She is more than happy to live out her days with her best friend and grandfather’s ward Grog, just having fun. Grog, a man who stands above all the rest, only agreed to it all so he can make sure Pike doesn’t end up with anyone undeserving. Which is everyone in his mind.
Then there is the original rake, Scanlan. Who’s reputation has made him fairly unwelcome, especially to those who have daughters.
Edit: oh Vex and Percy will end up being a marriage of convenience at first. They like each other enough, she gets a grand title and he gets someone that will care for Whitestone as he does. And then of course they fall in love but with either admit it? Of course not!
And during the stay in Emon, Percy is staying at the Ashari house because his family and hers goes way back. The two are good friends and when someone comments about it being improper for him to stay at the same home as Keyleth he basically threatens them if they try to disparage his friend’s reputation again.
Vax falls hard and fast for Keyleth, and tries every way to woo her. Keyleth, while her feelings grow for him, knows she has to marry for her family’s status and that having feelings involved will only make it more complicated. She sees marriage as a job, not something out of love, much like Percy does. She also has another suitor Kashaw Vesh trying to win her hand, though against her better judgement she can’t take her eyes off Vax.
AND PIKE IS LADY SARENRAE ! Aka lady whistledown lmao
