Posy Li and Lord Barnaby at Benedict and Sophie`s wedding

[wonderlandleighleigh]

i hope you feel better soon!!

as for prompts, maybe enganged benophie attending posy's wedding? (assuming posy is already married in the epilogue)

It's a lovely ceremony. Posy and Eugene Barnaby are so very happy, standing there, beaming with joy at each other.

Sophie holds Benedict's hand, sitting on the bride's side in the church, beaming as the couple share a sweet kiss at the altar.

"That will be us soon enough," Benedict whispers to her.

In front of them, Araminta clears her throat ever-so-slightly, and Sophie's shoulders slump just a little.

This is the way it will be. The way it will always be. They will have to endure each other. To pretend as if nothing horrible ever happened between them.

Benedict makes things easier. She feels his thumb brush against the back of her hand soothingly.

The wedding breakfast is held at Barnaby House, and Posy bypasses both her mother and sister to hug Sophie tightly.

"Congratulations, Posy," Sophie giggles, hugging her back. "I am so thrilled for you. You look beautiful today."

Posy smiles, elated, still hugging her, paying no mind to Rosamund's muttered words about the color of her dress "Thank you, Sister. Thank you for being here for today."

"I would not dream of missing it," Sophie assures her, rubbing her arms.

"And soon we will be attending your wedding!" Posy cries excitedly.

"You will not be attending," Araminta commands. "None of us will."

"Of course we will," Eugene says as she steps up to them, taking Posy's hand. "Sophie and Benedict have been so supportive through our engagement. We must return the favor, musn't we, Posy?"

"Yes!" Posy beams. "We must." She turns to Araminta, her smile turning into a look a determination. "I must. Mother."

Araminta stares at her daughter for a long moment, before turning and storming off, Rosamund in her wake, looking back at Posy with something like...

Like jealousy.

Posy frowns as she watches them, but takes a breath and turns back to Benedict, Sophie and Eugene, putting on a smile. "I hope you will have something to eat. I picked everything out, and-"

"Posy," Sophie says gently, taking her hands. "It is alright."

"I know," Posy nods. "I know. She can no longer tell me what to do. I now...I now have a husband for that."

"I have no desire to boss you around," Eugene reminds her gently. "Remember? We are in this together, you and I. And whatever your mother thinks, she is more than welcome to think it to herself."

Posy nods.

"Do you need anything, Posy?" Benedict asks. "Wine, maybe? Or something to eat?"

"I am well, thank you," Posy assures him. "But that is very kind." She turns to Sophie again. "We are both very lucky to have found kind men."

Sophie smiles and nods. "I think so, too."

They arrive back at Bridgerton house later, and Sophie would like nothing more than to crawl into Benedict's bed and curl up on top of him; sleep with her face pressed in against his chest.

"You look exhausted," Benedict tells her.

"I am," Sophie admits. "I am so very happy for Posy. But...the stress of being around Araminta."

He nods and wraps his arms around her, rubbing her side. "She has already sent her regrets to the wedding invitation we sent. So she will not be there, thank god. Nor Rosamund."

"I was sad about Rosamund," Sophie admits. "I thought, perhaps..."

"I know," he says, pressing a tender kiss to the side of her head. "What can I do?"

Sophie sighs and looks around the empty front hall. There isn't anywhere here, currently, in the late afternoon. It's strangely quiet. She reaches up and kisses him softly, gripping his arms.

He makes a pleased noise, returning the kiss, gathering her closer.

She pulls away and smiles. "We should not."

He blows out a slow breath and nods, scratching the back of his neck. "I know."

"You should go back to your bachelor lodgings," she tells him quietly.

"I know that, too." His eyebrows raise for a moment. "But...we could always sneak up to my room here...spend some time..."

"Your mother will come looking," Sophie reminds him. "Or one of your siblings."

"But what if they do not?" he says.

"Benedict..."

"I miss you," he admits softly. "We are still a few months from our own wedding, and I constantly dream of you in my bed. In my arms."

Sophie feels a flush creep up her cheeks. "I...I do, too."

"When we are married, I am locking the bedroom door and throwing away the key," he promises. "I will keep you in my bed for as long as I like."

"Our bed," she corrects, gazing into his eyes.

Benedict stares back at her for a long, silent moment, before pulling her into a more urgent kiss, hungry and a little desperate, cupping her face.

It's when someone clears their throat behind him.

Sophie pulls away quickly and whirls around, breathing hard.

"How was the wedding?" Anthony asks as he makes his way to the study.

"Good!" Benedict tells him. "It was-it was good."

Anthony pats his shoulder. "Good." He nods to Sophie. "I shall see you at dinner."

"Yes," she croaks out, still flushed. "Of course." She almost curtsies, but stops herself.

"I...I should..." Benedict rubs his face. "I shall call on you tomorrow."

Sophie turns to him and nods, watching him as if she could eat him. "Yes."

He nods, leaning in and kissing her cheek, before heading back for the door and his horse.

Sophie watches him go and slumps against the wall.

Maybe the reason why Hugh Woodson was changed to Lord Barnaby in Bridgerton is because due to Hugh Woodson being a vicar maybe Benedict and Sophie would have been uncomfortable with Hugh being a vicar for a number of reasons and therefore thought it was better to create Lord Barnaby as Posy's husband

bridgerton fic: a little rebellion (benophie)

Summary:

Sophie takes Posy's hands in between hers and says, "Breathe, Posy. It's all right." The younger woman follows the advice and exhales quietly, before smiling largely again and continuing, "And you and Mr. Bridgerton look so handsome together! Oh, I cannot imagine you marrying anyone better. He is so kind and gentle and attentive, is he not? I don't doubt he'll make a wonderful husband for you, and I'm so glad he's not marrying Rosamund, of all people! She doesn't at all deserve--" And then Posy covers her mouth and looks around them. "I apologize, Sophie. I didn't mean to be so rude." "You are not," Sophie comforts her. She looks behind Posy - half-expecting Rosamund and, god forbid, Araminta, to be behind her. "You came alone?" Here, Posy looks slightly bashful. "Not exactly," she replies. "Although I did not come with Mama or Rosamund, if that would ease your mind!" - or another missing scene from the wedding, this time between Sophie and Posy (because the world needs more Posy)

Notes: Yeah no I just wanted to try my hand at writing Posy and this came out lmao SHE IS SO CUTE ISTG

Mr. Finch 🤝 Mr. Dankworth 🤝 Lord Barnaby

Little to no plot relevance. Just obsessed with their wife/love interest

(It’s highly unlikely we’ll get the vicar for posy that was in the books, but the little scene we got of posy and Barnaby was so cute)
