    Summary

    Summary: Brienne Tarth, Ph.D., is lucky to get even a one-year position at a small college deep in the Riverlands. Unfortunately, the man who represents everything she hates about the devaluation of scholarly expertise is there too. And she has to work with him. She hates everything about this until she doesn’t. Then things get complicated.

    [Note: this is what happens when a gnc survivor of the academic precariat falls embarrassingly into a whole lot of feelings about this ship (and gets enabled into writing by a friend.) This fic was going to be short, and it was going to have plot, and now it’s just roughly 30k of mutual pining. With a little plot on the side. As a garnish. ETA: 40k? ETA: 50k?? ETA: 50ish. Ish.]

    Summary

    He didn’t like to admit it, but the truth was he’d always had a thing for her boobs. It started a couple of years before the Yellow Bra Incident, back when Penelope had just turned thirteen and started growing them. Which, of course, coincided with Colin, at the time fifteen-going-on-sixteen, becoming obsessed with breasts. Not hers in particular, just breasts in general, but… well, Penelope was a little plump. Which meant her budding breasts were a little plump as well. She had developed earlier and faster than his sister, who remained a beanpole for many years yet.

    He was very good at compartmentalising, it turned out.

    Pen was his little sister’s bestie, yes; but Pen’s breasts were an entirely different thing altogether.

    (aka the AU where Penelope becomes an instagram lingerie model and Colin loses his mind.)

    Summary

    “Penelope Anne Featherington,” he says, turning to her with hands on his hips, expression gleeful. “Did you break the bed?”
    She does her best impression of a dog who’s ripped all the down from a pillow. He can’t prove anything.
    “I did,” she says.
    Damn. There’s always been a disconnect between her mouth and her brain.

    or

    Penelope's bed breaks. Of course it's Colin who finds her.

    Summary

    Penelope, now revealed to be the only former Featherington enjoying her marriage to it’s, ahem, fullest, asks herself “Is it my duty to my sisters to tell them how to have more fulfilling sex lives?”

    And then determines that yes. Yes, it is.
