Summary
“Please,” he forced the word through his clenched jaw. “Go inside.”
Like it cost him something to say.
Kate did not move.
She should have argued.
Should have said something—anything.
But the exhaustion—the constant restraint, the expectations, the careful performance for a society that had already judged her—pressed down all at once.
“Go inside.”
Or
A canon divergence set during S2E7 where Anthony tells Kate to go inside—and Kate listens.

Summary
Ben scrunched up his nose, his expression sheepish. “I think my brother might be your soulmate.”
Kate couldn’t help but snort. A few minutes ago, she had been ready to shag Ben, and now he was telling her that it was his brother she was meant to be with — if one believed in that nonsense.
Ridiculous. A practical joke by the universe, that’s what that was.
Letting go of her, Ben held up his pointer finger. “Just let me call him. I’m sure he’ll want to meet you.”
“What if I don’t want to meet him?”
“Just meet him,” Ben said with a roll of his eyes. “And then you can tell him to fuck off, if you want.”
OR
I finally expand the soulmate drabble I wrote two years ago.

Summary
London 2006. Anthony is a successful property developer and perennial playboy living in—*checks notes*—his family home. His mother, who is eager to see her son move forward (and have less kids crowding the house), sets him up with Kate: a promising interior designer who’s looking for someone ready for long-term commitment. If Kate promises to help give Anthony the nudge he needs to move out, Violet will find the right man for her. (Un)knowingly, matchmaker Violet starts a fire… and fans the flames.
Started off as a Failure to Launch (2006) Kanthony AU. Mission failed, I have completely strayed.

Summary
Coffee shop owner Kate Sharma has spent five years locked in an annual battle of contract negotiations with her infuriatingly handsome landlord, Anthony Bridgerton, CEO of Bridgerton Properties. Now, with a crippling 7% rent increase looming, the future of Sharma House is in jeopardy.
Meanwhile Anthony is under pressure from his company’s board (and his mother) to settle down and prove he’s a stable, family-focused leader.
Anthony proposes a deal: a fake, contractual relationship to get his board and mother off his back. In return, he will drop Kate's rent increase to a manageable 3% and lock in the rate for three years.
But as they begin their contractual obligations, navigate scrutinizing family members and high-stakes investor receptions, and start spending more time with each other, their carefully constructed boundaries quickly break down, and Kate and Anthony must decide if the professional reward is worth the risk of falling for the person they've spent years fighting.

Summary
Kate is given two options to secure Edwina’s dowry by the Sheffields—marry a man from a noble family, likely a widower or an untitled third son, or return to India. Only one of these options keeps her near her sister, who in turn must marry a titled man.
Benedict has no plans for marriage. Not even when Anthony suddenly barges into his room, offering him double his allowance if he takes a wife. He was only half humouring his brother and his ridiculous list of eligible ladies when he stumbles upon a woman foreign to the Ton and is immediately fascinated by her. Of course, this woman, perhaps in particular, is not on his brother’s list.Bookmarked by hungrynomad
