⌨ + the fic of your choice! 💜

Arthur Rokesby wasn’t quite sure how he ended up on a ship bound for America. He was certain that it had something to do with imbibing far too much alcohol and the fact that his best friend, Edmund Bridgerton had decided to settle down. The headache and throbbing head explained the first part and his wounded heart explained the second.

He was happy for Edmund. Truly, he was. Violet Ledger was the perfect choice for him. She was beautiful, intelligent, and made Edmund very happy. Theirs was a match made for love, which wasn’t always common in polite society. Arthur had always thought that he and Edmund would sow their wild oats for nearly a decade before settling down. But this wasn’t to be. His best friend was married and he was not.

All his older siblings had married for love thus far and his twin was intent on practicing medicine. This left Arthur quite alone in the world and somehow on a ship bound for York City. If he had stayed home any longer, his mother would likely work on finding him a match. She was quite well-known for her matchmaking attempts. And he had no desire to settle down yet. So an adventure it was.

How long would he stay there? No idea. What was he going to do? Again, no idea. He couldn’t even remember his thought process that led him to board the ship in the first place. But there wasn’t much he could do about the situation in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, was there? His only choice was to embrace it, which Arthur did so willingly.

His brother Edward’s stories of America from his time in the war had always intrigued him. It had been a dream of his to set sail for America. Although Edmund or one of his brothers was always included in this daydream, it appeared it was a dream he would embark on alone. He would probably never hear the end of it from his mother once he sent word of his adventure. She was likely worried sick over his sudden disappearance. His only hope was that perhaps his mother had imbibed too much at the wedding as well and hadn’t yet noticed his absence.

Send me ⌨ + title to one of my fics and I’ll write a sentence for that fic!
