SAVE THE DATE! Gregory and Lucy invite you to their 4th Annual Shipweek, November 30, 2025 to December 6th, 2025.

Anthony/Kate - Anthony loves whispering naughty things in Kate's ear. He's somehow always surprised (and turned on) when she reciprocates.

Benedict/Sophie - Lots of breathy little endearments. ("I love you," "you're so beautiful," "yes, Benedict," "my Sophie," etc)

Colin/Penelope - Sex for them is full of chatting and giggling. They tease each other, talk about their days, gossip, they're very playful.

Daphne/Simon - Mostly no. They get caught up in how horny they are for each other and mostly just breathe heavily.

Eloise/Phillip - One of them will talk, get distracted with an earnest ramble, and the other will have to go, "stop talking and focus on the task at hand."

Francesca/Micheal - Like Anthony and Kate, but instead of being coy, their dirty talk is just straight up filthy.

Gregory/Lucy - Mostly no. With 9 kids in the house they have to keep quiet, plus they get caught up in how in love they are with each other.

Hyacinth/Gareth - Hyacinth has never stopped talking once in her entire life.

Now, imagine the siblings-in-laws having their own group behind their spouse's back to breathe away from their shenanigans and competitiveness, helping each other out to fix whatever mess they committed before any of their soulmate finds out. Kate&Sophie&Penelope&Simon&Philip&Michael&Lucy&Gareth, having each other's back without question against the stubborn nature of their Bridgerton spouse.

1. “It was only a matter of time before he, too, found the woman of his dreams and settled down to be fruitful, multiply, and take on such baffling hobbies as papier-mâché and the collection of nutmeg graters.”

Nutmeg Graters?? I can’t 😂

2. “Where is the scintillating Lord Bridgerton?” he asked. “Oh, somewhere. I don’t know. We’ll find each other at the end of the day, that is all that matters.”

This book is every Kanthony stan’s dream follow-up to TVWLM 😭 I love that we got little glimpses into their marriage to see how they've evolved as a couple and people.

3. “She was without artifice, the sort of girl a man could trust. Rather like his sisters, he supposed, with a keen wit and a sharp sense of humor. Lucy Abernathy would never inspire poetry, but she would make a very fine friend.”

Bahahaha. Did he just friendzone her in his head? 😂

4. “It was nothing. She was nothing. No, that was not fair. She was something. Quite a bit, actually. But not for him.”

Ohhh Gregory! My poor, sweet, innocent, naive Gregory 🤣

5. “Lord Fennsworth took one look at the duo (more at one than the other, and suffice it to say that blood was not thicker than unrequited love), and he murmured, “Friday it is.”

Props to Gregory for being perceptive about someone’s feelings, if not his own 😂

6. “At least she seemed rather more like herself. The world seemed a bit steadier with Lucy Abernathy yipping along like a terrier. He’d felt almost off-balance when she’d been staring morosely at the trees.”

Signals!! He’s missing all of the darn signals. How?? 🙆‍♀️

7. “Auctioning your friend off to the highest bidder. You’ll be well-practiced by the time you have a daughter.” She jumped to her feet, her eyes flashing with anger and indignation. “That is a terrible thing to say. My most important consideration has always been Hermione’s happiness. And if she can be made happy by an earl . . . who happens to be my brother . . .” Oh, brilliant. Now she was going to try to match Hermione with Fennsworth. Well done, Gregory. Well done, indeed.”

Hahaha, Lucy is too nice for her own good. And Gregory just keeps making things worse for himself at every given opportunity 😂

8. “Didn’t you wish for time for yourself?” she asked, softly . . . so softly it was almost a whisper. Slowly, he shook his head. “I did,” he said, sounding as if the words were coming to him at that very moment, as if the thought itself was new and not quite what he had expected. “I did,” he said again, “but now I don’t.”

My heart 🥺 💕

9. “She later told Gregory that he had still not forgiven her for costuming him as Cupid at the Billington fancy dress ball the previous year.”

I will so pissed if I don't get to see Anthony dressed up as Cupid on the show. I simply must see it 🤣

10. “Surely she would not come over an hour late. If nothing else, Lady Lucinda would not have tolerated it. She was clearly a punctual sort. In a good way.As opposed to an insufferable, nagging way. He smiled to himself. She wasn’t like that.”

Omg, someone needs to hit him in the head!!! How is he missing this? 😫

Q&A’s

Is this one or two events?

Instead of hosting two separate events that overlap, we are hosting one event with two parts. This event encompasses the duration of Chinese New Year (Jan 28th-Feb 12) and Black History Month (month of Feb). We are accepting fan creations for both parts of this event from January 28th-February 28th.

What is Black History Month?

Black History Month recognizes and celebrates the achievements and contributions of Black Americans throughout history, highlighting their significant impact on American culture and progress.

What’s the difference between Lunar New Year and Chinese New Year?

“Chinese New Year” specifically refers to how the holiday is celebrated in Lucy’s culture while “Lunar New Year” is a broader term that encompasses the holiday across different Asian cultures.

Any other Questions? Please don’t hesitate to send us a message.

Gregory smiles, something too bright and too knowing and Lucy feels her insides warm. “I hope you don’t mind… You said you wanted to bake earlier but didn’t have sugar… and well,” he says, sheepish, and Lucy feels a pang somewhere in her chest, “I would love to taste your cookies.”

Lucy’s neighbor Gregory comes over to lend some sugar. And some other things.
