    Summary

    After another detour, another hour in traffic, and then another detour, they’re finally rolling through a mostly clear, fairly deserted stretch of road. Then, the GPS on the screen loses signal.

    “Fuck,” he mutters. “Can you check your cell?”

    Penelope does, but there’s not even a hint of a bar. For good measure, she checks his, but it’s just as signal-less.

    “I can’t believe we’re lost,” she says with a giggle. “You’re gonna be hungry soon.”

    “You afraid you’re gonna get eaten first?” he asks with a stupidly charming grin. Penelope nudges him with her elbow.

    “If we turn back now, we’re going to end up doing this for another five hours,” Colin whines. “And I’m worried I’ll probably get us more lost with how all the detours ended up.”

    “There was a sign for an inn not that far back. Do you want to try our luck?” she asks him. He purses his lips.

    “Probably a better idea, and at least we can be warm inside. I’m dying to be vertical again,” he agrees.

    or; penelope and colin get lost on their way to aubrey hall and stay at an inn on christmas.

    Summary

    "He's been gone too long.

    It always hits him like this, it always seems to fall over him all at once. When intricate buildings and foreign cuisine and strangers’ faces are no longer endless and exciting new beauty but instead reminders of home.

    The walls here remind him of the hall where the debutants make their attempted marks. The stairs up to the gallery are carpeted, and as the soles of his boots lay upon each one, the give sends him right back to the steps at Bridgerton House. The light is even shining similarly to how it does back in England, and perhaps the sun is the same everywhere but he never seems to notice that until the pain of distance becomes ineludible.

    Yes, he feels it right behind his heart, in the way he swallows more thickly as he wakes now. It’s in each breath, as if the air here just isn't quite right… 

    That woman’s hair is so much like…

    Christ.

    It is endless.

    It is time to go home.

    He won't, though. Not for a while. Never does."

    Summary

    “We’re friends. I’m happy to do you a favour.”

    She really does mean it. There is nothing Penelope wouldn’t do for Colin Bridgerton.

    But then he raises his eyebrows, clears his throat, and says, “I was wondering if you might consider letting me fuck you and pretend that I am trying to get you pregnant.” He pauses, pondering before he adds: “Please.”

    ---

    Or, after a series of increasingly unhinged sex dreams, Colin asks Penelope if he can roleplay getting her pregnant. Platonically, of course. That should get it out of his system.

    Summary

    The late Lords Bridgerton and Featherington arranged their children’s future marriage to settle a debt, unbeknownst to either of their families. But Colin’s 23rd birthday sets forth the agreement these two fathers made long ago.

    Penelope knew that Colin would be a gentleman and honor his father’s wishes, and Colin knew that Penelope was torn between wanting a love match and securing her future. Penelope didn’t know if she could be married to Colin, whom she loved with her whole heart though he did not love her back in the same way. And Colin was determined to convince her he was worthy to call her his wife.
