    Summary

    It's the Trowbridge Ball. Lots of things are supposed to happen here; however, our Lady Whistledown heard something she can NOT write about, but she can't ignore it either.

    Enter our favorite hero, one Colin Bridgerton. While we are expecting fun banter and a barb (and a very friendly glance), everything changes.

    OR

    What if Penelope stumbled into dangerous information that could harm the crown, the country, and herself if she printed it? And what if she had a very good friend willing to support her from the very first moment?
    What ripple effects will this have, and not just to our plot-busting duo, but to the wider group of characters?

    (This idea came fully formed during a rewatch this weekend, and I couldn't stop thinking about it!)

    Summary

    Colin Bridgerton returns home from three years’ worth of traveling to find that everything and everyone in the Ton is just the same as the way he left them. At least, that is what seems to be the case until he attends the first ball of the season at Lady Danbury’s estate and reunites with his dear friend and most consistent correspondent, Penelope Featherington. It is not long into their first dance that the rug is pulled from beneath both of their feet and everything, quite literally everything, between them changes.

    --

    Or, Colin is an Alpha, Penelope might not really be a Beta, and they are bonded in a way that defies logic and precedence.

    Summary

    Penelope has been baking for her best friends older brother for years. Each cream filled cake and delectable cookie was created with love but 20 years and a bakery shop later - he’s still oblivious to her feelings.

    Summary

    It's all his brother's fault.

    If he hadn't been running late, Collin wouldn't have snooped and if hadn't snooped he would have never stumbled across those pictures of Penelope.

    Summary

    Based on this prompt from the Bridgerton Kinkmeme:

    Colin and Penelope get caught in a downpour and are soaked through. They go to one of their apartments and peel off their clothes. One thing leads to another.
