bridgerton inspired / regency romance plots someone should give me, please and thank you. ( faceclaims & your muse details are 100% flexible! )
muse a is a ruined nobleman whose late father bankrupted the estate through a series of increasingly embarrassing addictions and vices and scandals. muse b is the most popular debutante in england. heโs been in love with her for years, but has never said a word as he has nothing to offer. but this season, after putting it off for a handful of years, sheโs declared it's time for her to find a husband. he smiles, congratulates her, wishes her luck. what else can he do? internally, however, his heart is cracking. he's about to lose her for good, without ever being brave enough to try. what he doesn't know is that she has always wanted him too---she's just done waiting for a man who's never going to come. ( wanted faces: my philip frossaint vs your aslihan malbora. )
muse a is the mischievous rakehell son of a good family, muse b is the dutiful and demure daughter of another. their parents are encouraging a courtship between them ( or maybe they've already been betrothed against their will ) but neither of them are thrilled about it. he finds her horribly dull, she finds him utterly ridiculous. he's fixated on the most enchanting lady he met at a recent masquerade, who he spent the night dancing and flirting with, but whose face he never saw. she's similarly pining for a scandalously charming gentleman who wooed her at the same ball---she just wishes she asked his name before the night ended! neither of them realize they're searching for each other while simultaneously avoiding each other. or are they simply unable to accept it?

muse a is a nobleman / untitled gentleman, muse b is the widow next door who he's been having a affair with for a handful of years. discreet, affectionate, and absolutely lovely, of course, but he knows itโs run its course. it's time for him to find a wife and settle down. but as he navigates the social and courts to the fresh crop of debutantes, his thoughts keep drifting back to her. it's preposterous---she's older than him, already has children, and - crucially - has sworn off marriage entirely after the death of her dreadful husband. sheโs made it clear she wants her independence, and he respects her choice. and even if she was willing, the match would cause such a stir. and yet he can't picture a life with anyone else. ( wanted faces: my antonia thomas vs your sean teale. )
muse a is a nobleman's ' orphaned cousin ' and ward. meaning, of course, that sheโs his bastard. her father did his duty by taking her in and raising her under his roof, but his health is rapidly declining, and her step-mother has always resented her. she's terrified that she'll be thrown into the streets when her father passes, and has resolved to marry the first eligible idiot she can con into asking for her hand. muse b is the potential idiot she's got in her sights. seemingly trusting and easy - going, with status and funds enough to provide for her. all she needs to do is make herself his perfect match, and she's always had a talent for playing her part. the hunt is on. ( wanted faces: my maddison jaizani vs your calahan skogman. )
muse a is a young lady recently wed to a nobleman, with little choice in the matter on her part. her husband is far older than her, treats her like a nuisance and a pet intermittently, and often leaves her alone for weeks at a time. she's miserable. and worse, she's lonely. so who can blame her, really, if her gaze keeps drifting to muse b---her husband's handsome young valet, who is gentle and courteous and treats her like a person, and seems to think she deserves a romance far better than the one she was forced into? and who can blame him if he looks back? her husband is hardly going to notice. ( wanted faces: my steve sanghyun noh vs your amelia gething. )
muse a is yet another young lady being forced into a match by her family, but this one takes a stand and runs away. it's . . . ill - advised, to put it gently. a spoiled, sheltered, somewhat bratty debutante out on the streets of london, living among the common folk? it's a wonder she didn't end up dead in a ditch. instead, she somehow found a position as a secretary / clerk for muse b---a forbidding young solicitor who's a rising star in london's legal system. and she's atrocious at her job. he should have fired her weeks ago. and yet, every time he considers it, he somehow finds himself threatening her greedy landlord or teaching her how to darn a sock instead. what's wrong with him?
