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.

The thing about no war jeytiri is that relationship is a fucking warzone all on its own. The nerf gun battle of 2018 will go down in history as one of history's most brutal battles. The water balloon wars of 2020 contained the most betrayal of any war in recent memory, because Neytiri talked Lo'ak into putting a ballon down the back of Jake's shirt.
Even not modern and on Pandora, Mo'at and Tsu'tey are just trying to lead a normal life with a normal clan and Jake's like "bet I can gather more herbs faster than you, Neytiri." And she's like "Jake, that's so incredibly childish-" *trips him for a head start*

I want the backstories to all of these weddings
I would love to read about amanda and eloise going dress shopping
Okay so the modern Bridgerton Brides backstory would have been told from the perspective of Genevieve (Ginny Delacroix) who is the Bridgertons jack of all trades wedding planner.
She's organanized all the Bridgerton weddings except Francesca's 2nd and Lucy's 1st. But she still keeps the Dress pictures in her portfolio for future reference.
And I just had this idea of Mme Delacroix just going over her best work and adding little notes on what the bride was like, how the groom proposed and whatever she thought was interesting about the dress. So the story would have been in 3rd person with a very unreliable narrator. Because Ginny Delacroix knows things but she doesn't know everything that happened.
Simon and Daphne: they supposedly were engaged for a long time, Hollywood director x Hollywood starlet kind of romance, it wasn't until Ginny was called to organize the wedding of the century in like a week, that she found out that Saphne was actually a publicity stunt and now they had to get married because Simon's investors were suspecting him of running a long con to get his hands on the movie deals he wanted and give the starring roles to Daphne. Delacroix &Co was given free reign on the budget and to this day it's been the most extravagant affair she's organized for the Bridgertons.
Anthony and Kate: bitter Buisness rivals, Anthony crossed the line by chatting up Kate's sister in a club and Kate made it her mission to block all of his major deals for the next business quarter. Nobody knows what was happening behind the scenes, Ginny always suspected they were banging because come on, those kind of flaming looks they gave each other at the Saphne wedding. But anyway flash forward a few months later, Ginny gets called in the middle of the night to plan a wedding for next week, because all the news trending on Twitter had pictures of the award ceremony in which the paparazzi caught Anthony with his hands on Kate's boobs. Ginny knows that in reality Kate's dress had a bra malfunction and Anthony's first instinct was to cover up her boobs with his hands before she could flash the whole internet. But he claims he was proposing to her in a very intimate way and is now suing the press for invasion of privacy. There was a bee involved in that whole mess, but Ginny never got the whole story. So in the end for the sake of saving face with Kate's family they got married in a wedding that was a mix of Indian rituals and British marriage traditions
Benedict and Sophie: Ginny actually gave them a discount for this one, because Sophie is her friend. Benedict apparently got injured in the racetrack one day and Sophie was hired as his live in doctor. Turns out they had history together, because she had a one night stand with him, back when Benedict was in college and then just never called him. They had some sort of whrilwind romance where Sophie refused to sleep with him, because she felt he really didn't care about her as a person and everyone in the comment section of his Instagram thought that she was holding out for a ring because he's rich. So when Benedict resigned Bridgerton industries to follow his dreams of being a painter it came as a surprise that Sophie was fully okay with being the main breadwinner while he got his feet off the ground. They had a very simple wedding on the beach and Sophie refused to let Anthony fund any of it. Benedict too, paid out of his own earnings, not his family money. And yes, she was indeed waiting to be cleared from charges after a wrongful arrest when Benedict proposed. Nobody has let him live it down yet
Colin and Penelope: long story short Penelope and Colin used to be friends, but Pen realized she was being taken for granted and took a break from hanging out with Colin, which in turn made Colin needy and woke him up to the fact that he couldn't live without her. okay so maybe it's a little harsh to say Penelope got proposed to by a stalker, but that's because Ginny is still mad at Colin for literally tracking down Penelope's wreabouts using Ginny's Instagram posts, since back then, Ginny was in France photographing Penelope for a new ad campaign that was going to be in Delacroix &Co website. And then to add insult to injury just when Ginny thought she'd have 3 months to plan the wedding between her long time friend and the guy said friend had a crush on since forever. Violet Bridgerton calls and asks for the wedding to be ready in 3 weeks because Pen is pregnant... EXCUSE ME! Ginny knows for a fact that Penelope has an arm implant. Colin said whaaat?. Ginny's revenge was that see trough, sexy, wedding dress, the wedding planner wanted to make sure that Penelope's something blue would be Colin's balls. And Portia's outrage was only a bonus
Eloise and Phillip: Ginny really has very few details on this one, Eloise never wanted to have a wedding, never even wanted to get married. But she had to download a dating app for an investigation piece at her feminist magazine and the first guy she met was a Cambridge professor who agreed with everything she said, and they hit it off or so they claim. Ginny was under the impression that Eloise was simply taking advantage of the guy's house in central London since Phillip let her crash there on the weekends without paying for a hotel. But no it turned out that Eloise did like him and she liked his children too. Whatever happened with Phillip and the twins inspired Eloise to go more into activism that focused on domestic abusers. Honestly Eloise only agreed to get married for legal reasons (like being allowed in a hospital if they were sick) and because she felt that Phillip and the kids didn't have enough positive memories in their lives and it would be a shame to rob them of a family moment like a wedding, even a barely there wedding. No matter how much she does still think marriage is a piece of paper. One day Eloise took Amanda to the mall, showed her around the boutiques and told the kid to pick any dress she wanted her new step mom to wear. Phillip let Oliver pick his tux. Everything was off the rack and barely cost much, the rest of the Bridgertons ended up meeting Phillip and the twins the weekend before the wedding. When Eloise remembered to contact Ginny about organizing a quick after-party to soothe her family's anger. She's so independent honestly forgot to tell them she was dating someone, honest. Now, everytime anyone forgets to tell her something, they remind her that she forgot to tell her them she was even getting married
Francesca and John: this wedding is the crown jewel of Ginny Delacroix wedding planning work. Everything was perfect, years in the making, no shenanigans, Violet was so proud! Anthony was so proud! Ginny herself was so proud! St Paul himself would have been proud... aaaand the groom died 2 years later. Yeah not something Francesca likes to talk about
Francesca and Michael: the wedding that made Ginny Delacroix blacklist a Bridgerton! How could they do this to her. Not only did Francesca get married in Vegas wearing a dress that was basically a mini dress with a white tablecloth tied to the hips. But she married the playboy billionaire Rock Star cousin of her deceased husband. Francesca really said go big or go home, went from the cute, interior designer wife of a Scottish lawyer to the ball busting manager wife of a Rock Star. Ginny knows there's a story there! She just knows Michael did some sort of voodoo on Francesca during that trip to Vegas. But she's never managed to pin them down long enough to confirm her theories
Lucy and Ricky: the slimy stingy toad of a man that is Lucy's uncle, planned that wedding, and it shows because it was ugly as hell. Gregory conned Ginny into attending as his plus one and you could tell Don Abernathy was embezzling his niece money by the cheap way the wedding was set up. Ricky Haselby had more chemistry with his groomsman and at one point when the cops showed up to arrest Lucy's uncle and Rick's father, the bride actually took a knife from the buffet table and slashed her dress to make it shorter and run for her life. Good for her! Good for her!!
Gregory and Lucy: Beautiful mess, Ginny pulled every string she could to give them a wedding worth talking about within days of Gregory's dramatic kidnapping proposal. Good for her for wearing pants too! How it happened? Ginny Delacroix doesn't have details either. Something something about Lucy being Gregory's wingman with Hermione and ending up seduced herself. Ginny doesn't care, what she cares about is that Lucy's uncle went to jail ! That was incredible entertainment! Also, she totally gave Haselby and his groomsman her card when Gregory and Lucy were having their first dance
Hyacinth and Gareth: The official story is that Hyacinth and Gareth met as children in his grandmothers Academy and then as adults they reconnected and he proposed in a very normal way, with a flash mob and a boom box, you know, if Hyacinth broadcasting her entire relationship in TikTok is considered normal. I think Hyacinth got so much sponsorship deals just to turn her wedding into a event for her followers that it didn't even matter that Gareth was indeed pretty much flat broke at the time because his father disowned him for chosing Hyacinth over the St Clair fortune and demanded he breakup with her. He proposed instead. She wanted to elope but her mom wanted her to have a nice wedding and so did grandma Danbury so Hyacinth did the next best thing and turn her wedding into profit 🤩🤩🤩. Ginny was impressed by how many internet strangers were sending Hyacinth and Gareth money to film her wedding after she told all her followers that her wedding was going to be a private affair. Well joke is on St Clair senior because the bank Hyacinth's TikToks made with Gareth, actually covered all of the wedding expenses. And After that they just decided to become full time content creators. Last Ginny heard of Hyacinth and Gareth they had a great TikTok and YouTube variety channel
And that's more or less the backstory of this au

KATE BRIDGERTON (née Sharma) | mama + her minis
Every baby is different; each with their own personality. Kate knows this. She's had three of them previously. It’s just that her most recent one is on another level. The youngest Bridgerton is hands down the fussiest of all their children. Content to be held against her amma’s hip at all the times that even Anthony feels a bit jealous. And though she loves having a baby in the household again, Kate can barely catch a break. Luckily, big sister is turning out to be quite the baby charmer. “Charlie, sweetheart? I’ve got to use the loo. Do me a favour and entertain your sister for a few minutes, yeah?” The little girl nods. Got it, mum! And Kate steals away leaving a quick kiss to her daughter’s temple. “My saviour. Thank you, lovey! Be back in a mo’.”

La Semi-Dolce Vita by caciopepebowl
Fandom: Bridgerton
Kate Sharma is a talented, London-based sous chef who spends one week per year working as a private chef on Lake Como. Anthony Bridgerton is a highly regimented financier on holiday with his family in Como, and he's hired Kate to cook for them. She lives to eat. He eats to live—or at least he used to.
Kate Sharma x Anthony Bridgerton, 50-100k words, Modern Setting, Fluff and Smut
Ongoing as of 2023 - 10 - 15
Thoughts: Kate would be such a good chef??? One thing I love in Kanthony fics is how somehow Anthony always manages to find a way to put his foot in his mouth. Here he does it within five minutes of meeting Kate? Amazing.

Chapter 13. Kindness is key.
Tumblr media
In the following two hours or so, his attention keeps being snatched by Kate’s expressions, little scoffs, gasps, eyerolls, and tilts of her head. Which means that for those two hours, Anthony has held himself back from trying to read along over her shoulder. Stopping himself from asking her what made her react that way. Resisting the urge to taunt her book choice, despite her lecture on picking up the most popular young adult book. In an attempt to distract himself, Anthony had even purchased an internet connection in order to read his emails or some documents. It was futile. In the reflection of his laptop screen, he could see even more of Kate’s responses. He felt more and more restless the longer he tried to hold himself back from asking her, or observing her openly. This was pathetic. He was curious about her, sure. But his curiosity was now intensified due to their close proximity, being seated next to each other on a budget airline.
OR
In which Kate and Anthony reflect on their confrontation whilst trying to catch their plane and arrive safely (without biting each other's head off) at their honeymoon.

How do you think Modern day Bridgerton brothers and the spouses of the Bridgerton would each react to their wife telling them their water broke/the baby is coming/their going into labor? I think they'd be varied.
Anthony: oh he panics, paces, and pulls his hair out, this man cannot keep his cool he starts throwing around money like there's no tomorrow has a team of doctors on retainer anytime Kate has a contraction he feels her pain and shouts of people to make her stop hurting he's kicked out of the delivery room at least five times and he keeps coming back in still bonus points for Anthony unlike Colin he doesn't need to be sedated while his wife is giving birth Anthony is there all the way panicked as hell but he's is there all right 8/10
Benedict: acts like the miracle of birth is the best thing that could ever happen to him. Films the whole thing, plays Vivaldi for Sophie on his phone to time contractions, he's super happy that her water broke Sophie is screaming in pain with contractions and Benedict is giving her Gatorade, drying up her sweat massaging her feet, all while he is smiling because he is going to be a dad. Telling her all sort of cringy peotic words about how beautiful she is. his wife looking like she hates him the whole time for how happy he looks and has bitten his hand a couple of times in between contractions. 7/10
Colin: oh yeah this one screams when Penelope tells him her water broke has no idea what he's doing did read the books did not understand the books no he's running like a headless chicken around the house while penelope, quietly counts her contractions and times them because her husband seem to have forgotten the number of the taxi they hired to take her to the hospital. Colin is too busy running around panicked. This man actually had to be sedated with his wife was giving birth because he kept screaming at the hospital staff to just make her pain stop. He couldn't stand knowing that Penelope was suffering and was ready to punch someone for trying to drag him out of the hospital room until the baby was out. 5/10
Phillip: boy scout, the moment she tells him that her water broke he reacts with complete calm, since Eloise is panicked already for both of them combined. he's memorized all the routes to the hospital read all the books probably went to a midwifery seminar while his wife was in her last trimester. this man is the height of zen for the moments his first child with Eloise comes into this world. His job is to make sure that everything is under control so that every time his wife so much as blinks with anxiety. He can reassure her that absolutely nothing it's wrong. (Even if he absolutely IS panicking about it on the inside) It is very possible that Philip has helped deliver at least one of Benedict's children before this. 10/10
Simon: is it wrong for me to think that Simon would be the most normal out of all of the future dads. Daphne has wanted a baby for so long that she has Simon well trained for the moment she starts feeling contractions and her water breaks probably made her husband run a couple of rehearsal runs just so he could get it right. So I think Simon would be the one husband who has his grit together, he doesn't panic, he doesn't scream he just calls the hospital ahead of time, takes his wife to the hospital all while stoicaly being her rock. Because this is the moment fatherhood begins and he's got this!! Daphne believes in him, he's not going to let her down. He's going to be a better father than his dad, starting from the moment Daphne water broke and all the way till this baby is grown up . 10/10
Michael: okay so seriously this one also panics but he tries to distract Francesca by flirting with her all the way ever since she began labor. His love language is words of affirmation but he takes it up a notch when his wife is pregnant. Probably traumatized a couple of nurses and doctors with the filthy things he was saying to Francesca while she was having contractions but hey it served to make her laugh and it served to get her to relax a little bit so could I see you Michael whatever you're doing it's working 7/10
Gareth: traumatized by Hyacinth herself because her idea of a bedtime story is to read him the most traumatizing part of the baby books and all the ways things could end badly. Just to see Garrett lose it. It backfires on her when she's actually in labor because her husband faints in the delivery room. Also knowing Hyacinth she is probably laughing trough the pain at the sight of hospital staff dragging her unconscious husband out of the delivery room 5/10
Gregory: the first thing this one does is call his whole family to give them the great news. probably a certified pediatrician. He most likely went to med school because with all the kids in his family, he figured he might as well make a career out of it. Top notch insurance, he's delivering his own child, he did a second internship In obstetrics just for this moment. For bedside manner? He's your man. Lucy has the best of the best room, best care, and as the baby of the family Gregory has to endure every single person in his family trying to give him advice while he tries to film the birth. so by the time the baby has actually been delivered Gregory is ready to kill everyone and tell them that he can handle this, because he's a doctor. His family obviously doesn't believe him 20/10
