Welcome all to the return of Fan Fiction Friday! Your place to talk Benophie fan fiction and get recommendations for your next read!

To kick us off, we’re celebrating the sub’s own authors with these five stellar recommendations. We have some old, some new, some incomplete, some complete, and that one where the author lost absolute control and is somehow on chapter 130 and still not done?

From Now Until Forever

liss99 or u/Glitterrain99

Summary:

Benedict Bridgerton will never tire of kissing Sophie Baek…Sophie Gun. Soon to be Sophie Bridgerton. Especially now, with the threat of them being torn apart abated, finally.

She pulls away from his kiss, not from a lack of want, but simply to take a breath. He is astonished that he will get to be her husband.

Their moment together is fleeting, he knows. Despite their previous intimate connections, Benedict is aware that now that he and Sophie are officially engaged, his mother will insist on propriety.

Still, he will relish this moment with his fiancée for as long as it shall last.

or,

The moments in between Benophie's terrace dance and their Our Cottage Wedding <3

Plastic_deer or u/Plastic_Deer8416

Summary:

Sophie Baek is starting the graduate program at University College London Slade School of Fine Arts. Benedict Bridgerton is a Drawing and Painting Professor at the School of Fine Art. They meet by chance at a crowded start-of-term party. Before names are exchanged, one fleeting night leaves them both with something impossible to forget.

Fluency of the Unspoken

Snarkmcsnark or u/born2bmild

Summary:

“I don’t pay an interpreter to be a ghostwriter,” Sophie said.

“I translated the version of you who wasn’t panicking,” he replied calmly.

On a high-stakes European press tour, actress Sophie Baek needs a literal parrot. Instead, she gets Ben Ledger: fluent in six languages, infuriatingly perceptive, and secretly hiding a Bridgerton inheritance. When he starts translating her hidden intent rather than her PR-scripted lies, their claustrophobic proximity combusts. She is determined to strip away his bohemian disguise, while he is determined to unravel the fiercely guarded woman beneath the fame.

The Bachelor

Benophiefan or u/Vegetable_Comfort366

Summary:

After two failed seasons, the international edition of The Bachelor takes a risk on an unlikely lead: Benedict Bridgerton, a man unsure of love and uncertain of himself.

Women from around the world arrive ready to compete for romance.

Sophie Baek arrives because she is told to.

Under constant surveillance, attraction begins to surface where it was never meant to exist—and the line between performance and truth starts to blur.

The Heart Doesn't Forget

fictionfrek101 or u/Skyrogue77

Summary:

In 1803, sixteen-year-old Benedict Bridgerton is spending the summer in Paris when the Napoleonic Wars are declared and he becomes a prisoner of war. The Bridgertons constantly worry about their missing brother, working to find a way to bring him home when suddenly the letters stop.

In 1807, eighteen-year-old Sophie Baek is illegally sold as a maid to a family in Verdun, when she meets Benjamin Sojourner, a mysterious and handsome young Englishman who lost his memory in an accident three years earlier.

In 1814, twenty-three-year-old Colin Bridgerton is touring France when Sophie Lefèvre, a happily married seamstress invites him home for dinner. Upon arriving to the Lefèvre residence, Colin is shocked to run into his long thought dead brother, Benedict, now happily married with four children and has no idea what the hell Colin is talking about when he calls him “Benedict” much less “brother.”

How Colin is going to explain this one to the family is anyone’s guess.
