🛠 Is there a scene or anything in the WIP you are struggling with right now?
I'm working on a Theloise Hunger Games AU (title: Born To Die) and the reaping scene (where tributes for the upcoming Games are chosen, in case you're not familiar) is kicking my ass right now lol. It's a very intense scene in both the movie and the book so I want to do it justice but it also makes me want to pull my hair out and scream into a pillow. 🤡
Anyway, here's a snippet!:
“Penelope Featherington!”
The name rang through the air, a death sentence.
It was her first day of school, and Eloise Bridgerton, four years old and stubborn as a rock, marched up to a short, redheaded girl with her nose in a book.
“I’m Eloise Bridgerton,” she announced, sticking her hand out for the other girl to shake. “And you are?”
“Penelope Featherington,” she replied, sounding surprised as she shook Eloise’s hand.
“We,” Eloise sat down next to Penelope, “are going to be the best of friends.”
this mf aint even looking at the fuckin pamphlet ....... 🙄

Now, stolen from home, she must survive until she can escape the “Prince of Pirates” Captain Sharpe and finally live a life of freedom.
I am also procrastinating actually writing. If you’ve multiple works in progress you can give a different answer every time!

🍄 ⇢ 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

Here's a snippet:
They lost track of time, then, arguing for the sake of arguing. “The two of you bicker like an old married couple,” Francesca would say, to which Eloise would rather eloquently respond, “Fuck you.”

Okay but Derry Girls in the Bridgerton world, tho. The chaos that could happen people. The chaos. James has big ol' crush on Benedict because why not? Actually, I totally think James would have a crush on all the older Bridgerton lads because of how cool he thinks they all are. Even in another world Michelle still can't get laid. She tries but they all want marriage in the end. Who the fuck wants marriage? Also she may or may not have accidentally started a whee fire with a tray of alcohol once. Orla is the most sought after marriage candidate. The Diamond of the Season. Everybody was surprised. All the bachelors are smitten with her, pulled in by her Orla-ness. She just doesn't notice or even care. Erin sees Lady Whistledown as her personal rival. Tries to start her own papers. Almost gets arrested. Claire and Penelope are constantly told they look alike. Neither one can see it. Claire is the only person Lady Whistledown doesn't put in her papers. Sister Michael is still Sister Michael. She's still the most intimidating person to exist. Even Eloise is intimidated by her.
