    Summary

    Penelope

     

    We're good.

     

    Colin

     

    Awesome!!

     

    You're the best Pen

     

    But enough of that

     

    Your soul mark must have come in by now right??

     

    What was it???

     

    Penelope frowned and looked the quill on her thigh, blinking back tears. It was strange, she'd spent so much of her life believing that she'd been born for Colin Bridgerton, and she knew now that he was born for her too. But he didn't want to be. And somehow, that hurt worse than him not being born for her at all.

     

    Penelope

     

    I didn't get one.

     

    Just another shitty thing I got from my dad.

     

    Or didn't get, depending on how you look at it.

     

    Colin

     

    Fuck

     

    Shit Pen I'm so so sorry

     

    Penelope

     

    It's okay, Colin.

     

    And so, at the age of twenty-one, Penelope knew two things.

     

    Colin Bridgerton was her soulmate.

     

    And he could never know.

    Summary

    Colin Bridgerton rarely dreamt of his father—certainly not in the last ten years. So when Edmund appeared, dapper as ever in an immaculate blue suit, Colin was caught off guard. But the familiar warmth in his father's eyes was shadowed by a deep, weary sadness—a look Colin had only seen once before, long ago, after a mishap involving Eloise's birthday cake.

    “You're in for a long night, my son,” Edmund said solemnly. “I wish things had been different—that you didn’t have to face what lies ahead alone.”

    What follows is a night Colin could never have imagined, as his late father warns him of three ghostly visitors who will arrive to help him confront the parts of his life that have gone astray. Is it just a dream, or something more?

    The Christmas Carol AU no one asked for—but maybe the one Colin needs.

    Summary

    A pile of boy and broomstick lay on the street’s cobbles, deposited squarely on top of her new hat. The boy bit of the pile groaned as he levered himself to his feet. He rubbed a hand through his chestnut curls, both in embarrassment and in an anxious check for spillage.

    Another boy, still sat on a broomstick hovering a foot from the ground, was in hysterics.

    “Nice one Bridgerton!” he wept.

    The first boy grimaced, but his green eyes still sparkled with humour. “Enough, Cedric,” he mumbled, then reached down and picked up Penelope’s hat. He dusted it down with his even dustier hands, then paused and abashedly handed it back to her before he could cause any further damage.

    “Sorry, that wasn’t very well done of me, was it?” He gave her a sheepish lopsided smile.

    It was in that moment, at eleven-years-old, as she took back her dusty new hat with shaky fingers, that Penelope Featherington fell in love.

    OR

    How you blinked and missed our favourite Featherington lurking with her quill in the background of the HP series…

    Summary

    In 1803, sixteen-year-old Benedict Bridgerton is spending the summer in Paris when the Napoleonic Wars are declared and he becomes a prisoner of war. The Bridgertons constantly worry about their missing brother, working to find a way to bring him home when suddenly the letters stop.

    In 1807, eighteen-year-old Sophie Baek is illegally sold as a maid to a family in Verdun, when she meets Benjamin Sojourner, a mysterious and handsome young Englishman who lost his memory in an accident three years earlier.

    In 1814, twenty-five-year-old Colin Bridgerton is touring France when Sophie Lefèvre, a happily married seamstress invites him home for dinner. Upon arriving to the Lefèvre residence, Colin is shocked to run into his long thought dead brother, Benedict, now happily married with four children and has no idea what the hell Colin is talking about when he calls him “Benedict” much less “brother.”

    How Colin is going to explain this one to the family is anyone’s guess.

    Summary

    'My husband used to write me long love letters as well.'

    Colin flinched, the pen slipping from his hand at the sound of her voice. The housekeeper stood over him, holding onto a silver tray.

    ‘I beg your pardon?’ he said.

    ***

    OR:

    Although Colin sends letters like clockwork, he receives no reply from his friend, Penelope Featherington.

    Is this what it feels like to lose one's mind?
