Gentlemen’s Guide to Getting Lucky is so fucking funny cus like. Monty’s having a whole crisis about Boning Down with Percy and there’s so much self-loathing and trauma and anxiety wrapped up in that and he’s like “i know what ill do. i’ll ask my aroace younger sister for advice. what could possibly go wrong” and honestly i respect that

I recently finished Nobleman's Guide, and the wedding was so THEM, and I'm not okay. So I'm going to live vicariously through memes

Dude, do I have a whumpy book for you Just finished it today It’s called The Gentlemen’s Guide to Vice and Virtue It’s a historical adventure with romance (except alchemy also works?) Spoiler warning for the whole story Basically this rakish eighteen year old son of an earl is going on The Grand Tour as rich Europeans did back then with his best friend, who he is in love with and pines for for a majority of the book, and his sister who they initially intend to drop off at a finishing school This all goes to hell when an impulsive decision leads to him stealing a macguffin from a duke that leads to a massive manhunt for him and his companions So this of course leads to all the whump that comes with being on the run, there’s a part where someone puts belladonna in his system which makes him almost death-like and his friends are extremely worried for him They stowaway on a ship that gets taken over by pirates and are taken hostage until they actually get on good terms with the pirates when they help the French navy from arresting them THEN the duke catches the main character when he doesn’t have the macguffin on him and the duke sets up an exchange for it with the mc as a hostage - gun on the temple style In some ensuing chaos later in this scene he gets his ear partially shot off! He’s in shock and it’s all great as his friend is trying to get his unmoving self out of an underwater catacomb that’s collapsing on them (oh yeah, they’re in underwater catacombs) His whole ear has to get cut off Now there is some stuff that could make someone uncomfy rather than the usual hurt/comfort we usually enjoy such as a scene that really goes into the physical abuse the mc suffered at the hands of his father, the friend character’s family planning on putting him in an asylum because of his epilepsy and the racism this friend experiences because he is dark skinned But yeah, I didn’t pick this up intending to find lots of whump but rather happily stumbled upon it
You definitely sold the whump for this book anon! I have read this one before but I honestly forgot about all the whump. Thanks for the recommendation! You should check this out if you’re looking for some new whumpy books.

I know this is probably incredibly niche but I’m doing my semi-annual reread of Gentlemen’s Guide to Vice and Virtue and holy shit Bordy is almost exactly Monty and now I can’t unsee it.

Oh follow-up, queer book recs:
Casey Mcquistons other two books - One Last Stop and I Kissed Sahra Wheeler are both incredible!! OLS is a slightly scifi romance, but its still set in like modern day. IKSW is a YA queer romance about a girl who goes missing and leaves clues to three people so that they can find her. Those three people are connected because they all kissed her the day before she disappeared. (Also a rivalry enemies to lovers thing). Both books are wlw.
The Charm Offensive is another amazing book. It is about a Bachelor type dating show, except the contestant falls for one of the crew members rather than the girls on the show😳 It also discusses neurodivergency and the asexual spectrum.
A gentlemans guide to Vice and Virtue is an mlm romance set in the 1700s. Its about a guy from a high class family who suddenly finds himself on the run with his best friend and sister. There are also pirates. I also recommend the sequels which are also very gay and just as good.
They Both Die at The End is a very good YA romance that will make you cry your eyes out. No further information needed.
Boyfriend material is about a guy whos the son of a rockstar who gets into a fake relationship with a fancy lawyer to maintain his public image, so that he can keep his job. Also very good.
My policeman is a really good book, the film was good too, but the book is truly a masterpiece. It will also make you cry your eyes out.
Those are what I have on the top of my head.
thank you!! i have read one last stop, boyfriend material and gentlemen’s guide. I’ll check the others out!

How about a f1/bridgerton AU - any thoughts or headcanons?
hello!! i’m so sorry this took me so long to get to. and apparently i have more thoughts on this than i expected...
tbh i find it quite hard to put f1 into a bridgerton au — partly because i’m not so inclined towards AUs with this fandom, and partly because the specificity of a bridgerton au (which is actually the only kind of regency au i would be even remotely interested in for this fandom) feels quite constraining and, if i’m honest, a bit ridiculous contrasted with the way f1 is.
but! that said, here are the minor thoughts i’ve had.
i feel like seb/lewis suits the sort of au where they are friends who love to annoy each other and be extremely competitive. lewis is the eternal bachelor that all the mamas of the ton love to throw their daughters at, and he is always very kind and nice to them but it never goes even the slightest bit further than that, not since the much-talked-about end to his engagement to miss nicole scherzinger. sebastian is definitely not jealous of any of this and definitely doesn’t escalate every interaction they have to ridiculous levels to try and get and hold lewis’s attention. lewis is mostly perplexed by this.
seb/mark feels like the natural fit for a kathony style enemies-to-lovers type beat, mostly because i think, deep down, they’re more similar than their superficial differences suggest. I think mark actually fits better in the kate-type role because even though he’s an exact fit for how much of an “insider” anthony is (mark is like…everything old school f1 men love imo), he was never the Chosen One at rb. seb actually fits better in the edwina role now that i think about it. hmm. much to think on.
charles/seb doesn’t work for me in any specific shoehorning into a bridgerton storyline but as i have prev said to @marioandretti, they’re perfect for a jane austen’s emma-style au. not so much because of the age difference as the vibe of  "i love you even though you're an absolute nightmare" and “i love you even though you disapprove of everything i do”. emma is my favourite austen novel, despite and honestly because of how ridiculous and unbearable emma is as a person, and really? peak charles vibes.
the main thing for me when it comes to regency aus, especially in the style of bridgerton, is….you have to lay on the pining and ust. that’s the only reason i’m here. there has to be ust so thick it makes me want to scream. the whole appeal of the genre for me is the passion that is hyper constrained by society, and the meaning and desire that is therefore subsumed into the smallest of touches. 
bridgerton season 2 delivered this in spades, while, crucially, also giving both an actual reason why these two characters can’t be together outside of that, and real, internal conflicts  for both of them that had nothing to do with the other person but had a huge impact on the way they interact. (god i wish we’d gotten to see and hear more about kate’s relationship with her father though.)
in fic land, my fave regency(ish) au of all time is thou and you by twentysomething. tbh it doens’t deliver any of the conflict that i love, but the ust is so deliciously drawn. it’s also a magic au which honestly makes me think of jonathan strange and mr norrell in ways that don’t actually make any sense, even though the author cites patricia c. wrede, whose books i did love growing up, as  inspiration. i also did really enjoyed the novel the gentlemen’s guide to vice and virtue, even if there was a little too much of the protagonist just being an idiot and people not talking it out for my taste.
ok these thoughts got long i’m sorry!!
