Summary
And it's her saying his name, the way her mouth forms the word 'Colin', a gentle, breathy sound so pretty it's as if she's invented the requisite vowels and consonants of his name, that he finally places his deja vu.
Penelope was in his dream. Penelope WAS his dream.
*
Colin has a sex dream about Penelope and leans into it.

Summary
Colin's feeling disengaged from his job, Pen's feeling disengaged from her job, and yet the Bridgerton sibling group chat really only cares about whether they're going to get engaged to each other. Are they sneaky about this? No, not at all. Do they have too much going on in their own lives? Oh, definitely. Will this stop them from being absolutely deranged about it? The answer may surprise you (it won't).

Summary
Not thinking about him. Not thinking about not thinking about him. Thinking about all the ways she's not thinking about not thinking about him. The lacuna of avoidance gapes in her mind's eye, a hollow maw of emptiness she cannot dwell upon because she knows what it feels like to be consumed by it.

Where is home I ask. Mother does not say anything. She rests her moist fingers on the end of my tail. Her skin is sticky and mottled yellow and perfect; I am still pale.

Summary
Pen's not doing well on the apps. Colin offers to help. It goes well for her and he hates it. God, Colin just wants to be normal about Penelope. He's trying really hard to be normal about Penelope, just, SO normal. It is becoming increasingly clear that he simply cannot be normal about Penelope. It will take the power of the Bridgerton sibling group chat (and all its related splinter chats) to figure out what to do.

Summary
Apart from Eloise, the pup was the only thing Penelope loved that seemed to truly love her back. A small terrier. Coat the colour of chalked slate, except for the ears and paws, which resembled buttered toast. She had been the runt of her litter, Archie said. Unsure of what to do, she put the pup on top of the desk, facing her. It sat there, looking at her with big, shiny eyes.
“Hello, little one.”

Do any of you recall that Penelope has a dog in Season 1? What happened to that diva? This little character study is me filling in the blanks. -

Summary
Colin Bridgerton’s migraines were legendary. He had had his first one at the age of twelve. It was about a week after his father’s funeral, and Colin felt he had wrung out all the tears his body could possibly bear. He had felt sluggish and fatigued for days, which he assumed was what happened when one’s parent very suddenly died.
*
Pen tends to Colin's migraine via pleasure, aka this dude's life is too good I gotta give him the same chronic pain issues I have. -

Summary
And then, suddenly, he pulled away from her – no! – and raised his gaze to hers, pulling on her hair firmly. “I need to hear it, Pen. Do not say ‘perhaps' again, I need you to say it.”
Although he had told her not to say perhaps again, she knew that Colin desperately, keenly wanted her to do just that. She saw his open permissiveness, giving her the space to join him in this new web of meaning, and she felt the strength of his grip in her hair, a signal of his part to play.

*
Simon still harbours anxiety that he'll be a poor parent. Lady Danbury gives him a pep talk, which prompts him to make a new vow about his father. -

Summary
He watched her at her dressing table as she gently picked up the bone-handled butter knife and eased a slice of tallow from the dish. She carefully transferred it to the pads of her fingers to warm it up before pressing it into the soft flesh of her cheeks and lips. He marvelled at the way she created herself and Whistledown at once, preparing both selves simultaneously for the interest and fascination of the Ton - although no one was more interested and fascinated by Penelope Bridgerton than her husband.
Pen's morning ritual becomes morning sex. Writers in love!! Dumb idiots doing dumb idiot bits with each other in bed. I watched season 3 of Bridgerton and simply went insane :)
