    Summary

    They’ve been having this same conversation for the past decade. Ever since Penelope was first invited to join the Bridgerton family tradition of a Christmas holiday at Aubrey Hall.

    Penelope endures a conversation with Portia. Luckily, she has Violet and Colin to help her pick up the pieces.

    Modern AU. One-shot. Kinda angsty but we soothe that with fluff.

    Summary

    The Bridgertons have always been a competitive bunch, never more so than when they are sequestered away from the judgmental eyes of the ton while staying at Aubrey Hall. However, when the family questions Colin’s sudden success during a casual game of Buffy Gruffy, he starts to wonder if he’s truly that perceptive or if it all has to do with a specific red-headed family friend sitting across from him.

    Summary

    What if, after enduring more pain than she could ever imagine, Penelope finally gave in and told Colin how she felt?

    --

    “You don’t have to say anything. I get it.”

    Penelope took three steps and felt a hand on her wrist. Colin grabbed her arm, pulling firmly, and spinning her around. His hand cradled her face as he bent down to kiss her, breathing her in as his lips covered hers.

    That’s all it took for Penelope’s brain to short circuit. Colin was kissing her. It was soft and gentle, but sent sparks to all of her limbs. Her body turned into gelatin.

    When they broke apart, she placed her hands on his chest, feeling the thud of his heartbeat underneath his shirt. His hand remained cradling her cheek.

    “Why did you do that?” she asked quietly, her heart in her throat.

    “I don’t know,” he breathed. He looked so young and scared suddenly. “I just felt like I should.”

    Summary

    “Please, Pen. I know you’ll love it if you try!” he’d pleaded with her on the street outside her flat. His car parked behind him was brimming with bags and camping equipment. His eyes were so fucking sincere, she didn’t stand a chance.

    And so now, she’s stomping on a foot pump trying to blow up their airbed (“Sorry, I only had a double”) while Colin gets the fire going.

    She’s quite committed to hating this whole experience. She's not the outdoorsy kind. She’s a city girl.

    Though she has to admit it is a bit fun.

    - OR -

    Colin takes his good friend Penelope camping.
