    Summary

    Penelope Featherington is sure of two things: she is in love with her best friend, and he is not in love with her.

    Tired of wasting her feelings on a man who only sees her as Little Pen, Penelope sets out for her first London Season with the intent of pushing Colin Bridgerton out of her heart. It is time to focus on making a match with a gentleman who will love her in return. Penelope is determined to quiet her adventurous heart and catch the attention of the man Society has deemed the Unobtainable.

    If only Colin wouldn’t turn up around every corner, sweeping her off her feet, rescuing her from one unfortunate mishap after another. How is she supposed to forget him if he is always reminding her of why she adores him?

    Summary

    “I want a chance to earn my friend back.” He took a cautious step into the room. “I am whole-heartedly sorry for what I said! It was stupid and careless, and I wish I could undo it. Please let me make it up to you, to get us back to the confidence we shared before that thoughtless mistake?”

    Her eyes hardened. “There is no going back, Colin.” She folded her arms across her chest. “I never asked you to court me-”

    “I know, I-”

    “I have not finished!”

    Colin gaped at her. Pen could be sharp in her witticisms, and he now knew she could be vindictive and cold when wounded. But he’d never seen her speak with such self-possession before. He bowed his head apologetically and gestured for her to continue.

    Or...

    An alternative S3 based on the synopsis. Aimed to have it completed before S3 was released but took too long. It was fully plotted but only half-written when the show was released, so occasional influence from the show has crept in but I try to minimise this. Probably now a bit of 'fix fic' (sort of) for those who wanted it to take longer to rebuild their relationship, more Colin perspective, a different placing of the Whistledown reveal, and some Colin and Pen against the world! :-)

    Summary

    Colin leaves a night out with his brother confused, displeased- Other. To take a mistress- what could possibly be the appeal? How could he even think to stay there a moment longer, when the very thought made him sick?

    But as he walks home and reminisces, thinks of his wife and the respect he has for her, he remembers. Remembers that night in the carriage.

    And recalls her, Penelope, the love of his life, fresh from reaching her pinnacle at his hand, staring at the clean palm he outstretched to her with eyes wide as a lamb's, asking him But won't your family see me?

    Summary

    “And in that moment, I know—this isn’t survival. This is living.

    It’s him.

    It’s always been him.”

    ===

    Annie Cresta’s life has always been quiet—unremarkable, even. But everything changes the day she accidentally startles Finnick Odair. What begins as an unlikely moment sparks a friendship that deepens into something more. Yet in a world ruled by the Capitol, nothing is safe—not even love. And the Hunger Games wait for them both.

    Events prior to Annie's games, but prior to the 74th Games.
