the age of seven (the story of the pirate and the siren) by gingerwannabe

Summary
By the age of six, Colin had been acquainted with a girl his age, Penelope Featherington. She was shorter than him, much shorter (but to be fair, Colin was also much taller for his age) and she often wore yellow dresses with matching bows in her hair.
By the age of seven, Colin and Penelope had become the very best of friends, playing almost every day in the nearby park. Their favourite game (of which they were also proud inventors) was called ‘The Pirate and the Siren’. Colin played the courageous pirate (standing on the swing, pretending it was the deck of a ship on waves) and Penelope was the siren (sitting on the bench, pretending to be stuck on an island, needing to be saved from a monster). Pirate Colin would then go through a number of obstacles until finally reaching Siren Penelope and taking her on his adventures with him.

Lesson on (self) love by gingerwannabe

Summary
“What about the mirror?” Penelope asked as she turned to look at their reflection in the mirror which was situated in the darkest corner of the room. Although the corner itself was dark, the picture in the mirror was clear as ever; the lit candles throughout the room provided warm light which illuminated the space – as well as gave it an intimate atmosphere.
“I want you to look at yourself in the mirror, and see what the rest of us are seeing,” Colin said behind her. '
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Colin comes bursting into Penelope's room late at night angry about the things she'd written about herself. He tries to help her gain self-confidence but instead reveals some new information about himself.
------------------------------------
Inspired by the promo clip of Penelope and Colin in front of the mirror.

Summary
Colin didn't know whether he was fucked off, or just utterly fucked in general.
There Penelope stood, twinkling in her soft pink lengha, next to Marcus fucking Anderson, his hand around her waist.
"If you break that glass, Anthony's gonna be pissed," Benedict said, amusement lacing his tone.
It's Edwina Sharma's summer wedding to Fredrick Christoph, a big British Indian affair. Wedding's involving the Bridgertons were never normal, and that's not about to start now.
