    Summary

    After a shipwreck leaves them stranded on a deserted island, Belly and Conrad find solace in each other, forging a bond between them as powerful and untameable as the sea itself.

    Their eventual rescue is a miracle, but it comes with a price: returning to their old lives and pretending their time alone never happened. It turns out, the greatest challenge wasn't surviving the island—it's surviving each other in a world that has already written their story. What happens when the greatest threat to their survival is no longer the sea, but the truth?

    This story is AU and meant to fit in some time during Season 3 just before Belly's Bachelorette party.

    Summary

    Penelope Featherington has been quietly in love with Colin Bridgerton for nine years. She's written it all down—every small moment, every unreturned feeling—in a document meant for her eyes only. Colin, meanwhile, has spent those same years being charming and oblivious.

    Then Colin calls off his wedding and accidentally discovers what Penelope's been hiding. Suddenly, he can't stop thinking about the woman he never noticed. He wants to know her—really know her. And Penelope has no idea why he's finally paying attention.

    As friendship turns into something more, Colin faces an impossible problem: he's falling for her, but she doesn't know how he learned to see her. The truth might destroy everything. But the lies might be worse.

    Summary

    Belly hasn’t seen Conrad Fisher since the funeral. Since everything between them shattered in front of a house full of mourners.

    That was five years ago.

    She left for Paris and never looked back—until now.

    Back in Cousins for Jeremiah’s wedding, Belly finds herself face-to-face with the boy she once loved and swore to forget. The house is the same. The air still smells like salt and sunscreen. And Conrad is still Conrad. Older. Quieter. Still capable of undoing her without even trying.

    She thought she’d rewritten herself. She thought she’d moved on.

    But some memories don’t stay buried. And some first loves never really end.

    Summary

    After avoiding any sign of her past heartbreak for years, Belly returns home for Christmas and is surprised by an unexpected holiday guest. Will the spirit of the holidays bring them together, or is their reunion not meant to last?

    Just a short (belated) holiday story.

     

    “Conrad is here,” The only sound was the blinker as Steven navigated toward their next exit, “Say something.”

    “Here where?” Her heart was sputtering into her throat, “What do you mean?”

    The last time she had seen or spoken to Conrad Fisher was the morning of her wedding. Her almost wedding. It had been a goodbye.

    She had avoided the east coast for the most part since then. She had avoided him and their shared heartache. The act of avoidance had run its course. It was time to face the heart she broke, the heart she still yearned for.

    Summary

    Penelope Featherington may have only just turned 32 years old, but she’s come to a very important decision in her life. She’s ready to become a mother. She’s got a career that she’s passionate about and is completely financially independent and secure. All that’s missing is the man, but she’s done waiting on love. It’s time for Penelope to take matters into her own hands and do what she’s always done in her life—make her own dreams come true.

    Colin Bridgerton, one of her best friends, is entering a bit of a hiatus from his jet-setting career as a travel photographer. He’ll be permanently in place in London for the foreseeable future while, at 35 years old, he tries to figure out what he wants to do with his life. While his intention in finally sitting still for a while had been to work out what his professional goals are going forward, Colin’s quickly becoming fixated on a very different kind of aspiration for himself.

    --

    Or, the one where Penelope and Colin decide to make a baby “as friends.”

    Summary

    "She had way too much tonight. And he knew she would, she does this every time a guy breaks her heart. Or her ego, maybe. Her heart never really seems in it, which is confusing to him since Penelope does just about everything heart-first.

    Except dating.

    He wonders if that has something to do with her upbringing, her mother, a lack of love. Some sort of avoidance of it all, some sort of block.

    But still, every time. With Henry she drank every single beer out of his fridge. She hates beer. He held her hair back as she hurled for hours in the early morning. With Phineas she showed up at his already plastered, mascara stains on her cheeks as she smiled weird and wide and asked to come inside. With George she was calmer, but she still called him after drinking a whole bottle of wine by herself and he could tell she had been crying. It's always clear in her voice. In her eyes.

    Heart-first."

    Based on this Twitter prompt:

    "Drunk Pen: Colin is actually so good looking.
    Colin: …
    Pen: don’t tell him I said that
    Colin: I won’t"

    Summary

    Colin Bridgerton is expecting to have a relaxing holiday at Aubrey Hall with his family. There's just one variable he's not anticipating: he keeps stumbling upon Penelope Featherington in various states of undress.

    Penelope doesn't know why fate is conspiring against her to have Colin see her naked, but she has bigger things to worry about. Namely, how she is going to hide her feelings from Colin when they're becoming closer friends every day.

    After years of knowing each other, maybe they can finally strip down and see each other bare.

    Summary

    After Penelope falls out with Eloise over her popular gossip blog, all the Bridgertons cut contact with her. It's the worst thing that has ever happened to her, but after a few months of wallowing, Penelope moves to Scotland and buys a book shop and gets on with her life. It turns out she can live without the Bridgertons and she's happy enough with the new life she's cobbled together. No one knows anything about her here and that's how she likes it: complete and total separation from her life back in London and her old online persona.

    That is, until she spots Colin Bridgerton at the coffee shop next door.
