    Summary

    "Normally, I only have to think of you reading my letters for my muse to alight upon my shoulder and guide my quill across the page. You said once that there is so much more to say than what one can put into a letter… tell me, Pen… do you have nothing to say? Have my letters missed the mark? Your silence is most unusual, and I cannot help but feel perplexed, as I cannot figure out what could possibly be keeping you from responding… twelve letters, Penelope… one, or two is an accident… twelve is a punishment."

     

    Colin returns to London for the Season of 1815, hoping to reconnect with his friend Penelope - only to discover that everything has changed between them.

    Summary

    They started the dance silently. She wondered why he had bothered to ask her to dance at all if he didn’t want to talk. There was so much left to say, but none of it in polite company. And, most importantly, none of what she had to say mattered now. They were both married.

    “I almost forgot to congratulate you-”
    “You do not need to.”
    “But I must-” She insisted.

    “I’d really rather you didn’t.” He said sternly. Colin’s face was unreadable as he couldn’t meet her eyes. Instead she stared at his clenched jaw. She supposed she wouldn’t have wanted his congratulations either after her own wedding, not that he tried to offer any.
    ---
    1814: Colin Bridgerton realizes he is in love. It should be a joyful time, but with competition for Pen's hand and secrets that threaten to ruin them, the pair's far from a happily ever after.

    1816: Penelope Debling is trying to make peace with her new life as a Countess running an estate for an absent husband. She is determined to feel content, but when she has to host Colin Bridgerton, old feelings threaten to unravel her.

    This story will be told in 2 alternating timelines (complete with double ch drops!) until the first timeline catches up to 1816.

    Summary

    "Everyone talks in circles and everything is a euphemism. I don’t even know the proper names for things.”

    Colin helps Pen through the vocabulary of sex.

    (Smut with an earnest premise, and with humor and fluff sprinkled throughout)

    Summary

    'My husband used to write me long love letters as well.'

    Colin flinched, the pen slipping from his hand at the sound of her voice. The housekeeper stood over him, holding onto a silver tray.

    ‘I beg your pardon?’ he said.

    ***

    OR:

    Although Colin sends letters like clockwork, he receives no reply from his friend, Penelope Featherington.

    Is this what it feels like to lose one's mind?
