    Summary

    Penelope Featherington is not sick.
    It doesn’t matter if her throat feels scratchy; she can email if she loses her voice.
    It doesn’t matter if her head aches; she keeps a bottle of pain relievers in her purse.
    It doesn’t matter if the world looks a little blurry; nobody else is in the office today, so nobody would know if she passed out! It would be like a– like a power nap!

    Or: Penelope Featherington is sick. Colin Bridgerton takes care of her.

    Summary

    Penelope runs a GCSE training academy.
    Colin offers to help co-teach some courses during one of his long sojourns in London.

    Everything is dandy.

    Except:

    • Colin wears glasses to work. Slutty glasses. Mind-scrambling, sanity-demolishing glasses
    • He seems to be looking at her in increasingly unplatonic ways
    • Their students keep mistaking them for a married couple and calling her Mrs. Bridgerton

    Summary

    Shaking off the daze, he becomes aware that Anthony is staring at him through the mirror pensively, eyes bobbing up and down from his chest to his eyes. “You should probably tell her you have feelings for her before you show her that.”

    “Feelings?” Colin turns to look at his brother.

    “You cannot be this dense, Colin,” Anthony says, expression deadpan.

    “Dense about what?” Colin says exasperatedly. “It’s just a tattoo. I already have a bunch of them. Besides, I think she’ll find it funny.”

    “You wanna tell a joke? Send her a meme. You don’t get a tattoo of her name.” Anthony rolls his eyes and shakes his head, which, to be fair, is what he does at most of the things Colin says anyway.

    or; the one where colin get's pen's name tattooed and realizes he's in love with her.

    Summary

    There are two things that Colin Bridgerton's family knew to be true:
    1) Colin was restless, in his mind, in his body, in his soul
    2) Colin did NOT share food

    So what happened when the little girl from across the street showed up and challenged everything they thought they knew?

    Summary

    Colin to Pen
    9 Dec
    [07:03]

    Colin: I need a favour
    Colin: also hi
    Colin: good morning

    The phone vibrates against the bathroom counter, and Penelope hates the way her heart does this little flip in her chest at the sight of his name flickering at the top of her notifications. She stills, eyeliner poised in her hand, and contemplates answering. He never texts this early, so it is likely whatever he needs is important.

    But she is running late.

    And, more importantly, she is trying to be better about these sorts of things.
