    Summary

    Violet Bridgerton has had enough of her three eldest sons refusing to engage with the marriage mart. She has seen her daughters Daphne and Francesca married in the last four seasons but she wants more grandchildren and she wants them now.

    And so, in the week before the whole family and ton are due to descend on Aubrey Hall for the annual Hearts and Flowers Ball, Lady Violet has invited a select group of eligible ladies to the Hall to participate in a series of challenges where the ultimate prize is up for grabs: marriage to one of the three oldest Bridgerton brothers. Penelope Featherington is on her fourth year on the mart with no prospects.

    multichap fic I will correct the chapter count on update.
    Whistledown exists, Colin didn’t make any foolish declarations in the Featherington gardens, Penelope and Eloise are grand. Prudence is still unmarried. This started out as a purely crack fic but I accidentally kept adding plot and making myself cry. There is still quite a lot of crack though. If you crave period accuracy, sorry. I researched some bits with fervour and then hugged an anachronism or two for the giggles.
    I’m trying to be consistent, but I make the rules and my brain is wonky).

    Summary

    Penelope is quiet for a long while after he nodded his head and confirmed he was inquiring about whether or not she has changed her mind about having a baby with him.

    "I…" she starts before swallowing once. "Well, I suppose as the years have gone on… I have imagined it a time or two, yes."

    Colin knows she is telling the truth, and for the first time in a long time, he is also able to read her and surmise there is more still she is holding back.

    "Is that something you wish for?" he asks cautiously. "A babe? One of your own?"

    Pen's big, pale blue eyes blink at him twice slowly before she starts nibbling on her lip in a decidedly nervous gesture. "That is… We did not… We married for other purposes. I do not expect—"

    "I am not asking what you expect," he interrupts, keeping his tone gentle, though, so as not to scare her out of this spell of vulnerability he's found her in tonight. "I am asking simply what you desire for yourself. Do you want a baby, Pen?"

    "Yes."

    --

    Or, regency era Penelope and Colin have been in marriage of convenience for five years and decide to have a child together—platonically of course.

    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.

    Summary

    Penelope finds that she can no longer publish under Portia Featherington's nose.

    Violet Bridgerton can no longer tolerate her unmarried children rampaging through good society and Benedict pays for his brothers' mistakes.

    Genevieve Delacroix believes she can kill many a bird with a single marriage.

    __

    “It really would take far too long for your thoughts to catch up with mine.”

    “You’re talking about me taking a wife again?” Benedict studied Genevieve’s all too-knowing smile. “You mean…” He looked down the hall. “You’re suggesting I marry Penelope?”

    “Am I as mad as Lord Fife?” Genevieve asked warningly.
