Summary
My heart has been rendered devoid of feeling since your departure. I find myself utterly lost in your absence, bereft of the touch of your affectionate hands, left in desolation, consumed by a profound sense of longing, deeply enamored and yet so wretchedly unloved.
What is to become of me now, without you at my side to give some meaning to this arduous existence?
– excerpt from Mr. Colin Bridgerton’s personal journal, 20 of April, 1819***
In an alternative universe in which Penelope never stopped Colin and Marina from eloping, after near a decade of repressed pain and a devastating loss, Colin is granted a second chance to start all over.

Summary
“You shall kneel before me,” Marina purred, eyes glowing faintly violet.
Colin took a long sip of champagne and utterly unbothered by the crackling magic that surrounded him, replied, “I’d rather not.”
Offended by both his rejection and the way he pronounced “rather” with a posh lilt, Marina cursed him on the spot. Her spell was oddly specific and oddly sticky.
“You shall sleep until your True Omega arises,
Her slick your only saviour, should she surprise us.
No holy water, no spell, no sword nor flame,
Only Omega nectar, directly from her nether lips shall restore thy name.”And then — poof. Colin collapsed into an aesthetically-pleasing heap, cravat askew, top two buttons of his waistcoat skillfully undone, jawline immaculate.
The kingdom was plunged into mild panic.

Summary
Ilsa pushes the front door open, arduously heavy, and finds Ethan wavering on the apartment steps outside.
“Ilsa.” His ridiculous sunshine smile lights up his face, like he’s surprised to run into her here.
She leans against the doorway, palm braced on the door to hold it open. “What do you want?”
He doesn’t look good. If he were anyone else she’d assume he was drunk, but the exhausted, strung-out look on his face is a sober one. He’d been wandering around London for a while, too, judging by his wet hair and the soaked shoulders of his jacket.
“I’m—is this a bad time?”
“Extraordinarily.”
Ethan’s problem is that he thinks he can just show up unannounced on her doorstep after disappearing for four months. Ilsa’s problem is that she invites him inside.

Summary
Ilsa reaches for the wine bottle. It’s a twist-off cap, and she unscrews it easily. “I’m just saying,” she continues, unstacking the paper coffee cups and pouring each of them a glass. “I have a shower.”
“So you can look through my stuff while I’m vulnerable,” Benji finishes for her.
She smiles, sliding a cup his way. “If I wanted to do that I would have already.”
“Then why?”
“You can’t just accept I’m being nice to you?”
His eyes flick to Ethan. “Do you really think she’s ‘just being nice’ to us?”
By complete coincidence, Ilsa spots Benji and Ethan in the streets of Marbella, hanging on by a thread. On purpose, she decides to run into them.

Summary
Interactive chapter fic. Early S2. Plays nice with canon up through Ahoy Mateys, so expect canon V/D and lots of self-denial at first. Definitely an L/V fic, though. Gift fic for my beloved, lilamadison11. Somewhere near the middle of the fluff to angst scale. Can I call it flangst?
Logan presses the box into my palm and curls my fingers around it. I run my thumb over the nap of the velvet. "What's this?"
"Birthday present. I had it custom-made, so it can't be returned." He shrugs. Ducks his head again. "Toss it if you want. Or keep it. Whatever."

Summary
“This is my fault,” the Viscount said. “I should have taken him to a brothel long ago.” He gulped down his drink. “I should take him now.”
“What use would it have?” Benedict asked. “He’s already engaged, he’d reject the offer in favour of his beloved fiancé.”
“Beloved?” Anthony laughed humorlessly. “He’s too green. I bet you all it’d take for him to abandon this nonsense is to find a willing girl to wet his wick with.”
“What does that mean?” Penelope asked. She did not mean to, but the prospect of Colin saving himself from entrapment prompted her to blurt the question out.
After accidently hearing a rather crude declaration from Colin's older brother, Penelope decides to put the put it to the test.

Summary
Penelope was born as a Featherington, but she was always meant to be a Bridgerton. Her journey was never simple, never ordinary; it was a path carved by love and loss, by choices that defied expectations, and by a heart that refused to be bound by convention.
Through heartbreak and healing, through moments of despair and overwhelming joy, she discovered what it truly meant to live—for love, for family, for herself.
This is the story of Penelope Bridgerton—a woman who made vows, kept them, and found strength in the ones that kept her thriving.

Summary
Little prequel to The Flipside that fills in the backstory on Logan's struggle with addiction.
Set a few years down the road from high school. Logan hits rock bottom. Keith and Veronica help him back up.
Weevil cuts to the chase. “Logan’s in trouble.”
Veronica half laughs. “What else is new? I thought something was actually wrong.” She doesn’t have to work too hard to affect her uncaring tone. Logan and Veronica have broken up and made up many times. The last parting wasn’t particularly pleasant. Keith didn’t ask for details, but he could guess.
“He got into a fight at the In-N-Out.”
Veronica rolls her eyes. “Must be a day that ends in ‘y’.”
Weevil sighs. “You don’t know, do you?”
Veronica asks what they don’t know, and Keith’s gut clenches. It's always something.
“They found what’s left of his mother’s body.”

Summary
Years after Duncan leaves Neptune, he and Logan get the chance to say goodbye.
Even from far away, Logan recognizes him immediately — the set of his shoulders, the way he leans on his right leg and cocks his hand on his hip. It’s so familiar, and suddenly they are in the hallway at school, or playing video games, or giggling in the pool, splashing Lilly on her deck chair and making her curse like a sailor. Logan blinks, half-expecting him to disappear, but instead Duncan throws his head back and laughs. Just like he used to.
Logan smiles. He’d know his best friend anywhere.
