    Summary

    It was a brilliant plan, all things considered.

    On paper and in the eyes of the public, they were a charming if oddly mismatched couple who somehow found love despite their differences. A fairy tale come to life, sighed the more romantic members of Ba Sing Se society.

    So it was almost a shame that Katara's courtship with Prince Zuko was ultimately nothing more than an act - otherwise, they might have been a perfect match, if not the perfect partners in crime.

    Written for Zutara Month 2022 and shamelessly influenced by both Pride and Prejudice and Bridgerton.

    Summary

    'Come on,' Colin said. 'I ought to get you to bed.'

    Penelope released his arms, putting a hand over her heaving bosom. 'Mr. Bridgerton— I am far too intoxicated for that kind of talk.’

     

    ***

    OR

    Penelope drinks too much at Kate and Anthony’s first ball of the season and makes a confession Colin never saw coming.

    But that’s not the only surprise of the night. Penelope and Colin’s drunken antics have attracted the attention of a few other members of the Ton, leading society to draw their own conclusions about what could possibly be going on between the pair.

    Summary

    Penelope swears that she will make it Aubrey Hall if it kills her. The universe takes up her challenge.

    Sans carriage and caught in the worst storm that has struck England in living memory, Penelope bumps into a familiar face on the road (what a mystery who could it possibly be!). Their only hope of a shelter in the storm requires a degree of... creative... application of the truth and Penelope finds herself wondering how a young lady is to comport herself when the bounds of propriety have been all but swept away.

    Enter Colin, who has a suggestion or two.
