    Summary

    When Colin agrees to work the annual Flagons & Flails Renaissance Festival with Penelope this summer, she expects him to be disappointed by the overall, well, nerdiness of it.

    Instead, Penelope finds him actually paying attention to her, noticing her, and even appreciating her a bit. Certainly more than he ever did before.

    And she kind of thinks it might destroy her.

    Summary

    She’d always been desperately in love with Colin, always looking for and jumping at any opportunity she got to be with him, to talk to him. She’d never really thought about the fact that he might have been doing the same thing.

    “I hate to say it, Pen, but they’re right,” Eloise admitted begrudgingly. “My brother is obsessed with you, which still grosses me out for the record.”

    “You really think so?”

    “You really don’t?” Hyacinth cut in.

    “Colin’s an amazing boyfriend. He shows me how much I mean to him every day,” Penelope told the group. “I just think saying that he’s obsessed with me is a bit of an exaggeration, that’s all.”

    For a rare, peaceful moment, Hyacinth said nothing, but then her eyes lit up, and Penelope felt a jolt of dread in her stomach. “Well, I for one think it’s the perfect way to describe him, and I know how we’re going to prove it.”

    Penelope knew she was going to regret asking this, but still she questioned anyway, “How?”

    “With a TikTok trend!” Hyacinth said, practically vibrating with excitement.

    Penelope doesn't think Colin is obsessed with her, everyone else knows that he is, and a certain TikTok trend comes into play.

    Summary

    She doesn’t want to be angry with Colin, but she is. She knows that his laugh wasn’t one of malice, that he was just joking around with his brothers- but still, she was the joke, and that’s the thing she can’t quite get past. Penelope had never once expected Colin to love her the way that she loved him, she’s not an idiot, but she’d hoped that- after over a decade of friendship- he’d have a little more respect for her. 

     

    Why is she crying over him anyways? Why is she crying over a man who clearly doesn’t care about her as much as he said he did? A man who’s taken her and her friendship for granted? It’s not like Colin’s so great, certainly not a guy worth spilling tears over. Colin’s… He… 

     

    Fuck. Why can’t she think of any of his flaws?

     

    Well, that’s going to change. 

     

    Penelope wipes her tears and grabs an empty notebook from her room, she sits at her desk and immediately begins writing. 

     

    Reasons Why Colin Bridgerton Isn’t That Great

     

    Penelope writes down Colin's flaws in a journal to get over him, it goes about as well as you'd expect.

    Summary

    Penelope Featherington has spent her entire life being taught that love is something a woman earns by making herself smaller.

    Unfortunately for everyone involved, Colin Bridgerton is about to discover exactly who taught her that — and he is not inclined to be polite about it.
