    Summary

    It had been a while since Penelope discovered Colin Bridgerton had the filthiest mouth in all of London (mostly because it had also been a while since they started sleeping together), so when his dirty talk begins to take a turn towards the romantic, she’s certain it means nothing. Except, well, does he really have to make ‘nothing’ sound so bloody… convincing?

    Summary

    "Everyone has their unrequited love story, yeah? My best friend, she had a brother. Well, she had four brothers, but there was one in particular. He was like the sun… and I—I was constantly pulled into his orbit."

    It was a throwaway line in a throwaway interview that nobody was meant to read.

    A story about missed connections and growing older and what happens when you finally stop running.

    Summary

    The Selkie was a rough old pub, only a stone's throw from east London's best brothels and the working men they both served. There wasn't anywhere quite like it though, not with Charlotte running the place and seizing every opportunity she could get - even if it meant making deals with a gangster and setting his favourite barmaid in his sights to keep him sweet.

    Penelope had always been taught the Devil would have a handsome face - what she wasn't prepared for is for him to be a gentleman as well.

    What does a poor working girl do when a dangerous man offers her what none ever has before: safety.

    Summary

    “Are you sure you want to do it like this, Pen?”
    Penelope paused, giving the question the consideration the weight she knew it deserved. This was a big deal. It was asking a lot of both of them.
    “Yes,” she said, quietly but firmly. “I’m sure.”

    Colin huffs and frowns. “I like it here.”

    “Kneeling on my hard, outdated linoleum kitchen floor?”

    Nodding emphatically, he affirms, “It’s where I belong.”

    Penelope chokes on an ill-timed sip of wine. “What?”

    “I like looking up at you.”

    Here's what I imagine would happen if you took a recently enlightened Colin, fed him alcohol, and let him play with his bestie's beautiful, curly hair.

    Summary

    Shaking off the daze, he becomes aware that Anthony is staring at him through the mirror pensively, eyes bobbing up and down from his chest to his eyes. “You should probably tell her you have feelings for her before you show her that.”

    “Feelings?” Colin turns to look at his brother.

    “You cannot be this dense, Colin,” Anthony says, expression deadpan.

    “Dense about what?” Colin says exasperatedly. “It’s just a tattoo. I already have a bunch of them. Besides, I think she’ll find it funny.”

    “You wanna tell a joke? Send her a meme. You don’t get a tattoo of her name.” Anthony rolls his eyes and shakes his head, which, to be fair, is what he does at most of the things Colin says anyway.

    or; the one where colin get's pen's name tattooed and realizes he's in love with her.

    Summary

    Colin snatched up his die. “Okay.” He swallowed, his neck sweltering under his collar. “Roll to…kiss?”

    A giggle raced around the table, eyes darting between Colin’s presumably florid face and Michaela’s mischievous one. 

    “Roll, or kiss her for real and call it a nat twenty,” Genevieve muttered loud enough for everyone to hear, hoisting her wine glass with a smirk at Michaela, who lifted her eyebrows in consideration.

    “I’ll allow it,” Michaela ruled, nodding her chin once firmly at Genevieve before turning to smile fetchingly for Colin. “Your move, horny bard.”

    OR: Michaela uses a D&D one-shot to push together two oblivious idiots in love using the power of roleplay.

    Summary

    "Bet I could still catch you," he tells her and she glowers at him but he can see the little twitch in her pout. She wants to smile. He feels good. "Now, come on. Give me a hug. I haven't seen you in forever."

    As he wraps his arms around her, gathers all her plushness to his chest, his nose is filled with her scent.

    And Colin Bridgerton forgets the performance. Forgets that he has to be careful with her. Forgets that his family are about two feet away.

    Because she smells fucking divine. Not the right word, surely — too exalted for the earthiness, the rich salt that makes his jaw work and his tongue press to the roof of his mouth and his fingers dig into the rolls on her back. Does she always smell like this, he wonders — this dirty, bright and cloying — or did she just forget deodorant? He can't recall — can't recall anything, except the vivid musk of her, fresh and sweet like the cut stalks of flowers, sweat and tang and — fuck — he's hard. Hard and leaking, immediately and so profusely it kind of feels like he's pissed himself. Fuck. Fuck.

    Summary

    “I wouldn’t worry too much about these labels that humans give you,” said Lady Danbury as if she were reading Penelope's mind. “They’re based on human relationships. Life, love, everything is different for us than it is for them. Because we aren’t human, are we?”

    “No, we’re not.” And thank goodness for that. Being a human seemed exhausting to Penelope.

    “All three of those words mean exactly what you told me: love. Love is the most important thing we have. Love is one of the few things we stuffed animals can choose for ourselves. You should always hold onto love, Penelope. As tight as you can. Whatever form that love takes, and what you do with that love, is up to you.”

    “Well, yes,” said Penelope, still a bit confused. Lady Danbury was smart, but she didn’t always make sense. Besides, they were getting off track from what she really wanted to know. “But is one of those words best? Best friends, maybe? None of the others have the word best in them, so I thought…”

    Colin and Penelope are sock monkeys, and they are in love.

    “Please,” Penelope gasps. “Please, Colin. I need…”
    “What do you need?”
    She sweat off her makeup long ago. She can feel the mascara tracks striping across her cheeks, tears leaking out of her eyes.
    She needs more. She needs him. She needs…“I need to come.”

    Colin Bridgerton has always traced messages with his fingers. Penelope, desperately in love with him for her whole life, is the only one who sees them. The only one who understands.
    When they finally get together, this habit...escalates.

    Summary

    After turning thirty, Penelope decides she's done waiting for the perfect man and wants to be a mother. With the help of an esteemed fertility clinic, she selects a sperm donor and gets pregnant on her own. Scared to deal with the judgement of others, she lies and says that her ex boyfriend who moved away is the father.

    Though she and Colin have drifted in recent months, when he finds out her news, he vows to support her and show up for her and her baby. Her feelings for him muddy the waters, and she does her best to keep him at arms length during such an emotional time.

    --

    It all started with a brochure. 

    When Philippa struggled to get pregnant with her second, she and Albion looked into every option they could think of. At another painful Featherington family tea, Portia rattled off a list of old wives tales of sex positions they could try, earning groans and gags from all four of her daughters. Penelope glanced at the table, where the brochure lay forgotten, the words “Mayfair Fertility Clinic and Sperm Bank” sprawled in elegant typeface across the front, as though it were a fine dining menu and not an institution where men jerked off into cups.
