The carriage stops at Bridgerton house with Colin and Penelope quite flustered. He invites her in with an exclamation of an intent to marry. But what if Francesca hadn't left early and no one had been home?  What if everyone had just gone to bed? What if they found themselves alone in a dark and quiet house? What if they temporarily lost all sense of propriety?

P.S. I finished watching pt 1 of season 3 for about the 8th time. Yes. I am guessing. It may have been more. I stared at the ceiling for a while, and this scene poured into my brain. I wrote it down to share with friends; but no one I associate with watches Bridgerton (side eye), so I hoped I'd find my Bridgerton peeps here! Love you!

P.S.S Although I started writing more than 20 years ago, it has been almost a decade since I really fleshed out a story, so thanks for reading and supporting my tentative step back into it. I hope to continue writing again on my own projects, as this little exercise has awakened my writer's soul. 

P.S.S.S Obviously, Shondaland, Netflix, Julia Quin, and all those involved own all rights to the characters and world - I don't claim anything in this blurb about Bridgerton.

35 parts Complete
Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal, is a beacon of regality, yet beneath her crown lies a woman determined to defy the conventional expectations of royalty. After an eventful year and a half in Prussia, Charlotte faces an unforeseen challenge during the social season of 1813: the necessity to find a suitable husband. This unexpected twist leaves her in a state of utter disbelief and confusion. Despite the adoration she receives and the persona she projects publicly, a lifetime of insecurities haunts her. They say that to love others, one must first love oneself. Now, the Princess Royal stands on the precipice of self-discovery and acceptance. The journey to self-love promises to unravel the layers of vulnerability beneath the majestic exterior she presents to the world. As the 1813 social season unfolds, it becomes evident that Charlotte has beguiled the three eldest Bridgerton brothers. Each, in his own right, is captivated by her presence. A Viscount, driven by duty; an artistic soul, yearning for creative pursuits; and an adventurer, dreaming of exploring distant lands. The stage is set for a romantic spectacle, but only one brother can claim the heart of The Princess Royal. This fanfic follows Season 1 of the Bridgerton Netflix series, based on the novel "The Duke and I" by Julia Quinn. - Book 1: The Princess Royal Book 1.5: The Duchess of Kent and Strathearn Book 2: The Duchess of Kent and Strathearn Disclaimer: All original rights and credits of this amazing series goes to its creators. And of course, the original creator of all characters and books, Julia Quinn and to Chris Van Duden, the creator/showrunner/executive producer of the Netflix Original Series: Bridgerton. The only new/added characters are Princess Charlotte, etc, and its ideas belong to me.

Peaches is a Featherington, and like her brash and horribly dressed sisters, she is to be thrown to the lions of the ton for this season's marriage market. She does not wish to find love or romance or to marry. So she is shocked when she finds she cannot resist no other than the second born Bridgerton. Benedict x OC Completed! 50,000 words Best ratings: #1 in Bridgerton, #1 in BenedictBridgerton Hope you enjoy πŸ’— Characters and overarching story do not belong to me! OC characters and storylines only. Some bits of the series have been changed to better fit with my story so not 100% accurate to the TV show or the books! The ages are a little inconsistent too and I apologise for that... In line with Quinn's books, Peaches would be about 15 - I imagine her around 22. I don't condone relationships with minors! I didn't really think anyone would read my book, so I didn't focus too much on ages being accurate to the original books! It's my first fic and I've made some mistakes but please stick with me! <3

23 parts Complete Mature
After a night of wonder under flowers and fireworks, Penelope Featherington thought she was on top of the world. Things seemed to go perfectly for once in her life. Until, her best friend discovers something she's been hiding for years. And to top it all off she overhears a conversation she was never meant to hear. And for the first time in her life Penelope truly feels like she's alone in the world. Penelope must look inside herself and decide once and for all if she will continue her usual wallflower ways or if it's time for her to step into the spotlight and claim the life she has always dreamed of having. Colin Bridgerton was, in his own estimation, perfectly happy being single. He enjoyed the occasional dance with the beautiful debutantes and his charming ways lead him to be quite a flirt. However he knew deep down it meant nothing. He was not in search of a wife, in fact he wasn't even ready to entertain the idea of finding one. He did however find himself involved in a rather deep and genuine friendship with one, Miss Penelope Featherington. But when his own foolish remarks threaten to ruin there relationship forever, he must decide whether he can let her go or if there is maybe something he hadn't seen in her before. Could Prince Charming (or rather Mr. Charming) truly set aside his rakish ways for one wallflower? Or will the secrets she's hiding tear them even farther apart? What happens when a wallflower blossoms?
