    Summary

    "You realize you have a female roommate, right?"

    He dragged his eyes along her body, his dark gaze making her involuntarily shiver. His eyebrows raised and he locked his eyes on hers again, his smirk downright sinful. "I'm well aware you're a female, Pen. Believe me."

    Summary

    Really, it was inevitable she was going to slip up at some point. When you’re travelling with a group of people who are psychically connected by mind-flayer tadpoles, somewhere along the line, someone is going to accidentally read someone’s mind.

    But did it have to be him? And did it have to be that?

    Summary

    “Well, I heard in town that you were looking for some help digging a well. And I thought I might provide my services.”

    Penelope stared at him. “Now why on God’s green earth would you want to do that?” she asked, more bluntly than was perhaps proper for a young lady. “We can’t pay you.” Their father had left them with almost nothing, save this land and the house they were standing on. It was a pretty nice house - better than some of the others in the area - but life was hard.

    He shook his head and turned his hat over in his hands. “No, I didn’t expect you could. I hoped you might instead pay me in kind.”

    Penelope’s cheeks flushed red and she looked down, her hands smoothing the faded yellow cotton of her day dress. She didn’t suppose he meant what it sounded like he meant, being a gentleman and all, but the idea of Colin Bridgerton taking that sort of payment from her made her cheeks hot.

    Summary

    Penelope had no last name.

    Left in the woods at only four years old to die, a now twenty-two year old Penelope has been travelling the continent as a healer, with no memory of her past, wanting nothing more than to help others and to protect her heart from any more of the loss and pain she had endured. That is until she meets a handsome nobleman in the markets and her entire world changes, and all the secrets that she had thought lost to the past are slowly revealed.

    Summary

    Colin whispered. “She won’t look at me.”

     

    Anthony’s heart lurched for his brother. The poor poor fool, in love with his best friend and unable to see it. Anthony understood that feeling all too well. He still shuddered to think of what would have happened if he hadn’t come to his senses and professed his love to Kate.

     

    “When we danced, when I all but forced her to, she looked at my waistcoat and told me all was well. When I visited her home, she nodded politely and looked pointedly at her mother’s wallpaper. Today morning at Hyde Park, she spoke at length about her being perfectly fine while staring at my shoes.” Colin said softly, his own eyes downcast, focussing on some inane spot on the mahogany table.

     

    Colin Bridgerton returns from his tour and realizes his dearest friend wants nothing to do with him. Who better than his meddlesome family to give him advice on how to rectify this situation.

    Summary

    Penelope watched Colin throw her one last pained look before allowing himself to be removed from his perch at her side.

    “You don’t know who we are?” Eloise said before the woman could speak again. There was something flat in the delivery, as though she didn’t quite believe it. Or couldn’t.

    Summary

    In a world where the marriage ritual leaves a permanent mark on you, the word that reflects your match’s first impression of you appears in your skin.

    —•—

    Penelope had known since she was eight years old who she would marry. She had heard stories about him, how brave and noble he was, and spent her whole life in love with the boy in the picture.

    Something that had never crossed Penelope’s mind, however, was the possibility that Colin Bridgerton would be disappointed upon meeting her.

    “Speak now, Penelope, with clarity and conviction. What is the word, bestowed upon you by the gentleman ordained as your match, that defines you in his eyes?”

    The celebrant’s voice suddenly felt like a distant hum, her vision blurred by the tears welling up in her eyes. On her wrist, visible to anyone close enough to read it, was written her word with golden letters.
     

    Shallow.

    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

    There lay in Penelope a sickness, or so she had been told.

    A very specific kind that only this physician, as he called himself, could potentially be willing to alleviate for her, if there were any hope at all. At least that was what the flyer had said.

    A gentleman by the name of Mr Bridgerton had developed a technique of stimulatory effect to relieve the sufferings of women. Of sharp tongues and short tempers gone in a few months or less, within three sessions with his special apparatus.

    Summary

    With her boyfriend Alfie away at the South Pole, Penelope Featherington is bored of going to movie industry parties on her own.

    She hires an escort, just some arm candy to keep her company, look at her adoringly, and tell people how amazing she is at every opportunity.

    His name is Colin.

    --

    The title comes from the song Black Limousine by Dragonette and there will be more Dragonette lyrics scattered through this story (and a few others besides). Have a listen to the Black Limousine playlist on YouTube.
