Summary
From the moment Michael and Penelope meet, they feel an instant connection. All they have to do is fall in love and live happily ever after.
Easy, right?
Well except that they’re both destined to be unloved. One is a dejected fuck boy looking for a marriage of convenience to ease his guilt, the other is an unwanted wallflower turned forgotten spinster who wants nothing to do with marriage, they’ve both declared that they’re in love with other people, Penelope’s mother insists she become her caretaker, they can’t communicate for shit…
Oh, and as soon as we get to the good parts 🔥 Colin shows up.

Summary
“No way you think you know her best. I mean I know y’all are tight, but shit, I live with this woman. I know her inside out. I know all her dirty little secrets.”
Beth gawks at that. “What dirty little secrets?”
“Fine, let’s do this,” Annie says, ignoring Beth’s outrage to sit up straight. “Twenty questions. Winner gets to make the profile and find her a date.”
Rio’s eyes gleam at that, and he immediately moves to shake Annie’s hand.

Summary
“This is the last time,” she says with a soft whine.
His hand wanders until his fingers slide beneath her leggings to cup bare skin, before responding with a soft squeeze. “Uh-huh.”
“I’m serious.”
She wants to mean it, but her tone is all wrong and she’s not quick enough to swallow the shiver that slips out of her when his stubble grazes the side of her neck.
His other hand rises to cup her jaw, fingers curling around her neck to hold her still. When his lips move over hers they’re warm and wet.
“I thought Tuesday was the last time?”

Summary
This started off as a one-shot snapshot of a fight I imagined between Anthony, Colin, and Penelope. AU set in modern times. In this imagining, Pen and Anthony bonded over broken hearts and Colin found out they've been seeing each other. I decided to turn it in a full story.
I've just had this scene going around in my head so I decided to write it out. Plus I feel like there should be more Penthony stories out there, so here's a bit of one more.
The line I really wanted to work with was "You were everything to me and I was nothing to you."
Let me know if you think I should come up with the rest of this version of the story!

Summary
The wedding to Miss Edwina Sharma has just been called off and, most importantly, Kate has left. Viscount Anthony Bridgerton has nothing to do to drive away his heartache but think and drink.
Miss Penelope Featherington hopes the man of her dreams is finally willing to get to know her better, but at the same time she may be losing her best friend to some foolish games. Meanwhile, she also has a business to run.
Their paths seem to keep crossing, sometimes completely accidentally, sometimes wholly and entirely planned. They slowly discover that they have much more in common than they both initially believed and that perhaps, there might not be anyone in the ton who could understand the other better.
A deep friendship ensues that comes to mean the world to Penelope, especially when she loses everything else.
Slow burn. Canon divergence after around s2e6.

Summary
“‘I’m a Targaryen,’ he says finally, the words smarting along his tongue, even now. A need and an uncertainty all at once. ‘And she – ’ He stops, swallows. ‘She is nothing,’ he finishes tightly, the untruth a tremulous exhale as it leaves him.” - Jon and Sansa. Like the curve of the horizon, when the moon breaks from beneath its bow.

It's the summer of Junior year and the sun is hot. But the tension between the captains of the male and female soccer teams is even hotter.

Two idiots being idiotic.

Summary
When his mouth leaves hers, her lips feel cold. And then it all comes rushing back to her—her common sense, everything that had happened the day before, and the sole, unchangeable fact that up until two days ago, this man had been her boss. And there’s also the fact that before that, he had been her worst enemy.
She swears, she swears to god that he looks at her mouth before he looks into her eyes again, and the nod he gives her is minute, barely there, before he turns back to the man in the corner, who had gotten a free show. But Sansa can’t find it in herself to care. Jon’s hand is on her back again.
“Mr. Thorne, I’d like you to meet my fiancée, Sansa Stark.”

Summary
Mama told her people couldn’t choose the life they were born into – and she and her siblings had been born into a very specific kind of life – but on the day she turned nineteen, Sansa Stark decided she could choose what life she led, and that she would not lead one that demanded closed casket funerals and armed guards and her big brother making deals with the devil while wearing that stupid goddamn ring.
Five years after Sansa leaves New York, a funeral brings her home.

When she learns why he signed her up for The Bachelor, she actually does. She manages to throw a (poorly aimed) bagel at his head at Sunday breakfast (to Arya and Rickon's delight and her mother's horror) before she realizes what she's doing.
“If you love Jon Snow so much, why don't you apply to go on?”
or, Robb signs Sansa up for reality TV because his favorite football player has been (reluctantly) wrangled into being the Bachelor
