    Summary

    From the moment of their accidental meeting as young children through the trauma of hurt and loss, the heartbreak of adolescence, and the confusion of young adulthood, Colin and Penelope's connection anchors them both.

    This story aims for hurt and comfort in equal measure as it follows the "platonic best friends" (really, though?) as they grow up, with time jumps between each chapter as we see them navigate their lives together. Their story is one of true friends to lovers, where lines blur and it's hard to see where friendship ends and love begins, because perhaps they've been together all along.

    *CW: This is NOT a dark fic, but does contain mature themes, specifically a child abuse storyline.*

    She was startled and looked up into his eyes for a moment, and then started giggling. It was the most beautiful sound he had ever heard. It sounded like his mom’s wind chimes on the back porch, or the bells on the ice cream truck when it rounded the corner… but even more magical. He giggled back at her.

    “I’m Colin,” he said with a smile that he didn’t even have to try to make so big.

    “Penelope,” said the girl with the giggle that was now his favorite song.

    Summary

    Colin Bridgerton is only in town for nine nights, so he plans to spend one night/day with each of his siblings (and his mom), enjoying their drink of choice while slowly coming to the realization (with his siblings' teasing help) that he's actually most excited for his last night in town with his best friend, Penelope Featherington ... maybe, quite possibly, because he loves her ...

    Summary

    On a gloomy day at Hyde Park, Colin Bridgerton fell off his horse. And Penelope Featherington fell in love. One heartbreak, a few years, and a series of unread letters later, Colin agrees to help his dear friend find a match in the marriage mart. What he does not agree to is falling for his own gambit.

    A story following the synopsis of season 3

    .

     

    “It is aggravating,” he hisses. “To watch the woman, you desire with every bone in your body, dance around with other men,” his dark orbs meet her sapphire ones, “go on promenades, ignore your very being and dream of marrying someone who isn’t you.”
