The Second Born Bridgerton // Benedict Bridgerton

A note from me! 💗

Hi!

This is the first fic I have ever written, and so I would love any critique or advice or if you spot anything wrong with it or any mistakes, I would love to know!

I hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoyed writing it. I'm very much in love with Benedict 💗

Just to let you know: I imagine peaches to be around 22/23 in this fic. I know this doesn't correspond with the ages in Quinn's originals, but this is how she is in my version of it! Thanks!

Thank you!

(EDIT... PS! everyone seems to really HATE the main character name: Peaches.

If anybody did care that much about why I chose the name Peaches:

1. It had to begin with a P

2. I felt like it was exactly the kind of awful garish name that Portia would choose. It doesn't suit the character but I kind of feel like that works, because the Featherington name and dresses etc don't suit her either. She's just not like other girls 🤪

3. Historically wise, it's absolutely fine. Peaches were (apparently) bought to the UK in like the 17th century, they were a 'prized and expensive treat' for a long time. I know Bridgerton is set in the 19th century, but again it makes sense to me that Portia would be out of date with her naming her daughter after something that was esteemed 100 years ago.

If you want to change the name, I think someone commented there was some kind of extension you can use, if you really do hate it that much!)
