Summary
After Penelope falls out with Eloise over her popular gossip blog, all the Bridgertons cut contact with her. It's the worst thing that has ever happened to her, but after a few months of wallowing, Penelope moves to Scotland and buys a book shop and gets on with her life. It turns out she can live without the Bridgertons and she's happy enough with the new life she's cobbled together. No one knows anything about her here and that's how she likes it: complete and total separation from her life back in London and her old online persona.
That is, until she spots Colin Bridgerton at the coffee shop next door.

Summary
'So when the idea hit him - one evening after catching up on the previous day’s episode of The Great British Bake Off, the two of them sat side by side on the sofa and sharing the last slice of his dad’s recently baked Mississippi mud pie - to sign him up for the show, Henry knew he’d do everything in his power to see it through.
By some miracle, it worked.
By his dad’s talent, he secured his place on the show.
Then by another miracle, by fate or the universe or some other higher power, they met Rebecca Welton.'
or, the spiritual successor to the bake off au that even less than no people asked for!

Summary
She took a breath and pressed herself up on her tiptoes, gently pressing her lips to his cheek, and he froze. “Michelle, I—”
Henry squealed at the sight, immediately running over and hugging both of their legs tightly. “I’m so happy we’re a family again…”
And Ted snapped his mouth shut, a strained smile on his lips as he gently rested a hand on top of his son’s head. “Me too, bud… me too.”
He feels like he’s dying.
--
Ted falls into a dark depression having given up everything to go be a dad to Henry. He hates that being around his son isn't enough.
Michelle notices and does what needs to be done in order to save him.

Summary
“What on earth,” Deborah says.
When Rebecca glances up, her mother has the little green army man pinched between her fingers.
“Have you given up on real men altogether then? Traded in for a matchbox man instead?”
Rebecca’s face burns. “That’s not—” But the words are barely out of her mouth before she freezes, something white-hot lancing through her chest.
“What did you call it?”

Summary
"Mum might work in an office filled with a lot of men who think they know a lot of things, and wear designer suits and really high heels that make her look intense and powerful, but if Rebecca Welton really loves you, you will know it, and you will feel it.
And even as I grew older, and we grew apart, I still think of her, and I think of home."
Rebecca Welton had always been good at shoving the hard things aside. The pain from her marriage and subsequent divorce, the complexities of motherhood, and even her budding feelings for one Ted Lasso. Then, she receives the call no parent—no person—wants to get, forcing her to face the mortality of a loved one, the fragility of human life, and the realization that maybe, she is worth more than her past trauma.
A story about taking care of each other, falling in love, and learning that healing is never linear.

Summary
'Their eyes hit him first, those all too familiar irises, but the gentle dip in their cheeks with their smile just about knocks the wind out of him. They’re the same dimples that've stared back at him in the mirror every day of his life, the same dimples Rebecca had traced with her finger that night in bed, the rising daylight highlighting each sun freckle that dotted her nose.'

Summary
Tabitha stood under the awning of a jewelry shop when she spotted a large, white house on the other side of the road. It was lit up brightly on the inside, appearing warm and inviting. Whoever lived there clearly had money. Surely, they would offer her some food.
Taking a deep breath, Tabitha jogged across the street and stopped outside the black gates in front of the house. She looked up as she stood there, taking it all in.

Summary
Ted would be stupid to deny that Rebecca was desireable. He’d known it since the day he met her, when she turned around to greet him, in that rusty orange shirt that reminded him of the sunset in Kansas, when the corn burned under the gaze of the sun. And she smiled - she smiled like she knew you were prey, like she was counting every weakness laid bare before her.
He liked being looked at that way, not like he was prey, but like he could be devoured. Because underneath the appraising look she gave him the first time they met, there’d been hunger.

Summary
AU where Rebecca is the fish out of water, or in this case the Brit at the American football team.
This idea stated with a conversation between me and a dear friend of mine imagining a flipped universe, and this is the twisted sprout that grew from it in my mind.
Only chapter 11 and 23 really earns the rating, so if smut is not your thing, skip those and know that they basically had sex. Mind the tags, tho. There is some discussion of trauma and abuse.
Thanks to the wonderful friends in my life and you glorious people reading and commenting. Without you this story would not exist.
You're the unsung heroes in my life.Bookmarked by BrightBlueSea

Summary
“I was wondering if you were available to help run my security detail.”
It’s the last thing Rebecca expects the ambassador to say. She’s silent, mouth hanging open as he pulls out a thick packet from a desk drawer.
“You’ve got an impressive record,” he says, flipping through pages of intel. “Not that you need me telling you that. Distinctions and honors. More than 20 years with the Secret Intelligence Services. A very daring rescue at an orphanage in an undisclosed location.” He looks up at her, “I’d love to unpack that with you, but I promise I won’t ask. Boundaries and all that."
Or American Ambassador Ted Lasso hires former MI6 Agent Rebecca Welton to be his bodyguard.

Summary
Ted isn’t sure what the heck is happening and suddenly he thinks maybe he should just hang up. Hang up the phone and go to bed and never listen to the rest of the voicemail again. It feels like eavesdropping in a way - she has clearly had more than a bit to drink, she’d never be this candid if she wasn’t hammered. Except Rebecca is talking about kissing him and there’s no way he can hang up now.

Summary
As she made her way towards the shop’s exit, Ted waved at her, and for some godforsaken reason, she ended up waving back.
Back on the street, she took a tentative sip of her tea and tucked the box of biscuits more securely under her arm.
“What in the fuck,” she mumbled to herself, “was that?”
(or, in an attempt to evade the tabloids, Rebecca finds herself in a cozy coffee shop with an infuriatingly affable American named Ted behind the counter.)
