My contribution for the Can I Keep You Challenge on Twitter!! Happy 20th Anniversary to Romancing Mr, Bridgerton and the best Bridgerton couple!!

Story 1 - Colin Bridgerton can't keep his hands off of his pregnant wife, Penelope. Sweet and smutty short fiction.

If Season 3 was one episode. A.K.A. If people were honest and talked about their feelings.

In the glittering world of Regency-era London, where titles and appearances mean everything, the Cavendish family guards a secret that could unravel their entire legacy. Octavius Cavendish, the firstborn and only child of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, carries the weight of the family name with a burden unlike any other: a female, but proclaimed male to secure the dukedom. Navigating the treacherous waters of high society, Octavius must balance the expectations of being the heir with the truth of her identity. With the guidance of the formidable Lady Danbury and the friendship of the charming Francesca Bridgerton, Octavius prepares for a season filled with grand balls, sharp tongues, and hidden dangers. Will Octavius manage to uphold the Cavendish legacy while staying true to herself, or will the secrets she harbors be her undoing? --- #1 - francescabridgerton (60x)

The tale of Her Majesty The Queen Dowager of Württemberg unfolds not as a fairy-tale love story with a happily ever after but as a narrative of growth and resilience. Returning to London with her youngest children after her husband's demise, she steps back into the swirl of the 1813 social season. Life demanded many sacrifices from Charlotte, but none weighed as heavily as the sacrifice of her enduring love, especially for one man-a particular Viscount. Thirteen years after burying the echoes of their first love, fate orchestrates a poignant reunion between Charlotte and the Viscount, Anthony Bridgerton. What they believed to be entombed emotions rise to the surface with each encounter, proving that some feelings, no matter how deeply buried, refuse to remain silent. Love crashes onto their souls once again, defying the passage of time and stirring the embers of a connection they thought had long faded away. The 1813 social season will definitely be as unexpected as it will be beautiful and scandalous. Lady Whistledown shall have to purchase more ink... Disclaimer: All original rights and credits of this amazing series goes to its creators. And of course, the original creator of all characters and books, Julia Quinn and to Chris Van Duden, the creator/showrunner/executive producer of the Netflix Original Series: Bridgerton. The only new/added characters are Princess Charlotte, etc, and its ideas belong to me.

Colin Bridgerton finds himself stuck in a marriage to Penelope Featherington-someone he never would have considered pursuing in the first place. She was his best friend, the one person who understands him, but having to marry her because they were caught in a compromising situation, makes him feel anger towards her! Will they find a way to coexist together? Will they find their way to each other in the end?

NOTE: This was originally just titled "One Night", but now has additional chapters (with 2 more to come) This is a collection of scenes that I WISH had been included in the Netflix production of Bridgerton Season 3, part 2. This is purely my imagination, not from Julia Quinn or Shondaland, but intended to be scenes added to the production. Apologies that the first and second chapters are out of order. This is my first time writing and I was just going to write one scene, but got inspired to keep going.

What if it was Penelope who badmouthed Colin? How would Colin take it?

We begin two days after the Featherington Ball, when Colin finally realizes his feelings towards Penelope. But he's also realized that he is not worthy of her love. He has hurt her again and again, so what else can he do but step away and allow her to find happiness without him? Meanwhile, Penelope has burned so many times, and she has decided she's had enough. It's time to rise from the ashes and become the person she's always wanted to be, perhaps even earn the forgiveness of those she loves in the process. But are her mistakes too great to overcome? Are there any words that can erase what these two have done?

MIR: #1 PenelopeFeatherington #1 JuliaQuinn #1 Periodic #1 Ficlet Penelope Featherington was never the beautiful one, never the 'darling of the crowd' nor the 'diamond of the season'. But she was always there, along the edges of the balls. A wallflower. Watching and waiting. Hoping that he would finally look her way. But what would happen if he finds out her secret? For those who have read the books and fancy themselves in love with Mr. Bridgerton, and for those who aspire to have the wit and strength of one Miss Featherington. 2.24.21 *vanilla*
