TVDU Final Words — Elena Gilbert's Parental Figures

since @sevensistersofsussex has brought the klena bridgerton au to my attention and i have read a victorian au fic of spuffy just a few days ago i decided to pick up book 1 of bridgerton to get back into the tone, you know?

guess what.

reading the book and rewatching s1 made me think about my bridgerton fic. so now i am in the process of rewriting the whole. fic. yes. i am going to rewrite it. also, kol is going to be here (officially and actively!) which i have only @qvnthesia to thank. lmao.

so here's a snippet of the prologue.

“I should like to marry—” John sputtered.

“—Nikolai.” and nearly choked in his cup of tea.

“No!” The Lord Gilbert contested.

Elena frowned at his fierce response. “Whyever not?”

He sighed wearily. “My dearest you are still young to be thinking about marriage. Besides, do you like him enough to marry him?”

Johnathan worried she appeared to contemplate his concern for a few scant seconds. “Yes.”

Isobel, who was passing by her husband’s study, had heard of the conversation. She stopped to listen through the open door and was now trying her hardest to contain her bubbling laughter.

“Elena,” He kneeled and tried another strategy. “What has Nikolai said about… your impending nuptials?”

She cocked her head at the strange words but had associated them instead with marriage. “That you would not approve.”

He puffed out a relieved sigh.

“But I told him I could convince you.”

Isobel chose that moment to rescue her husband.

She knocked twice and did not bother waiting for John’s response. “I have been looking all over for you, young lady.” She admonished then winked at her husband.

He mouthed, “Thank you,” over Elena’s shoulder.
