    Summary

    When Colin opened the door for Penelope that day, he hadn’t realized that his life as he knew it was about to change. As he took her coat, it hadn’t occurred to him that he didn’t have all the time in the world to smile at her or enjoy her smiles or to jokingly battle with Eloise over who would have the honor of escorting her to the dining room where everyone was gathered. No, Penelope was his, ever since childhood, and he couldn’t conceive of a world where he didn’t have his best friend.

    Summary

    1815 was supposed to be unremarkable. Penelope Featherington was going to find a husband and Colin Bridgerton was going to prove his worth to his family and the ton. It seemed simple enough, until it was not.

    A mysterious tall brown haired man and short redheaded woman appeared uninvited at the Danbury ball and quickly turned Penelope and Colin's world upside down.

    A forced engagement, renewed search for the rubies, and a stirred up focus on Lady Whistledown put Penelope and Colin at the center of attention quickly.

    Who were these strange visitors/ How did they get here? How can they fix the mess they created before lives are ruined? Or is it too late?

    A Polin/Xfiles crossover that 3 people asked for.

    Summary

    Eloise blinked slowly. “Penelope. You're reading fanfiction?”

    “…Yes.”

    “For A Series of Scandals, The one that just got a high-budget HBO adaptation?”

    Penelope buried her face in her cardigan. “Yes...”

    The cardigan, a lovely shade of mustard that complemented her hair in a way that should have been illegal in several countries, did not offer the concealment she clearly hoped for. Instead, it served only to frame her mortification like an avant-garde portrait titled “Woman Contemplating The Abyss of Her Own Literary Folly.”

    “You're reading fanfiction for the series you secretly wrote under a pseudonym, about characters based on your own social circle, in which the fictional version of yourself is in an emotionally fraught, sexually repressed slow burn with a man based on my brother?”

    Penelope's face, or what was visible of it above the cardigan, was now achieving colors previously only seen in particularly enthusiastic sunsets. If embarrassment could be harnessed as an energy source, her current state could have powered a small city for approximately three weeks.
