hiiii i recently watched kanthony (the so called bridgerton show or whatever) and was wondering if u have any fic recs... 👉👈🤭

okay i litchrally have never compiled a list even tho ive been asked before bc i have read too many to keep them organized. but ill do it. Finally. for YOU.

first. my fav period setting fics <33:

tete a tete by caciopepebowl (14k~) this is REQUIRED reading to ME. its a quick read that explores kate and anthonys roles in their family. with an emphasis on KATE specifically bc of the additional hurdles of being a woman with limited funds. and anthony losing his mind on her behalf while shes breaking his heart by being like "the way i was treated was normal?? you dont know anything" and hes like "what? kate you deserved everything. you deserve ALL the love in the world!!" and shes all ">:( well if i do. you do too." . and hes like "oh. well...no. you see.. bc i suck" and shes like -_-. its really sweeeeeet and lovely <3) and really finally gave me the exploring of kates family issues that THE SHOW DID NOT!!!

the longest betrothal by caciopepebowl. (90k~) my FAVVVVV regency setting fic. its sooo good. its basically a continuation that fills in the gap AFTER they get engaged but BEFORE theyre married. and them trying SO hard to be normal about how in love they are lol. SO funny and sweet. and with IMMACULATE characterization

in vino veritas by wagamiller. (~10k) a one shot about kate going to a ladies society event and coming home drunk to anthony and him being soooo smitten with her. sauuuur cute. ive read this like 4 times <3

for reasons wretched and divine by penny_loaf. (~18k. locked fic. need an account.) basically kate and anthony get stuck in a time loop on that first day edwina is receiving suiters. they both think theyre alone in the loop and its depressing until they realize the other is stuck with them too. they try to break the loop and fail repeatedly. after a while they just give up and start fucking bc theres no consequences so who cares LOL. surprisingly tender and sweet

the harsh light of day by burnerraccount. (~22k. locked) explicit one shot. kate has the idea that they should fuck before they get married so theres less pressure on the wedding night. she decides all this without mentioning it to anthony (LOL). so she shows up at his house the night before their wedding. and his footman is like "theres a woman outside to see you" and he in all his goofy almost-married bliss is like "i dont want to see Any woman but my gorgeous, beautiful, amazing WIFE" and his footman is like "well. you see.. it is your wife. uh fiance" and anthonys like "[voice crack] huh ?". very FUNNY

green in its many hues by burnerraccount. kate and anthony decide they are going to be chaste and proper leading up to their wedding. they suck at it SO bad lol

next. modern AUS my best friends <33:

la semi dolce vita by caciopepebowl (~170k) my FAVVVV modern au of ALL time. kate is a private chef. anthonys family hires her when they go on vacation. hes being so normal about it. i promise. this is one of the best characterizations of kate AND anthony in a modern setting. with an extra emphasis on focusing on kate issues. and not JUST anthonys. which is what makes the dynamic sooo good. 10/10. hot. and i love LOVE <3

close encounters of the acutest kind by caciopepebowl (WIP ~74k. only incomplete fic ill put on this list i PROMMY. bc its by the prev author. and i Looove their writing and its sooo good so far <3) kate and anthony meet for the first time the DAY her dad died which is also the SAME DAY hyacinth is born. theyre both having a panic attack and end up running into the same empty hospital room to have it. are then intrinsically linked forever. as one is. run into each other multiple times over the years. with different feelings each time. and they are so normal (lying) <3. i love them

chosen & cherished by trash4ficsaboutlurv. (~42k) this is so underrated. kate runs a charity organization. anthony is CEO of whatever the fuck. she goes to his company when theyre holding some audition for what charity theyre going to invest in and kate is the last speaker and when its finally her turn he doesnt even pay attention. and shes exhausted and overworked and just oveeeer it All. so she just ends the meeting and tells him to go fuck himself. LOL. genuinely really good. and hot <3

sidelines by ramarro. (~60k) this was THE quintessential kanthony modern AU in 2022. took a far fetched premise and somehow made it soooo good. and hot. and cute. kates an artist who sees a picture of anthony on tinder and thinks he looks obnoxious (lol) but screenshots the photo so she can use it for sketching practice. and then she see him and his grown ass on a date with her BABY sister. and shes like well i was right about him. and lets him know to his face how she feels (LOL). its wild. it slays. read it. theres an explicit follow up to it which also slays

three cities and we never lived here by ramarro. (~25k, ~40k) very different modern au where kate and anthony meet on vacation and are very casual with them both not looking for anything (genuinely for once lol) and then seeing each other multiple times over 2-3 years in different cities and still keeping it casual. but slowly slowly slowlyyyy it doesnt feel as casual as it used to. theres 2 fics in this. the first is kates pov. the second is anthony. both very good.

just go with it by suitsusboth. (~18k) kate when booking a flight sees the potential titles like ms, mrs, dr, and "viscountess" listed as a legit option and has a laugh like whos picking this goofy shit and accidentally clicks it. and then on her flight gets upgraded to first class next to anthony bc they assumed she was his wife. and he tries to be mad about it. but well. hes stupid for her in every universe so lol. funny and sweet

the air i breathe and the bane of my existance by the_loosest_moose. (image fic) these are textfics told through instagram, twitter, article and text message screenshots. with some regular text. would just check them out to gauge how you feel about the storytelling method. very fun reads once you get the hang of it

heirlooms by waterlilyrose. (~12k) modern au where kate gets anthonys ring stuck on her finger for days and has to wait to get it off. he is of course very normal about it

a devils love by irony_rocks. (~57k) this may not be for everyone but kanthony season came out around the same time as the batman (2022) and as someone who was crazy insane about both. this was the MOMENT for me in spring 2022. its a crime mafia type au where kates character is inspired by selina kyle and the pebble lounge where she worked in the batman movie. and well. if youre about that specific combo check it out. if you arent i wouldnt recommend this lmao. its not a batman au

break point (series) by penny_loaf. (multiple. ~25k) like prev this entire series gets kind of dark bc it really delves into the pressure of the world its set in. on TOP of the issues kate and anthony already have. i LOVED it. BUT also i am an ANGST and crazy, complicated characters STAN. which may not be the case for everyone.. but again very GORGEOUS to ME <3 and hot. LOL

take me home by kendal_lynne. (~12k) romcom type explicit one shot where kate makes the mistake of telling anthony her ex couldnt make her come. and hes all like i volunteer as tribute PLEASE PKLEASE PLEASE PICK ME CHOOSE ME PLWASEE etc

we never made a sound by writergirl8. (~4k) spy au that was soooooo good and sexy. i wish it was longer

with elaichi by serendipityinwords (~6k) the two biggest bitches at a dinner party find out they're soulmates. LOL. hilarious dialogue

theres probably more i loved that im not remembering rn and maybe ill update this but for now have fun! yippee <3

I come bearing Sleepover asks!! [Banner Question posts linked in the top pic - can you believe you can put links on pics now???]

I don't think I've heard your MILF Kate and DILF Anthony HCs before so bless us please! Also the second one ehehe I just wanna hear some spicy takes 👀 👀

Look at you, Steve Jobs. Putting links on pics.

I never did share HCs for Kanthony have I? (Other than Anthony living life passively if Kate had died post horse accident)

How would Kanthony be like parents?

Prepping for a bbq as I write this (multitasking queeeeen) so its not that thought out.

Of course, like 90% of the fandom, I believe Anthony would be overprotective of his daughters' but I think Show Anthony would be slightly different. He would still be overprotective but he would value his daughters' opinions and trust them enough to make their own decisions and mistakes.

I like to think Anthony would learn a lot from his S2 mistakes and raise his sons to be true men and not just show and book Anthony's weirdo definition of a "gentleman" (which, surprise surprise is not gentlemanly. We all the the most gentlemanly thing Anthony did was eat Kate out on him mums gazebo.) Post s2, he's realized what his behaviors post Edmunds death, has affected his siblings and also others (The Sharma women). He's more aware of the damage he can cause when he's too linear controlling and selfish with his thoughts and plans. SO I see that changing him as a parent. Show Anthony is more complicated than Book Anthony was but that would also make Show Anthony a better father than Book Anthony.

Kate's already been a mother to Edwina and she sees how that blew up in her face. She would be more cautious and hesitant of how she is as a mother. Kate would probably be more nervous and less sure when the kiddos are slowly becoming more independent. But this Kate is more confident in standing her ground when it comes to herself and voicing what she herself desires. She wouldn't hesitate to take a break or seek out help whether thats from Mary or Violet and Daphne.

Anthony and Kate are a team now. They have each other to fall back on and seek support from. They have both experienced a parents love, their loss, and a parents neglect. They've seen how those three things have affected them well into their adulthoods and how they then subconsciously caused problems for their own loved ones. So I truly believe that Show Kanthony would be better parents than Book Kanthony.

What could have been done better Book or Show?

Sex. The book is tame and both JB and Simone had enough chemistry to sink the Titanic. so the lack of extreme sexy times in both is abysmal. The book gets a slight pass. BUT THE SHOW? come on. You're telling me a single scene of Anthony testing Kate's riding skills couldnt have happened??? Anthony Bridgerton you told Kate there are many things you can teach her. Dont be a bitch and deliver.

As a fan of the books office/study scene, I wanted that in the show.

I know a lot of people dont like that scene but whatever I love it and I wanted to see it on the show.

As far as the book goes, I hated the wedding night. It was dumb. Anthonys speech is great (watch the writers give that scene away) but the execution from start to finish is dumb.

Don't like the whole husbandly right's spiel Anthony goes on. What would've been great is Anthony telling Kate he'll give her two weeks to prep but only if he can give her lessons. "The things that I could teach you" The show saw the potential of this but even they failed to deliver. Can we get a Christmas special of Anthony and Kate's lessons please?
