Francesca x Michael
they always feel each other’s presence in the room and it doesn’t take any time or effort to find the other; they’re just drawn together
michael only gets fran blue jewelry to match her eyes (“though nothing comes even close to as beautiful”)
the one who wakes up first always brings the other coffee/tea in bed
they can’t let themselves talk about their first pregnancy until long after fran’s showing
the night after john’s born, michael and fran lie in bed holding each other, crying with utter relief and joy
they’re the hottest couple in the family. period.
even though they’re the quietest of the 8 couples, they have a special relationship with each of the others
francesca tells michael that she loves him every single day
they pass away on the same day at a rather old age, unable to live without their other half
Gregory x Lucy
Gregory and Lucy sleep entangled in each other’s arms every night no matter how hot it is
During Lucy’s first pregnancy, she and Gregory build a treehouse for the kids and it’s potentially where some of their children were conceived
Gregory and Lucy’s favorite holidays are mother’s and father’s day
Hyacinth gifted Gregory and Lucy a tandem bike to make fun of them for being “attached at the hip” but they unironically love it
Lucy spends the first few months of being a Bridgerton by learning and memorizing everything about every member of the family- their name, birthday, interests, favorite things- and she’s the only one to know all of that information by heart
Gregory and Lucy love to take long walks together where they just talk about everything and nothing
When Gregory and Lucy apologize for not having a kid to name Hyacinth after (post 2nd epilogue), Hyacinth just smiles, gives them a hug, and with a slightly threatening tone says, “It’s fine, there’s only room for one Hyacinth in this family”
Hyacinth x Gareth
Both Greg/Lucy and Hyacinth/Gareth are the ones the niblings go to first when they want to hide something from their parents- partially because they’re the youngest and partially because they know what it’s like to want independence from the family
Hyacinth’s hyper-competitive when it comes to game night and Gareth just kinda goes along with it cause he’s staring at her with heart eyes constantly
When Hyacinth’s sad about not finding the jewels Gareth says “well you are the jewel of my heart<3” and she kicks him
After they move into Gareth’s family house, they make a plan to [redacted] in every room in the house
Hyacinth and Gareth’s favorite thing is to cook dinner together
Gareth is the uncle that everyone knows will put aside whatever’s going on in his life to have a chat, play a game, etc
Gareth cries when he gets the letter from Hyacinth about Lucy’s birthing story in the second epilogue
Violet feels the most at home visiting Hyacinth and Gareth
“I am asking you to marry me because I love you,” he said, “because I cannot imagine living my life without you. I want to see your face in the morning, and then at night, and a hundred times in between. I want to grow old with you, I want to laugh with you, and I want to sigh to my friends about how managing you are, all the while secretly knowing I am the luckiest man in town.”
