Summary
When a trip to Gringotts reveals that Severus is now eligible to inherit the Prince estate, Lucius is filled with delight at the prospect of helping him find a suitable wife to fulfil the succession conditions.
Severus is considerably less enthusiastic.
Unfortunately for him, a surprising number of witches are interested in becoming Lady Prince. Most are after his new fortune. A few appear to be plotting his early demise. And one particularly insufferable witch cannot resist his newly acquired library.

Summary
"Normally, I only have to think of you reading my letters for my muse to alight upon my shoulder and guide my quill across the page. You said once that there is so much more to say than what one can put into a letter… tell me, Pen… do you have nothing to say? Have my letters missed the mark? Your silence is most unusual, and I cannot help but feel perplexed, as I cannot figure out what could possibly be keeping you from responding… twelve letters, Penelope… one, or two is an accident… twelve is a punishment."
Colin returns to London for the Season of 1815, hoping to reconnect with his friend Penelope - only to discover that everything has changed between them.

Summary
"I would like to marry," Penelope said bluntly. She looked him directly in the eye, daring him to disagree.
"Right." Colin gave a slow nod of the head, clearly taken aback by the declaration. His eyes had gone wide, giving him a look that was reminiscent of cornered prey.
It seemed that the heavens were intent upon tormenting her.
"Not you," she managed to say evenly, although she felt tumultuous waves rocking the boat that was her composure.
"No, of course not," he agreed hastily, embarrassment evident on his face.

Don't Want to Say Goodbye by TradingGlances

Summary
“Dearest,” his mother’s voice comes out a little louder. The hand on his arm squeezes in emphasis. Colin drags his eyes away from the beautiful vision of his fiancée— his fiancée! — and looks towards his mother.
“I got Humboldt to fetch you a cravat. I thought you might want to be fully dressed before we escort Miss Featherington home.” His mother presses a plain white scrap of cloth into Colin’s limp hand.
“Home?” Colin inquires, at a complete loss to his mother’s meaning. Penelope is home. He already escorted her up from the street and into Bridgerton House. Pen's cloak is already settled in the closet amongst their own.
OR
A tiny introspective about what occurs after Colin announces his engagement to his family in the Bridgerton drawing room. In which he is mostly being a pouty loverboi about having to say goodbye to Pen.
