Love? What the Fuck Guys?! - Benedict

Gareth, a poor young adventurer, receives from his brother George a journal in Italian that belonged to their grandmother Isabella. After much effort, Gareth manages to translate enough of the diary to realize with astonishment that his grandmother has hidden a treasure in his father's mansion! There's just one problem - Gareth and his father hate each other, and haven't spoken in ten years. In his desperation, he turns to his grandmother, Agatha Danbury, for help, and she directs him to the hyacinth patch in the garden, instructing him to explain his story out loud and ask for help. Gareth thinks it's ridiculous, but eventually does, and to his utter astonishment, a girl with auburn hair, eyes exactly the color of hyacinth flowers, and a tongue almost as sharp as his grandmother's appears in front of him. Hyacinth, patroness of treasure hunters, youngest daughter of the goddess of motherhood and family, who created her from hyacinth flowers when she mourned her human lover and the father of her seven grown children, is more than happy to help. None of them think of falling in love during the journey… Hermione was blessed by the goddess of love, that any man who sees her will fall in love with her immediately. But Hermione, a girl from a small kingdom named Fensworth, refuses all men. Gregory, the patron of lovers, decides that this is an insult to love. Hermione must find a man to fall in love with, and he will help her in doing so. He doesn't expect that the blessing will work on him too, and that he will fall in love with Hermione at first sight. Lucinda, the Fensworth princess who is engaged in an arranged marriage to the Davenport prince and Hermione's best friend, decides she likes Gregory and wants him and Hermione to be together, but falls in love with Gregory herself! Little by little, Gregory's divine powers nullify the effects of Hermione's blessing, and he too falls in love with Lucy. But Lucy is about to get married, finally creating a lasting alliance between Fensworth and Davenport…

The Ton in the Bridgertons

We do not see much politics in the Bridgertons but as sexism exist you cannot brush over or make racism disapear in what 40 years ? I try to be sensible about but as I am a white individual I might make mistake and apologise if so and will correct it.

At first we would still keep the same hierarchy of power than the one in real life and, I assume, in the show.

Secondly let's talk about THE thing that changes everything in the Bridgertons : the Great experiment.

The Great experiment appeared for the same reason than show in Queen Charlotte but it's a bit more subtle. It was introduced mostly so Charlotte could marry the king George but never did the royal councils intended to actually give more power to the "other side" of the society. Even if people could now get invited and participate in activity didn't mean they'd be invited or treated well.

Queen Charlotte is actually the one who shacked things up, after mostly focusing on her marriage at first she slowly woke up and saw that despise what was said her own were still being rejected and treaded unfairly. By attending Lady Danbury ball, she shoke things up. When some titles were left without any heir she would think first of giving it to the "other side" (that's how Simon's dad became Duke) etc.

Even thought the Queen Charlotte promoted tolerance things didn't completely work out that way. The "original" Ton felt jealous and left alone and while they couldn't reject the other side at the more little scandal possible they would directly reject a familly. And while young did marry racized Lord it was almost UNFATHOMABLE that an eligible white Lord would marry a girl of colour. It got a little better but there is still a lot of pression on racized people. A few Lord did actually mary girls from the "other side" the most known one being St-Clair, Abernathy and the Sterlings leaving a lot of preassure on their children because they represent this new kind of union and must be perfect. So it is a big deal that so many of the Bridgertons will have union with people of the other side as they are one of the most old and respected familly.

Rewritting of Bridgertons

First of I want to say that it is in no way me bashing Julia Quinn. She has wrote a popular book series that she managed to put on the screen and for that she deserves alot of respect.

BUT

The books are a hot messes for many, many, many reasons, the three last one are ok but still quite questionable.

(I am obviously in no way claiming to be a better writter or that what I'll do will be good but I decided to rewrite and change what I didn't like and what I think could do better. )

Important information about this rewrite :

As I had hard time with honestly any of the love interest, ESPECIALLY, the boys one (with the exception of my boy Gregory, you were boring but cute) and that I felt like the women character had honestly a waste of potential I will change all of them a LOT. I will also rant about why I didn't like them in the first place.

As the books are so messy I also consider the series as canon and I have a lot of confusion about the way the society and great experiments was done ?! Like honestly WASTED potential.

This will NOT be historically accurate my dear friends purely fictional as I'll state multiple time.
