    Summary

    “Ilya has been… I’m not sure. Working through something?” he starts. “Maybe he thinks he’s trying to work me through something.”
    “Go on.” She takes a delicate sip from her glass of white wine, and it makes Shane wish he’d ordered something more than sparkling water with lime. Stupid performance diet. Stupid hockey.
    “He keeps asking me for details about the sex we had.”
    “Like you and me?” Rose asks doing a little finger dance between them as she does.
    Shane nods.
    “Is he jealous?”
    “Maybe, but like he knows it was bad and wants to know why it was so bad and all that,” Shane explains. “He won’t really say why he’s asking all these questions about it. I’m not even sure he knows.”
    Rose gets a contemplative look. “Is he like floating the idea of a threesome?”

    OR

    Ilya (and Rose) talks Shane into a threesome. It's... a process.

    Summary

    “Weddings are supposed to be too much,” Yuna counters when Shane gets frustrated with her over her needling. His mother has made it clear that while many things about weddings may be too much, his guest list for his own wedding is “not nearly enough.”

    Maybe if the world were different—if hockey were different—he would be inviting his former teammates to his wedding. But it’s not and he’s not and he doesn’t like the implication his mother is making—that he should invite someone he hasn’t seen or wanted to see for the past 12 years to his wedding.

    OR: (not nearly) big (enough) gay wedding planning causes Shane to reflect on bullies of hockey past.

    Summary

    This year instead of trudging home to her mother’s flat, Penelope has been invited to spend the Christmas holiday with her best friend Eloise and her family. Instead of snipping with her sisters over whipped turnips (less carbs than potatoes), Penelope will be breaking bread with the Bridgertons (carbs be damned)—a real family that is huge and loving and, more specifically, loves Christmas so much that they typically spend the holiday skiing in the French Alps.

    And so, for the first time since she was seven years old, Penelope Featherington is looking forward to Christmas.

    OR

    A week in one of the poshest ski resort towns in the entire world. A week with Christmas themed Bridgerton family hijinks. A week that puts Penelope in insanely close proximity to her best friend's older brother Colin. What could go wrong?

    Summary

    Colin crosses the room and sits on the settee by the cold fireplace. “Come, bend over my knee.”

    “I haven’t been spanked since I was in leading strings,” Penelope tells him, her voice wary, but light, almost amused, as if she’s curious to see if he’s being serious even though he’s assured her he is.

    “Well then I shall reacquaint you.”

    Colin catches Penelope in the midst of a Whistledown delivery and, upon learning of the liberties she's taken with her safety and security, decides he needs to punish her.

    Summary

    “Not to worry, my dear,” Varley said, patting Penelope’s hand gently. “This world is a cruel place, specifically for women, but you have people in your court who will protect you. That’s more than most have.”
    Penelope gave Varley a wan smile. She appreciated the sentiment, but was it too much to ask for protection and love?
    -
    When Colin and Pen are forced to marry because of a misunderstanding, each find a reason to feel guilty. Penelope hates the idea that Colin will be forced to marry her out of duty rather than love, while Colin has just learned that the validity of their marriage will hinge on a barbaric centuries old wedding night tradition that Pen has no idea is coming.

    Summary

    “Oh Pen, come off it. Tell him the truth,” Eloise huffs. Penelope knows the correct answer. The correct answer threads the needle between preserving Colin’s feelings whilst making Eloise feel as if Penelope agrees with her. Except she doesn’t. And it’s hot. And she’s been drinking. And all of that is eroding her usually lock tight filter.

    “To be honest, I have always fancied the idea of a mustache ride,” Penelope admits, giving a shy little duck of her head.
    -
    Colin’s new look gives Penelope some very specific (and very dirty) ideasssss…. Ideas that Colin is all too happy to help her turn into experiences.

    Summary

    Of course there were rumors perpetuated about Penelope Featherington and Eloise Bridgerton amongst the wagging tongues of the mamas and gossips. Nothing of substance, just nods and winks about the “two women of no relation” who lived together during the off season. Penelope recognized their rumors as fear based murmurings rather than anyone with a true axe to grind (or information to trade) and steadfastly refused to print them in Whistledown both because everything they were insinuating was untrue and also because the last thing she wanted to do was draw further attention to the truth of her situation, which was more complicated (and scandalous) than any of those mamas would have ever expected.
    And if there was proof, it was staring Penelope right in the face in the form of her pristine white sheets.

    Summary

    Portia choked on her tea then recast her gaze on Penelope, offering a kinder look at the girl’s naivety. “There are a number of acts one might engage in within the bounds of marriage. Your husband will teach you what you need to know. But, you see, the marital act that begets children is more…specific.”
    “Shall I take notes, Mama?”
    “No. Listen, carefully.”
    “Very well then.” Penelope was very good indeed at listening carefully.

    -

    Portia gives Penelope "the talk" a little too late. It's not an isolated incident. In fact, late becomes a recurring theme.

    Summary

    Penelope knew the truth of her malady—call it hysteria or some other pretty name—she was lonesome. Her life was monotonous and dull, devoid of color. She had already reached out with both hands and grabbed for what little she was permitted to have and even some she wasn’t—balls, social events, a friendship with Eloise, Whistledown, independence. None of those erased the pain of a decade of being found wanting by the very men she was reared and raised to attract and serve. Dreams of being a wife and mother dying and curling into ash with every passing season.

    There had to be more and yet all she found behind it was melancholy. She knew it wasn’t something that country air would fix. Country house parties had plenty of fresh air but didn’t shift her mood. Instead, she just found herself looking into her future and saw… bleak nothingness.

    So yes, she knew she had to do something if she were to survive. Perhaps treatment for hysteria was the answer and Colin, it seemed, held the cure.

    Summary

    “What if you could get treatment for your hysteria even without the help of the doctor?” Colin said excitedly, pulling her to a stop with her gloved hand in his.
    “What are you proposing?”
    “Dr. Walker was most detailed in his descriptions of his work. That is to say, I am fairly certain that between what he has told me and what I already know, I could help you in his place.”
    Colin watched Penelope’s eyes widen at the proposal.
    “Oh Colin, are you serious?” she breathed, excitedly.
    “I would only treat you with utmost respect. And you could be fully comfortable with me as I am not a stranger.”
    “I would be forever indebted to you for even offering to help me as such.”

    OR

    Pen is suffering from what Colin is sure is hysteria but, as she is unmarried, she cannot obtain the services of the physician who treats the ailment. Naturally, Colin offers to treat her himself.

    Summary

    “No, no. It is simply…” Anthony started then gazed down into his glass, swirling the liquid there as he gathered his thoughts or courage, Colin wasn’t sure. “It is simply that as your marriage is upon you, we thought it best to sit you down and discuss the wedding night.”

    Colin looked back and forth between his brothers as if trying to determine if they were quite serious.

    “Oh yes, he is quite serious,” Benedict said with twinkle in his eye.

    Summary

    “The columnist who writes the Love and Sex column has had a medical emergency,” Penelope explains as she takes a fortifying sip of wine. “They want me to take over writing the column for her for an indefinite amount of time while she recovers.”
    Francesca gives Penelope an appraising look. “You’re nervous about this? Why?”
    “I suppose it’s two things,” Penelope says, looking into the middle distance between her friends. “First, it’s a lot of work.”
    “You’ve never been afraid of hard work, Pen,” Eloise offers.
    “Thank you, but second, and probably more importantly, I don’t think I have the requisite experience to do it well.”
    “Why? You’re a great writer,” Colin says from the corner where he’s been uncharacteristically quiet all night.
    Penelope feels herself flame red. “It’s not my writing that’s the issue.”
    --
    Or Penelope is given a work assignment to author a popular Sex Advice column but doesn’t feel she has had enough “experience” to do it well. Colin offers to “help.”

    Donna had once thought she’d be a lifer in politics. But when life threw her a curve ball even she couldn’t imagine, she was forced to re-evaluate what was most important to her and how she could be of most help – or perhaps least harm – to the people she’d once devoted her life.

    Summary

    “Josh!” Santos shouted after a beat where no one breathed much less moved.
    Josh immediately cleared his throat with a newly mumbled sorry. He fled hastily, even forgetting to close the connecting door to his office. But he couldn’t remain there even to pack up his belongings. Instead, his feet carried him across the West Wing, through the Colonnade, all the way to his wife’s office door where he carried himself right through and in a daze sunk into the chair in front of her desk.

     

    IDK how to summarize this without giving it away. Let's just say that Josh has an upsetting experience in the Oval Office. Donna tries to help him through it.
