    Summary

    Penelope shifted slightly in her sleep on the bench, and Colin immediately leaned forward to keep her from falling. The seat was small and uncomfortable, but for the moment it served its purpose well enough. The idea of taking her away from London to protect her had come to him suddenly after an entire day spent trying to determine how best to save her. He was certain she did not want this marriage. She simply could not.
    Or..
    Colin kidnaps Penelope in the dead of night from her own home, solely to protect her... but does his sweet, innocent friend truly need protection?🖤

    Summary

    Colin lifts his hand with the cigarette to his lips at the same that his eyes open, his head turns, and he first notices Penelope standing there watching him.

    "Fuck," he mutters before looking away from her and to the window. "I'm sorry."

    She isn't sure what he's apologizing for really—for smoking or fighting with Marina or maybe both. Regardless, it breaks a little part of her to see him looking so dejected and sad. There's a light missing from him, a weight pulling him down and making him seem smaller. It's not fair, though. He's so inherently good. He doesn't deserve to feel like this. He doesn't deserve to be treated like this. He deserves—

    Penelope can't help but blink in surprise even at just the meandering path of her own thoughts, at the idea that just popped into her head about what exactly she thinks Colin Bridgerton deserves at this moment and what exactly she'd like to do to make him feel better. It's ridiculous, right? She shouldn't… She couldn't… But what if she did?

    --

    Flatmates Penelope and Colin take a winding, complicated, messy path on their friends to lovers journey.

    Summary

    Lady Danbury sets her tea cup in its saucer on the table and fixes Penelope with her intense gaze.

    "I'd like to sponsor you."

    Penelope chokes on her next swig of tea so badly that Lady Danbury rises, moving next to her and patting her back until her hacking abates. Penelope takes in a few steadying breaths, willing air into her lungs. She is sure she misheard, that the shock of her choking has altered her memory. "Pardon, my lady? You wish to…?"

    "Sponsor you. For the season."


    After Archibald Featherington loses the family fortune when Penelope is thirteen, the family is forced to adapt to life as members of the lower class. By nineteen, Penelope has become Madame Delacroix's apprentice, and her fine skills with a needle catch the eye of Lady Agatha Danbury. Debuting in society thrills and terrifies her in equal measure, as she knows nothing of how a proper lady should behave, but she wants nothing more than to escape from her cruel, embittered mother—and she is perfectly content to settle for a straightforward, comfortable marriage in order to do so.

    Enter Colin Bridgerton.

    Summary

    Penelope Featherington knows these three things to be true:

    1) She has no time or interest in swiping right on any dating apps to find her elusive soulmate
    2) Inventing a fake perfect "boyfriend" is the only way to get her nagging mother off her back
    3) The perfect man only exists in her fantasies

    So when he suddenly appears on an ordinary day, corporeal and literally manifested straight out her dreams, what the hell is she supposed to do?

    Summary

    Penelope is convinced to attend the university’s annual winter carnival under the promise she’ll see the rarely-in-London-anymore Colin Bridgerton. When she does spot him, however, he’s running the football team’s kissing booth.

    Which makes her want to throw up, quite frankly.

    Perplexingly, it also puts certain things into motion Colin discovers he is not prepared for.

    Summary

    Colin and Penelope had an unlikely friendship with a side of purely inquisitive, deeply scientific fascination. On Penelope's part anyway.  It was just an infatuation. Because of course she hadn’t fallen in love with him when she was eleven, or fifteen, or twenty-five.

    That would be ridiculous.

    They were just friends. That’s how friends behave.

    Right?

    But what if the fabric of their being was tied to the other? And even after the first fracture they both held on? What if it all came down to timing?

    OR:

    Penelope thinks this is the closest she’ll ever get to him.

    Colin thinks this is the closest she’ll ever let him get.

    Summary

    It wasn’t as if Mary was moving to another country, London was barely an hour and a half drive from her childhood home. It would be a bit longer now that her mother was moving into Jane’s guest house, but even then it really shouldn’t have been such a big deal. It wasn’t like her mother liked her very much anyway.

    Mary sighed again, and her uncle looked into the rearview mirror to ask “You alright back there?”

    There was concern in his eyes, something she never seemed to find when it came to her mother. They looked alike, but in moments like this it was obvious how different they were.

    “Yes, just nervous.” Mary responded.

    Her aunt reached back from the passenger side to give her hand a tight squeeze.

    “It’s normal to be nervous, Mary.” She smiled, “But trust me, you’ll thrive here.

    Or: Mary Bennet decides to move to London and just so happens to meet a handsome Irishman who works with her uncle... who knows what could happen?

    Summary

    The Gardiners make the match.

    It is not love at first sight, or second, or third.

    It is love that comes later - in the accumulation of shared steps and conversations in the dark. In a stranger becoming, without your noticing, the first person you want to tell things to.

    In having the deeply inconvenient realisation, somewhere in your marriage, that you have a crush on your spouse.

    Summary

    Pen nibbles nervously on her lower lip for another moment despite his urging. "It… I can't even say it out loud."

    "Say what out loud?" Colin asks exasperatedly. "I think we're past the point of politeness, Pen. Just out with it. Tell me what you're wondering about."

    Her cheeks somehow get even redder then, and suddenly he knows what she's going to say before she says it. He doesn't know how her blushing made the understanding sink in, but it did and he finds himself blushing in advance too. He also finds his eyes dipping surreptitiously to her cleavage before he yanks them back up again.

    "There is… something else that could help."

    Colin's breath catches and he nods slowly. "Uh huh…"

    "You…" Pen trails off as her hands fidget at her sides. "You could maybe… help me."

    Or, another fic with Colin being just the best friend ever and helping Penelope out of a sticky (milky?) situation.
