Summary
When Princess Rhaenyra brings forth a second son who yet again resembles a little too much her sworn shield and champion, Ser Harwin Strong, indignation in Court grows louder and relentless, making it impossible for the Royal Family to ignore it.
Or, what if King Viserys did heed the whispers about his grandsons’ parentage.

Summary
What is honor compared to a woman's love? And what is duty against the feel of a newborn son in your arms?
“Harwin,” his only response was a hum. “You should leave.”
“Do you really want me to?” he rasped. Rhaenyra said nothing.
Modern Domestic Rhaewin AU.

Summary
Consumed by grief after her son's death, Rhaenyra was barely holding on. She had very little interest in something other than vengeance, that is until an unknown boat washed up on the shores of Dragonstone.
Ser Erryk bowed. “My Queen, we have brought the invader to the castle. It’s a man. States you know him,”
Rhaenyra raised an eyebrow. “Well, where is he?”
“He’s outside this room. Except─ Your Grace… well, the man he claims to be, he’s… dead.”
“Who does he claim to be?”
“He says he is Ser Harwin Strong, your Grace.”

Summary
In a world where the marriage ritual leaves a permanent mark on you, the word that reflects your match’s first impression of you appears in your skin.
—•—
Penelope had known since she was eight years old who she would marry. She had heard stories about him, how brave and noble he was, and spent her whole life in love with the boy in the picture.
Something that had never crossed Penelope’s mind, however, was the possibility that Colin Bridgerton would be disappointed upon meeting her.
“Speak now, Penelope, with clarity and conviction. What is the word, bestowed upon you by the gentleman ordained as your match, that defines you in his eyes?”
The celebrant’s voice suddenly felt like a distant hum, her vision blurred by the tears welling up in her eyes. On her wrist, visible to anyone close enough to read it, was written her word with golden letters.
Shallow.

Summary
After another detour, another hour in traffic, and then another detour, they’re finally rolling through a mostly clear, fairly deserted stretch of road. Then, the GPS on the screen loses signal.
“Fuck,” he mutters. “Can you check your cell?”
Penelope does, but there’s not even a hint of a bar. For good measure, she checks his, but it’s just as signal-less.
“I can’t believe we’re lost,” she says with a giggle. “You’re gonna be hungry soon.”
“You afraid you’re gonna get eaten first?” he asks with a stupidly charming grin. Penelope nudges him with her elbow.
“If we turn back now, we’re going to end up doing this for another five hours,” Colin whines. “And I’m worried I’ll probably get us more lost with how all the detours ended up.”
“There was a sign for an inn not that far back. Do you want to try our luck?” she asks him. He purses his lips.
“Probably a better idea, and at least we can be warm inside. I’m dying to be vertical again,” he agrees.
or; penelope and colin get lost on their way to aubrey hall and stay at an inn on christmas.

Summary
It started with a wrong number, a late night drunken text between strangers and now, it's so much more. Join us as we dive into the first year of our favourite gamal lovers relationship.
Please note: This is part of a series. We really RECOMMEND you read Wrong Number, the first part of this series before you jump into this one. It will make everything make much more sense!
Also: Text count is low due to story taking place mostly through images of text messages.

Summary
“Colin!” Penelope shouts, her face lighting up with a smile that had to be a million or two watts, rivaling the brightness of the sun.
“Pen,” he says, feeling some kind of weight drop from his shoulders, replaced by her when she jumps on him. Her arms wind around his neck and instinctively, he catches her, one hand on the back of her thigh and the other pressed against her lower back.
“Fuck, I missed you,” she breathes.
It’s exactly the homecoming he’d wished for. His heart takes off in his chest. She smells like vanilla and lavender, and her whole body is warm and wrapped around him, and he wonders if maybe they could stay like this for the rest of their lives, because God, he’s missed her, too.
With his face buried in her neck, Colin murmurs, “Yeah, me, too.” Neither of them really let go, and he doesn’t want to read into it that much because—he doesn’t even know. Because he’s scared, maybe. Probably. Because he doesn't understand it and doesn’t want to. Because for all his exploration of caves and canyons, he isn’t sure he’s ready for whatever he’d find the second he reads the text of their friendship and discovers something hidden between the lines.

Summary
Stuck in a relationship that’s circling the drain, Penelope finds herself reluctantly dragged by her boyfriend, Fife, to try out the wild world of couple-swapping. Their first foray into this new territory is with Colin Bridgerton, Fife’s charming coworker, and his girlfriend.
Penelope has no idea what to expect, and she certainly doesn’t anticipate the spark she feels for Colin — something she hasn’t experienced in years, if ever. It’s a twist she never saw coming, leaving her to wonder how she’s managed to settle for so much less all this time.- Language:
