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.

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.

Summary
Sophie Baek thought she knew everything important about her boyfriend. Over the last year, she has been dating Benedict, the charming British art investor living in New YorK, who is thoughtful, impossibly handsome, annoyingly talented and distinguishing mysterious about his family background.
When the opportunity for an incredible job happens to coincide with the festivities of his brother’s wedding in London, Sophie doesn’t hesitate on joining him for three months in the city.
She is expecting a nice ceremony, awkward introductions, and perhaps an intimidating family dinner. But the moment they step into Heathrow, she is surprised by the relentless tabloids, society gossip, and the horrifying realisation that Benedict is not merely the man that steals half of the blanket and uses her fluffy socks.
He is Benedict Bridgerton, member one of the most powerful aristocratic wealthy families in the country.
Now trapped in the middle of the social event of the year, Sophie must survive judgmental aristocrats, glamorous exes, intrusive media, and the dangerously charming Bridgerton family themselves.

Summary
"I don't pay an interpreter to be a ghostwriter," Sophie said.
"I translated the version of you who wasn't panicking," he replied calmly.On a high-stakes European press tour, actress Sophie Baek needs a literal parrot. Instead, she gets Ben Ledger: fluent in six languages, infuriatingly perceptive, and secretly hiding a Bridgerton inheritance. When he starts translating her hidden intent rather than her PR-scripted lies, their claustrophobic proximity combusts. She is determined to strip away his bohemian disguise, while he is determined to unravel the fiercely guarded woman beneath the fame.

Summary
So, upon his return from Mayfair some time after lunch and after he'd dragged her to their bed because he was tired, Sophie had thought it wouldn't take long for Benedict to fall asleep himself. To her, that had been his plan. Then he'd buried them deep under blankets, grabbed her hand and held it over his chest, and then he--
--launched into a very detailed monologue about his lengthy discussions with his brother, the Viscount Bridgerton, about the decisions Benedict had made on Anthony's behalf while the latter was in India. Something about investments in copper and coal, and maybe even the repeated building and rebuilding of a broken fence.
At first, Sophie had strived to reply earnestly and sincerely whenever she could. After a while, she feels her body completely relax. Her eyelids begin to droop. And she decides to close them for a little while, intending to open them eventually, maybe after a minute or so. She doesn't plan on taking a nap anytime soon, after all.

Summary
Behind her back, Sophie folds up her dance card and slips it into her glove. “Uh, sir, you see I would love to, but I have misplaced my dance card.”
Sophie holds up her empty hands to show him.
“Oh,” the gentleman says. “That is… unlucky.”
There is another male voice from behind her, and a presence of someone on her left side as another gentleman joins them. “Lord Napier, forgive me for interrupting, but I have just found this young lady’s dance card.”
The new gentleman glances down at a dance card in his hand that is decidedly not the one poking into Sophie’s skin from inside her glove.
“But, unfortunately, my name is up next.”
Sophie’s soulmark burns.---
Or: Benedict and Sophie are Soulmates. This should make their lives easier. It does not.

Summary
“Who is the artist? Is he well known?” Sophie arched her eyebrows, curiosity piqued her interest.
“Oh well if he hasn’t yet, he certainly will be!” Mary exclaimed. “Bridgerton’s his name. Benedict Bridgerton”.
Sophie’s heart plummeted to her stomach as fast as the smile on her face did. A tornado of butterflies spurned inside her.

A Season for Scandal by Rose_de_Winter

Summary
Gentle Readers, I have on good authority that the dowager Viscountess Bridgerton has deemed that this is the season that her eldest unmarried son, Mr. Benedict Bridgerton, will take a wife. Most unfortunately for Lady Bridgerton, it seems Mr. Bridgerton is not in favor of this plan, and fled to the countryside. Some might say he is still pining for his mysterious Lady in Silver, though it has been two years since they met, and some doubt she exists. However, the sighs of relief exhaled by various debutantes were heard all over London when he returned a mere six weeks later.
There is also the matter of Mrs. Sophie Morgan, a rather mysterious young widow who is said to have accompanied Mr. Bridgerton back from the countryside. It seems she, and her very young son, have been the object of Mr. Bridgerton’s singular focus since their arrival. This Author believes that Lord Bridgerton will have something to say about that. However, that isn’t even the most shocking bit of news that This Author has been made aware of. But to find out what that is, you’ll have to turn the page…

Summary
Sophie has had a very long morning. After three solid hours of Anthony informing her that her thoughts are merely the "product of a delicate constitution," she decides to provide him with some much-needed stimulation. Specifically, a shove into the lake.
What follows is not a rescue, but a systematic dismantling of the Bridgerton patriarchy, led by a corgi with one singular focus, while Kate and Sophie enjoy a cup of tea. However, Anthony will learn a valuable lesson the hard way: never, ever tell your sister-in-law to take a seat.
