    Summary

    The Kiss Cam catches Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton in its red, heart-shaped frame. She’s mortified—after all, she’s been hopelessly in love with him forever. Meanwhile, he’s convinced it’ll be no big deal.

    And then the internet explodes.
 And then he explodes—into panic, confusion, and feelings he definitely did not plan to have.

    She fell first.

    But after one (1) unexpected kiss and the media circus that follows, he’s falling harder than he ever intended.

    Summary

    Penelope has spent half of her life alone in love with Colin Bridgerton. In an unexpected development, she finds herself falling into a friends with benefits relationship with his brother, Benedict.

    When the entire Bridgerton family gathers at Aubrey Hall for Christmas, Penelope included, she finds herself caught up in trying to keep her encounters with Benedict hidden from the family, preventing her feelings for Colin from spilling over, and making it through the holiday with some semblance of dignity.

    --

    The guest room in Aubrey Hall was familiar to Penelope at this point. When she was younger, she’d share with Eloise every time they visited. She was always her plus one. After they graduated secondary school, Violet made a big deal about her having her own room for their annual summer visits and any other holidays Penelope joined for.

    Moving around the room unpacking her items with a familiar cadence, she paused when she reached her toiletry bag. The box of condoms she’d hastily stashed in there stared back at her. Why had she packed them? This was absurd. She swore to herself she wouldn’t need them. That it was a family holiday and she was going to behave herself, not rouse suspicion.

    Summary

    He may have been a seasoned traveller, but this was the biggest disaster he’d seen at an airport in all his years traversing the globe. He’d been there since nine o’clock that morning, and hour after hour had gone by, with announcement after announcement stating a delay, then another, then another.

    “If they’re going to cancel it, just fucking cancel it,” he mumbled, turning around abruptly and knocking his large pack against something solid, hearing a loud grunt and promptly turning around to see a body topple to the floor, much to his dismay.

    “Oh my gods, I’m so sorry, are you okay?!” He reached his hand down to help the poor woman he’d apparently assaulted. She hesitated before taking his hand, letting him help her back up to standing, brushing herself off, then finally looking him in the eyes.

    His breath hitched as he took her in for the first time. She was probably the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen.

    ***

    A strangers to lovers, inspired by real-life never-ending flight delays. A sort-of ode to airports in general, and what a both magical and maddening place they can be. ✈️

    Summary

    As illogical as it is, the whole thing is Justin Timberlake’s fault.

    Wherein these two idiots watch the movie Friends with Benefits, discuss the merits (and lack thereof) of such a thing, and then decide, like the dummies they are, to maybe, possibly... give it a go?

    It goes about as well as one could expect.

    Summary

    If Penelope Featherington knows that Monday will end with her wearing Colin Bridgerton’s jacket (and only Colin Bridgerton’s jacket, at least according to every screaming gossip gremlin on the school’s social media), she might stay in bed. Or khs.

    But no. Fate, as always, has other plans.
