Summary
Stede had always seen the Door. It lurked in the corner of his vision, alive in his periphery. Sometimes, when he was feeling particularly small and the world particularly difficult—goose blood splattered on his face, rope burns on the backs of his hands—it emerged as something he could feel and touch.
In those moments, the Door stood sure and proud, all saltworn wood and rusty nails. It beckoned, inviting Stede’s grip to its handle with the scent of brine and seaweed. Upon the lintel, in knife-carved letters, were the words: BE SURE.

Summary
Colin had asked her to take his virginity.
Not lose it with her, like throwing it in the bottom of the closet with the old school shirts unworn for years, or like a treasured bracelet, adored until it falls off one day never to be seen again. Take. Like it was his to give and hers to claim. Like she could cherish it.
And she’d said yes.

Summary
From the way he told it, Colin Bridgerton thought he was travelling to escape the boundaries of his small world. But being on the road, it seems, is lonely and he finds himself thinking again and again of home… of Penelope.
It starts as nothing more than texts, a way to share their days and feel as if there is someone else somewhere listening. But maybe it was always more. Maybe all they needed was an ocean between them to realise what had been there all along.
Or; five conversations separated by distance and one with very little distance at all.

Summary
Colin's feeling disengaged from his job, Pen's feeling disengaged from her job, and yet the Bridgerton sibling group chat really only cares about whether they're going to get engaged to each other. Are they sneaky about this? No, not at all. Do they have too much going on in their own lives? Oh, definitely. Will this stop them from being absolutely deranged about it? The answer may surprise you (it won't).

Summary
“Look,” he says, his voice low, his eyes cast down. “You’re not, like, wrong, exactly.” His cheeks are flushed a delightful pink, and Penelope thinks, not for the first time, how good he would look in makeup. He has the features for it, cheeks begging for blush and those full lips. Long, fluttering lashes.
“Wh-what?” she stutters, the intoxication of having him this close making her lose it, just a little.
“Since Marina, I can’t… I can’t. You know. Finish.”
Penelope blinks at him. “Um. Okay.” She doesn’t know what to say.
“I kind of have this pretty specific thing I need to happen for me to, you know.” God, he’s still speaking. Colin Bridgerton is talking to her about his orgasm. The negronis are suddenly making themselves known in her limbs and chest. She feels woozy. Are they really talking about this? “And usually I have a way I manage it, but since Marina it’s just not working.” He bites his lip and for the first time since he leaned over the bar, his eyes flicker to hers nervously. “It’s actually making me go a tiny bit insane, I think.”
OR: Colin can't come. Penelope offers to help - as friends, of course.

Summary
“Mr Bridgerton? Colin?”
He almost did not recognise her. She looked very different — pretty red curls bobbed fashionably; cheeks and lips stained with a little rouge; a day dress in a lovely mauve colour that made her eyes seem bluer, somehow — but it was her scent that threw him off. Now that he thought about it, he could not quite recall what Penelope Featherington actually smelled like (he had not seen her in years, after all). She was so often at Bridgerton House that all he could summon was the same lilac smell that his mother and his siblings bore, but of course there must be other notes he was forgetting.
Still, he was fairly certain she had never smelled like this: vetiver and geranium, sharp and green and floral.
Not a bad smell by any means — just not Penelope’s. Even though he could not recall her scent, he knew certainly this was not it. She must be wearing perfume. It befuddled him so much that he realised he had been staring at her silently for a lot longer than was polite, especially for an old family friend he had not seen in ages.
