Summary
Kate reaches for her reticule, withdrawing a small leather-bound notebook. "I have compiled a list of my own"
“A list of gentlemen?” Lady Danbury's voice climbs an octave
“Of requirements. For a husband, that is”.
“And what, pray, are the 'requirements' you seek in this hypothetical husband?”
Kate looks at the notebook in her hands.
“Tolerable. Dutiful. Decent manners. Steady enough income to support a small household. No gambling debts or illegitimate children. Not a brute in private. And ideally,” she says, lifting her eyes to meet Lady Danbury’s, “he must have the ability to hold a conversation without being a complete bore”. She finishes. At Lady Danbury’s silence, Kate shifts once more in her seat. Then adds: “That last part is not so much a requirement, but a preference.”
_____________________________
When The Sheffields withdraw their offer to provide Edwina’s dowry, Kate realizes she has no other option but to enter the marriage mart. For purely practical reasons.

Summary
Where she once thought she had carefully excised the parts of her that had been touched by Anthony Bridgerton, he finds a way to seep back into her bloodstream. It is so typical of them, she thinks. How could it have been any other way?

Summary
Kate has always been the one to provide for her family. When Edwina excitedly tells her Bagwell wants to offer for her, Kate knows it's up to her to marry well and secure her family's future.
Anthony has always been clear that he wants a loveless marriage. So when Kate has an intriguing proposition for him, he doesn't immediately discount it.
But it's not enough to get a special licence or run to Scotland. They will have to convince the entire ton, not to mention their families, that they are in love... and somehow not fall in love for real.
//Chapter 16 is now up! After that this fic will be on hiatus until October//

Summary
“You could stay over? Get you across in a couple days. Be safer that way.”
June’s eyes searched him. As much as he tried to conceal his desperation, he knew she saw right through it all.
“Yeah, alright,” she agreed softly.
He smiled faintly at her, the rest of the world melting away. It’d been so long since they’d spent a night together. It was like a dream come true.
Nick, June, and Moira spend some time together in Nick's house in New Bethlehem, finding a new way to proceed in the long process of bringing Gilead to its knees. A 6x06/6x07 fix-it fic.
