    Summary

    As illogical as it is, the whole thing is Justin Timberlake’s fault.

    Wherein these two idiots watch the movie Friends with Benefits, discuss the merits (and lack thereof) of such a thing, and then decide, like the dummies they are, to maybe, possibly... give it a go?

    It goes about as well as one could expect.

    Summary

    The Bridgertons have always been a competitive bunch, never more so than when they are sequestered away from the judgmental eyes of the ton while staying at Aubrey Hall. However, when the family questions Colin’s sudden success during a casual game of Buffy Gruffy, he starts to wonder if he’s truly that perceptive or if it all has to do with a specific red-headed family friend sitting across from him.

    Summary

    'Hey, you tried to call me?' he said.

    'I tried to…' she trailed off.

    Oh fuck.

    In a sudden flash what she'd done came back to her. She had completely forgotten, most of the night was a drunken haze. The voicemail she'd left. The things she'd said.

    Summary

    "I would like to marry," Penelope said bluntly. She looked him directly in the eye, daring him to disagree.

    "Right." Colin gave a slow nod of the head, clearly taken aback by the declaration. His eyes had gone wide, giving him a look that was reminiscent of cornered prey.

    It seemed that the heavens were intent upon tormenting her.

    "Not you," she managed to say evenly, although she felt tumultuous waves rocking the boat that was her composure.

    "No, of course not," he agreed hastily, embarrassment evident on his face.

    Summary

    “You punched Theo? Did he try something with you? Did he hurt you?” 

     

    “No! Oh my God, no, not at all!”

     

    “Then why the hell did you have to punch him?” Colin asks, voice raising slightly. “If he didn’t do anything, was it something that he said? Did he disrespect you?” 

     

    “I- well, yes, a little bit but-”

     

    “Right, I’m gonna kill him.”

     

    “What?” Penelope says as he all but storms past her. “Colin, wait! I haven’t told you the whole story yet!”

     

    But he’s already storming down the stairs. “Sharpe, I swear to God I’m gonna…”

     

    Colin’s words escape him as he tries to comprehend the sight in front of him. Theo, tied up, gagged with his own tie. He blinks, and then he turns to Penelope. 

     

    "Okay, so I know that this looks bad, but hear me out…”

     

    In which Penelope has to hold Theo hostage to stop him from ruining Eloise's wedding, and the only person around to help her is her ex-boyfriend that she just had a one night stand with. What could go possibly wrong?
