    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

    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

    “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

    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.

    “Alright Ms. Arts and Crafts, teach me how to make one of these.”

    She looked up and smirked, “And what do we say when we want something?”

    Summary

    Penelope Featherington has finally stepped into the spotlight, dazzling Mayfair with wit, warmth, and a string of eager suitors. But behind the fanfare, she leans on the one person who’s always seen her clearly: the shy, unassuming Colin Bridgerton, her oldest friend and most unexpected ally.
    When Colin offers to pose as her suitor to help her navigate the marriage mart, their arrangement sets off a quiet storm of longing, loyalty, and self-discovery. As Penelope faces the pressure of choosing a future, and Colin wrestles with what it means to be chosen, the line between friendship and something more begins to blur.
    Set against a backdrop of scandal, secrets, and lemon cake, this is a story of quiet devotion, missed signals, and the kind of love that hides in plain sight.

    Summary

    “Having a nice time, even after you were so reluctant to join us?” Fife asked, not even glancing Colin’s way.

    “Well enough,” Colin said, and he meant it. There was something enjoyable about watching one’s friends fawn over women well out of their league. And the dancing was quite entertaining for his own benefit, too.

    “You might like this next act,” Fife said with a knowing, mischievous grin. “I’ve seen her before. She’s quite something.”

    “This is a high-quality sort of place,” Colin retorted, trying not to roll his eyes. “They’re all quite something.”

    The first upbeat notes of “Maneater” by Nelly Furtado began to play over the speakers. “Just watch,” Fife directed, his smile widening.

    ~

    When Colin goes out for a stag night at a strip club, the last person he ever expects is up on the stage.

    He's angry.

    And turned on.

    ————

    “Nice to see you too, Eloise,” he says. “Where’s Pen?”
