Summary
No one is exactly as they seem.
As a shy wallflower and the ton’s most powerful gossip writer, Penelope Featherington knows this tenet of good fiction to be true. And yet, when she unwittingly tells her mother about the worst night of her life (which she was quite over, by the way), Portia’s unexpected reaction threatens to unravel the new sense of purpose Penelope is forging.
Fortunately, mothers always mind their own business.
And let us be clear on one thing: Colin Bridgerton is not courting Penelope Featherington, and never will.

Summary
Colin shares with his children the whimsical tale of a kind-hearted fairy with fiery curls and a golden bonnet, an enchanting story that mirrors the moment his own love story began. A bonnet, a fall from a horse, a laugh in the mud... and the first spark of a love that would shape his life forever.
Or Colin tells the story of how he met Penelope in the most adorable way to their children.

Summary
The Bridgertons have always been a competitive bunch, never more so than when they are sequestered away from the judgmental eyes of the ton while staying at Aubrey Hall. However, when the family questions Colin’s sudden success during a casual game of Buffy Gruffy, he starts to wonder if he’s truly that perceptive or if it all has to do with a specific red-headed family friend sitting across from him.

Summary
When Penelope was fifteen, she asked Colin to kiss her.
At eighteen, he did and it ruined him. Because surely, a girl doesn't ask for a kiss unless she’s in love too… right?
Colin began picturing a life with Penelope. A country estate. Ten children. A dog.
So imagine his horror when she started entertaining suitors.
Ruined him, and now this? And honestly, is it not a woman’s duty to marry the man she ruined?Bookmarked by dinotopian

“Thank you. For all your kindness. If I secure a proposal, it will be because of you.”
She turns from him and takes one step before his hand darts out to catch hers.
“Please do not leave,” he murmurs, thumb gently tracing the inside of her wrist, feeling her pulse leap under his touch, “not yet. There is still so much I need to say.”

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.
(Regency AU -
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
“I do not know how to swim.”
The words come out in a rush, like a waterfall tumbling over rocks.
“No one knows,” Penelope adds miserably. “Not even Eloise.”
“I know, Pen,” Colin says, and his voice is as gentle as the lapping of water along the pond’s shore.
“H-how? All those summers we spent together. Why did you never say anything before?”
“Because you did not say anything, and I had no wish to embarrass or upset you. There is no shame, and it is never too late to learn.”
OR
Colin has been waiting for Penelope’s debut for years—finally, he will be able to court her properly. But when she flees the presentation hall, everything he hoped for shatters. One summer morning, a swimming lesson changes everything.

Summary
Penelope is twelve when she starts seeing colors differently. When she realizes that not only can Colin see the change, but he's the cause of her new ability, they tumble into an intimacy neither are prepared for. Growing up with the love of her life as a foregone conclusion is not the easiest path, especially since resisting him becomes increasingly difficult and no matter how much she seems to age, she's still too young.
The more they fall in love, the more wrapped up in each other they become and Penelope starts to wonder how far it can all go.

Summary
“I wouldn’t worry too much about these labels that humans give you,” said Lady Danbury as if she were reading Penelope's mind. “They’re based on human relationships. Life, love, everything is different for us than it is for them. Because we aren’t human, are we?”
“No, we’re not.” And thank goodness for that. Being a human seemed exhausting to Penelope.
“All three of those words mean exactly what you told me: love. Love is the most important thing we have. Love is one of the few things we stuffed animals can choose for ourselves. You should always hold onto love, Penelope. As tight as you can. Whatever form that love takes, and what you do with that love, is up to you.”
“Well, yes,” said Penelope, still a bit confused. Lady Danbury was smart, but she didn’t always make sense. Besides, they were getting off track from what she really wanted to know. “But is one of those words best? Best friends, maybe? None of the others have the word best in them, so I thought…”

Colin and Penelope are sock monkeys, and they are in love.

Summary
This dog was going to be the death of him. Colin Bridgerton adored his four-year-old Pyrenean Mountain Dog, adopted from a farmer he’d met on one of his many trips through the French countryside. The puppy wasn’t suited for livestock guardian work, the man had said. And Colin had taken one look at the precocious, stubborn pup and fallen in love. He’d cut his trip short, travelling back to London that weekend, the soft white and grey puppy asleep on the seat beside him on the train.
And now that puppy (more than tripled in size) was flopped down on the yellow blanket of some poor woman, drooling all over her. Colin slowed to a jog before coming to a halting stop a few feet away, breathing heavily.
“I am so sorry,” he panted, gulping in air. “He’s never run off like that before!”
He was so busy glaring at his damnable dog that he almost missed the flush that crept up the stranger’s cheeks. He froze. If he thought he’d been breathless before, it was nothing to how he felt now.
Colin's dog leads him to someone he never expected.
