    Summary

    “Mr Bridgerton? Colin?”

    He almost did not recognise her. She looked very different — pretty red curls bobbed fashionably; cheeks and lips stained with a little rouge; a day dress in a lovely mauve colour that made her eyes seem bluer, somehow — but it was her scent that threw him off. Now that he thought about it, he could not quite recall what Penelope Featherington actually smelled like (he had not seen her in years, after all). She was so often at Bridgerton House that all he could summon was the same lilac smell that his mother and his siblings bore, but of course there must be other notes he was forgetting.

    Still, he was fairly certain she had never smelled like this: vetiver and geranium, sharp and green and floral.

    Not a bad smell by any means — just not Penelope’s. Even though he could not recall her scent, he knew certainly this was not it. She must be wearing perfume. It befuddled him so much that he realised he had been staring at her silently for a lot longer than was polite, especially for an old family friend he had not seen in ages.

    Summary

    Anthony glanced at his brother, who had been uncharacteristically stationed along the wall of the ballroom for the entire night. Well, it would have been uncharacteristic if he hadn’t done the same for the last two balls. Not dancing, not talking to anyone – Colin’s eyes were fixed unerringly on one target as she moved around the room.

    His concentration was intense enough that he didn’t seem to notice – or perhaps didn’t care – as Anthony sidled up to him until the Viscount cleared his throat. “Colin,” he began.

    “Yes. What is it, Anthony?”

    “You’re not – courting, are you? Miss Featherington?” He’d already been surprised by his brother’s romantic and impulsive nature once. He’d prefer to at least have a little warning if it was about to strike again.

    Summary


    She’s gesturing excitedly to the shorter girl, telling her about meeting Dylan at some hotel with a fountain that her mom dumped shampoo in, apparently. Sounds like a Linda shenanigan - one he’d appreciate more if he wasn’t listening to the girl he’s stupidly in love with talking about some dude sleeping in her room all weekend.


    Zeke misunderstands something and gets a little....crazy jealous.

    Summary

    The look he gave her made her knees feel weak and for a moment Tina thought he might kiss her again, then he just stepped back towards the doors of the gym. “I’ll see ya later, T-Bird.”

    “See you,” she parroted back, watching him pull the door open and step inside before turning and heading for the entrance of the school. Every part of her ached and screamed at her to go after him, to tell him exactly how she felt and that she was tired of keeping this thing between them a secret from everyone else.

    Whatever it was.
    .
    .
    .
    or: Zeke and Tina have been sneaking around behind everyone's backs for a month, but when he doesn't ask her out on Valentine's Day she goes to a singles party with Jimmy Jr. and shenanigans ensue. Title from She's Mine by Kip Moore.

    Summary

    "I didn't like you when you started liking me, but I'm different when I actually like someone back. You probably won't like me as much after we start dating."

    Tina could feel Zeke's stare burning into her face but still couldn't bring herself to meet his eyes, so she couldn't quite tell what expression he was wearing. When he spoke however she could probably guess.

    "So what I'm hearing is you're afraid I'll somehow like you less after my 4 years of unrequited feelings are finally reciprocated?"

    Exasperated. He was definitely exasperated. Might've had a hint of fondness laced into it, but for the most part exasperated was definitely the emotion she was getting right now.

    Tina bit the inside of her cheek, he made it sound so silly when he phrased it like that.

    ---------------------------------------

    Tina finds out Zeke is serious about her and tries to figure out what she wants that to mean for them.

    Summary

    They reached Jimmy's place and Zeke looked over, like he always did, towards the Belcher residence and saw Tina. She looked a little overwhelmed at the register and was too busy to even glance in their direction. It seemed like business has improved over the years, which was good! But the poor girl looked so tired.

    Zeke kept his eyes on the window, on her, when the words escaped him before he even realized it.

    "Listen J-Ju, I like hangin' out with you, but you're also pretty fucking stupid when it comes to other people's feelings."

    Summary

    "Finally, he made it to where he had planned, concrete turning to dirt, then turning to sand as he descended down to the beach, where one girl stood alone, staring out at the sea. She swung her hands somewhat awkwardly at her sides, clearly anxious. Zeke couldn’t blame her in the slightest. Not when her anxieties were true.

    At some point in his approach, it became clear she heard him as she perked up, turning so fast her hair smacked her in the cheek. It hurt more than Zeke cared to admit to see that look of excitement and hope curl up and die, being replaced by a quiet disappointment.

    He didn’t take it personally. He understood."

    ---

    When Jimmy Junior doesn't treat her with the appreciation he should, Zeke steps in to make sure Tina gets that love she deserves.

    Summary

    Following the Netherfield Ball, Mr Collins happily gossips in a letter to Lady Catherine that her that her nephew may be on the verge of matrimony… to Miss Bingley. He overheard his cousins talking of the lady’s attentions and quite misconstrued everything. Lady Catherine, as incensed as she could ever be, goes to confront her nephew in London… and arrives in the middle of the ‘Why You Should Not Marry Jane Bennet’ intervention.

    Yelling ensues. And maybe more than one instance of self-reflection.

    OR

    In which Mr Collins has the sacred duty of sharing gossip he wasn’t supposed to know; Lady Catherine is of infinite use, which ought to make her happy, for she loves to be of use; Miss Bingley learns what all her attempts to secure Mr Darcy’s affections have amounted to; and Mr Darcy himself is full of pride and confronted with his hypocrisy.

    Summary

    Elizabeth, or Betty as she likes to be called, is much like you would picture her. Educated and intelligent, but also stubborn and prone to losing her temper. She has one unusual gift, however: with a touch, Betty can hear other's thoughts. Will this ability give her a better understanding of the arrogant Will Darcy, or is she doomed to repeat the events of P&P?

    A modern retelling, with a twist.
