Pairings: Eloise Bridgerton/Theo Sharpe, Anthony Bridgerton & Eloise Bridgerton, Eloise Bridgerton & Violet Bridgerton

Prompt:

Tempted to write a season 2 fic that throws both historical accuracy and show consistency out the window and has Theo say “fuck it” and leave work to visit Eloise at her house. He shows up in his work attire and Anthony is all “what the fuck who are you and what are you doing at my house” and Theo’s like “I’ve come to call on Eloise” and Anthony, who’s already on the verge of a mental breakdown because of Kate and Edwina, just goes “fuck it, it’s your funeral” because surely his sister will eat this man alive, right?

But then, they actually seem to like each other. And not only that, they seem to know each other…and that’s when Anthony officially loses it.

The same crowd that gets on Eloise’s neck about being rich and privileged and unaware of how hard other people’s lives are is the same crowd that trashed her for spending time with Theo, seeing more of the world outside of the ton, learning more about women’s rights and the world around her and called her selfish for wanting more than to spend her life as a man’s trophy-on-a-shelf

Almost like you guys don’t actually want her to grow and expand her worldview, you’re just waiting for Scumbag Ph*lip to come and completely destroy her spirit and punish her for thinking she could possibly do more with her life than be a wife and mother

And what exactly was so selfish about her spending time with Theo? You guys love Benophie as if the class difference isn’t also a factor there

britt lower for the la times

Kindred Spirits: Eloise, Theo, Francesca, and John

A lot of people compare Eloise and Theo to Anthony and Siena or Colin and Marina: where one is simply a plot device for the other. While I have my own thoughts regarding this that I won't get into, I think a more apt comparison for Eloise and Theo is Francesca and John.

We see both relationships develop, and we see a real connection between these couples despite Eloise and Francesca ending up with different people in the books. Eloise and Theo feel like "kindred spirits" due to their shared interests, and so do Francesca and John.

Theo and John also share Eloise and Francesca's love language: politics and literature, in Eloise's case, music and peace, in Francesca's case. We see this when Theo sets aside books for Eloise and when John rewrites music for Francesca. Personally, I prefer these moments to some of the grand love confessions we see in the show (which I also love, don't get me wrong). Actions speak louder than words for a reason!

Both Theo and John can also offer Eloise and Francesca the life they want: Theo offers Eloise a life outside of high society, John offers Francesca a peaceful life.

idk how to flirt but i can make things awkward if you're into that

I don't get people talking shit about Eloise not noticing that Penelope is in love with her brother. When I was her age and younger, I could never figure out my friend's crushes unless they told me, and even now, I struggle to notice. It took me years of my friends dating around to guess a pattern. Sometimes, people just don't notice that stuff. It happens.

Theo Sharpe season 5 leading man for sure!!! Theloise will be back!!
