Summary
On the morning of her twenty-third birthday, Penelope Featherington wakes up alone.
Three months ago she disappeared from Mayfair after telling a truth no one believed. Now she drives strangers to Brighton, writes a small weekly column, and does her best to forget the people she once loved most.
Birthdays, however, have a strange way of bringing the past back.
And this year, Penelope is about to learn that leaving a life behind is sometimes much easier than escaping it.

A Christmas carol for the soul by madorwise

Summary
Colin Bridgerton rarely dreamt of his father, certainly not in the last ten years. So when Edmund appeared, dapper as ever in an immaculate blue suit, Colin was caught off guard. But the familiar warmth in his father's eyes was shadowed by a deep, weary sadness, a look Colin had only seen once before, long ago, after a mishap involving Eloise's birthday cake.
“You're in for a long night, my son,” Edmund said solemnly. “I wish things had been different... that you didn’t have to face what lies ahead alone.”
What follows is a night Colin could never have imagined, as his late father warns him of three ghostly visitors who will arrive to help him confront the parts of his life that have gone astray. Is it just a dream, or something more?
The Christmas Carol AU no one asked for, but maybe the one Colin needs.

Summary
“It is vexing—far more vexing than you can possibly imagine!” Colin burst out. “Not merely the loss of your friendship, but the prospect of losing you entirely, Pen.”
He drew a deep, uneven breath before beginning to move toward her with slow, deliberate steps. Only when scarcely an inch remained between them did he finally stop.
“I would sooner allow myself to be utterly ruined than endure a world in which you are no longer mine to cherish, Penelope. That is a loss I find myself wholly incapable of surviving.”
“But we are both engaged to other people, Colin!” Penelope cried breathlessly. “We are to be married, to entirely different people—”
“I do not care!” Colin interrupted fiercely.
He stepped even closer, desperation burning plainly within his eyes.
“Damn me to hell if you must, Penelope, but I shall not permit this torment to continue a moment longer.”

Summary
Colin Bridgerton has a lot of things going for him. He's over six feet tall, has silky, chestnut brown hair that curls naturally in a most fashionable way, and a smile that's been known to make women ages 2 to 92 swoon. Beyond the surface-level things, he's also smart and interesting and treats others with kindness and respect regardless of how he knows them and what walk of life they're from. Objectively, he's an absolute catch. Any girl would be lucky to be his, even just for one night. So, why then, at 26 years old and with all that going for him, is Colin Bridgerton still a virgin?
--
Or, the one where Penelope platonically takes her best friend Colin's virginity and helps him through his sexual awakening.

Summary
"Will you two — can you behave tonight?" Eloise says, exasperation in her voice and her nose scrunched up.
Colin wears an innocent face. "I can't think what you mean. Penis and I always behave."
"I swear to God —" Penelope hisses, plonking the wine down hard on the counter. "You both have to stop with that —"
"I mean it!" Eloise exclaims as she goes over to the large bowl of salad on the side and begins to toss it aggressively. "None of your usual Pen-and-Colin shit, please. Edwina's bringing someone new, and I want him to think we're… normal." She sighs, shoulders sagging. "Normal-ish. Normal enough that he doesn't run screaming." Her eyes narrow. "And if I'm honest I'd rather avoid another evening of you two bitching at each other."
"We don't bitch," Colin insists, though they do, in fact, bitch. "Penelope is my dearest friend."

Summary
“I didn’t want anyone to know me, but, then…”
His head tilts to the side and runs his hand through his hair. There’s a tightness in his stomach and chest making it harder to breathe. Side effects of being around the magnificent her, he supposes.
“Then… what?” She prompts softly, confusion evident in her voice.
They are frozen in time.
Don’t tell me you do not know…“Then, you.”
…Sequel to Poor Puzzled Moon.
A story of fear, loss, friendship, family, and love during the second World War.
