Summary
Penelope Featherington has been quietly in love with Colin Bridgerton for nine years. She's written it all down—every small moment, every unreturned feeling—in a document meant for her eyes only. Colin, meanwhile, has spent those same years being charming and oblivious.
Then Colin calls off his wedding and accidentally discovers what Penelope's been hiding. Suddenly, he can't stop thinking about the woman he never noticed. He wants to know her—really know her. And Penelope has no idea why he's finally paying attention.
As friendship turns into something more, Colin faces an impossible problem: he's falling for her, but she doesn't know how he learned to see her. The truth might destroy everything. But the lies might be worse.

Summary
Colin Bridgerton returns to Britain and is surprised to find that a certain Miss has struck a friendship with an eligible bachelor that is not himself. When he finds that the friendship might lead to courtship, he is perplexingly dismayed and accidentally interferes every chance he gets.
Penelope Featherington is actually looking forward to the London Season, even if she is basically a spinster. Last year she and Eloise became quick friends with Lady Lindsey, and she somehow found herself in correspondence with the Lady's younger brother, the handsome and scholarly Marquess of Stafford. And for the first time in forever, Penelope is able to push thoughts of the always absent Colin Bridgerton from her mind.
(Note: This is fic began well before season two, so it does not incorporate those events. Peneloise forever!)

Summary
The Bridgertons are all jetting off to the Scottish Highlands for Christmas and Penelope Featherington is coming with them this year. She's a close family friend and gets along famously with each and every member (young and old) with one significant exception-- the third eldest son, Colin Bridgerton. They may have been best friends as children, but now, in their mid and late twenties, they couldn't be further from friends. These days they can't even be in the same room with one another without trading verbal jabs that intensify steadily until someone literally has to pull them apart. After a lot of deliberation, though, Penelope accepts Violet's invitation despite this fact. She figures they'll be staying in a huge house and there will be a crowd of other people to distract herself with. What she can't possibly know, however, is that the storm of the century and a series of unforeseen events are going to make that house and that crowd much, much smaller.
