Summary
Maybe it was due to her exhaustion adjusting to the madness of Mayfair. Maybe it was from the frustration of being unheard and ignored by her mother and sister. Maybe it was the shame from Lord Bridgerton’s plotting. Truthfully, it was likely everything.
Tears sprang on the edges of her eyes and one trickled down her cheek.
She nearly gasped and opened her eyes in horror only to be faced with Lord Bridgerton’s own horror-stricken expression. He looked at her in shock and incredible remorse.
************************
Kate shows some vulnerability and Anthony feels like the ass that he is (at least, as he is at the beginning of their story), and he must contend with the question - what does it really mean to be honorable?

Summary
Black, curly hair tossed over her shoulder, effortlessly. Large, warm brown eyes. Dark, golden brown skin. Sharp cheekbones. And her legs — oh they were long. She wore a black skirt and tights with black, knee-high leather boots, and her legs were captivating.
Then his eyes caught at her torso. She was wearing a sweater much like his own. Except hers didn’t have the Grinch like his, but had the Grinch’s sidekick — Max.
He laughed, sharply.
The woman, who had been trying to flag the bartender, looked at him. She looked at his sweater and also let out a sharp laugh.
Then she seemed to do the same body perusal as he had and he smiled, smugly as she seemed to linger on his physique.
“Seems we were meant to meet tonight,” Anthony said and at that her laugh turned derisive.
“That’s the line you’re starting with?” The woman tutted. “Shame. Had higher hopes than that.”
********************************************
A fun, Christmas-esque meet cute one-shot.

Summary
Inspired by Beecomfort's Prodigal Son!
*******
"When he heard there was a small acreage of land in Somerset up for sale, only a few tenants to manage for a fairly low selling point, Anthony nearly leapt at the opportunity. Finally, he could practice his management skills. Finally, he did not need to run every minute detail with his father. Finally, he had a space that could be his own.
Anthony signed the paperwork and closed the deal by the end of the week."
________________"Kate did not know many men of society, but she knew the Sharma status was not one typically admired.
A new man of the gentry moving to Somerset. A man who was likely very, very different from Uncle. What if he decided to change everything? What if all of her work was for naught?"
***********
Anthony buys an acreage in Somerset and meets the Sharma family, who welcome him with open arms. Except for the eldest daughter, Kate. Naturally.

Summary
He lowered his voice. “You are the most capable and intelligent person I have yet to meet. You make all of us look like fools.”
Her mouth opened in surprise before she quickly hid her feelings again. “Even you, my lord?”
She was smiling, clearly expecting an argument, but Anthony did not want her to think he took this lightly. He needed to correct her thinking. She needed to know that his initial promises were changing. Even if she did not reciprocate, he valued their honest rapport.
“You have made me the biggest fool, I think. For I thought I could pursue this courtship without any affection or strong feelings. Yet, it is impossible for me to feel nothing when I am with you.”
************
Anthony decides that Kate is the only woman fit to be Viscountess Bridgerton and catches feelings along the way. Fortunately, so does Kate.

Summary
Anthony narrowed his eyes and leaned his arms on the bar top. He tilted his head and said, very matter-of-fact, “You don’t like me.”
“Hmmm,” Kate tutted, pretending to think hard about it, “Decidedly not.”
“You don’t even know me!” Anthony countered, his nostrils flaring.
“I know you.” She shook her head and continued cleaning the bar. “You are not unique.”
“I’d love to hear what you have to say.”
Kate snorted, “I’m sure. I’m sure you love to listen to people talk about you.”
He rolled his eyes. “Go on, then.”
-------They meet. They fight. They get it together by the end.

Summary
“How…” Ilya trailed off. He knew this was possible, of course. Knew that male omegas could get pregnant. But it was so rare it was practically unheard of.
“I think you know how,” Hollander snapped.
“But we used condoms,” Ilya said, dumbfounded.
“Well one must have fucking failed!”
Shane has a huge, life-changing problem figure out with Rozanov. But he can be cool about this. He can be chill. And he definitely wont let feelings get involved.

Shane Hollander is a freshman, living in a dorm room with Hayden Pike and going to all of his classes. He studies at the library, listens to Hayden's ramblings about his fraternity, gets coffee with his childhood best friend Rose, and signs up to be a tutor for the hockey team.
Love persists in all their universes.

“I don’t think you’re supposed to smoke on campus.” Shane mutters, glancing up at the cigarette, then back at the guy’s eyes.
The guy snorts.
“Da. Good thing we are not on campus. I am Ilya.” He holds out his hand.
Shane eyes it, then slowly reaches out with his own. He could smell vodka? on the guy’s breath. Some sort of alcohol, at least. He wasn’t super familiar with the assortments.
But, he doesn't want to be rude. That was one thing he wasn’t.
“Il-ya,” he says, “My name is Shane.”
“Shane.” Ilya repeats.
