Dear God.

Summary
Violet Bridgerton has had enough of her three eldest sons refusing to engage with the marriage mart. She has seen her daughters Daphne and Francesca married in the last four seasons but she wants more grandchildren and she wants them now.
And so, in the week before the whole family and ton are due to descend on Aubrey Hall for the annual Hearts and Flowers Ball, Lady Violet has invited a select group of eligible ladies to the Hall to participate in a series of challenges where the ultimate prize is up for grabs: marriage to one of the three oldest Bridgerton brothers. Penelope Featherington is on her fourth year on the mart with no prospects.

multichap fic I will correct the chapter count on update.
Whistledown exists, Colin didn’t make any foolish declarations in the Featherington gardens, Penelope and Eloise are grand. Prudence is still unmarried. This started out as a purely crack fic but I accidentally kept adding plot and making myself cry. There is still quite a lot of crack though. If you crave period accuracy, sorry. I researched some bits with fervour and then hugged an anachronism or two for the giggles.
I’m trying to be consistent, but I make the rules and my brain is wonky).- Language:

Summary
The carriage scene, told from Colin's point of view, because I need to get it out of my system.
He took a steadying breath, willing himself to be brave, strong, just as his father had been. She had given him the foundation to confess, opening the door to release all of the longing that had plagued him so, and he simply could not hold back any longer. He looked up at her through his lashes as he finally said, “What if I did have feelings for you?”

Summary
Queen Charlotte has devised a most excellent–in her opinion–system for selecting mates amongst the members of the gentry, but Penelope and Eloise find the concept equal parts barbaric and terrifying.
With both her sisters mated and married, Penelope's entrance into the Process is imminent.
When Eloise goes to Colin and begs him to help Penelope, he comes up with a plan to safeguard Penelope from ending up with the likes of Nigel Berbrooke or, God forbid, someone worse.
Trigger warnings for dub-con, if you're concerned. Essentially, the way this Process works, the Omegas don't get a lot of say in who their Alphas will be, it's down to whether the Alpha chooses the Omega and not the other way around. Also, the Omegas are bound, gagged, and blindfolded throughout this process to make sure only their scent is on offer to the Alphas.

Summary
It was bloody inconvenient to realize you were in love with your friend when you were on another continent, stuck in a work contract for 8 months. It was the ultimate irony, Colin supposed, to have been in each other’s lives since childhood, had easy access to each other, only to start dating when they could barely even facetime. And now, having a romantic reunion to remember was remarkably more challenging surrounded by his family who did not know they were dating. But all he wanted for Christmas was Penelope, and he would do anything he could to make it count.

Summary
“I uncovered why Miss Featherington had such an icy disposition towards the third Bridgerton,” Fife said, looking forward toward the pair. “She overheard him say some unflattering words about her person last season. Something about never dreaming of courting the girl.”
“And how do you know that?” Cressida asked curiously.
“Well,” Fife muttered with a slight shrug, shifting his weight to one side. “I may have encouraged it.”

Summary
His eyes landed on Penelope, dancing in the arms of Arthur Fernsby of all people, looking absolutely miserable. Fernsby hands were lower in her back than they had any right to be, and there was nothing proper in the way he held her close to his body. Colin only noticed that he had started walking towards Pen when Violet stopped him.
“Dearest, what are you doing?” Her voice was sweet and full of concern, but her hand on his arm was firm. Colin looked at his mother as if she had lost her mind.
“Miss Featherington is clearly uncomfortable, should I not help her?”
“Oh Colin, they are to be wed in a week,” his world came crashing down. “I fear any help is too late by now.”
-
Penelope is being forced to marry someone she does not want, Colin decides that the only way to help is to marry her himself.
