Anthony + asking Kate to dance.

Season 2 | Season 3

#it’s like she knows Anthony’s going to use this chance to be a cheeky boy and cop a feel tbh #they’ve played this game before

“But something in her feels like that 19 year old girl who’d thought Anthony had been asking her out only to show up at his flat with a party in full swing.”

WOAH WOAH WOAH

👀👀

I said what I said

[newtonsheffield]

Imagine Author Anthony going back to their university to give a talk about creative writing as a career. He's having to fend off quite a few students expressing more than just a passing interest in his career... (I keep picturing that scene from Indiana Jones RotLA where the student has written 'LOVE YOU' on her eyelids for him to read every time she blinks).

Anthony being a guest professor at Oxford and he and Kate take it as an opportunity to visit all the places they loved as students. Like the pub where they fell in love and the walk they used to make back to his flat with a cigarette between his fingers that she’d always stamp out immediately.

“Smoking’s not sexy, Anthony. You can’t die on me, who would I eviscerate then?”

They love sitting on the grass together where he first caught that frisbee.

Kate also loves sitting at the back of the theatre while Anthony talks passionately about writing, his arms waving around like a madman.

She’d love it a little more if there weren’t always a gaggle of girls following Anthony around with copies of the book he wrote for her. Batting their eyelashes at him when they ask him to sign it.

“I just love you.”

“You’re much cuter in real life than you are in your author’s photo.”

Kate wants to snatch Anthony away from them and never return.

“Thanks so much.” Anthony always smiles politely, signing his name then picking Kate’s hand up almost immediately.

It’s stupid to feel jealous, when she knows he’s practically only ever had eyes for her. But something in her feels like that 19 year old girl who’d thought Anthony had been asking her out only to show up at his flat with a party in full swing.

“Done with your adoring fans?”

Anthony raised his eyebrows, “That depends. Are you an adoring fan today?”

“Oh always.”

Mollyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!

This man is literally too handsome. He’s so handsome it should be illegal actually, I feel. But also this is giving immaculate Author Anthony vibes and the way I love that for Kate is something else entirely. He might be the boy who once nearly hit her with a frisbee but now he’s a tweed jacket wearing man with a scruff and his hair greying at the temples even at 28 and she is… feeling some kind of fucking way about how handsome her best friend is.

Getting myself pumped to work my usual day off like

[newtonsheffield]

Molly, this 😂😂😂

Anthony’s thoughts: “Oh my god, I can’t believe I agreed to come out tonight. I could have been at home with my wife! I could have had a cup of herbal tea while she finished writing a letter to her mother. We could have taken Newton for a walk together! But no! I’m being dragged to my club away from MY WIFE! Maybe if I mention Kate enough they’ll start booing me and I’ll get to leave early before all the gamblers enter. I’ll just make sure my label is straight IF LOST PLEASE RETURN TO KATE VISCOUNTESS BRIDGERTON. DO NOT FEED DAIRY IT HURTS HIS TUMMY.

Perfect. They’ll send me home any minute now.”

They’d shared a two minute conversation during which she’d managed to call him stupid a number of different times in an exciting variety of ways. And still, he’d found himself sat behind the typewriter (...) as he wrote about anything. But kindly it wasn’t about anything. Mostly it was about her, in some way or another. Or rather, the feeling of her.

THIS. This is so in line with the canon. I immediately thought of the scene during the conservatory ball. Kate gives her monologue, tearing Anthony to pieces and he is completely smitten with her from the get-go.

I bet he still has the initial pages written way back then. Maybe they even made it to Snow Filled Paper? But the originals are surely hidden in his desk: yellowed, crumpled and tattered, since Anthony has been rereading them all over again.

A version of some of them are in Snow Filled Paper but most of them are tucked away in Anthony’s desk drawer, folded and unfolded and tearing at the edges.

Anthony takes them out and reads them from time to time and Kate has no idea they even exist until they’re nearly two months into their relationship and she’s looking for something else in his desk. She finds them in an old tin from the Jane Austen Museum and it makes her chuckle as she opens it. It’s such an Anthony thing to own, and she can’t resist knowing what’s inside.

There’s a lot of things in there from there uni days actually, there’s a coaster with the mark of a beer bottle from the pub they used to go to with their friends and there’s a daisy chain that’s been pressed into a notebook that has Anthony’s thoughts in. She chuckled as she read

Grow moustache? Might look cultured and distinguished? Set me apart from D.

Her brow furrowed as she looked at the D printed there, trying to remember who that might have been. She moved on, unfolding one of the sheets of paper at the back and her heart stuttered in her chest.

It was about her, she was sure it was. She remembered the day he’d written about, when they’d met in the library to work on their assignment and her breath caught at the way he described it.

“Are you snooping?”

She dropped the paper in surprise looking up to see Anthony leaking against the doorway, sipping a cup of tea.

“Maybe a little?”

She held up the pages, “Did you really feel this way about me?”

Anthony groaned, leaning against the edge of the desk, “please don’t read that. I was still finding my style.”

“I like it.” She said gently, pressing her lips to his. “It’s very sweet.”

“I… Please don’t read too far. I think in that one I used the phrase Aphrodite would be a poor muse compared with her.”

Kate bit back a laugh, “I’m obsessed with this.”

“Is there anything I can do to convince you not to read it?” Anthony wiggled his eyebrows, “I’d be willing to show you just how close you are to Aphrodite.”

Kate hummed, tapping her finisher on her chin. “Tell me who D is? I don’t remember you being friends with a D in uni. But you fucking hate him.”

Anthony raised his eyebrows, “You don’t know a D from first year?”

It dawned on her and her mouth fell open with a gasp, “Oh you wanted to grow a moustache to set you apart from Dan?!”

He flushed, “He had a motorbike and I was jealous! He was dating my dream girl.”

“That’s very sweet.”

Anthony hummed, leaning into her, “Would the moustache have worked?”

Kate grimaced, “It would have set this timeline back at least 5 years. Now I might be into it.”

“Interesting.”

I am Actually excited at the prospect of using my new mower today. Very exciting stuff.

[newtonsheffield]

Omg I can totally see Kate getting a fidget ring to wear for Anthony to play with 🥹

https://x.com/brokebackboys/status/1783011823845097597?s=46

Mile High Kate definitely would. And can you imagine when he looks down and realizes the ring on her thumb is spinning where he normally rubs circles against her skin while they’re standing in line at a coffee shop.

“Ant, what do you want, Babe?”

Anthony startled at the sound of his name, Kate and the Barista both looking expectantly at him. “I um…” he spun the ring on her thumb a few more times. “Just my regular, it’s not a new things day.”

Kate finished ordering and kissed him quickly before she tugged him to the side to wait still not saying anything about the ring on her hand. Anthony swallowed.

“You have a ring.”

Kate chuckled, leaning against the wall, “Not yet, I’m waiting for him to propose.” She gave him a wink and Anthony smiled despite himself.

“I meant on your thumb.”

Kate shrugged, “I read that they were really good for anxiety, and I know that you’re not a jewellery kind of guy so I got one for me to wear.”

Months ago, when they’d first started all of this it might have made him embarrassed, or angry, or anything in between. Mortified that she’d noticed but her eyes were so gentle when they looked at him. Soft and understanding and he knew this was just another way Kate was telling him she loved him.

“Do you not like?”

Anthony swallowed the lump in his throat, is thumb absentmindedly spinning the circle on her finger. “I um… I like it. I love you obviously as well.”

She smiled at him, leaning forward to press their lips together gently, “Yeah, I love you obviously too.”

MOLLY. I’m screaming. Which Anthony is this. No shirt. The velvet. 🫠

I think it’s Lavender Haze Anthony, Viscount Daddy. He’s in his comfortable in his skin era now that he’s with Kate and their his and hers Aston Martins and a little couch for her dog in the living room.

He’s living his best life. He’s thriving.

Ok I’m a sap but poor baby uni student Anthony. That love at first sight or the literal fall have got him actually loco already. Iconic. I am here yet again begging for a snippet a crumb of happier times in these two’s future to sustain us through these angsty times. Peace and gratitude as per ✌🏼

Oh boy, imagine how excited Anthony would be to share the story of how they met with their children though.

He’d sit with Neddy on his chest, flat out on the sofa, nose to nose with his three week old son.

“Neddy boy, let Papa tell you a story. It’s the greatest love story that was ever told.”

“If it’s Wuthering Heights, I’ll scream.” Kate said from the floor beside him, watching them carefully as she folded washing.

Anthony scoffed, “Heathcliff and Cathy have absolutely nothing on us, thank you. Now, When Papa was young and virile-”

“Don’t say virile to our son”

“Me being virile is how he came to be. It’s pertinent.” Anthony plotted on, “Let me tell my story please, I’m an award winning author. I know how to tell a story.”

“Oh, by all means, proceed then master wordsmith.” Kate chuckled, running her hand over Neddy’s hair gently.

“Thank you for calling me a master wordsmith.” Anthony said quickly, kissing Neddy’s forehead before he continued. “When Papa was young, he was playing a game with Uncle Simon, he looked very cool doing it by the way. And while he was playing this game he ran into the prettiest girl you’ve ever seen in your life.”

“You trampled her is what you did.”

“There was minor trampling, Neddy, it’s true.” Anthony allowed, “And I fell in love with Amma right away but she didn’t care for poor old Papa. She thought he was an idiot, a fool, a buffoon.”

“I don’t think buffoon is fair, I had narrowly escaped with my life.”

“Semantics. Anyway, Papa waited and waited and they became best friends and finally Papa wrote a book to tell Mummy how much he loved her and finally she fell in love with him too.”

“I loved you much sooner than that.” Kate scoffed, Kissing Anthony’s cheek. “You know that.”

Anthony squinted one eye at her, “How soon would you say?”

Kate scrunched her face up at her husband, “We’ve had this conversation before, you really want me to tell you?”

“I always love to hear how irresistible I was to you.”

She flicked the end of his nose playfully, “I think I started falling in love with you that first night at that seedy pub not far from my dorm. You had written me a short story, because I made that crack about you being a bad writer and I… Well, I’m glad I was wrong. It was beautiful, and… you… had no reason to write that for me. You had no reason to have it in your bag that day and you slid it under my glass when I was at the bar and… I never would have said it at the time but I’m glad you ran into me that day. I’m glad I met you. Almost every thing good I have in my life is because of you and I love you.”

Anthony swallowed the lump in his throat. “We did make a great baby. I don’t think it’s any exaggeration to say he’s a genius.”

“Clearly not.”
