Can't believe I finally get to talk about this story, but I've been writing a fake dating au, we're 4 chapters in so far with more to come, there's chaos, there's jealousy, there's pining and there's only one bed. Check it out!

Here's a little sneak peek of the latest chapter

 I’m here for you. If you’re ever feeling thrown off, or stressed or anything, you can tell me. I’m not just your fake girlfriend, I’m your friend. You can talk to me.”  “I know, Pen,” he told her gratefully, eyes glinting with a tiny bit of mischief. “But you’re wrong about one thing.”  “I am? What?”  “You’re not just my friend,” Colin said. Penelope cursed her heart for how quickly it sped up at his words, even when her brain knew he didn’t mean them the way they sounded. “You’re my best friend. You always have been.”  She smiled softly. “You’re my best friend too, Colin.”  His face broke out into a grin. “ Please say that again so I record it and send it to Eloise. I’m begging you.” “Best male friend,” Penelope amended with a giggle. “And you know that I love you and El equally.” “Sure, Pen, whatever you say,” he smirked at her, leaning in a little closer, she hoped the way her breath caught in her throat wasn’t too obvious. “But we both know the truth.” 

Have a read of the rest here!

After a brief writing hiatus due to a broken laptop, I'm finally back! And I have a new chapter of my Cinderella twist fic!

Sneak Peek "It will look like I have fallen madly in love with a mystery woman, and once the night is over, you simply need not come forward with your identity. I will then play the part of the devastated prince, unable to fall in love with anyone else, and my parents will have so much sympathy for me, they will have no choice but to allow me to travel in order to recover from my heartbreak. You get to come to a ball like you have always dreamed of, and I get out of these pesky marriage plans.” He looked at her eagerly. “What do you think?” Penelope could only stare at him, dropping her hand from his grasp. “I think… that you are quite mad.” “It is the perfect plan!” “It is insane.” “Why?” the prince challenged. “Really, Pen, give me one good reason why it will not work.” “I can give you a hundred!” His lips quirked into an amused smile. “Well, perhaps, start with one and then we can work through the rest.”

I've got something quite fun for one of today's prompt (royalty au), cinderella with a little twist!

Sneak Peek He was rather good at this spying business, Colin thought to himself smugly. Perhaps he needed to put this to good use. He could find out who was hiding all the chocolate macarons, and have a serious discussion with whoever the thief was because chocolate macarons were so clearly the best and to hide them was nothing short of an act of cruelty, an offence punishable by- Just like that, he was assaulted by a devilishly yellow head covering. It hit him square in the face, knocking him into a puddle of mud behind him.  “Oh my!” He heard a horrified voice cry out. Colin opened his eyes to see Eloise’s friend standing right before his eyes. “My sincerest apologies! The wind knocked my hat clean off my head! Are you alright? Would you like some help? I hope you have not been hurt!”  Colin blinked, processing the absurdity of the situation he found himself in. This morning, he had been unsure if Penelope even existed, and now here she was, standing before him and apologising profusely as he lay in the dirt. What peculiar proof of a person’s existence. He could not help himself, he burst out laughing. “Well, that was not very well done of me, was it?”  Penelope blinked at him as Eloise came to her side. She recognised him instantly, irritation flashing across her face. “Colin, what on earth are you doing here?”  “ Colin? As in, your brother, the… the…” she turned to him, eyes shining with mortification. “Your Highness, I am ever so sorry for my carelessness, I-”  “Oh, do not worry, there is no need to apologise,”

New fic for Polin Week, hope you enjoy it because it has ALL the angst!

Sneak Peek “Oh husband,” Colin looked up at the sound of his wife’s melodic voice. She had a sweet smile on her face as she entered, holding Thomas. Normally, the sight of her with their son would have him beaming, but he was too immersed in a world of anguish to manage it. “Thomas here misses his Pa- Are you crying? Has something happened? What is wrong, darling?”  The obvious concern painting her tone only made him wish to cry more. She was such a wonderful woman, kind and beautiful and oh so caring- and he did not deserve her. He had hurt her, and he would loath himself forever. “I…” Pen quickly called Rae, handing Thomas to her and assuring her they would be with him soon. She came closer, stopping as she seemed to recognise what it was that he was reading. “Is that my journal? Why are you reading that?”  “I-I did not mean to, truly,” he explained through his tears. “Not at first. I only intended to put it away for you because you left it open on the desk, but then I caught a sentence and I…”  “Could not help yourself?” Penelope finished for him, giving him the smallest of smiles. “I know the feeling well.”  Colin remembered how shocked, how apologetic Pen had been when he first caught her with his writing, and he really should have been giving her a similar reaction now. If anything, his reaction to being caught out should have been more apologetic, he had read far more than Pen had, granted that was only a few journal entries, but it was far more than he should have read. Each journal entry, each glimpse at her despair, had pulled him in deeper, and he was desperate for the whole picture. He would give her every apology she deserved and more for reading her private writing, but his guilt towards the past was currently too great to make room for anything else.  “I should have put it away,” Colin admitted with nowhere near as much remorse as he should have. That would have to come later. “Yes, you should have,” said evenly, “but that is not what concerns me right now.” “It’s not?” “No, what concerns me is the fact that you are crying.”

PROMPT TIME!!!

"Would it be alright if we cuddled?"

THANKS ILY

Hi you're the best and ily :))

Tw for references to self harm with this prompt, nothing too graphic but please read with caution <3

Sneak Peek He had that beautiful mussed hair, his slip swollen from her kisses- fuck she wanted to kiss him silly. Why did she stop him again? Oh, right. Penelope sighed, what she had with Colin was pure bliss, but she wanted more than that. She wanted more than the honeymoon stage, she wanted the real, the stable, the regular everyday. She wanted that dreamlike tint to turn into full on reality one day. She’d once heard her mother say that after those first few fantasy filled months, the mundane set in, but she had a feeling that, even when the honeymoon stage faded, nothing could be mundane with her and Colin. And even if it was, she didn’t care, she would be happy as long as she was with him. She wanted everything with Colin. The issue was that she couldn’t have everything with Colin unless she told him everything.  Penelope mentally prepared herself, she said she wanted the dreamlike shimmer to go away, and nothing would shake it off quite like this. She just had to tell him, and hope that he would still want her afterwards. God, please let him still want her after this. She’d waited for him for so long, she wasn’t ready to lose him yet. “You didn’t do anything wrong,” Penelope reassured him, briefly cupping his cheek with her hand. “There’s something I need to tell you.”

List of “unrequited love but turns out!! it’s actually requited” prompts

“What, did you think I kissed you all these times because I was doing it for the shits and giggles?” “…Let’s be real, you did have a lot of fun shoving your tongue down my throat in public.”

“Oh my God, why are you crying? Does me liking you disgust you that much?” “No, you dumbass, it’s because you like me back but I spent all of this time thinking you’d never like me that way!”

“Look, we can pretend I never confessed if it means you’ll stay—” “What?! No! You can’t just take back your confession! That’s such a coward move and I’ll not allow that! Especially when I feel the same way towards you.” 

“I’ll get over you. I promise. These feelings, they’re— they’re only temporary, I swear. I—I’ll get over you. Just please don’t leave me—” “Did you ever think, that maybe, I don’t want you getting over me? What if I don’t want these feelings to be only temporary? That maybe I… Like you, too?”

“I didn’t mean to fall for you.” “And neither did I.” “…Fucking pardon?” 

“So according to _____, you’re in love with me, too?” “Oh, that fucking bast— wait, did you just say too?” 

“You need to stop kissing me like you mean it; I’m going to read into things wrong and end up breaking my own heart.” “That’s because I do mean it every single time. You’ve just been too dense to realise.” 

“Why are you apologising for liking me back?” “Because I don’t want to ruin— wait a second. Pause and rewind, what did you just say?” 

“You don’t have to like me back, you know? I just wanted to let you know how I felt, that’s all.” “Well, too bad! Because these feelings are mutual, and now you can’t get rid of me.”

“Why are you lying to me? You can tell me the truth, it’s okay. I’m strong enough for the truth, I swear.” “What? I’m not lying to you! You’d think you’d pick up on the signs that I’ve been in love with you, for fucking forever, but apparently someone’s too obtuse to realise that!”

🗡️Protective prompts

Can I kill him now?

He deserves to die after what he did to you. And I’ll bring it to him.

He doesn’t even deserve to be breathing the same air you are.

I wanna know as soon as he does anything that makes you uncomfortable.

I’ll deal with him.

I'm not going anywhere.

I want you to go to me any time he does something that freaks you out.

She's my date. Fuck off.

Why was he talking to you?

Did he want something from you?

You won't go anywhere with him.

He touches you again and I won't guarantee you I won't kill him immediately.

He said what to you?!

You go near him ever again and I'll kill him.

Is he just a friend?!

I looked everywhere for you.

I'm yours, you're mine. I don't intend on ever changing that.

You're mine. There's no changing that.

She's mine. Get lost.

You're mine. But I'm yours too. You don't have to worry about me not being loyal. There's only one woman I could ever want in my bed and that's you.

Baby, am I your first?

I hate the thought of other men touching you before me.

Just say a word and I'll kill him.

Was it your first time?

One your word and I'll take you from here.

I love the fact that I was your first.

You'll stay with me. Where you're safe and near me.

You're worried about me sleeping with other women? I don't want anyone else but you. That means I won't sleep with anyone else but you.

I won't hear another word.

He won't hurt you again, I promise.

Whether you like it or not, you're safest with me.

I don't care what you think. I won't let you come back to that motherfucker.

Yeah, I killed him! He used to hit you! What did you expect me to do?! Leave him alone?

I won't let him come near you.

I won't let you saty here. Not when you're so close to him.

[lovelymagnoliarose]

Can't believe we've finally reached the +1 part of the 5+1 fic, it's been such a joy to write, hope you like the final chapter! Hopefully the confession is worth the wait lol

Sneak Peek She’s just finished putting on her earrings when she hears a knock on the door. Penelope grins to herself as she goes to open it, knowing exactly who’s on the other side. “Hey.”  And, just as she assumed, Colin is there sporting a grin that shifts to an expression of awe as he looks at her. Penelope feels her face flush under his gaze. “Pen, you look… I mean you’re just… Wow. ”   Penelope doesn’t even realise she’s giggling until the sound hits her ears, she sounds as breathless as she feels. “Thank you. You look really handsome too.”  Some would argue that Colin is actually too handsome. Especially in a suit like that, it’s unfair to mere mortals like her.  “Thanks,” his grin comes back. He suddenly holds out a bouquet to her that she hadn’t even realised he had. “These are for you.”  “You got me flowers?”  “What kind of man doesn’t get his date flowers?”  Penelope rolls her eyes playfully. He’s really taking this whole date thing so seriously. It was his idea to come as her date, actually. A couple of weeks ago, she had been complaining about her mum over a shared chinese takeaway, about the fact that she just knew , despite the fact that the entire was supposed to be about her accomplishment, Portia would focus on her lack of accomplishment in her love life and harp on her about being at the party alone. Colin suggested going as her date as if it were the most natural thing in the world, an idea she’d instantly dismissed as ridiculous, something that he was greatly offended by. After a bit of back and forth, Penelope had relented and agreed to take Colin as her date to the party, it would get her mum off of her back, and the fact that she would see her with a Bridgerton of all people would probably give her a few brownie points. Besides, Penelope can’t even count how many parties she’d been to over the years where she’d imagined Colin being her date. This night is about one of her biggest dreams coming true, she wants to make a dream come true for young Penelope too.  “Are those… Cherry blossoms?” Penelope notices, taking the flowers from Colin and inhaling the sweet but subtle aroma. “These are my favourites.”  “I know,” he states proudly. She can’t help but let a little bit of surprise seep into her smile. Of course, he notices straight away. “No need to look so shocked, Pen. Obviously I know your favourite flowers.”

Can't believe we're so close to the love confession in 5+1 fic!! Just gotta get through a super awkward dinner between Portia, Pen and the Bridgertons lmao

Sneak Peek And then dessert happens.  It’s carrot cake, not really her favourite, but tolerable enough. She never expected Portia to know her favourite cake in the first place. She takes two slices, same as everyone else, before her mum smiles at her and Penelope knows exactly what’s coming. “Now Penelope, be careful with how much cake you have, it wouldn’t kill you to skip dessert every now and then, my dear. You’d see results from that in no time.”  Penelope grimaces, holding back the scream that’s trying to claw its way out of her throat. It’s her birthday dinner, it’s a cake she barely even likes, but when she tries to eat it out of basic politeness, she’s still doing something wrong. She’s trying to win a battle that she lost years ago, fighting against a current that’s already drowning her. She wants to run away from this awful, awful dinner, go to a place where nobody will be able to find her and scream into the abyss.  Instead, she just pushes her plate away from her. And just when she thinks that’s the end of it- “I’m not sure what results you’re talking about, Mrs Featherington,” Colin says calmly, though Penelope can feel the fury simmering underneath it. “Penelope’s perfect the way she is.” Her breath hitches. Portia’s response comes quick and light as ever, “there’s always room for improvement. Besides, there’s only so much cake to go around.” Another silence, Penelope feels anticipation racing through her veins, anticipating what she’s not entirely sure.  “Here, Pen,” Colin’s voice, sharp as ever, cuts through the air. “You can have my dessert.” 

Read the penultimate chapter now!!

[lovelymagnoliarose]

New chapter of 5+1! And it features one of my personal faves... Protective Colin!

Sneak Peek “I imagine there are quite a few benefits to being the Bridgerton pity project-” “Alright, that’s enough.” Penelope and Cressida both turn to find Colin holding two glasses of lemonade, his lips pulled into a tight frown and a storm brewing in his eyes. “Colin!” Cressida smiles brightly, either acting ignorant to the look on his face, or actually being ignorant to it. She’s never been very good at noticing people unless it’s their flaws. “I was just giving Penelope some advice on how to find a more well suited dress. And I was telling her how nice it is that you and your family have been so kind to her over the years-”  “Oh, come off it, Cressida,” Colin snaps. Cressida’s face drops instantly. Whenever Penelope’s been defended by the Bridgertons in the past, Cressida’s always handled it with a petulant little scowl whilst more or less keeping her cool. Penelope’s not sure she’s ever seen her look so caught out before. She would enjoy it if she wasn’t feeling so overwhelmed. He hands the glass of lemonade, eyes burning with anger and never leaving the blonde before them. “Are you seriously going to pretend I didn’t hear you insult Penelope?” She hesitates, “I wouldn’t say I was insulting her-” “Oh really? Because from where I’m standing that’s exactly what it sounded like,” his face is taut with anger. She’s known Colin for so long, and in all that time she’s seen him get frustrated and annoyed from time to time, but never truly angry. It’s strange to see him displaying the emotion so openly, it’s even stranger knowing that it’s because of her. “And, let me set the record straight. I don’t pity Penelope. Neither does Eloise or the rest of our family. We like her because she’s good. Good and kind, caring and gentle, and that’s just the start of the list. I imagine you don’t know too much about any of those things.” Penelope gasps, she can see the fury growing in his expression with every second, and as much as she appreciates this, the last thing she needs is a big scene. Hastily, she cuts in, “Colin, it’s okay, you don’t have to-”  “Yes, I do.”

Chapter 4 is up now!!
