Summary
In a kingdom built on legacy and secrets, one princess is forced to become something more.
Princess Penelope Featherington has always lived in the shadow of her mother’s crown and her sisters’ ambitions. Sheltered but sharp, she knows the quiet power of observation in a court ruled by grace, tradition, and expectation. But when a long-absent cousin returns to the palace, the delicate balance of her world begins to unravel.
In one terrible night, everything changes.
Torn from the only life she’s ever known, Penelope must navigate a realm filled with danger, deception, and old magic—where loyalty is fragile, power is deadly, and survival might demand more than she’s ever been taught to give.
A royal fantasy of betrayal, resilience, and a girl who was never meant to rule… until she must. -

Summary
Alpha Colin Bridgerton finds his (soul)mate in Human Penelope Featherington-
Colin saw Penelope's hesitation at the meaning. "You don't have to say anything back. Regardless of what I say or do, you're not obligated to do anything or say anything back." He smiled.
She doesn't? "You...don't want anything from me?" Confusion was laced in her voice.
"Oh, make no mistake. I want everything from you." He growled and tightened his hold on her. "I just don't want anything that you're not willing to give."
Colin was amused with the confused look she's giving him. "Your happiness and well-being are all that matters to me. If you're happy, I am too." He grinned when she opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out.
The Alpha and his Mate.

Summary
Ten years ago, Mayfair buried a girl it never truly saw.
Miss Penelope Featherington—spinster, wallflower, quiet witness—vanished one fog-draped morning near the Brighton cliffs. No farewell. No body. Only a satchel of relics: a locket, a fan, a scrap of yellow muslin stiff with salt and something darker. Her mother’s scream that day did not echo—it shattered, and in its wake, the ton fell to its knees in guilt too late to matter. Lady Whistledown, in a final, funereal column, declared Penelope dead and vanished herself, leaving society to stew in the silence of its own cruelty. The Queen anointed her “The Royal Wallflower.” The Bridgertons set a place for her at every birthday dinner. And Mayfair, for a decade, learned to breathe around the hollow where her kindness used to be.
Then, without warning, the columns returned.
And then— she arrived.
or
Lady Whistledown comes back for revenge and Penelope Featherington hides in not so plain sight.

Summary
“Coooliiiiinnnnn,” she giggles. “I am in your head, Colin. You will do whatever I say,” more giggles, “now, buy me some of that candyfloss.”
He’s so glad he insisted that Penelope be his woman in the van for this surveillance operation because these little giggles right in his ear are the greatest sounds he’s ever heard.
“We’re professionals, Pen,” he says but is clearly giggling too. “And of course I will do whatever you say, but you know you don’t need to be in my head for that.”
“Hhhmmmmmmm, interesting,” she says in a low sultry voice.
OK, that was the greatest sound he’s ever heard. Fuck, that was sexy!
Colin, stop it!... this is not the time or the place for your insane thoughts. She... is... not… interested… in… you! She’s going on a date with Debling TONIGHT! Now get your bloody head in the game. We've got a drug lord to catch.

Summary
Life had taught Penelope that first impressions never lie. More precisely, bad first impressions never lie. So when her new boss is rude during their first few encounters, she just does her work and gives him the cold shoulder. The problem is, the more she tries to keep him in his place, the more he tries to impress her.
Colin takes pride in his relationships, both in his personal life and at work. He was always the popular one. Lately, however, his romantic life has gone to shreds, and at work, his new assistant probably hates him, God knows why. It would be fine if she weren't so intriguing and kind to everyone except him.

Summary
Sixteen-year-old Penelope Featherington is dreading summer. Instead of staying home with books and peace, she’s shipped off to a prestigious camp with too many rules, too many secrets, and far too much dancing. Thrown into a world ruled by Alpha, Beta, and Omega dynamics, Penelope feels like the odd girl out—until a sarcastic roommate, a charming (and annoyingly insightful) instructor, and a mysterious tradition begin to shift everything she thought she knew.
As whispers of legacy, partnership, and truth swirl through moonlit paths and echoing halls, Penelope finds herself unraveling more than just dance steps. What starts as awkward stumbles and sharp learning curves slowly turns into something far more personal—and possibly magical.

Summary
'It’s been nearly a year since the first time they did this.
That time was rushed and frantic. Like there was a risk of someone putting a stop to it and hauling them apart. Like they would die if they didn’t have each other right then and there.
This time is the same, but different. No one is going to stop this. Certainly not her. But it is still frantic and needy. '
----
Colin and Penelope have been friends for years.
They have been friends with benefits for a year.

Summary

Weeks later and entirely unplanned, Penelope ends up back in the UK, and enrols at the same university as Colin.
Will they be able to recapture that summer lovin' feeling?

This is inspired by Grease the movie but will only loosely follow that storyline. There'll be no dance-offs, car races etc. It's not set in the 1950s, instead I'm writing about the period when I was at uni, the mid-1990s.I'm going to try and keep this to a mature rating but the spice level may increase to explicit if these two become too horny 😅
Still a work in progress but almost finished so let's see how this goes!

This came about when FatalFantasies_26 mentioned Grease in passing and I suddenly thought how well the Danny/Sandy reunion and rejection fitted with Colin's rejection of Penelope at the end of season 2 in Bridgerton. So an idea was hatched. Then I threw around a few ideas with FlyByFrankie and it gradually began to percolate into something.

Summary
What if Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka was inspired by a Regency Era lord obsessed with cacao beans?
Viscount William Wonka has passed away, leaving no heirs. While the Queen could grant the title to someone of her choosing in recognition of their loyalty or service to the crown, she decides instead to have a little fun this season. She is going to choose five untitled sons to participate in a competition to win the title and estate of the recently deceased lord. With the help of their wife or betrothed, they will compete to win. But what happens if a chosen untitled son has not yet found his bride-to-be?
Inspired by a comment on Threads that wondered what a Wonka-themed Bridgerton fanfic would be like.

Summary
Penelope Featherington is 25 years old. She has just finished her studies - and her third manuscript of a romance novel. Her brother-in-law Albion Finch was supposed to hand it over to Agatha Danbury, but it inadvertently ended up among the files of Anthony Bridgerton, who not only instantly offered her a publishing contract for several volumes, but also hired her as the new editor at his publishing house, Bridgerton Press. Apart from Anthony, only Agatha Danbury knows that she is the author of Lady Whistledown's new books, the first volume of which will be published in a few weeks' time.
On her first day, Penelope not only gets to meet the Bridgerton siblings, but also her best friend Edwina Sharma and her sister Kate Sharma, who guides her through the company. -
