    Summary

    He’s in Zagreb, scouting out Christmas markets, when he gets a call from Anthony. Dread fills his chest. An unscheduled call from Anthony is never a good thing.

    His oldest brother’s voice is curt. “They think Benedict had a stroke. He’s in for a scan now.”

    *

    In which Colin is faced with a family crisis just as he's figuring out his life.

    A bit of Colin reflection, hurt/comfort, Bridgertons being Bridgertons, and of course Colin/Penelope all the way. CW for medical crisis and reference to past character death (Edmund.)

    Summary

    "He had sent Penelope- beautiful, innocent, perfect Penelope- the deviant writings of an absolute madman. Writings that detailed the way he wanted her, ways that were decidedly ungentlemanly. She was going to think he was deranged."

    Summary

    “Are you quite serious?”
    Colin rolled his eyes and held back an irritated sigh. If he had two quid for every time he’d heard this particular query from his eldest brother, he’d likely be rich enough to do without his trust completely (maybe). “I don’t see what the big fuss is, Ant. This is what you wanted, isn’t it?”
    Anthony scoffed. “For you to put down some roots, yes. I didn’t realize going on a reality show would be part of that.”


    OR

    Colin goes on a House Hunters-esque show and brings Penelope along to help him choose his new home. Assumptions are made, tension rises, minor chaos ensues, and the end result is quite different than Colin originally planned.

    Summary

    “What - what were they saying?”

    Penelope glances at him sideways. His cheeks are a little flushed, that pretty mouth of his partly open. He is still staring at her.

    “Um. Well. They said you were daddy material.”

    The minute it comes out of her mouth she knows she should not have said it. It is so deeply, awfully inappropriate. Her cheeks burn. She is about to apologise when Colin straightens and twists his whole body towards her.

    “What does that mean?” he asks. When she does not answer, he uses his stern teacher voice, the one he uses on the students. “Penelope. Tell me.”

    Why does that make her melt?

    Summary

    “I—” she stared up at him and said in a small voice, “it’s too much to ask of you.”

    “It’s not,” Colin said firmly. “Don’t overthink it,” he urged her.

    Ten minutes ago, she had no home and no chance that she would ever know where her dad was. Colin had just walked into the room and taken control of everything within a matter of minutes, like her own personal white knight.

    “Just let someone take care of you for once.”

    In which Colin slowly, inadvertently, and inevitably becomes Penelope’s sugar daddy.
