How about... Alicent, Rhaenyra and Mysaria?

"We are getting creative now, I see. Bed, Mysaria. Wed, Rhaenyra. Behead, Alicent. Alas, the Dowager Queen's head is a very pretty one, but she did lock me in my rooms and threaten my life."

Edit: "I must correct myself and also say 'bed' for Alicent ( @septogram) . She used her big, brown eyes on me."

𝐈𝐓 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐍 𝐒𝐇𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐃 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑 𝐃𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐃, to be welcomed into a home like this as a part of it. She had thought the height of her luck had been working at Bridgerton house, being a valued member of the staff and treated as a someone of worth and value. To be loved as truly and completely by Benedict was beyond her wildest dreams... to have a family that wanted her apart of it and had open arms for her, that was unthinkable to her not long ago. Sophie glanced into the mirror, smoothing out her wedding dress as debating pinching herself for the sixth time today. When it was all boiled down to the base facts, in truth the thing Sophie couldn't believe more than anything, was that she was truly and unquestionably happy !

Her thoughts were only interrupted by a knock on the door, half expecting to see her soon-to-be husband sneaking a peek she grinned as she pulled open the door. " I thought we already spoke about following this one traditio... oh ! Lady Bridgerton, " Sophie gave a curtsy out of habit more than anything, " Forgive me, I was expecting... well, we both know Benedict. I'm sure you can imagine. Please, " she stepped to the side to allow her soon-to-be mother in law enter. ( @tondowager )

" 𝐦𝐚𝐦𝐚, " Daphne's voice rang out with overwhelming joy. It had been far too long since she had been in Mayfair. Motherhood was demanding, and sometimes exhausting --- but now preparing for her third, Daphne felt more confident in her ability to manage her duties as Duchess and play an active role in her children's lives. Travel, however, would soon not be easy for her and Simon. With two young children, and more siblings entering society within the year --- she was overjoyed that they had mutually agreed that Hastings house would be the wisest place for their brood at present. Going through her second pregnancy and newborn days without her family had been dreadful, and she was determined not to repeat these patters. Which was why, with an almost girlish fervour, Daphne rushed into her mother's embrace. Simon had gone ahead to the house with their children in tow, allowing her a chance to reunite without added stress before they rejoined them for supper. " Oh, I have missed you and everyone so much. Everyone's letters have been a pale imitation of having one's family at their side again. We have so much to catch up on. " ( @tondowager )

“ If I never look up, maybe ... I'll never notice. ”

@tondowager gets a lyric one-liner from benedict bridgerton.

[a-a-korzion]

@tondowager cont. from here

Rhaenys chuckles softly at the way her minor correction has Violet so flustered that she is blushing and apologizing. "It is hardly disrespectful to raise someone above their station unwittingly." A station that she had once been meant to inherit, but has, alas, never been hers. Not that anyone here in England knows that, and she must admit that it is refreshing for once not to be known as The Queen That Never Was.

"You are most kind, my lady." The princess, of course, is not here to enjoy herself, but to court favor from Queen Charlotte. She had insisted on her accompanying her and Rhaenys was hardly in a position to refuse. "And I must say that you have a beautiful home."

@tondowager // closed starter from daphne

daphne had missed her mama and siblings quite often, but on today of all travel days she had missed them quite a lot. her son august had stayed behind with simon, whom had planned to travel down to bridgerton house about a day later. instead, daphne had brought along two other surprises with her. her young daughter and the newest little surprise that had begun growing inside. "thank you for coming with. truly," she thanked her maid that held her daughter as the carriage soon came to a halt. daphne couldn't help but poke her head out and smile. so many fond memories flooded her mind. daphne took the hand of the footman as she stepped outside and took a few steps away from the carriage.
