Summary
Penelope Featherington has embraced the tranquillity of village life, running The Whistling Pen bookshop as the festive season fills the air. But when a familiar figure from her past returns after years away, the peace Penelope has built begins to shift.
As Christmas celebrations unfold—from the annual village social to cosy gatherings under twinkling lights—old memories and unresolved emotions resurface. With the encouragement of her friends and the ever-entertaining Eloise Bridgerton, Penelope must decide if she’s ready to open her heart and turn mistletoe moments into new beginnings.
Will this holiday season bring the love she’s always dreamed of, or will it be just another season of mistletoe and memories?

Summary
The silence grew heavier and heavier, until Penelope let out with the most broken voice Benedict had ever heard from her “He left me”.
He slowly took her in his arms as she sniffed softly in his shirt.
“We Bridgertons take care of each other” Benedict offered. “If you’re pregnant, that baby will have everything they could ever need”.
Whatever warmth that had started to crawl into Penelope faded in an instant. She got herself free of his arms and fought back the tears. Was that it? Was that his only concern? A hypothetical baby? She thought she was a part of the family, as honorary as the title got. Was that the condition under which she could be a “Bridgerton”? Have Colin’s child? Did he care so little about her as a person if she was not pregnant? Now that Colin had left, she felt like a problem that the Bridgerton family needed to solve. -

Summary
Colin never revealed his feelings to Penelope because how can a third son without a title and estate compete with Lord Debling, especially when Penelope seems so happy to be with him?
He leaves Mayfair the day after her wedding, determined to put some distance between them or else he will lose his mind.
He never found out she was Lady Whistledown (he would find out later). After about a year of mental upheavals while wandering the continent he returns to Mayfair to discover what he knew all along. His heart beats for Penelope alone.
How will he deal with the distance that society forces them to keep? Will they manage to at least be friends? And what will he do when Penelope experiences a trauma that she finds difficult to deal with and becomes a shadow of herself?
A story with a happy ending but a lot of longing and difficulties on the way to true love. -

Summary
They started the dance silently. She wondered why he had bothered to ask her to dance at all if he didn’t want to talk. There was so much left to say, but none of it in polite company. And, most importantly, none of what she had to say mattered now. They were both married.
“I almost forgot to congratulate you-”
“You do not need to.”
“But I must-” She insisted.“I’d really rather you didn’t.” He said sternly. Colin’s face was unreadable as he couldn’t meet her eyes. Instead she stared at his clenched jaw. She supposed she wouldn’t have wanted his congratulations either after her own wedding, not that he tried to offer any.

She swallowed and looked up again. „What if I were to say…yes?“ she wanted to know, studying the way Anthony‘s gaze shifted into something she‘d never seen in someone‘s eyes.
A small smile crept onto Anthony‘s lips again. „We shall expeditiously relocate you to Bridgerton house, whilst I attend to your mother. My own mother and Eloise shall provide care, and Kate shall do the same, naturally,“ he answered, clasping his hands together in front of him.

Summary
Balloon race sexy pirate Colin with an Omegaverse flare. Basically I just wanted to write a smutty version of events. Colin's obsessed, Penelope's meant to be a Beta, but he just can't leave her alone.
“Pen…” Colin stared down at her, his expression strange and intense and focused very much on her mouth.
“I’m sorry, that was not very ladylike of me,” Penelope whispered, her fingers still pressed to her lips. She was so hot everywhere again, even her thighs seemed to grow damp.
“No, I–” Colin, already far nearer than proprietary allowed, stepped closer. The warmth of his body mingled with her own and drove it higher, burning across her chest and cheeks. A scent rose from him, the light musk carried by the rising breeze that drifted through the tent. Penelope instantly wanted more of it, wanted to fill her lungs with great gasps of something so distinctively Colin. “Have I told you how lovely you look today?”
