    Summary

    “Colin?” she called and he pulled himself out of his thoughts, thinking that he really missed the way she said his name.

    “Perhaps we can change that,” he responded.

    An adorable frown formed on her forehead, “Pardon?”

    Colin didn't know where the conversation was heading but spoke anyway. “I could make some introductions. Pen, anyone would be lucky to court you.”

    Penelope's frown deepened, “I- That's totally unnecessary, Colin.”

    He was puzzled, didn't she want to marry? “Why not? You could meet someone and-”

    “There's really no need to go to all this trouble,” she said with a tone of finality.

    “But-”

    “I have a lover, Colin!” she blurted.

    Summary

    This is my reimagining of Season 3 keeping the lessons aspect in tact but adding in a marriage of convivence and various elements from the book. I will address Lady Whistledown but there will be 100% LESS ANGST.

    Penelope asks Colin for lessons in flirting to help her secure a proposal. After a slow burn revelation Colin realizes he is Pen's best chance at freedom... IF she agrees to one little demand... a goodnight kiss, every night before bed. Pen can hardly believe her ears, let alone believe her own mouth when she agrees to his request. Will Penelope finally get over her insecurities? How can Colin ever convince her of his feelings after what he told Fife?

    In a marriage of connivence, where one friend is hopelessly in love and the other friend insists on affection, hilarity ensues and maybe they can figure out how to make it all work in the end... no matter how many awkward good night kisses it takes to get there. After all: they say you should never go to bed angry.

    Summary

    After twenty years of shared secrets and whispers. Penelope and Colin are officially leaning into their "hag era" with a marriage of convenience. At thirty-eight and forty-three, they’ve traded the pressure of the marriage mart for a comfortable pact: she gets a travel partner to spice up her retired-Whistledown life, and he finally gets the constant companion he’s been chasing across four continents. It’s a perfectly sensible, purely practical arrangement... isn't it?

    A mix of book and show Polin because I'm a sucker for them.
