I'm on a gg/dair renaissance and I blame you entirely 😂😂😂
LMAO I will gladly accept the blame! Also, Dair is literally Modern Theloise so the renaissance was bound to happen eventually. 😅
Dair gives strong Theloise vibes and I will never shut up about it!

Eloise was no great pianoforte player. She had no skill in dancing. And, under no circumstance, was she ever allowed to sing. She lived her life in silence, until the Prince of Pirates and his crew attacked her brother’s port of Mayfair searching for a treasure none of them would ever reveal. Now, stolen from home, she must survive until she can escape the “Prince of Pirates” Captain Sharpe and finally live a life of freedom.

Summary:
Eloise trips and falls into Theo's bed.
[Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, and thrice is neither of those things.]
Excerpt:
Eloise had Theo pressed against a shelf, her fingers deftly working open the buttons of his neatly-pressed shirt. There were voices outside, important people having important conversations right outside their hiding place, but all she could focus on was making sure that this man (with his perfect hair and his perfect smile and his perfect—) walked away from this closet looking wrecked.
I dont know what to say other than I read @pendale 's titanic au drabble like an hour ago (go read that if you havent) and then furiously wrote this.
"James Cameron is full of shit," Eloise says as the screen fades to black and the credits begin to roll. "I still say they both could have fit."
"Not this again," Theo laughs, half out of desperation, and half actual humor. He pinches the bridge of nose. "For the last time, El, it's about the bouyancy, not how much space they had to occupy."
Eloise smirks, popping a piece of popcorn in her month. To the victor goes the spoils, she thinks. It's become much, much too easy, lulling Theo into an argument like this. Most of their movie nights end up following a similar route.
"All they had to do was tie Rose's lifejacket-"
"I swear to God, if you bring up the Mythbusters thing again-"
She throws an M&M at her boyfriend's face, aiming for his forehead. He catches it in his mouth instead. She would be more annoyed about it, but it was an pretty impressive catch, so she gets her revenge by throwing herself at him and toppling them both down onto the couch cushions.
She settles on top of him, and Theo's arms wrap snugly around her waist as he peers up at her with a gaze so open that even after years of receiving it, it still sparks crackling electricity to erupt throughout her body.
(The same sensation she had had the first year of university watching him arrive in the middle of a lecture with the most endearing blush on his face before taking a seat next to her.)
"I don't think Jack and Rose were in the right frame of mind to have come up with such an elaborate plan," Theo tells her, "you know, with all the freezing to death and what not."
"Sucks to be them," Eloise says plainly. "I would have thought of it."
"Of course you would have."
She sinks more fully onto him, pressing them further into the cushions. She'd called it payback for his teasing, but it's hardly a punishment. "I'm just saying, if I had a gorgeous peasant in front of me I wouldn't simply sit back and do nothing while they turn into a corpse."
"I don't know if I should be flattered you called me gorgeous, or offended you called me a peasant."
"Who said I was talking about you?" She raises a challenging eyebrow.
Theo laughs. "Well, you're too old for Leo Dicaprio, so I know you're not talking about him."
Eloise smooths her hands down his solid chest, appreciating the way his features get caught in the glow of the television. Something anchors itself in her ribcage, heart tied to this spot, this moment, this man. She holds no desire untether it. "I would have gotten us out alive," she says softly-- not a boast, but a declaration. "I would have saved you."
"I know you would have," Theo pulls her closer. "There's not a bone in my body that would ever cast doubt on you."
She shows her gratitude for such unwavering confidence by capturing his lips in a kiss-- slow and sweet, and without any emerging danger or impending doom to hurry them along. Theo’s fingers tease the hem of shirt, and her own take to their favored position of curling in his hair, and her opinion is only cemented further.
James Cameron and the freezing waters of the Atlantic Ocean be dammed. There's nothing in the world that could keep her from having this.
Just a little something while I work on other (less miserable) works!

(aka: Born To Die)
The forest around her was still, holding its breath as she lined up her shot, the tree standing strong and silent before her. She inhaled deeply, her senses sharpening—the crisp scent of pine, the gentle rustle of leaves, the distant call of a bird. She drew back the string, focusing intently, when—
“Eloise Bridgerton.”
Eloise cursed under her breath as her arrow flew through the air, a flash of wood and feathers, before piercing the bark of her intended target.
The forest seemed to exhale around her.
“Go on, then,” she said, turning to face her brother. “Chastise me.”
The coppery scent of blood filled her senses, choking her with its sharp, metallic bitterness. The grass beneath her was stained with fresh blood, dark and glistening under the dim lamplight. Every breath she took seemed to draw more of that metallic bitterness into her lungs, making it impossible to escape the reality of what had occurred.
Murder.
The air hummed around Eloise as she shakily reached for her phone, her bloody fingers staining the case red.
There was only one person she wanted to call.
“I need your help,” she said, the words paining her to say.
“Like, with homework?”
Eloise glanced down at the body of George Morrison, a cold chill running down her spine. “Sure. Homework.”

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.
(Summary: Theo calls on Eloise.)
“They appear to be quite fond of insulting one another,” Benedict noted, a gleeful expression on his face.
“Indeed,” Anthony replied dryly, still struggling to process the lunacy occurring right before his eyes. Eloise had just insulted Theo, who responded by throwing his head back and laughing.
Dear God, Anthony realized with no small amount of horror, they were flirting.
Edit: Link.
It's always "hey, what's up" over dms and never: "I’ve read all of these and…I set them aside for you. I thought perhaps you might share your thoughts on them."
This scene occurs the morning after Anthony's "failed nuptials"...and also the morning after Eloise confessed her feelings to Theo and he set aside books for her to "share her thoughts on". I can't help but wonder if the book she's reading here is one of the books he set aside for her?
This scene follows immediately after, and it's obvious she's on her way to meet Theo (my girl's practically skipping lol). Perhaps she wanted to meet Theo and "share her thoughts" on the book she was reading? The book that he gave her?

Okay, hear me out:
(Also, most of what I'm about to say hinges on the fact that I'm pretty confident season 4 is Benedict's season.)
The swing scene at the end of season 3 seemed to pretty blatantly set up Benedict and Eloise's arcs for season 4. Regarding Benedict, that scene seems to imply he'll be meeting Sophie next season, and regarding Eloise, she straight up says she wants to explore the world beyond Mayfair and Aubrey Hall.
Now, we know Eloise will be back in London for the masquerade ball, and we also know that the masquerade is where Benedict meets Sophie. Assuming season 4 is Benedict's season, the masquerade will need to happen earlier on in the season, so Eloise won't be spending too much time in Scotland.
So, if Eloise's season 4 arc revolves around exploring the world beyond her little bubble of high society, spending an episode or two in Scotland is not enough.
She needs to go back to Bloomsbury.
We already got a taste of this in season 2, but we primarily see Eloise visiting Theo at the printshop. Season 4 offers a perfect opportunity to see Eloise go beyond the printshop and attend more assemblies, and maybe even speak at one (in season 3, one of the debutantes did call Eloise a talented speaker). Hell, maybe she even runs into Theo at one of these assemblies.
Additionally, if season 4 revolves around Benophie, working class people need to be brought into the spotlight. Enter Theo Sharpe! Introducing Sophie already opens up the world of Bridgerton in a way we haven't seen before, but bringing back Theo can expand that world and show us a more political side, which we only got a glimpse of in season 2. Not to mention, a Theloise subplot during Benophie's season can provide really interesting commentary on women marrying above/below their station.
