    Summary

    “But if you are not with child then the matter is out of our hands, Pen. What can either you or I do about it?”

    Silence fell.

    Penelope only continued to stare at him and Colin felt the ground suddenly give way beneath his feet as he realised what she was asking him to agree to. Why she had summoned him here this morning. Why she stared up at him now, trembling and white with nerves.

    Dear God.

    “Colin…please. Please. Will you...will you help me?”

    Summary

    Violet Bridgerton has had enough of her three eldest sons refusing to engage with the marriage mart. She has seen her daughters Daphne and Francesca married in the last four seasons but she wants more grandchildren and she wants them now.

    And so, in the week before the whole family and ton are due to descend on Aubrey Hall for the annual Hearts and Flowers Ball, Lady Violet has invited a select group of eligible ladies to the Hall to participate in a series of challenges where the ultimate prize is up for grabs: marriage to one of the three oldest Bridgerton brothers. Penelope Featherington is on her fourth year on the mart with no prospects.

    multichap fic I will correct the chapter count on update.
    Whistledown exists, Colin didn’t make any foolish declarations in the Featherington gardens, Penelope and Eloise are grand. Prudence is still unmarried. This started out as a purely crack fic but I accidentally kept adding plot and making myself cry. There is still quite a lot of crack though. If you crave period accuracy, sorry. I researched some bits with fervour and then hugged an anachronism or two for the giggles.
    I’m trying to be consistent, but I make the rules and my brain is wonky).
