Summary
Simon Basset returned to London to find a ghost. Instead, he found Penelope Featherington.
Officially, he is helping Queen Charlotte and Lady Danbury uncover the identity of Lady Whistledown. Unofficially, he already knows the truth. They suspect Eloise Bridgerton. He believes her too loud and reckless. Her quiet friend, however, sharp, cunning, and always watching, has been hiding in plain sight.
Penelope barely remembers Simon exists. But to him, she has become the center of his investigation, his frustration, and his fascination. And when he witnesses Colin Bridgerton cruelly mock her in front of half the ton, something in Simon breaks.
She may be the bane of his existence. But he will not let her be anyone’s joke.
A story of secrets, scandal, and the unexpected places from which power, and love, can rise.

Summary
Simon Basset had simply intended to escape marriage. Not to ruin Daphne Bridgerton or drag Penelope Featherington into scandal before the Queen herself.
It had been meant to be a lie. A simple way out.
Instead, he had wrought havoc, humiliation and shattered reputations.Now Penelope stands at the center of London’s latest gossip, Simon bears the fury of polite society, and Daphne watches her season collapse around her.
But Penelope Featherington is no one’s pawn.
The ton demands entertainment. The Queen demands a wedding.
And Penelope? Penelope has become a storm unleashed—a reckoning Simon is not ready to face. -
Four Men and a Pen by AFlowerInTheSun for shavannibe

Summary
After a breakup that leaves her flatless but not defeated, Penelope moves into a new place with four men—Anthony, Benedict, Simon, and John—who were just looking for a flatmate… and somehow end up finding something more.
She charms them without trying, her laugh filling the kitchen, her quiet steadiness settling into the corners of their lives like sunlight. From the moment she walks through the door, it feels like she’s always belonged. Her mug finds a permanent place on the shelf. Her presence makes space feel softer. She’s clever, kind, quietly brave—and without meaning to, she begins stitching herself into their lives in a hundred gentle, unexpected ways.
This is a story about mismatched furniture and shared breakfasts. About inside jokes, late-night confessions, and the delicate, hopeful work of starting over. It’s about the strange, lovely alchemy of chosen family, the way we heal in good company—and how one unexpected housemate turns five separate lives into something beautifully tangled, and whole.
Found family. Slow-burn romance. Shared kitchens. Shared lives. And a love story that begins with boxes on the curb and ends with everyone a little more whole.

Yours By Accident: A Vow in Fog and Fire by AFlowerInTheSun
Fandoms: Bridgerton (TV), Bridgerton Series - Julia Quinn

Summary
Penelope wakes in an unfamiliar bed, the taste of last night like smoke on her tongue, and a ring on her finger she does not remember putting there.
Benedict is already awake. Silent. Wrecked. And he is staring at her like he has broken something he can never fix.
The chapel vows are real. The marriage is real. The memories are hazy.
He has loved her for over a year, quietly, stupidly, completely. But it never mattered. Because her heart was never his to claim. And now, by some foolish twist of fate and brandy, she is his wife.
And she does not remember choosing him.
Penelope's heart still aches for Colin. Benedict knows this. And still, he cannot bring himself to regret loving her, only the way it happened. The way he might have ruined everything.
They must decide what comes next: a future neither planned, a love she is not sure she can return, and a marriage forged in candlelight but shadowed by everything unsaid.
Because vows spoken in the dark still echo in daylight.

The Rules of Ruin: Scandal Seasons by AFlowerInTheSun
Fandom: Bridgerton (TV), Bridgerton Series - Julia Quinn
02 Jun 2025
Summary
The Rules of Ruin: Scandal Seasons is a series of interwoven tales set against the glittering, treacherous backdrop of the ton, where every choice has consequence, every whispered secret carries weight, and every season risks the promise of ruin.
At the heart of it all are Benedict Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington. When the quiet observer of London’s scandals entangles herself with a family destined to cause them, passion and consequence become impossible to separate.
In a world where no one attracts notice quite like a Bridgerton, the promise of scandal orbits around them like moths to the sun.
Told through reimagined canon, alternative pairings, and slow-burning romances, these stories follow Benedict and Penelope, and those in their orbit, as they navigate secret affairs, forbidden desires, political entanglements, and long-buried truths. Each installment explores the delicate art of scandal and the people brave enough to shape it.
Because in a world where reputation is everything, love is the most dangerous game of all.

Summary
Roronoa Zoro knows he’s loyal to a fault. And maybe that loyalty is only for his Captain and Crew. But realizing his loyalty for Luffy is also something more, something more personal and emotional, was not what Zoro wanted. And he definitely didn’t want the voices in his head to get so loud.
But hey, we never get what we want, do we?In which Zoro figures out he’s in love with his captain and is in great denial, all while struggling through emotional repression and a bunch of shit he doesn’t deserve. Go figures.
This work is completed!!

Summary
"It's true then?" the first mate asks. "They say Devil Fruit users haven't got daemons - that you give them up for power."
Luffy tilts his head, sun-guard brim of his hat slipping over his eyes, and continues to smile. "Weird."

Summary
“Zoro—”
“Did you know?” he repeats, desperate, and Luffy just looks at him. And he wonders, then, how much of this has been preordained—how much of this is real, how much of this is him. How much of what he’s felt since they were wedged side-to-side in a shitty wooden boat on the East Blue has actually mattered, and how much has been the universe pressing him down into the mold of someone else's heart.
And then Luffy is gripping his horns, bringing his forehead down to meet his, repeating, “Zoro? Zoro?” like his name is a mantra, like he’s gone somewhere far away and gotten lost on his way back.
And Zoro blinks at him, then, and sees both of them at once—both of them—and he grips Luffy’s face in his own hands (claws) and presses his lips (violent, full of teeth) against his. Because this is who he has been waiting a thousand years for, the brightest and most beautiful of them all, the one thing he could never have—could never see, not if (Luffy, Joyboy, Nika) had made different (worse) choices—the thing that could never thrive in the darkness, just like he could never (has been unable to for centuries) survive without it—

Summary
Most days, it's business as usual. Wake up, train, chase Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper around for disturbing him (because those smiles amid laughs make the whole day better), argue with the cook, occasionally explore an island, pretend not to see Robin and Franky flirting, go to bed. Then do it all once again. Most days he's good. Smiles and laughs. Grumbles and snark. Most days, Zoro feels fine.
But some days, some days he wonders if they really like him.
Or
Zoro has some doubts and some pretty great nakama.
