Current Fic - Start: 2026.03.06
Inspired by the Netflix series Bridgerton, this fic explores an alternate setting closer to our own colonial history. Set in Bombay (now Mumbai) in 1814, Kathani "Kate" Sharma is a woman fighting for independence from the British Empire and the East India Company's growing encroachment, all while working to provide for her family. Anthony Bridgerton is a viscount who served with his father in the East India Company's military until his father's death, after which Anthony left for England. Anthony has now returned to Bombay to reclaim his family's abandoned property and, with the opportunity opened by the Charter Act of 1813, establish an agent-house and business that could even rival the East India Company. Kate and Anthony start from opposite sides, but will their mutual hatred for the East India Company be enough for them to become allies as the threat of war looms once again over the Maratha Empire's territories and the British forces?
