Her Royal Highness, Kate Sharma, First in line to the throne and Anthony Bridgerton, her head of security in head on the pillow, I could feel you sneaking in by Moomin_94 (newtonsheffield)
Pain.
That was the only thing Anthony could feel and time seemed to slow as he fell backwards. He could hear people screaming but the sound was muffled, drawn out, stretching on and on just like this moment was.
He barely heard the second gunshot. Barely heard the screams intensify before it ripped through his chest, stealing whatever was left of the air in his lungs. His breath felt ragged and his pulse pounded in his ears, every beat of it weaker and weaker as red seeped onto the front of his shirt.
A pair of arms gripped him around the middle before he hit the ground and he stared up into her dark eyes. Her beautiful face was terror stricken as she leaned over him, her hair falling around them in curls as her eyes filled with tears and her breathing shuddered.
“Anthony.”
Anthony bit back the gasp of pain and shook his head as hands came down to grip her upper arms, trying to pull her away from him. “Get her out of here.”
Kate shook her head as they tried to pull her away, her fingers gripping the front of his shirt, his blood staining her skin. “No, No!”
Every breath, every word wracked his body with pain as the world blurred around him, his vision fixed on her, “Kate, you have to go. Leave me here.”
“No. Please, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.” Her voice nearly hysterical as the other guards and the police tried to pull her away, fighting their way through the crowd.
His head was spinning and he could feel everything fading. Everything but her. He shook his head, and vaguely he realised he couldn’t move his left arm as he raised his right arm. His hand shook and her hair was so soft as he twisted a curl of his around his fingers. “I’m not sorry. Not for a second of it.”

THE VISCOUNTESS WHO VEXES ME by lauryssamilkshakes
Summary:
Set immediately after Anthony and Kate's kiss at the Featherington Ball. Kate has accepted Anthony's proposal, but almost immediately, they both make good on their promise to vex each other for eternity. Canon compliant.
It took everything in Anthony's willpower to pull away from Kate's lips. They were in the midst of fireworks, yet the only sparks that concerned him were those that had erupted between him and his intended as their lips met.
“We must stop,” he tried to say, but it was half-hearted, his arms around her waist loosening yet not quite ready to let go.
“We must not,” Kate murmured, her arms still wound around his neck.
“We must,” Anthony repeated, “lest we are found –”
“ – and forced to marry?” Kate finished, but with a grin as she moved one hand to his chest, to rest on his heart, making Anthony groan. She was not going to make this easy. “That would certainly help to move things along –”

Sweet Little Loaf (A Drabble)
I have no idea what to title this, so... yeah. This. This is a random drabble of 935 words based on a tweet that @folklauerate thought was very Kate and Anthony. In a nutshell, a woman was driving home from the shops and saw someone walking a corgi, came to a stop and went to say hi. Turns out, it was her corgi and her husband. So, I made a drabble out of after writing some random dialogue between Kate and Anthony. Enjoy! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tapping the steering wheel with a hum, Kate’s eyes slid from the empty road to the path closest to her. The warm evening sun had cast a golden hue upon the dark concrete, bereft of the life she had witnessed just a half hour ago.
Then, she saw it: a glimmer of red and white, streaks of late summer sun bouncing off soft fur. A wiggling bottom and a wagging tail, attached to a loaf-shaped body and carried by stumpy little legs. His ears pricked up, eyes bright as the little guy turned his head, tongue lolling and trying to keep up with his owner’s pace.
Gasping, Kate slowed her car until she crawled to a stop, her own eyes wide and shining at the sweet little corgi. She had to say hi, perhaps give the sweetheart some scratches, a little bit of fuss and love because, well, he simply deserved it.
At the very idea Kate’s own fingers began to itch and, opening her car door, stepped out onto the pavement a short walk ahead of the precious loaf.
She felt her smile stretch across her face when the corgi caught sight of her and, with an energetic yip, began pulling on his lead, his tiny paws scrabbling to get to her. Kate nearly melted at the sight, his precious face lighting up at the thought of being adored.
Bending down, Kate laughed when the corgi all but shoved his head into her hand, his paws resting on her knees with eyes shut, enjoying the fuss. Above her, Kate heard the owner groan and even tap his foot. Good God, she hoped the poor baby hadn’t been stuck with a miserable bugger for an owner.
“Babe,” the voice was low, a sigh heavy on his lips. “I thought I told you to stop coming up to strangers who have corgis.”
Looking up, Kate scowled at Anthony, now tugging on Newton’s lead, and narrowed her eyes. Shit.
“Oh, shut up,” she muttered, and with another stroke of Newton’s beautiful fur, she stood to her full height and snatched the lead from Anthony’s grasp. “It’s not like you haven’t done it yourself.”
A low growl fell from Anthony’s lips and, turning on her heel, Kate walked Newton over to her car. Opening the back door, she picked up her – admittedly, quite heavy – dog, and placed him on the seat where he obediently parked his bum and panted up at her excitedly.
“I was chatting you up, Kate,” Anthony hissed from behind her, one arm wrapping around her waist and tugging her into him. “I was not interested in the corgi.” Flattening his other palm onto the window of the car door, Anthony slammed it shut.
Huffing, Kate wriggled in Anthony’s grasp, which only served to make him pull her that much closer.
“Funny, because I distinctly remember you only asking about Newton when you pulled up beside us,” she teased, and lowering her voice to a gruff cadence, continued with a grin. “What was it you said? Oh, yeah, What a beautiful little dog. You take such good care of his fur…”
Anthony groaned, his head dropping onto her shoulder, his arm tightening. Before Kate could finish her impression of their first meeting, she felt her body turn until her back was pressed up against the car, Anthony’s face mere inches away from her own.
His eyes were dark, lips slightly parted while he took her in, his gaze lowering down to her mouth before returning to her eyes again.
“I only asked because you were walking him, you menace,” he murmured, his nose barely brushing against hers. Kate shivered. “You can’t believe that everybody who walks up to a corgi has innocent intentions, sweetheart, nor should you believe all corgi owners won’t think twice about asking you out.”
Sliding her hands over his shirt, Kate hummed. “So, you didn’t have innocent intentions, then?” she asked with a tilt of her head, her arms wrapping around his neck and tugging him closer. Anthony smirked, a low chuckle rumbling from his chest.
“Not even one,” he whispered, his lips impossibly close to hers. Kate’s eyes fluttered closed.
“Poor Newton will be heartbroken,” she sighed softly, her fingers playing with the curls at the nape of Anthony’s neck. “He really thought you liked him.”
“Oh, I do,” Anthony admitted, his nose brushing against her cheek as he inhaled. “I like that he adores you just as much as I do.” His lips ghosted over her cheek and over her jaw. “I like him because he makes you happy.”
He kissed her brow, her chin, the tip of her nose, both of his arms crushing her against him, and Kate sighed contentedly.
“I like that fat corgi because he’s yours, Kate,” Anthony murmured, giving her hip a gentle squeeze. “I like him because he gave me a reason to meet you.” And then he captured her lips with his in a bruising kiss, swallowing any further arguments.
They broke apart moments later when a whistle sounded in the distance. Faces burning brighter than the evening sun, Kate rushed to get in the car and started up the car again, Anthony sliding into the passenger seat beside her.
They started the quiet drive home, Anthony’s large hand resting on her knee. Looking up into the rearview mirror, Kate spied her beloved corgi, now snoozing on the backseat and smiled to herself.
She loved Newton, her perfect little corgi, and she had to thank him, too; without his aid, Kate probably wouldn’t have met the man she now called her husband.

Knowing Your Worth by WaterlilyRose - @waterlilyrose
Kate decides she needs to forget about Anthony Bridgerton.
It hasn't happened. It will never happen. And Kate needs to stop dreaming it will happen because she can never let it happen anyway.
Pity that Anthony is not good at taking hints..
I loved this fic so much!! Exes to lovers is always so fun to read when it's done well and one of my favourite authors writes this so well! So many heartwrenching and hilarious moments with these two idiots (including a tantrum over perfume) with a great ending.

Hi! I just saw your post about new AU - everybody talks (too much) so of course I want to know more about it!
Ohhh, hello! I'd forgotten I posted about it lol
It's a Canon Divergent thing about gossip and misunderstandings. I made a moldboard and it's about 7K so far.
Tumblr media
Summary: Anthony could not get his mind off of the Mystery Rider from the park. The moment he met Miss Kate Sharma, he knew he had to make her his Viscountess, his plans for the season and previous nonsensical views of love be damned. And he's quite lucky she enjoys his attention.
After a couple of calls to Danbury House, he is quite assuredly courting Miss Kate Sharma. He is aware of it, Kate is aware of it and her sister, Miss Edwina, is not only aware of it but seems quite excited about the whole thing.
Unfortunately, the Ton is not quite so perceptive.
Anthony and Kate are courting and quickly falling for each other. Edwina is encouraging it and is absolutely delighted to see someone recognizing her sister as the amazing woman she is.
Everybody else... Well, they know Anthony's courting one of the Sharma ladies... They just think it's the wrong one.
It's all a big comedy of errors, really.

hate to say I told you so by @kybee1497 & @itsthebooks
A good old fashioned game of Truth or Dare mixed with Seven Minutes in Heaven brings Kate Sharma and Anthony Bridgerton a lot closer to each other than they ever wanted to be.

I Thought I Was So Smart
I Thought I Was So Smart - a Kanthony Oneshot
As Lady Danbury’s carriage approaches Aubrey Hall for the second time that Season, Kate finds herself overcome with nerves once again, albeit for different reasons. This time, she can name those same feelings which had plagued her in the spring, but they are also the source of her present anguish. After tomorrow, she will no longer be a Sharma, but a Bridgerton. She will be giving up her name, her family, her homeland, for Anthony. Of course, she is beyond happy to marry Anthony, yet marrying Lord Bridgerton means consigning herself to London Society for the rest of her life. When she’d first arrived in England a few months prior, it was with the understanding that her stay would be temporary. Once Edwina found a husband to love, and Mary’s security was guaranteed, Kate would return to India - to its familiar sights, languages, and chai. She had prepared for every contingency, but Kate never imagined she would be the one to fall in love. The journey had been winding, and at times acutely painful, but once Anthony had finally entrusted her with his heart, she had realized India was no longer home; it was him.
I published a fic? Who am I? You can read it on AO3. Shoutout to the lovely @stilesssolo for being the best cheerleader ever

Prime Minister Kate Sharma and Downing Street Aide Anthony Bridgerton in ‘tis the damn season, write this down by Moomin_94 (newtonsheffield)
“This is Anthony, he’s your office aide.”
The man, Anthony apparently, smiled, offering his hand to her, “Lovely to meet you, Kate.” Everyone else seemed to realise his mistake before Kate did, and Anthony’s eyes widened in surprise, “Prime Minister! Oh God, Madam Prime Minister!”
“It’s fine.” Kate said, taking his hand and trying not to react to the jolt that shot through her as their hands met, “Truth be told I’m not quite used to it either.”
“Still I’m… so sorry.” He said quickly, “I… fuck, I bothered Sophie to get this job for months and now I’ve… And now I’ve sworn in front of you as well.”
“For god’s sake, Anthony.” Sophie hissed, “Stop swearing at the Prime Minister.”
“It’s fine.” Kate chuckled, “It’s honestly fine. Probably shouldn’t do it again though.”
“Right, yes, no.” Anthony said, his free hand twitching nervously towards his hair, “I promise, it won’t happen again.”
Anthony squeezed her hand once more, “Well, it was lovely to meet you, Prime Minister.”
Kate snatched her hand back as her stomach swooped uncomformably again and stepped back, “Right, yes. You as well… Anthony.”

Coming soon: A Weary Memory prequel
Tumblr media
“I'm Anthony.”
“Anthony?” she asked, with a hard “th.”
He shook his head.
“Anthony,” he enunciated. “With a ‘ta.’“
The way Anthony exaggerated the consonant sound drew Kate's attention to his mouth and the way his tongue peeked out just a little from between his teeth. I wonder if that's a move. He has lines, so surely he also has moves. I bet that “with a ‘ta'” nonsense is the only reason he pronounces it that way. 
Kate realised too late her gaze was lingering on his mouth, looking up only once Anthony started smirking. And I totally fell for it, damn him.  
Anthony with a “ta” put a hand on the wall behind Kate, and his forearm brushed against her shoulder as he leaned forward. “Would you like me to demonstrate again? Up close this time?”
Kate rolled her eyes. Definitely a move. “No, thanks. I'm a quick study, Anthony.” She noted it must work both ways, judging by how Anthony's eyes darted down to her lips. “Sounds quite posh, pronounced the proper way. Suits you.”
“Why doesn't that sound like a compliment?”
Kate tilted her head to one side, and Anthony seemed to reflexively tilt his head the same way as his eyes stayed trained on hers. “Perhaps because it isn't.”

Made to Be - Chapter 10: Surrounded by Memories
Summary:
Returning to Aubrey Hall, Kate finds something that had been hidden long ago when the pain of her father's death was still quite fresh...
A/N: Thank you all for being so patient! Chapter 10 for Mad to Be is here, and it seems I threw in some surprise angst. It's light, but I think it was a necessary moment to showcase Kate's relationship with Edwina and Mary.
Thank you for waiting and enjoy! Read the fic HERE:

A Promise Made In Haste by @waterlilyrose
Tumblr Prompt: An AU where Anthony actually goes through with marrying Edwina and Kate actually goes back to India. And Anthony and Edwina (after maybe a year or so into their marriage--which is going miserably by the way) go to visit her in India.
One of my favourite fics - full of angst, fluff, family forgiving. It also does not demonise Edwina, Mary or Violet - a trend in this fandom that I hate - and the author writes Kate and Anthony beautifully.
