Summary
For Colin, no matter how many countries he visited, how many people he met, how useful he was to the crown, he was haunted by Penelope.
After the first month he started to fill a journal with words that are written about her, for her, hoping to find his way towards understanding and forgiveness (what choice did he truly have, between forgiving her and never seeing her again?). Letters piled up unsent, but he could stop producing them - his words spilling out of him like air.
By the fifth month of his travels, he had started to hallucinate her, catching glimpses of her red hair across a piazza. One night, half-deranged, he trailed the sound of her voice through the streets to find only a dead-end and her absence.
Another night, boots frozen to cobblestones he was trapped under the glare of her bright blue eyes peaking out in shock from under a heavy cloak. A cart toppled behind him, a moment of distraction. When he looked back, the spirit had disappeared.He no longer knew if he was searching for something or fleeing from it. In the seventh month he returned home, and found it was fundamentally changed.
Penelope was gone.

A home for my canon-era fics, often of the missing scene variety, that mix show and book canon.

Summary
Los “Amores eternos” o también llamados “Almas gemelas”. Son amores más viejos que la memoria, amores que han vivido mil vidas; amores que, en su bendición y maravilla, causaron la caída de imperios, muerte y pena. Entonces como castigo y para no olvidar el poder que tiene el amor, fueron separados y condenados a buscarse hasta que el dolor los reúna y al por fin tomarse de la mano puedan volver a estar juntos.
Eso decía la leyenda, porque en la realidad no sucedían.
Para Colin Bridgerton, los amores eternos eran un mito usado para justificar que las personas solteras no pudieran tomarse de las manos ni llamarse por su nombre si no eran familia. Y para Penélope Featherington, las almas gemelas eran solamente un tema interesante de leer, cuentos románticos de personas destinadas a sentir el dolor de su otra mitad y marcas plateadas en las muñecas.
Ninguno de los dos creía realmente en la existencia de los amores eternos, almas gemelas o como quisieran decirles.
Hasta el día en que Colin comenzó a toser pétalos amarillos...

Summary
Sometimes she wonders what people would say if they knew that Penelope Featherington was Colin Bridgerton's booty call. Felicity would probably spin it into some grand adventure, casting Penelope as the lonely figure stood on some moonlight shore as she waited for her lover to return. Eloise would undoubtedly be violently sick and then call her an idiot... and Penelope, well Penelope could hardly believe it herself.
It has to stop though.
It has to.

Summary
“In retrospect, Penelope shouldn’t have been that surprised at Colin Bridgerton propositioning her. She just wishes she hadn’t been wearing a stained sweatshirt and musty, third-day-worn leggings when he did.”
Last summer, Penelope’s family was cast out of upper class society after her cousin disappeared into the night with half the town’s money. Coupled with an explosive fallout with Eloise, Pen is sure she’s doomed to rot away in a dilapidating manor. Her luck turns around when Colin returns from his latest jaunt abroad. He makes Pen an offer: pose as his companion for the summer and he’ll help restore her family’s reputation, all while paying her way for dinners, dances, dresses and more. It’s harmless fun for the summer, free from expectations and attachments. But when their transactional relationship starts to skirt something more, her secrets and his skeletons threaten to tear the two apart for good.
