Summary
When Penelope wakes, blearily, she shifts to her opposite side in the uncomfortable hospital bed.
She sees him there, in the same place he has been for the last several days, from the moment she first awoke.
The man they say is her husband.
She knows this man; she has known him nearly her whole life.
But she does not know Colin Bridgerton as her husband.
An accident steals five years of Penelope's memory, leaving her baffled and confused as she tries to adjust to the life that is, apparently, hers—a life she had once dreamed of, no less. Colin is Colin, taking care of her every need, but maintaining a careful distance that has her wondering how he fell in love with her in the first place. But as they navigate the strange new world they find themselves in, and as bits and pieces of Penelope's memory return, she learns how it feels to be truly and wholly loved by Colin Bridgerton.
And how it feels to be betrayed by him.

Summary
Lady Danbury sets her tea cup in its saucer on the table and fixes Penelope with her intense gaze.
"I'd like to sponsor you."
Penelope chokes on her next swig of tea so badly that Lady Danbury rises, moving next to her and patting her back until her hacking abates. Penelope takes in a few steadying breaths, willing air into her lungs. She is sure she misheard, that the shock of her choking has altered her memory. "Pardon, my lady? You wish to…?"
"Sponsor you. For the season."
After Archibald Featherington loses the family fortune when Penelope is thirteen, the family is forced to adapt to life as members of the lower class. By nineteen, Penelope has become Madame Delacroix's apprentice, and her fine skills with a needle catch the eye of Lady Agatha Danbury. Debuting in society thrills and terrifies her in equal measure, as she knows nothing of how a proper lady should behave, but she wants nothing more than to escape from her cruel, embittered mother—and she is perfectly content to settle for a straightforward, comfortable marriage in order to do so.
Enter Colin Bridgerton.

Summary
When Penelope was ten years old, she got a delivery at her house on Valentine's Day.
At first, her mother was delighted to receive the parcel from the delivery boy. She practically swooned when he placed the small box into her hands, and Penelope swore she heard a girlish giggle when Portia lifted the lid and saw what was inside.
But when her mother saw the note attached, her expression transformed from pleased to stony in less than a heartbeat. Her steps were measured as she walked over to where Penelope sat in the living room.
She thrust the package into Penelope's lap. "For you."
Penelope barely had time to take a breath before Portia whirled around and marched away. Penelope frowned after her mother, brows furrowed in concern and confusion. When she opened the box and saw the flower, she gasped. She rummaged around for the card her mother had carelessly dropped, her heart thudding so powerfully in her chest she was certain her sternum would crack, and pulled out the small slip of paper with slightly shaky hands.
Happy Valentine's Day, Penelope

Summary
"Everyone has their unrequited love story, yeah? My best friend, she had a brother. Well, she had four brothers, but there was one in particular. He was like the sun… and I—I was constantly pulled into his orbit."
It was a throwaway line in a throwaway interview that nobody was meant to read.
A story about missed connections and growing older and what happens when you finally stop running.

Summary
“You earnestly believe you can trick me into loving you in three months? Mr. Bridgerton, this shall be the easiest-won wager any woman has ever known.”
Colin chuckles. “I believe,” he says, “I can do it in one. The latter two shall be enjoyed as our honeymoon.”
Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton haven’t properly seen each other in years.
Now, they find themselves maneuvered into an arranged marriage neither of them wants.
Penelope, sharp-tongued and self-possessed, has no intention of being anyone’s consolation prize. Colin, newly returned from the continent and having already insulted his bride, did not comprehend quite the little spitfire he'd been given.
And so, a wager is struck: Three months to earn her regard, or surrender the match.

Summary
His kind do not surface often. The old stories say it invites trouble—human nets, human curiosity, human cruelty. Anthony reminds him of this regularly. Colin has never cared, and this is the part of his day he looks forward to most. The slow ascent toward the light. The knowledge of what waits for him above.
Who waits for him above.
The Little Mermaid AU exactly one person asked for. Artwork by YoukaiYume.

Summary
He sank to one knee before her. "Miss Featherington, I—"
"What are you doing?" she hissed.
"What does it look like I am doing?"
"It looks," she said, her voice very crisp and precise, "as if you are proposing marriage, but that cannot—"
A great wave of satisfaction came over him. "In that case," he said, "my intention and the appearance of it are in complete accord. I am indeed proposing marriage."_______________________________
When Penelope's mother dies and Colin discovers that she's being forced to leave her home, there's nothing for him to do but propose.
