    Summary

    "You don't need to be experienced," Frank said, his voice just as low. "Some people like inexperience."

    "Really?" Mel flushed, her eyes darting between his as her cheeks grew noticeably redder. "I, um… I still wish I had more experience, anyhow. I've thought of just asking a friend some day if I could… practice, with them."

    Frank titled his head to one side, his small smile widening into something gentle and goofy. "Oh really? Have anyone in mind?"

    In which Frank hooks up with Mel a mere twenty-four hours after he and Abby agree to separate. "Just one time" has aftereffects that neither are prepared for… especially when Abby comes to Frank with life-altering news of her own.

    Summary

    "You need to focus now, OK? You need to talk to me. I'm so sorry this is happening and we can talk about options after but right now I need you to snap out of it. Cause otherwise they're gonna pump you full of drugs and give you a C-section and God knows what else and I need you right now. Please Mel? I need you."

    Summary

    He froze. His mind finally putting all the pieces together.

    It wasn’t just the fireworks at all.

    They had a gun, now pointed in his direction. Another loud blast ricocheted through the awning.

    Fuck.

    He had to get out of there.

    He spun on his heel and immediately ran like he had never run before. His heart felt like it was in his throat. His mind simultaneously moving at the speed of sound and not forming any coherent thoughts at all.

    The only thing he could think of was Mel.

    Summary

    Pen sends a risky text to Colin even though they're at a family gathering. Even though they're not together. Even though they have never, EVER done anything of the sort before. But it's just a joke, so it's probably fine, right? Right???

    Summary

    For the first time since she’d met her on their first day in the Pitt, Mel thinks she sees Santos blush. “Uh, nope,” she says quickly. “Mel! Truth ‘r dare?”

    “Truth,” Mel says, as usual.

    Santos looks like she was ready for this and immediately asks, too clearly considering how drunk she was, “Who here do you have a crush on?”

    Summary

    In hindsight, watching old reruns of 'Didn't Even Know I was Pregnant' was probably not her best move. Watching eight episodes in a row was probably her next bad move, but she was invested in the stories of these women; she just kept pressing play even after 2 a.m. passed.

    She becomes convinced, when the cramping goes lower in her belly, that she is having a surprise baby.

    Summary

    Abby considered herself to be a graceful person. She remained graceful when she accidentally got pregnant during undergrad, resulting in her and Frank’s shotgun wedding. She also kept that same grace when her husband admitted he was a drug addict and went to rehab, leaving her to take care of both of their young children by herself.

    If she could navigate all of that with her dignity mostly intact, she figured she could manage a beginner ballet class.

    OR: Abby and Mel meet at ballet class. Abby knows who she is; Mel doesn’t.

    He and his platonic decency are both in shambles by the time she buckles her seatbelt. They both seem to register it in real time while he drives her home.

    Maybe, just maybe, she doesn't want anyone else at the end of the night. And maybe he stayed awake all evening with no one else left in his life to wait up for, hoping she would give him a reason to be needed.

    Summary

    “Can we be closer?”

    “How much closer?” His eyes, blue and dark and watching her so intently, make her feel too vulnerable. But she might start crawling up the walls if she can’t get a handle on this, and that makes her braver than she ever thought she would be. She shifts, rocking her hips forward, watching his response, the way his mouth parts with a sigh and his fingers tighten against her hips. “You want me inside you?”

     

    She knows she’s blushing; she wilts against him. Her tits press into his chest and his breath is hot along her jaw when she leans in and drags her nose along his temple. “I’ll be so still, so good,” she whispers, a barely-there plea for him to anchor her somehow. “Like maybe,” she explains, “if you fill me up, I won’t have any room to think about anything else.”

    or; friends help friends

    Summary

    Penelope is celebrating the festive season at Aubrey Hall with her favorite family, but all she really wants for Christmas is to spend it with Colin, who is not meant to return from his tour until the start of the social season—or so she thinks.

    After his unexpected arrival home, the two share a moment in front of his family and his meddlesome siblings take it upon themselves to convince their brother to make her a Bridgerton, once and for all.

    Summary

    She doesn’t want to be angry with Colin, but she is. She knows that his laugh wasn’t one of malice, that he was just joking around with his brothers- but still, she was the joke, and that’s the thing she can’t quite get past. Penelope had never once expected Colin to love her the way that she loved him, she’s not an idiot, but she’d hoped that- after over a decade of friendship- he’d have a little more respect for her. 

     

    Why is she crying over him anyways? Why is she crying over a man who clearly doesn’t care about her as much as he said he did? A man who’s taken her and her friendship for granted? It’s not like Colin’s so great, certainly not a guy worth spilling tears over. Colin’s… He… 

     

    Fuck. Why can’t she think of any of his flaws?

     

    Well, that’s going to change. 

     

    Penelope wipes her tears and grabs an empty notebook from her room, she sits at her desk and immediately begins writing. 

     

    Reasons Why Colin Bridgerton Isn’t That Great

     

    Penelope writes down Colin's flaws in a journal to get over him, it goes about as well as you'd expect.

    Summary

    For a moment that seemed to draw on for an hour, nobody said anything, the awkward shock of whatever the hell had just occurred settling between them all. Garcia turned toward Frank slowly.

    “What the fuck is up with ER Barbie today?” she asked. “Did Poison Ivy over there key her car or something?”

    Santos had to cover her mouth to stifle the laugh that burst out. She would think this was hilarious. He bit his tongue so he didn’t say anything he’d regret - they were just beginning to tolerate each other.

    Frank stared out the closed doors. “I have no idea.”

    or: the one where an overconfident intern openly flirts with Frank, and unleashes a side of Mel nobody has seen before.
