Ok so I definitely got hit by the Bridgerton bug during lockdown and now season 2 is out and I’ve watched it multiple times (and reread the books again for the I-don’t-know-what-th time since I found them) I have a very specific fit desire but 0 time or inclination to write it at the moment.
But I’m imagining modern au Bridgerton family feels wherein Benedict is an addict, Colin is using travel to run away from his problems (read mass debt he’s afraid to tell Anthony about and/or running from dealers and/or running from the consequences of what he says about Pen), Anthony is struggling to find a way to form a relationship with a child he didn’t know he had (firmly believe he is a Rake in every universe) and balancing a budding relationship with Kate, Daphne and Simon struggling with something (as yes undecided), Eloise’s mental health spiralling (mostly social anxiety that she’s desperately trying to hide as she tries to network and balance her law studies), Fran, Greg and Hyacinth are all mostly ok because I can’t put everyone through it in one story…
Violet is just doing her best but she knows all her children are keeping things from her. Obligatory Aubrey Hall scenes.
Pen is Pen and deals with her family commenting negatively on every aspect of her life as if she’ll never amount to anything, Felicity is being pushed into a relationship she doesn’t want to stay in but it’s making their mother happy and she feels the pressure to keep doing that since their father died
all of it is angst but also so much fluffy family feels and supportiveness because their family dynamic makes me melt inside just a little
