    Summary

    The Kiss Cam catches Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton in its red, heart-shaped frame. She’s mortified—after all, she’s been hopelessly in love with him forever. Meanwhile, he’s convinced it’ll be no big deal.

    And then the internet explodes.
 And then he explodes—into panic, confusion, and feelings he definitely did not plan to have.

    She fell first.

    But after one (1) unexpected kiss and the media circus that follows, he’s falling harder than he ever intended.

    Summary

    Cas liked music. He liked Dean’s music.

    And Dean’s music, in its purest, rawest form, was made for cassettes and vinyl, and unless Cas intended to sit next to the record player in Dean’s room or lounge on the front seat of the Impala for hours on end, he needed a Walkman.

    The least Dean could do was buy him one.

    Summary

    Penelope knows how many times she has shared tea with Colin. She knows the number of times they have danced, knows how many times he touched her before they were engaged, how many letters they have written, how many crystal goblets they received as wedding gifts.

    She did not know he knew how many sugars she takes in her tea.

    That is something for which she did not account.

    Summary

    It’s just the briefest of touches, barely even a kiss really… but why the hell was Benedict locking lips with Penelope at all?

    And more to the point — Colin is meant to be over her, he’s said it a hundred times, so why does seeing it make his stomach drop?

    OR

    Some mistletoe leads to a painful misunderstanding and a long-awaited reconciliation.

    Summary

    Five “first times” Penelope wonders if she is a burden or a regret, and one time Colin assures her she is not.

    A 5+1 fic.

    💙💙💙💙💙

    “Grandfather, why do you get to make Penelope’s hat? You have only met her today.”

    Lord Ledger makes a show of crossing his arms and harrumphs. “There are no rules when it comes to birthday hats. You can make a birthday hat for anyone—a new acquaintance, a friend, or a dear family member.”

    “But…” Colin bites his lip and casts a furtive glance in her direction.

    Colin seems displeased and Penelope cannot think why.
