Summary
"Now," the boy (Colin, Colin, Colin) says, as he eases himself to his feet languorously, so he looms and teeters upon the wall. Penelope's breath catches in her throat — she stares up at him in frozen terror as he reaches a long arm out to snatch the top of the cherry tree, his body bowing elegantly into the nothingness of open air. One wrong move and he will tumble, she is sure of it. "Penelope with the Greek name and lovely face and hair like fire," (Penelope wonders if she might die from blushing), "if I throw you down some of the sweetest cherries from the top of the tree," (he begins to pluck and twist the green stems, the branches shaking precariously), "the ones the sun has kissed to perfect ripeness, the kind of cherries you have never tasted before in your life," (he pops one in his mouth and gives the rest of his speech pouted around it), "even as the daughter of a duke who always tastes the very best of everything — well, do you think you might favour me with a smile?"
Oh, she thinks (for even at fourteen she is decisive; knows her mind well). I am in love.
On the day she finds out she is to be married, Penelope falls in love

Summary
Lord Greer discovers Jack Featherington’s mine scheme and demands Penelope’s hand in marriage as payment for his silence. When he comes to collect his bride the morning after the Featherington ball, Penelope is shocked, but acquiesces without a fight after losing both Colin and Eloise.
After a spectacular failure of a season where his sister was almost ruined at the hands of Lady Whistledown, his fiancé left him at the altar, and his best friend cut him out of his life, Viscount Anthony Bridgerton has vowed to put off his duty to marry in order to focus on his family. He is doing well until Penelope Featherington returns and turns his world upside down with one look.
A Penthony story in 100-word drabbles where canon is so far in left field that you have to squint to see it at all.
WARNING: This is a Pen/Anthony story. If you can’t fathom them with anyone but their canon spouses, then DO NOT read this story because it is NOT for you.

Summary
Mistresses.
Benedict spoke of it casually, as though it were simply the done thing, as natural as keeping a horse or maintaining a club membership. Colin had nearly choked on his drink. Not from shock at his brother’s past, but from the sudden, clarifying realisation that this was yet another aspect of conventional manhood that simply did not fit him.
And for the first time, he does not feel lesser for it.
Colin comes home to his wife, clearly bothered, after his night out at White's. A quiet, honest conversation ensues.
And then some.
