Summary
"Sophie looked between them, trying valiantly to maintain some air of propriety. “Do...do we always speak so candidly at these teas?”
“Only about the important things,” Kate said. “Childbirth, sex, which brother snores the loudest, which one has the largest…asset—”
“Let’s just say they are all equally blessed,” Penelope added, eyes dancing.
Kate cackled. “Oh, but we are the blessed ones.”"or: ABC wives have their weekly afternoon tea, where they dish out all the gossip about their passionate husbands...

Summary
…Benedict, in love with a maid? I confess I find it difficult to picture, though it is not entirely impossible. Our brother has always possessed a keen talent for discovering beauty where others would overlook it. An admirable trait to be sure, and one that makes him a wonderful artist, if occasionally inconvenient in life.
—from Her Grace, the Duchess of Hastings, to Viscount Bridgerton.
As Benedict’s scandalous romance unfolds, Anthony and Daphne attempt to make sense of it through a series of increasingly candid letters, speculating about Sophie Baek and confronting the startling possibility that their wayward brother may truly be in love.
OR; an epistolary oneshot, recounting the events of s4 through the perspective of the two Bridgerton siblings most conspicuously absent from the proceedings.

Summary
An unexpected party invitation leads Sophie to cross paths once again with the man she shared a one-night stand with ten years ago. She does her best to act indifferent, convinced Benedict wouldn’t even remember her.
But the closer they get, the more the past resurfaces.
There’s a cruel dilemma between them: she already has a departure date set, and he can’t promise a future when he’s not even sure he belongs in the present.

Summary
In which, Sophie entertains Posy's wish to visit a butler cafe, and meets...the most handsome, most insufferable man she's ever laid eyes on.
Or, the one where Benedict works part-time in his sister-in-law's butler cafe for fun (as nepo-babies with too much free time on their hands often do), and Sophie is a newly-minted office worker who just wanted to do something nice for her baby sister.
