💖 & Fredwina

💖 rough kiss

"You're infuriating, do you know that?" The words slip from Edwina before she has even realised what she's going to say. "Is this all a game to you?"

Fredrich's eyebrows raise almost to his hairline and something flashes in his eyes, and perhaps for the first time since she met him his perfect smile slips.

"A game to me?" he repeats, disbelievingly.

It feels oddly, queasily satisfying, to think she might finally be about to get a glimpse of what lies beneath his princely mask, and despite the voice in her head screaming for her to stop she can't help but keep going. She wants to know if he can feel anger the way she does - somehow she has the idea that if someone so golden, so lovely, can burn with rage, it will make her own rage less frightening.

"Yes, you. Do you find it amusing? To play the gentleman and flirt with a girl the rest of society scorns? Is it your way of rebelling or do you just want to use me as a shield against actual, suitable matches?"

"You accuse me of using you?" He doesn't raise his voice, but there is anger simmering there. He steps forward so he's looming over her, but despite the fact that she's rarely been so aware of how tall he is and how short she is, Edwina doesn't feel afraid of him. Maybe that's why she can be so angry with him. "You, who will smile at me and dance with me, tease me and challenge me, but will shut me out as soon as I try to get close to you? Are you not playing with me, schatz?"

Edwina shakes her head, almost wanting to laugh. "How could I possibly play with you? You're a prince, I'm nothing."

"Don't talk of yourself like that," he snaps, and the fact that even in the midst of arguing with her he will defend her from herself makes her want to growl in frustration.

"I don't know what you want from me!" she bursts out.

"Really? I find that hard to believe. You're not an unintelligent woman, Edwina."

Her heart's beating wildly in her chest because perhaps she does know, but she could never believe - no matter how intently he in staring at her, no matter how much it feels like his gaze is searing her from the inside out -

"It's impossible. You're a prince," she tells him again. "You can't."

Then he does look angry, his brow furrowing into a scowl as he says sharply, "The hell I can't," before he has surged forward, clutching her face his hands, and covered her mouth with his.

It is not a soft or gentle kiss, like the sort Edwina always imagined when she read her fairytales and romances. It is raw, unrestrained, his lips almost bruising where they press down on hers - and what felt like anger suddenly feels like something much different, though it courses through her veins like fire and burns her just the same.

His arms come around and she finds herself being pushed back against the wall, locked firmly in his embrace as he continues to kiss her mercilessly, biting at her bottom lip and teasing her mouth open so that he can deepen it. Edwina's heartbeat is now a roar in her ears and it takes her a moment to realise the low moan she can hear beneath it is her own. Her breathing already ragged but she brings her arms up to wind around Fredrich's neck, her fingers raking through his hair as she seeks to bring him even closer and kisses him back with the same rough, unrestrained passion.

Because god, maybe it's foolish of her but she wants him. Has wanted him, almost since they met. She's just been afraid.

But between the slant of their mounts Fredrich is murmuring, "I don't want anything from you. I just want you," and she thinks that if he keeps kissing her maybe, just maybe, she'll start to believe him.

[sukibenders]

Okay, but Mary and Kate interrogating Friedrich whilst Edwina sighs longingly would be hilarious.

Lol, this is perfect! I have so many ideas for this prompt so I'm, quite literally, restricting myself from making this so long 😭. I hope the interrogation aspect was to your liking, as well as everything else. It does have a spicy moment but it's very brief.

In retrospect, Edwina should have been better prepared for this moment. She honestly should have. When she and Friedrich had first met, almost instantly finding some form of comfort within one another and arranging to see one another more and more, the latter hadn't exactly made it known that he was royalty let alone a prince or the nephew of the queen at that. Rather, he had concealed his identity ("simply call me Friedrich in public, and whatever your heart desires in private").

Edwina would never admit this, but she did squeal very childishly into her pillows that night after.

When the truth had been revealed albeit abruptly when Friedrich, now wearing the identity of the crown prince of Prussia, had immediately locked his gaze on to her and sought to spend most of the ball of the season hosted by Lady Danbury, who Edwina swore had, whilst watching the pair dance the night away, whispered something into Queen Charlotte's ears and had left them both wearing Cheshire cat smiles in response. Not that either would admit it.

And though Edwina had been discouraged by the reveal (she was so tired of things be kept from her, as that ended so well the last time), Friedrich, to her shock, practically fell to his knees before her when they were able to sneak away and expressed his sincerities over hurting her. "That was the last thing that I ever wanted to do," he swore, holding her hand to his chest. "Forgive me, liebling, but I wanted to stay in the moment where I was just a simple man who met a woman who claimed his heart from the start. Without the weighted of my royal status hanging over us."

The pair had been swept up in a form of passion that night, where Edwina had experienced things that had left her desiring the prince more and more (and him the same). But there was something else too. Something that she could distinctly remember dreaming over when she was a little girl, her parents and sister telling stories of how it would one day happen to her, something that she had feared wouldn't following her failed season. She was in love, and it was a beautiful thing.

But back to the situation at hand. Following their shared night together, Friedrich had promptly made his presence known at the Danbury residents with a series of flowers and gifts---for herself, her sister, her mother, and Lady Danbury. When he had confessed that he had wished to court Edwina, publicly that is but no needed to know that outside of them, Edwina couldn't help the butterflies in her stomach as they burst when his gaze fell on her.

To her surprise, however, her sister and mother shared little of the same sentiment. The bare had briefly shared a glance and it wasn't before long that Edwina knew that they would take more winning over to be impressed. Relaying some of her shared time with the prince prior hadn't helped as much either, as Mary had nearly sent Friedrich from the Danbury residents with threats of meeting at dawn had Edwina not interfered and provided a more informed explanation. And while Mary had been reassured, she very sternly (caring little for the fact that she was speaking to a prince) commented that any meetings between the pair would be chaperoned accordingly and no longer will secret meetings take place.

Edwina sighed in acceptance to the former as, with a swift shared look with Friedrich, it had been silently agreed that their secret meetings would still transpire. She could only hope that they would be successful as her mother's keen eyes would follow them everywhere, that Edwina was sure of.

Kate, while feeling some form of peace that her sister would be well taken care of, held no knowledge of who Friedrich was as a person outside of being a prince and set off to fill in as many blanks as she could. And while Friedrich had answered every one of her, many, questions with relatively diplomatic expertise, Kate still remained hardly convinced. When Friedrich had mentioned that he enjoyed horse riding and hunting, Kate gave him little time before announcing that they should set off tomorrow morning and put that notion to the test as what better way to get to know more about the man who wishes to court her sister.

When they returned, Friedrich discussed little of what he and her sister had talked about before leaving a kiss on her head and disappearing into the night, with a drawn out sigh Edwina had decided to seek Kate out.

"It's just that I don't him, Bon. It was rather of a shock to discover a man standing in Lady Danbury's home with the intent to court you. But then I find out that he is a prince as well, adding on to the fact that you too have known each other for longer-"

Edwina quickly cut in before her sister could overwhelm herself. "I know he hid his identity from me, and I will not lie and say that it did not hurt. But I understand now, Kate, as had I'd known than what the two of us have now would have been weighed down during its developing stages. This is a better alternative."

"I just wish to know more about him is all, prince or not I have to make sure that he can provide for you." Kate placed a hand on Edwina's cheek. "In more than just luxuries but for your heart as well. I know that things had been...tense for a period of time, and we have healed from it, but you will always be my sister and I cannot help but worry."

Edwina simply smiled. "And I love you for it, even more for giving me the chance to take care of this myself. While Friedrich is more than capable of caring for me with his status, I have long since come to find out that he'll care for my heart as well."

It was still evident that the prince still had work to be done in regard to winning over her family, but much to both of their surprise a series of acts would assist them in that process. First had been during a viewing at the opera where Friedrich had sat alongside Edwina with the rest of the Bridgertons, chatting ideally with her in-laws and whispering to her in French when he was sure that no one would catch. During a break in the show, Edwina had moved with Francesca and Eloise to the powder room in hopes of freshing up when she felt the sense of dread that had become all to familiar following her failed season.

Lord Charles and other men of high society muttered jeers and hardly concealed stabbing comments her way, watching her with amusement that could only be found in men who held nothing better to do than humiliate women. Edwina held her head high, doing her best to tune out their comments even as Eloise had sought to give them a peace of her mind. Edwina, however, wished to take no part.

That did not mean that Friedrich thought the same.

The matter was relatively a blur, if Edwina was being honest, as she watched from afar as Friedrich had appeared behind the group of men with a faux cheery deposition with his eyes sharp enough to cut. A bitting smile on his face did not change, but the once arrogant posture of Lord Charles and the men around him dropped and became one of embarrassment and, if Edwina looked close enough, possibly even fear?

When Friedrich left the pair and returned to Edwina's side, he gave off little input on what had just transpired. "We simply talked about how it wasn't appropriate for gentlemen talk about ladies in such a manner, and that they should refrain from doing so. Especially toward you."

Edwina knew that that wasn't the whole story but quickly halted her series of questions when she noticed her mother and sister looking over at the pair, this time with mirroring pride and approval in their eyes. It didn't take long for Edwina to find a mischievous Eloise by their side, who Edwina was sure had informed them of everything that had happened.

"Liebling?" Friedrich questioned when he did not receive a response.

Edwina sighed, reaching to loop their arms together as they moved back to their seats and prepared for the show to start again. "I think you just gained my sister's and mother's approval."

I loved @minim236 's fic so much that I was inspired to mock up one of those classic novel-style covers for it! It reminds me of my copy of Pride and Prejudice, and it's just a canvas pattern, but I love how sweet your writing is!

As much we've talked about how fucked up what Anthony did to Edwina was and how shitty Daphne was to use Prince Friedrich all valid but I don't see it pointed out that they also did those two a favor.

If Daphne hadn't decided to go after Friedrich when Simon rejected her, he would have married Cressida and we've seen what a terrible person she is.

Before Anthony, Edwina seemed poised to end up with Lord Lumbley, who she called a dandy, because Kate liked him for her. She looked miserable when she was talking to him.

Even if Queen Charlotte didn't introduce them like I hope she did, Edwina and Friedrich had a better chance of finding love and happiness after the Bridgertons got in their way.

[edwinas]

I find that equating Edwina's fandom mistreatment to Eloise's rings really hollow. Eloise was called privileged, spoiled, tone deaf, a white feminist etc. But Edwina?? Even before S2 came out, she was removed from posters and Charithra was bullied to the point she had to delete her social media. Once S2 was out, all of Edwina's actions were misconstrued so she became a gold digger who deserved to be cheated on, humiliated at her wedding, be saddled with a man who will forever fantasise about fucking her sister, somehow responsible for fans' own trauma as older siblings ??? The level of projection, phew. Edwina's tag was filled with hate and Edwina fans would constantly receive hate anon.

But worst of all, fandom projected their Edwina hate on Charithra. The stupid conspiracy of Edwina having "white / whitepassing privilege" reached Charithra, a dark-skinned Tamil woman, who had to defend herself. Anything Charithra says about Edwina, a character she spent months preparing for and playing, is baseless. But racists who hated Edwina on sight know better??? stfu. Charithra wasn't even allowed to say "Edwina was betrayed by everyone," a very lukewarm vague and non-controversal opinion, without haters coming out of the woodwork saying "proof Charithra HaTeS KaTe."

And of course, the never-ending "Charithra stole x y z from Simone" bs. Like when Charithra spoke about the racism she experienced and you fuckers literally said "omggg Charithra should stay quiet and let Simone speak!!!" and Simone wasn't even there lol. Or when "Edwina stole Kate's monologues" when none of the Sharmas were well-developed. Just admit you're racist (and yes this goes to brown fans too) and go.

[aspoonfuloffiction]

Do you know other fredwina shippers who make good content?

Not a lot…finding positive Edwina fans is hard I mostly stick to my circle but for you nonny I’ve come up with a veritable list. I’m sure your probably already read/seen much of it but I hope you find something new on the list!

The good folks at @edwinadaily are constantly creating pretty fredwina things-check out their tag here

(I mean look how pretty!!! Giving us what the show can’t😪)

@minim236 writes a lot of great fredwina stuff and a lot of great Edwina in general her entire page is worth a glance but my favorite of her fredwina fics is price tag can’t recommend it enough I love a good 5+1 fic

@phantomphaeton’s all the bright places is an absolutely gorgeous fic and my personal canon for fredwina so many great character dynamics and a beautiful exploration of what Edwina might be dealing with after 1814

the scariest part is letting go by @vexthejester of my OG favorite fredwina fics though not strictly fredwina it’s more the Sharma sisters and Frederick trying to get into Kate’s good graces I loved it

@lizzibennet’s don’t be unkind is not strictly fredwina but it features in a really sweet way! The fic is more about Anthony and Edwina and how they move on after S2 and its done really gracefully (also one of the tags on the fic is ‘a fic written with the sole purpose of having edwina be as mean to anthony as she likes lmao’ so like…)

And because I live to peddle this fic as if it were my own (it’s not I could never write anything this beautifully) if you like Edwina Only You Always is so so so so worth reading. It’s not fredwina but I promise you will love Lucas-it’s hot it’s fun it’s angsty and it’s just one of my favorite fanfics seriously go check it out besties

omg!!! i love your penedict fics! do you have any more planned for the future?

i do actually! besides from my current two ones, i have another two planned! they're both post season-two aus.

the first one is going to be told mostly through letters for the first bit and transition into the 1815 season through pen's pov. it'll be about friendship, the main one being between ben and pen as he is the one who will be facilitating the reconciliation between eloise and pen, and the beginning of a friendship between pen and edwina as they'll both be traversing through murky waters for their upcoming season. however what those last two don't realize is that they've steadily fallen in love with their male pen-pals (yes there's minor fredwina in this one!!!)

the second one is much more my usual speed aka it involves incest lol. it'll be a hea for benedict/eloise/penelope with established beneloise. the whole premise of this au is that penelope has been trying to earn eloise's forgiveness and in doing so finds out about those two and decides that if benedict is who eloise wants, then penelope will make it work and enters a marriage of convenience with benedict, all the while falling out of love with colin and falling in love with eloise and eventually benedict.

technically i also have a modern au oneshot for them set in an a/b/o setting but i've yet to outline it the way i have done for the two fics above. we'll see though since i have finish my two current ones before even thinking of posting these!

if barchie really does have a baby i hope it means riverdale can carry on for another ten years by eventually just jumping forward in time so the kid is the main character and she also has the serial killer genes. the jump forwards opens with another murder mystery akin to jason blossom’s but it’s jughead who died and little fredwina andrews is ambiguously the main suspect

Friedrich and Edwina headcanons?

OKAY SO

neither of them are looking for love when they meet

after the disaster of her debut season, edwina doesn't really trust anyone anymore, including herself, and has decided it's better to find a decently kind husband who respects her rather than one who makes pretty declarations of love she'll never really believe

friedrich's not actually in london for the season, he's here in a diplomatic capacity to discuss the problem of napoleon escaping from elba and retaking france but his aunt charlotte asks him to stay for a while and he's always had a soft spot for her so he can't say no

she takes him to the next ball and friedrich is immediately mobbed by mothers wanting to introduce him to their eligible daughters - he's polite, courteous, but his cheeks are aching from the false smiling and his feet are tired from the dancing when he notices there's one girl in the room that he hasn't been introduced to (who's also the prettiest girl in the room, in his opinion), who he thinks he has only seen dancing once or twice and spent most of the evening sat by herself in the corner

he asks one of his cousins about her and he just shrugs and says, "well, no one wants to court a woman who runs away at the altar" but doesn't explain more than that and friedrich leaves it because he has no wish to dance any more tonight but he does think it's a crime for a woman that lovely to be left by herself

edwina noticed the handome, golden-haired prince, of course, and thought about how last year she might have been one of those girls eagerly anticipating a dance with him, but she no longer believes in fairytales and she certainly doesn't believe in prince charming, and he will certainly want nothing to do with her, so there's no point in seeking an introduction

she doesn't think of him again until a few nights later when they attend the opera - she is (regrettably) in the bridgerton box which is near enough to the royal box that she can see the prince and see the lady sat by him (one of the queen's favourites, she thinks) and she hear the woman trying to flirt with him through the entire performance by asking him to translate what they're singing; the prince answers politely enough the first few times but is clearly getting exasperated and when he outright lies and starts making up an entirely different plotline edwina, who can understand it all perfectly, can't help laughing

and apparently she's near enough that the prince can her as well, because he turns and his eyes meet her briefly when she laughs and she can't be entirely sure in the dark but when he turns back again she thinks he's smiling as well

two days later edwina has been persuaded to join the bridgertons in hyde park when the prince, out for a stroll with his friend the earl of kilmartin, stops to greet daphne and she introduces them

friedrich bows over her hand and cannot resist greeting her - this dark-eyed girl who he has been wondering about since the opera - in german, just to be sure she really was laughing for the reason he thought. sure enough she replies in kind, and he feels rather triumphant because the first time he saw her she looked so solemn and sad and it feels like an accomplishment to have made her laugh.

they fall into easy conversation and he mentions a ball he's been invited to, and asks if she will be there and if he might claim a dance - but her face falls a little and she replies softly that no, she's not been invited

he asks his aunt about her that evening and she pulls a face and tells him the whole story, though with an emphasis on how embarrassing it was for her to have her diamond run out on her wedding

he feels angry on edwina's behalf just hearing it, but even more so when he attends the ball and sees all the bridgertons have been invited and it is only edwina that has been excluded

she is, however, invited to the queen's ball the next week, which is a masquerade - and her favourite ball of the season so far as fewer people seem to recognise her beneath the mask and she does not hear as many whispers following her about

friedrich recognises her immediately, though, and asks her for a dance. she hesitates but they are masked after all so she lets him whirl her into a waltz and when the music ends and he looks into her eyes she can hardly breathe and it's the most terrifying thing she's ever felt

so when he calls on her the next day she tries to put him off, saying her reputation will only harm him, but he only smiles and reminds her that he's a prince of prussia and a little english gossip won't harm him and, besides, he only wishes to be her friend

that makes her relax a little, because she can do friends

and they quickly become good friends, she finds, he enjoys listening to her talk about philosophy and poetry and starts teaching him tamil and in return he tells her of his interest in history and astronomy (picked up from his uncle george, before his illness got very bad) and teaches her to play chess

and if sometimes she finds him watching her with a tender expression on his face that makes her heart thump wildly in her chest, and if sometimes she wonders what it would feel like to kiss him or remembers his what his arms felt like around her while they were waltzing she determinedly ignores it

because she has learned not to trust to fairytales and even as she grows fonder of him she wonders if she's mistaken about him, if he's hiding part of himself from her, if she'll learn something that changes everything, or turn around one day to see him giving that look to someone else

then there comes a night when someone drops a glass and it shatters and friedrich pales and starts shaking, his eyes far away, and edwina takes him outside and holds his hand until he's come back to himself, and he tells her a little of his experiences in the war and how they haunt him still

she tells him of her heartbreak, of the anger that she has tried to push a way but still sears its way through her at times, of the doubt she can never quite get rid of

his thumb gently strokes her fingers as he asks her if she thinks that two somewhat broken people might be able to help piece each other back together

"I don't know," she says, quietly, "but I'd like to think so."

she can't quite admit that she loves him yet, not even to herself - it's not until he has to leave to fight napoleon once more, when he's gone and she reads the papers anxiously every day for reports, and realises that she's more frightened that she'll never get the chance to tell him than she is of being hurt again that she understands how she feels

when he does return (with a few new scars but no permanent injuries) she throws herself into his arms, and he holds her tight against him, and for the first time there's no doubt in her mind at all

they marry in as small a ceremony as is possible for royalty, and although they'll spend much of their time in prussia, queen charlotte gifts them an estate in england for their wedding gift so they always have a home there as well

many years later, when edwina has given birth to their fifth child and friedrich is leading their others in to greet their new sister, she thinks to herself that perhaps fairytales aren't real, but that doesn't mean happily ever afters don't exist

[sukibenders]

During a time where they are having an argument, decide the reason behind it for what you will, and the atmosphere tethers between bittingly playful to an more tense atmosphere, Edwina has enough and storms off before anything more damaging can be said. However, Friedrich has a different idea and follows after her because this matter can simply not be let go. A rain storm had come and past, but the ground was still wet and covered with mud. Edwina is so focused on Friedrich that she doesn't realize where she steps until she falls into a puddle of mud. In front of members of the court. She's so embarrassed, almost blindingly so that she nearly misses Friedrich fall beside her as he also slipped. Only, it's very obvious to her that he fell purposely and is now dramatically placing more mud on his clothing to appear more disgruntled than her.

His eyes meet her's and the words speak for themselves. Even when they argue, no matter how trivial it may be, he'd never let her embarrass herself and be laughed at alone when they could face it together. Even if that means being covered head to toe in mud.
