Canon Divergence Post S2E4. Following the viscount's proposal to Miss Edwina, he tells her that she should expect a marriage of friendship, but never love. As Miss Edwina takes time to consider if this is a life she can accept, she begins to see something blossoming between Lord Bridgerton and her sister. Was this a new development, or had she been blind to it all this time?

A fic exploring what might have occurred had Anthony had a similar discussion with Edwina as he had with Kate in the book prior to their marriage.
TV canon with some inspiration taken from the books.
The three Sharmas made a swift exit to the house followed by Lady Danbury making some excuse to head inside as well. At their absence, with only his family left to witness, Anthony brought a shaking hand to his brow and took several steps away on the lawn, trying to maintain a semblance of composure whilst trying not to vomit.
She had dreams of the family, the house, the parties, the roles and duties of being viscountess. And dreams of him doting on her, being an engaging and caring father, making her laugh and swoon and all the things a proper love should do to a woman.
Was everything else worth the lack of love in her marriage. Could she merely stay friends with him while he fathered her children, while she dealt with the stresses and demands of being a new wife and head of a family?
As she approaches thirty, dedicated nurse Ellen Sutton's life is how she wants it - well, almost. Her younger sister, Carrie, seems to have it all sorted though: a successful hair business, a devoted new boyfriend and a rosy future together. Even Ellen's brother, Bodhi, is settled with his petite, super-chill chef girlfriend, Ingrid. So why does Ellen suddenly give up her career and family for the red dust and toil of an outback cattle station? She's never run from anything before - it's new territory in more ways than one.
This trip won't be the dream camping holiday for any of them. But one way or another, it will show them the truth. The Wrong Sister is a heartfelt story about dreams, the importance of family and finding your true self.

Both books are about the uniquely multi-layered and complicated relationship between siblings, one told from the point of view of Lucy, the well-meaning, hapless younger sister in Smaller Sister, and the other, from the point of view of Charise, the energetic, cat-loving and inexplicably mean older sister in Bad Sister. I chat with Ben to get his take on these two engrossing sisterly reads.
Tasha's married with two children and still living in her home town near Bristol. While Alice is a high-flying scientist travelling the world with her equally successful husband. But each would trust the other with their life.
So when Tasha and husband Aaron want a break and Alice offers to stay in their home with the kids, Tasha knows they're in safe hands. But she couldn't be more wrong. The call from home is unexpected: Alice and her husband Kyle have been attacked. Alice is in intensive care. Kyle is dead.
Rushing to Alice's bedside, Tasha finds the police trying to piece events together. She can't think why anyone would attack her sister. Then the note arrives, addressed to Tasha: It was supposed to be you .
You also need to put yourself first sometimes. You and your husband are having a difficult time with fertility issues, and prioritizing yourselves is important. That being said, supporting family and the ones we care about is important, so I would just encourage you to be absolutely certain you won't regret missing the gender reveal for your niece or nephew. If you're confident you are OK missing the event, try to drop off a gift before or after to show your support for your sister-in-law and her husband. That feels like a fair compromise if it's doable.

Need some really good advice? Look no further than Dear Life Kit. In each episode, we pose one of your most pressing questions to an expert. This question was answered by Rachel Wilkerson Miller, editor-in-chief of Self magazine and author of The Art of Showing Up: How to Be There for Yourself and Your People. This conversation has been edited for length and clarity.
We only had space for 100 people at our destination wedding, so we planned on having a child-free event, with just a few exceptions for very close family. That included my fianc's half-sister and her 12-year-old son.
The due date for RSVPs came and went, and we hadn't heard back from her, so we counted them out. But a week later, I heard through the grapevine that not only was she coming with her kid, she was bringing her boyfriend (who my fianc didn't even know about) and his kid, and they'd already booked their hotel and plane tickets. I was pissed.
On the whole, what the letter writer did was the right thing to do. In general, it's important to stick with the rules you've set when you're hosting because that's what everyone's expecting you to do.
The letter writer should have expected that this was probably going to cause some bad blood [in the family], but not necessarily five years of it. This makes me wonder what her tone was when she first communicated [that the sister couldn't come]. Did she make the person feel guilty? Did she continue to bring it up?
So what can you do to smooth this over and move forward? Look for an opportunity, whether it's inviting the sister and her kid to an upcoming event or sending her a nice holiday card at the end of the year. Make an effort.
You could also [be more direct and] say, "Hey, I feel like there's been tension [between us] ever since the wedding. I want to have a relationship with you and move forward. That was a tough call, but it felt like it was the best one at the time. But I'm sorry that it hurt my relationship with you, and it's still hurting five years later. I would love for us to find a way to move forward. Is that something you want? What do you need from me to make that happen?"
When you approach people from a place of genuine curiosity and a little bit of vulnerability, they're usually fairly responsive. Even if the sister is like, "No, you suck. I never want to talk to you again" or "I'm not over it yet," you can at least feel like, "OK, I've tried. I've asked them what they need."

I have been trying to take care of my sister which meant going to her house at least 3 times a day to help her get up and out into the living room, then to go cook her dinner and do laundry and other household stuff and then I had to go back over there around 10pm to get her back into her bedroom. She walked with a walker in the house but was having great difficulty.
Around the middle of October she had a serious fall and hit her head very hard. Half her face was purple for a month. She ended up in the hospital for a few weeks. They suggested a nursing home but she flat our refused. She insisted on going home.
The PT staff insisted she could navigate around the house with a wheelchair. She absolutely cannot. I ended up having to walk behind her with the wheelchair so she could sit down every few steps. It took forever to get to the bedroom and back. Plus she insisted on having a commode in the living room next to her chair and another one next to her bed.
Well after about 2 weeks of this, she fell again and laid on the floor for over 2 hours before I found her. Back to the hospital again. I told her it was too much and she couldn't go on like that. She agreed to go to a rehab in a nursing home for a short term.
Anyway, when my daughters and I went to see her a few days ago she started crying and begging me to go home. She said she can manage by herself and won't ask me for any help which is a joke. She insisted she could get herself in and out of bed and dressed and walk or use the wheelchair. The nurses and aides and pt staff all say she absolutely cannot. They said she will fall. She says they are lying.
I told her it's just not safe. She lives in a big two story house where she just uses the living room and bedroom. She goes from bed to chair to bed. It doesn't make sense. I told her that she needs to be where she can be safe and that is not it. She is furious with me and won't even speak to me unless I ask her something.
