    Summary

    Katniss was good at paying off debts. It was the Seam way. But the debt she owes the Baker's son is a heavy one, and paying it off only looks more difficult now that he's the winner of the 74th Hunger Games.

    Peeta Mellark has everything now—food, fame, and a house in the Victor's Village.

    The only thing he's missing is the girl he mentioned in his interview.

    Summary

    I am seventeen years old. I was in the Hunger Games. Twice. I was captured. I'm supposed to be the Mockingjay.

    Or at least that's what everyone has told me about the last year of memory I've lost. They've told me a lot and nothing. Prim, Gale, the town drunk, all these strangers from a grim District that isn't home.

    The only one who seems to be giving me space is Peeta Mellark. The boy with the bread. My co-victor apparently. Among other things.

    After her rescue from the Capitol, Katniss has lost a year. A very eventful year. And between the videos, and slow return of her memories, it seems that Peeta Mellark is the only person who knew what to do with her.

    Summary

    Panem taught their bodies to endure. The Games taught their bodies to be weapons. The war taught their bodies to be pieces.

    In the calm that follows the war, they learn how to let their bodies be theirs. And like everything else, this leads them to each other.

    Summary

    If the star crossed lovers from district 12 never went into the games, if they were never pitted against each other, doomed to fight and kill each other, if their stars weren’t crossed at all, what would have happened anyway?

    Keeping Katniss's family fed without tesserae is not easy and Peeta's parents are pushing him to marry a merchant girl as soon as possible. The best way to escape starvation and a prison of a marriage is to marry each other, but that would require Katniss to let go of a promise she made to herself a long time ago, to never marry anyone.

    Summary

    Just as Effie Trinket’s hand reached for the slips, a slight gust of wind stirred the air, and a spirit tinkled a wind chime—its ringing whispering a different fate into the breeze.

    In District 12, the Games never came for Katniss Everdeen.
    As the Capitol tightens its grip and rebellion begins to stir, Katniss is left to reckon with who she is, what she believes in—and whether love is something she can afford in a world where survival is never promised.

    (AU — Never Reaped. This would have happened anyway.)

    Summary

    He chokes on all the words he can’t bring himself to say. What could he say that would convey to her the enormity of his love? She is his entire soul, living outside his body.

    “Sometimes I am overcome,” he admits, desperate. ”But never doubt that I am so proud of you. Please, Penelope, I could not bear it.”

    Or: In the aftermath, Colin struggles to come to terms with being Lady Whistledown's husband.

    Summary

    Penelope has been in a terrible car accident. While she recovers from her injuries in the care of Violet Bridgerton, she also has to contend with the fact that she can't remember the last eighteen months of her life.

    Colin flies to be by Penelope's side to help her during her recovery. He hasn't seen or spoken to her in over a year since they had a painful falling out. She's seemingly happy to see him as she doesn't remember that they are no longer speaking, and Colin is too scared to tell her the truth.

    Meanwhile, Penelope has managed to heal years of trauma between herself and her mother, finally reconciling a challenging relationship into one of a truly loving mother and daughter. However, she remembers none of it and wants nothing to do with Portia, leaving her heartbroken.

    As Penelope recovers with Colin's help, the two manage to form an even stronger bond, making it more difficult for him to tell her the truth, while she struggles to heal and maybe even get her memories back.

    Summary

    “I can sleep out here—you should take our bed,” she offered.

    “I would not dream of it,” he replied stiffly.

    She shifted uneasily, fingers twisting together. “But the settee is small and you are—"

    “It is not befitting of a lady of your station,” he bit out, unsure why she would not cease.

    “But—"

    “Truly, Penelope, I will not hear of it.”

    Post 3x07: Strained by betrayal and the aching distance between them, Colin spends the first week of their marriage torn between anger and an unyielding love he can’t ignore. Their unresolved tension comes to a head during a confrontation over the settee. As their heartbreak unfolds, Colin must decide how to honor his feelings while taking the first steps toward healing what feels irrevocably shattered.

    Summary

    "It’s been so long that I don’t even know how to start… It would be different if I could talk to her face to face, but I can’t just catch a plane and knock on her door. Besides, she must be different now, you’ve seen how confident and gorgeous she looked. She’s famous, she has a boyfriend… I’m just the guy who betrayed her trust.”

     

    OR

    Five years after Colin and Penelope had a falling out, she's back in London for work. Their lives have changed drastically during that time, but Colin is determined to get her back as the dear friend she once was or, ideally, -now that he's finally realised the extent of his feelings for her- something more.

    So much more.

    Summary

    After Penelope falls out with Eloise over her popular gossip blog, all the Bridgertons cut contact with her. It's the worst thing that has ever happened to her, but after a few months of wallowing, Penelope moves to Scotland and buys a book shop and gets on with her life. It turns out she can live without the Bridgertons and she's happy enough with the new life she's cobbled together. No one knows anything about her here and that's how she likes it: complete and total separation from her life back in London and her old online persona.

    That is, until she spots Colin Bridgerton at the coffee shop next door.

    Summary

    Penelope knows him. She knows herself.

    And it's been years since she has seen him in the flesh while he's been single, and fear is swirling in her gut. Fear that the flame of her childhood crush may have been dulled by a string of nameless women ending in Marina, but has not been entirely stamped out. In fact, his engagement ending might just throw gasoline on it.

    Still, she supposes, she'll have to find out the state of things soon enough. It's only sensible.

    ***

    Colin returns to London after breaking his engagement to Marina. Penelope just wishes she knew why.

    Summary

    A series of vignettes about various times when Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington have danced together.

    Vignette #1 (FLUFF AND HAPPY): Portia Featherington has arranged a dancing lesson for her daughters with the three oldest Bridgerton sons; Penelope learns what it means when someone says their heart fluttered.

    Vignette #2 (KINDA SAD): Penelope learns how to be steady for a dance partner as the Bridgertons cope with the untimely death of their father.

    Vignette #3 (FLUFF): Daphne has learned what's sure to be the hottest dance of 1813, and is determined that Penelope and Colin will learn it too. A.K.A. What's more scandalous -- writing letters to your friend of the opposite sex, or the waltz?

    --

    I will write these as they pop into my head, so I don't want to set a number as of now! Each chapter will be a separate vignette, though, so you can read this first one like a one-shot. :)

    Summary

    “This is not happening Colin. I am not going to play any part in this, do you hear me?”

    “Of course, nobody would expect you to fall over at my feet, especially in light of my unforgivably rude comments last Season.” Colin said, all reason and calm as he collected his hat from a footman, “And what would be the entertainment in that? You must be permitted to test my mettle as a suitor. Indeed I am beginning to look forward to the chase.”

    “There will be no entertainment! No chase!” Penelope protested, panic steadily rising within her. “Colin-”

    “Good day, Miss Penelope.” Colin smiled, familiar laughter and devilry dancing on his handsome face. She watched in mute outrage as he tipped his hat to her and strolled out her front door.

    After his careless words ruined Penelope's prospects on the marriage mart, Colin is determined to do everything he can to restore her reputation and to find her a good match, even if it means pretending to court his best friend.

    However, outside forces with a grudge against the Bridgertons inadvertently transforms a wallflower into the most coveted prize of the London Season of 1815.

    Summary

    “Penelope is intelligent and lovely,” Mother said, a knowing sparkle in her eye. “The gowns she has chosen this season certainly make her look like the woman she has become.”

    “I had, uh, not noticed.” A muscle ticked in Colin’s jaw, betraying the lie as did his stutter. The effort he’d put into not staring at Penelope’s lips and breasts the last several weeks had been rewarded with tortured dreams where he looked, touched, and kissed—but never to his satisfaction.

    And now that he had experienced his first real taste…“She is Pen,” he said, a reminder to himself.

    She is your friend.
