ELOISE BRIDGERTON & THEO SHARPE

🍄

🍄 ⇢ share a head canon for one of your favourite ships or pairings

I'm going to share some Modern AU headcanons about Theloise because I thought about this a lot while writing The Manuscript:

Not only are they both coffee addicts, they both have the same order! Here's a snippet from an old WIP of mine where they reunite after a decade:

Theo passed Eloise her coffee—one cream, one sugar, same as always—before sitting down with his own coffee—also one cream, one sugar, same as always.

2. I can see Theo working at a publishing company (sort of the modern-day version of a print shop), working as a political journalist, or working as a lawyer! Similarly, I can see Eloise as a lawyer or in academia. I can also see them getting involved with organizations like the UN, or some non-profit organizations.

Regardless of their occupation, political activism is very important to them!

3. I like to think Eloise and Theo would enjoy reading from more modern-day female authors like Sally Rooney, Toni Morrison, Joan Didion, etc.

4. Eloise's favourite Jane Austen novel is Emma, while Theo's is Persuasion. I actually have an old WIP where Penelope and Colin spy on Eloise and Theo and overhear them arguing over the best Austen novel (their arguments are very surface level though because I'm not very well-versed in Austen lol).

5. I can see Theo being friends with people like Benedict, Colin, and Footman John! Maybe Kate, as well?

6. Eloise has a fear of spiders. No, I'm totally not projecting (🤡).

(But Theo kills them for her so it's all good.)

Also I just noticed the question only asks for one headcanon...oh, well. Thanks for the ask! <3

oh yes both reached for the gun (but the gun being mainly theloise bc i’m still upset with what pen did to them)

This is how I come up with fanfic ideas!

this is me all day

pls publish a new theloise fic even if its unfinished we need you back

LMAO trust me I'm on it. 🫡

I thought I would share the summaries of two fics I'm actively working on! I'm really hoping to finish Prelude To Ecstasy before September 5th (when my classes start)!

Prelude To Ecstasy:

Eloise accompanies Benedict to one of Henry Granville’s parties, where she finds someone entirely unexpected. [ft. Theo Sharpe, accidental bodice ripper.]

No. 1 Party Anthem:

Eloise trips and falls into Theo's bed. [Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, and thrice is neither of those things.]

Thank you for the ask! It really does mean a lot to me that people care enough about my writing to want more. 🥹

If you see this you’re legally obligated to reblog and tag with the book you’re currently reading

no need to answer all of them if you don’t want to, but here!! 🧩 🥤 🌿 🏜️

🧩 ⇢ what will make you click away from a fanfiction immediately?

Grammar and format! A few mistakes here and there are totally fine, I've definitely noticed mistakes in my own works lol, but when it becomes distracting? Then we have a problem.

🥤 ⇢ recommend an author or fanfic you love

Well, there's the supremely talented syntheticpen (😉).

when one has a motive by syntheticpen

Newly unmoored in the Scottish countryside, Eloise decides a letter to Bloomsbury is in order.

Here's a few more (off the top of my head):

run away to a world that we design by sachantquiladesailes_98

Theo and Eloise meet as children, while his father sells books to hers. Despite their differences in station and the way that life does not work out too well for Theo, they can't be kept apart. Eloise is far too determined for that.

let the reason come on the common tongue (of your loving me) by CallousMalice

It is their wedding night and Theo comes up with a way to calm a nervous Eloise, with the help of a certain poet he knows she loves.

A great crime by framboise

When Benedict finds his sister in the library at a ball, dress torn, bloodied letter knife in hand, he knows he will do anything he can to help her. And if anything involves finishing off the villain who has tried to harm her and then fleeing with her in the night, then that is what he shall do.

🌿 ⇢ give some advice on writer's block and low creativity

Lol you are asking the wrong person, but I'll try to answer anyway! I think outlining is really important: the more detailed, the better. This way, when you're writing, there's very little decision-making involved, you're just focusing on executing the scene. Personally, for dialogue-heavy scenes, I like to write a script instead of a more traditional outline.

But, yeah, all of this is easier said than done lol. (🤡)

🏜️ ⇢ what's your favourite type of comment to receive on your work?

I love all comments! I think my favourite comments are the ones that mention what exactly they liked about the chapter, and I usually try to leave those comments myself.

Thanks for the ask! <3
