    Summary

    A certain author is turning 50 this month, so here I'm exploring an older Penelope with a younger Colin - a 15 year age gap. He's 21 when they meet and it's a slow burn, he falls first and she pushes him away, but if that premise gives you the ick, back out now please!

    Writing this for Penelope's birthday in Polin week and for my birthday soon! Still a work in progress but hoping to get it finished pretty soon (famous last words)

    Summary

    A year had passed, and life was slowly changing. There was no more Ardess, no more unhealthy competition, and no more twenty-four people who had been left behind in the university's damp earth. The nightmares were no longer as vivid as they once were, and things were starting to get better. Quincy had moved in with his aunt and her wife, no longer haunted by the Saints, and Beatrix was working at a local newspaper, hoping to forget everything about Ardess. Portia was in her third year, dreaming of graduating and moving in with her girlfriend. They were taking small steps towards a peaceful and stable life.

    "Ardess University is waiting for you to discuss the Phaeton Prize. Please contact..."

    Beatrix crumpled the letter. Let the Administration burn in Hell.

    Summary

    In 1813, Colin went to bed in Bridgerton House the day before Daphne's societal debut. When he awakens after what seems like a normal night’s sleep, he's in bed with Penelope, and everything seems strangely altered. When Penelope also awakens believing it to be the day of her own debut, the pair work together to figure out where-and when-they are.

    This work is part of the Falling Again series but does NOT require the reader to have read all the previous fics to enjoy this one. If you're interested in reading a fic about pre-season 1 Polin ending up in a post-season 3 world, this fic is for you!

    Summary

    Sequel to Inevitable

    Hijacked, tortured, bitter, and full of rage, Peeta Mellark was hurled back in time, determined to be the sole victor of the 74th Hunger Games. But no matter how hard he tried to fight it, he fell in love with the Girl on Fire all over again. Maybe he never stoped. And this time, Katniss wasn’t the only one who caught President Snow’s attention.

    With the second Quarter Quell approaching, Peeta must now use his fuzzy knowledge of the future to help the looming rebellion, warn District Twelve of the firebombs, and prepare to enter yet another arena. All while trying to ignore the tug from his chest always drawing him back to her.

    Peeta doesn’t plan on making it out of these final Games alive. He would rather die than give the Capitol another chance to recapture him and turn him into something he’s not. This time, victory isn’t about winning. It’s about finally showing them that he’s more than just a piece in their Games.

    Summary

    It's another hot summer at the lake and everyone is required to come.

    Penelope Featherington wants two things out of the annual summer trip to the lake house, to play with her adorable nieces and to be left alone by everyone else with a book and a lawn chair. Her mother and sisters seem determined to not let that happen.

    Colin Bridgerton wants to evade the personal questions from his too many siblings and go hide on a boat on the lake. However, every corner he turns, one of them is waiting.

    But in the cluttered yard between their two families' houses, they find the peace and relief they have both been desperately seeking in each other.

    Penelope and Colin have been best friends since they ran around barefoot every summer and a lot has happened in the two years since they last saw each other. But time doesn’t really matter when the person who knows you the best is back in sight.

    Summary

    DEAREST GENTLE READER,
    Ambitious Mamas rejoice! For the new Duke of Hastings has graced our fair city with his presence...His Grace exchanged pleasantries with plenty of our fine ladies, ever the consummate gentleman. And if his title or debonair countenance wasn’t enough, our fair Duke seems to also enjoy charity work! He was spotted on the dance floor, twirling a rather unassuming young lady in a most unfortunate canary frock. The name of the debutante is unknown and irrelevant to this author, except for the announcement that came at the end of their dance. The Duke is on the hunt for his Dutchess this season! One can only sympathize with the canary dressed debutante on what was likely her only twirl with His Grace, as he was swept away by this season’s newly debuted beauties immediately afterwards. This author wonders which brazen matchmaker shall rise to the challenge, for this competition is sure to cut a few innocent throats.
    Yours In Suspense,
    Lady Whistledown
