    Summary

    It started six months ago, that fateful check-up where Dr. Blandforth, with his kindly spectacles and zero bedside flirtation, dropped the bomb.

    “Penelope,” he said, peering at my chart like it was a death warrant, “your ovaries are on the fritz. Not catastrophic, but if motherhood's on the cards, we'd best shuffle the deck now. Shop’s closing early!”

    Me? A mum? The woman who once set her kitchen ablaze trying to microwave a ready meal? But oh, the ache for it hits harder than a hangover after too many G&Ts at a book launch. I want the tiny socks, the midnight feeds, the chaos of finger paints on the walls. Sod the rom-com ending.
    __

    Or Peneleope is done waiting for her fairy tale ending so she embarks on motherhood alone just as two men from her past come back into the picture.

    Summary

    The room was dim, the windows shuttered tight against the outside world. A single desk lamp cast long shadows across the worn wooden table, where two cups of untouched tea had long since gone cold.

    “Do you understand the assignment?” came the voice across from him, low, clipped, and final.

    Colin didn’t blink. “Yes, sir.”

    The man nodded once. “Good. You leave in a week’s time.”

    ~~~

    During World War II, Colin Bridgerton is deployed as a British spy. While his family and Penelope Featherington are left in the dark, only Anthony knows the truth and receives Colin’s coded updates every month until one month, the dispatch never comes. No one knows what has happened, devastating his family and leaving Penelope heartbroken. Will Colin return home and if so will he be the same?

    °❆⋆.ೃ࿔*:・

    When Penelope Featherington arrives at Aubrey Hall for Christmastide, she expects warmth, laughter, and perhaps a few stolen glances from her dearest friend’s brother.

    What she does not expect is to be informed that an older version of herself, visibly pregnant and accompanied by a copper-haired child, has already visited.

    Colin Bridgerton, for his part, is behaving… oddly.

    Time, it seems, has a sense of humor.

    Summary

    "Now," the boy (Colin, Colin, Colin) says, as he eases himself to his feet languorously, so he looms and teeters upon the wall. Penelope's breath catches in her throat — she stares up at him in frozen terror as he reaches a long arm out to snatch the top of the cherry tree, his body bowing elegantly into the nothingness of open air. One wrong move and he will tumble, she is sure of it. "Penelope with the Greek name and lovely face and hair like fire," (Penelope wonders if she might die from blushing), "if I throw you down some of the sweetest cherries from the top of the tree," (he begins to pluck and twist the green stems, the branches shaking precariously), "the ones the sun has kissed to perfect ripeness, the kind of cherries you have never tasted before in your life," (he pops one in his mouth and gives the rest of his speech pouted around it), "even as the daughter of a duke who always tastes the very best of everything — well, do you think you might favour me with a smile?"

    Oh, she thinks (for even at fourteen she is decisive; knows her mind well). I am in love.

     

    On the day she finds out she is to be married, Penelope falls in love

    Strangers want Colin for his body. Penelope has always wanted him.

    A drunken compliment, one very specific word, and suddenly he can’t pretend he hasn’t been missing something all along.

    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

    After turning thirty, Penelope decides she's done waiting for the perfect man and wants to be a mother. With the help of an esteemed fertility clinic, she selects a sperm donor and gets pregnant on her own. Scared to deal with the judgement of others, she lies and says that her ex boyfriend who moved away is the father.

    Though she and Colin have drifted in recent months, when he finds out her news, he vows to support her and show up for her and her baby. Her feelings for him muddy the waters, and she does her best to keep him at arms length during such an emotional time.

    --

    It all started with a brochure. 

    When Philippa struggled to get pregnant with her second, she and Albion looked into every option they could think of. At another painful Featherington family tea, Portia rattled off a list of old wives tales of sex positions they could try, earning groans and gags from all four of her daughters. Penelope glanced at the table, where the brochure lay forgotten, the words “Mayfair Fertility Clinic and Sperm Bank” sprawled in elegant typeface across the front, as though it were a fine dining menu and not an institution where men jerked off into cups.

    The Kiss Cam catches Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton in its red, heart-shaped frame. She’s mortified—after all, she’s been hopelessly in love with him forever. Meanwhile, he’s convinced it’ll be no big deal.

    And then the internet explodes.
 And then he explodes—into panic, confusion, and feelings he definitely did not plan to have.

    She fell first.

    But after one (1) unexpected kiss and the media circus that follows, he’s falling harder than he ever intended.

    Summary

    The ancient Greeks believed that the soul was once whole—complete and infinite—until the gods split it in two, condemning each half to wander the world in search of its missing other. Plato called this yearning the origin of love; Aristotle wrote that love is a single soul dwelling in two bodies. This story follows Penelope and Colin—two souls bound by something neither can name—as they find each other across shifting timelines, unfamiliar cities, and the chaos of history. They are not reincarnated. They do not remember. And yet, across centuries, in every life, they are drawn together with the quiet force of inevitability. Their names change. Their circumstances break them. But love, in its oldest form, persists. This is not a tale of destiny—it is the study of recognition, of something ancient waking each time two souls meet and remember what it means to be whole.

    Or

    Ten times across timelines where Penelope and Colin find each other.
