    Summary

    Penelope Featherington is a successful English teacher, Deputy Headteacher and single mum to an energetic 5 year old, Elliott. They venture to London for a few days of exploring and new experiences during the summer holidays.

    Penelope’s plans include a trip to museums, a boat ride, culture and new foods. Elliott’s plans include seeing as many dinosaurs as possible and eating lots of ice cream.

    What Penelope doesn’t expect however, is for her carefully managed and curated world to collide with the chaotic Bridgerton family due to chance meeting between Elliott and some of the next generation of Bridgertons.

    Penelope has spent years building a coat of armour to protect herself, and by extension Elliott, from everything negative that the world could throw their way. She is determined to give Elliott a totally different upbringing from her own. Her suit of armour also serves to cover the mental and physical scars, and closely guarded secrets, that she carries thanks to her past.

    Surely her armour can stay intact for a few days in London… surely?

    Summary

    What if instead of Penelope and Colin being the first to meet, they're the last?

    In this whirlwind romance (no literally, we're not taking ANYTHING slow) Penelope gets a job at Bridgerton Bridal boutique, and gets to know the Bridgeton family.

    Colin is traveling for work and sees a photo of her and nearly looses his mind. Unbeknownst to him, Hyacinth made up to Cressida that Penelope and Colin are dating, resulting in chaos.

    This is by no means a serious story. It's lighthearted, cutsey, and adorably insane... at least I think so.

    I hope you enjoy!

    Summary

    Glancing through the spyhole, Colin was pleasantly surprised to see his sweet, pint-sized neighbor standing outside his door holding a takeaway box. He quickly unlocked the deadbolt and the front door, giving her a smile as he briefly drank in the sight of her.

    Dressed down in a white knit cardigan over a loose faded shirt and leggings, her hair twisted up into a messy half bun, Penelope looked… different in a way, but still as charming as ever.

    Summary

    Modern AU

    Colin Bridgerton is a travel influencer, who is in love with his best friend. He knows that she would never see him as a series prospect though. She's smart and ambitious and she dates research scientists. He is also harboring another secret that isn't too keen on anyone finding out.

    Penelope has always wanted to be a published writer, but the modern landscape favors Social Media influencers. So she turned to her best friend, Social Media Influencer, Colin Bridgerton. If they start to fake date it'll give her the cred she needs to get a real book deal. It shouldn't matter that she's been in love with him since she was 16. She's never acted on her feelings before and this won't change anything. Right?

    This completely chaotic fic is a challenge to myself to see how many 100 prompt sentences I can fit into one fic.
