    Summary

    “Pilot awake!”

    You tear your eyes from the myriad of glass tubing crowding the bunks. That was most definitely not the same automated voice that the computer had spoken with earlier. You turn around, and—

    Well. You have no fucking idea what you’re looking at.

    Your brain rapidly oscillates between fight or flight, fight or flight, before settling on the third option; freeze and scream. Your already dry and strained vocal cords squeeze and shred in protest, so it comes out less like shriek and more like a raspy whine. Get with the program, larynx!

    The creature makes some sort of shrill, musical noise back, waving its appendages at you. Which you can only assume is some sort of offensive posture. Holy shit.

    “Not worry! Rocky friend! Grace! Pilot friend awake!” The creature trills.

    Hail Mary's commanding officer wakes up two months late.

    In Emily's eyes, at least.

    From Wendell's perspective, the news is entirely bad.

    Summary

    “John,” she catches the footman’s eye as she hurries towards the door. “We are going out.”

    “Where to, Miss,” he asks neutrally, face polite but eyes twinkling.

    “It matters not,” she gestures vaguely, loosening her shoulders into a slump and sighing slightly. “I simply wish to be out of the house.”

    “Very well, Miss,” he opens the door for Eloise, trailing dutifully behind her as they make their way toward the carriage.

    ———

    Eloise struggles in the aftermath of season 2, but her blossoming friendship with the Bridgerton’s footman provides her solace.

    Summary

    'My husband used to write me long love letters as well.'

    Colin flinched, the pen slipping from his hand at the sound of her voice. The housekeeper stood over him, holding onto a silver tray.

    ‘I beg your pardon?’ he said.

    ***

    OR:

    Although Colin sends letters like clockwork, he receives no reply from his friend, Penelope Featherington.

    Is this what it feels like to lose one's mind?

    Summary

    “This is not happening Colin. I am not going to play any part in this, do you hear me?”

    “Of course, nobody would expect you to fall over at my feet, especially in light of my unforgivably rude comments last Season.” Colin said, all reason and calm as he collected his hat from a footman, “And what would be the entertainment in that? You must be permitted to test my mettle as a suitor. Indeed I am beginning to look forward to the chase.”

    “There will be no entertainment! No chase!” Penelope protested, panic steadily rising within her. “Colin-”

    “Good day, Miss Penelope.” Colin smiled, familiar laughter and devilry dancing on his handsome face. She watched in mute outrage as he tipped his hat to her and strolled out her front door.

    After his careless words ruined Penelope's prospects on the marriage mart, Colin is determined to do everything he can to restore her reputation and to find her a good match, even if it means pretending to court his best friend.

    However, outside forces with a grudge against the Bridgertons inadvertently transforms a wallflower into the most coveted prize of the London Season of 1815.
