    Summary

    When Penelope Featherington made her debut into society, she harbored no great expectations. She had resigned herself to the notion that her beauty was unlikely to draw a admirers. Yet, she found solace in one constant: Colin Bridgerton, was always there to claim her hand for a dance.
    But with Colin’s attentions fixed on Marina Thompson, Penelope knew her heart was destined for heartbreak. How, then, had she found herself in the dimly lit garden with Colin’s fervent plea? He begged her—her—to ensnare him in marriage, not Marina.
    "Pen, I implore you—trap me in a marriage instead! I beg of you!"

    Summary

    From the moment of their accidental meeting as young children through the trauma of hurt and loss, the heartbreak of adolescence, and the confusion of young adulthood, Colin and Penelope's connection anchors them both.

    This story aims for hurt and comfort in equal measure as it follows the "platonic best friends" (really, though?) as they grow up, with time jumps between each chapter as we see them navigate their lives together. Their story is one of true friends to lovers, where lines blur and it's hard to see where friendship ends and love begins, because perhaps they've been together all along.

    *CW: This is NOT a dark fic, but does contain mature themes, specifically a child abuse storyline.*

    Summary

    The chattering masses of people he passed didn’t know it yet, but they would one day fear the half-drowned nine year old shaking from the cold and the effects of the plague.

    Then again, no one knew much about Kaz Brekker. They didn’t know he wasn’t from the Barrel or that he’d once had a family. They never guessed where the rasp in his young voice came from. They certainly didn’t know why he really wore gloves. Most weren’t even convinced he was human. No one ever suspected that Kaz Brekker was deaf.

    *** Basically a random story of what if Kaz went deaf from the plague. It starts sort of pre-canon and has expanded. I am bad at summaries so read the first chapter if you want to get a feel for what this story is.
