Summary
“And when you smeared my name in print, when you lied your way into my family—our family,” she spat, for it smarted most of all to regard Penelope as sister—a daily reminder the very nature of their relationship lived beyond her control. “Was that your gift to me?”
Post-S3 AU in which Colin never learns of Penelope's identity as Whistledown. With Colin none the wiser, the two live in apparent marital bliss. Through fleeting looks and snide remarks, Eloise makes her opinion of this clear—to Penelope, at least, if not to her baffled brother. During the summer weeks at Aubrey Hall, their unspoken animosity comes to a head in ways both unexpected and long-awaited.

Summary
Annie smiles demurely when Britta’s parents meet them on the lobby stairs, and they smile broadly back, thoroughly smitten. They insist on snapping photos with their iPhones, like it’s Britta’s senior prom and she’s got a fresh-picked corsage with Annie’s name on it. Britta turns her face aside, but Annie—with a look of saintly innocence—leans up on her toes to press a kiss to Britta’s cheek. It leaves a print in cool blue-red, just at the corner of her mouth.
For the camera, of course.

Summary
“I think I’m a…” Her shoulders heave. “I wanted to do it,” Annie says instead. “Which is stupid, I know it’s stupid, because you don’t...you’re not like that, obviously. You’re…” Annie raises red-rimmed eyes to Britta, her heeled boots and skin-tight jeans, the spill of bright hair down her shoulders.
“Do what?” Britta asks, quiet.
Annie’s shredding a sheet of paper towel into strips, fingers working feverishly. Her skin heats. “Kiss you,” Annie says.
She wants to take it back, after. I’m sorry, she would say. That’s crazy. I didn’t mean it. I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.
But she can’t bring her mouth to shape the words.

Because Ruth’s drowning in nothing; that’s common knowledge between them. And maybe sometimes Ruth wishes she could hold Debbie’s head underwater with her, if only for the company.

Summary
In your daydreams, Annie wears bubblegum lip gloss, and she laughs against your skin. Annie isn’t laughing now, and her breath is hot and tastes of vodka, and Abed and Troy are in the next room waging war between Yoshi and Princess Peach. You shouldn’t encourage her, like you shouldn’t stare at her mouth, like you shouldn’t let her lay her head on your chest when she’s had one drink too many, but you do anyway.
Because maybe you only know how to be selfish. You guess that makes Jeff your perfect match.
S4 Britta/Annie AU

Summary
“It makes me feel like a princess,” she admitted. “Just like in the stories. A fair maiden locked away in a far-off turret. Knowing that any strapping young knights wanting to court me will have to earn their way past the fierce, jealous dragon who guards my door. It’s quite comforting.”
Rhaenyra grinned sleepily. “A princess in a what now?”
Incredible. She could actually hear Alicent rolling her eyes. “In a high tower, yes, you’re very clever, Rhaenyra. Gods, why do I talk to you.”

Summary
Britta had an idea of how things were going to go. Annie went off-script, but that's okay.
