    Summary

    "It's a boy!"

    The nurses placed a bundle in Penelope's arms.
    He was perfectly healthy, which was a miracle considering that Penelope did not know she was pregnant until a few hours ago.

     

    Or
    The one where Penelope has a cryptic pregnancy.

    Summary

    What if the story was inverse?

    Penelope Featherington is admired and highly sought after in society while being friends with the unfashionable and garish Bridgerton family. There is a special friendship of more than ten years with Eloise and Colin in particular since they are the siblings closest in age to her and her brother.

    Yet what Penelope thinks is friendship is the deepest of unrequited love for Colin...until he overhears her put the final nail in his coffin of hope and he finally accepts that it's time to give up that dream.

    His final farewell and cold goodbye leaves Penelope's head spinning with unbidden thoughts and Colin is unsure if he can find anyone else that speaks to his heart as she always has.

    The timing of this finding is most inconvenient because there is no true escape for him since he is spending the off-season with her family in the country and avoiding her seems impossible - no matter how hard he tries.

    Summary

    Penelope, sweet Penelope, lay spread across her bed, bathed in the faint golden glow of the hearth. Her skin glimmered in the dim light, flushed and dewy, as though the heavens themselves had cast her in gold.

    She was perfect. A dream. A goddess spun from his most fevered fantasies.

    Except for the fact that there was a man on top of her.

    ***

    Colin’s fists clenched at the man’s shoulders, his gaze never wavering. “Give me one good reason why I ought not to duel him. He is a cad, Penelope. A rogue.”

    Penelope shook her head urgently, hair tumbling about her shoulders, wide-eyed and imploring. “Colin, he is you.”

    Summary

    "Colin Bridgerton would never dream of courting me," Penelope laughed behind her fan, ignorant to the very man hovering behind the shrubbery behind her, and even less aware of the way his heart shuddered in his chest. "Not even in your wildest fantasies, Lady Cowper."

    Colin gritted his teeth and resisted the urge to storm in there and shake the infuriating woman, the same woman who he, apparently, had been courting for the entire season and yet had no idea of his feelings for her.

    Bloody hell.

    ***

    Everyone knew that the spinster lady of the Featherington barony had no intentions of marrying and similarly, no man had any intention of marrying her.

    So why, pray tell, was the newest Bridgerton bachelor chasing after her skirts like she was some pretty little chit?

    Summary

    Penelope had been certain — certain! — that Colin would one day return her affections.

    When his head is turned instead by her cousin Marina, Penelope must admit she was wrong.

    After no small amount of crying, Penelope decides she will move on. That she will find a husband. That she will be kissed.

    One question lingers in the back of her mind — why on earth does Colin look so stricken to find her doing just that?

    Summary

    Its the Bridgerton Sisters monthly night out. What happens if Penelope decides she doesn't want to go and the girls (mostly Eloise) don't know how to take no for an answer?

    Well you just show up at her flat unannounced and attempt to drag her out, naturally.

    So how did all seven sisters get trapped in this coat closet anyhow?

    Rated Mature for schmexy talk and language.

    Summary

    They say karma always comes back to bite you in the end. Madame Bustier's class learns this the hard way after Lila Rossi's lies are exposed and a bigger, badder bully takes her place.

    Henri LeRoi is the handsome new guy. His first day at Francois Dupont, he sets his sights on the beautiful, endearing and mysterious Marinette Dupain-Cheng. Which would be okay-if he wasn't a reverse Lila. He torments the rest of the class ruthlessly behind her back, and if anyone tries to tell Marinette the truth, he makes it look like they're the ones bullying him. Marinette is so convinced by Henri's gentlemen act and blinded by lingering feelings of resentment of the past that she believes everything he says and disregards her friends' claims completely.

    Adrien knows he made a mistake when he chose not to help expose Lila. He's determined to not make that same mistake twice when Henri starts manipulating Marinette into turning on her friends. The question is, how does he do that without Henri turning the situation on him and the class and making them look like bullies like he always does? And why does Adrien feel jealous of Henri whenever Marinette flirts with him?

    Summary

    "They definitely put up with me as much as they do for you, since I’m your best friend and all.”

    “I wouldn’t say that, I’m pretty sure my mum and my siblings just genuinely like you,” El tells her before frowning. “Colin definitely likes you.”

    “W-what?”

    Colin. The Bridgerton that Pen is most definitely in love with, and has been since the moment they met. Actually, Colin was the first Bridgerton that she met. It had been a few days after she and her family moved in, the ghastly yellow hat her mum had forced on her flew straight into his face as he skateboarded by, knocking him into a puddle of mud. Her heart dropped, she ran straight over to him babbling an unintelligible apology, but to her surprise, he just laughed. And the moment Penelope heard it she fell in love. Eloise is her best friend in the entire world, obviously, but Colin never fails to bring a blush to her face and butterflies to her stomach, even when he’s not there.

    Case and point, this conversation. Luckily. Eloise doesn’t seem to notice. “Oh yeah, he really likes you"

    5 times other people tell Penelope how Colin feels about her, and the one time he tells her himself.

    Summary

    "Fife wasn’t done. “Or maybe you’ve gone soft—so soft, in fact, you can’t even keep your woman’s sharp little tongue in check. Perhaps it’s time you put a muzzle on the bitch-”
    The first punch landed before anyone could react. Fife stumbled back, clutching his jaw with a look of genuine shock. The room fell into stunned silence—no one had ever dared lay a hand on Fife, especially not Colin Bridgerton, arguably the most harmless of the Bridgerton brothers.
    “You don’t speak about my wife,” Colin growled, slamming Fife against the bar. “Not ever.”

    or: Fife insults Pen at a bar. Colin won't let anyone get away with disrespecting his wife.

    Summary

    “...we invest the said Mr. Colin Bridgerton, and the lawful heirs male of his body lawfully begotten, to the dignity, title, style, and honor of Marquess of Hartleigh…”

     

    His throat had gone dry. The words on the page did not make sense to him.
    “Um,” he tried, chuckling hoarsely. “Your Majesty, what is - I don’t…”
    “Yes?”
    Eloquence escaped him. “…what is this?”
    The Queen looked mildly annoyed. “Why, I should think it is obvious. You, Mr. Bridgerton, are to be the next Marquess of Hartleigh.”

    One accidental act of heroism, and Colin Bridgerton finds himself elevated to the British peerage. Yet the Queen’s reward comes with a price: as the newly minted Lord Hartleigh, he’s been given an ultimatum - produce an heir within the next eighteen months. And, of course, to do so, he requires a wife. Urgently.

    So why can’t he just pick a debutante and be done with it? And why is he far more interested in spending time in the very enjoyable company of his very good friend, Penelope Featherington?

    Summary

    In a society where only Alpha’s and Omega’s are destined mates, Penelope’s looming Beta dynamic is another cut in her dreams of a future being Colin’s mate.

    What happens when her dynamic comes to light, and will Colin realize his feelings, or were they there all along?

    Summary

    When Penelope Featherington finds herself still unmarried at the ripe old age of five and twenty, she is forced to become a governess for a wealthy little girl. Unfortunately, working as a governess affords a woman much fewer freedoms than Penelope is used to, meaning she has no control over the situation when her job brings her uncomfortably close to her ex-fiancé Colin.

    Or, a Jane Eyre Au.
