    Summary

    Penelope Featherington is a bright, determined postgraduate student at Queen Victoria University of London, focused on her studies and keeping her personal life uncomplicated. Seeking a break from boredom, she turns to a dating app, where she meets Luke, a charming and seemingly carefree guy. Their connection is immediate, and what starts as casual hookups evolves into a complicated situationship.
    Penelope, careful not to complicate things with emotions, brushes off the small inconsistencies in Luke's stories—his vague details about his life and the oddness in his actions. To her, it’s just about the physical connection, and feelings don’t need to enter the equation. But as time passes, Penelope begins to feel something deeper for Luke, even though she tries to suppress it.
    Luke, on the other hand, is falling in love with Penelope too. But he’s carrying a heavy secret: he’s not actually Luke. He’s Colin Bridgerton, and he’s known Penelope longer than she knows. He has lied about everything—his identity, his past, and even his feelings. When the walls built on lies finally start to crumble, will their love survive the truth? Or will the lies that brought them together tear them apart?

    Summary

    From the moment of their accidental meeting as young children through the trauma of hurt and loss, the heartbreak of adolescence, and the confusion of young adulthood, Colin and Penelope's connection anchors them both.

    This story aims for hurt and comfort in equal measure as it follows the "platonic best friends" (really, though?) as they grow up, with time jumps between each chapter as we see them navigate their lives together. Their story is one of true friends to lovers, where lines blur and it's hard to see where friendship ends and love begins, because perhaps they've been together all along.

    *CW: This is NOT a dark fic, but does contain mature themes, specifically a child abuse storyline.*
