    The BAU goes to Las Vegas for Rossi’s bachelor party.

    What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, except for the part where Hotch and Emily accidentally get married.

    He spends the next thirty days systematically obstructing the American legal system.

    Summary

    “But it wasn’t her laughter that stopped him cold.
    It was her hair.
    … A cascade of silver, cool and luminous, framing her face like moonlight poured over her shoulders.”

    Summary

    “It is true. This mystery woman has irrevocably stolen my heart. I will love her and no one else.”

    Kate cleared her throat. “Well then. Might you describe the lady for us?”

    “She was quite small, shorter than Hyacinth even. And she had the most stunning hair I’ve ever seen, rich red curls that tumbled over her shoulder and seemed to dance in the wind. She had bright blue eyes, clearer than the waters of the Mediterranean and twice as sparkling. She was truly a Venus statue come alive, a vision wrapped in pretty pink satin, a most womanly figure which could have only been sculpted by the gods.”

    "Brother, you jest."
    ...
    Or, in an alternative universe where Penelope was not childhood friends with the Bridgertons, Colin unwittingly enters himself into the Featherington Heir Race.

    Summary

    He sees his parents exchange glances. “Penelope is included in that,” Edmund reassures him. “She is practically one of us after all.”

    “Penelope,” he says slowly, as he tries to work out his words before he says them. “Is not my sister. And you said sisters.”

    Or

    The six times someone told Penelope or Colin they were like brother and sister, and the one time they truly, absolutely, positively proved they weren't.
