Summary
Charlotte Heywood is a young doctor in New York City, exhausted by the realities of interning and residency applications, and quietly unraveling after leaving a relationship that never quite fit. In order to escape a shocking loss, her best friend Gigi treats her to a summer by the sea, where she accidentally begins exchanging letters with a man named Alex Colbourne, the reserved owner of their rented beach house in Sanditon. Over time, their correspondence deepens into something rare—intimate, honest, and transformative—despite the impossibility between them: Alex lives in 2008; Charlotte lives in 2010.
Loosely based on the 2006 movie ‘The Lake House’. Updated weekly.

Summary
Penelope Featherington has spent most of her life quietly fading into the background—curvy, clever, and convinced she’s unremarkable next to the people who shine. But when a chance encounter leads her to a burlesque class, everything begins to change. Confidence doesn’t come easy—but maybe desire, self-worth, and a little glitter might show her the way.
She never expected anyone to notice.
Least of all him.

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.)

The Royal Matchmaking by Phoenix324

Summary
What began as whispers among the ton — rumors of a grand matchmaking ceremony decreed by the Queen — soon became reality. No one could predict who would be bound together under Her Majesty’s watchful eye, and Penelope Featherington dreaded the outcome as much as Colin Bridgerton resented the intrusion.
When the night arrived, Penelope’s worst fears seemed inevitable… until the herald called Colin’s name, followed by hers. Stunned into disbelief, she could scarcely move until Lady Bridgerton urged her forward. Colin, already at her side, gave her hand a reassuring squeeze and stepped boldly before the throne — a silent promise that whatever came of this, she would not face it alone.
From that moment, their bond shifted. Yet in the quiet of his own chamber, Colin’s thoughts betrayed him. He imagined what it would mean to cross that final boundary. To see Penelope not just as his dearest friend, but as his wife in every sense. The thought unsettled him, even as it stirred a desire he could no longer ignore.

Dreamscape: A Workforce AU by sara_sedai for CaptKJaneway (my beta reader in 2011)
Fandoms: Star Trek: Voyager
04 Dec 2018
Tags
Summary
This is a J/C love story. The full story is now posted. If you like reading about Kathryn and Chakotay hooking up, you'll probably enjoy this :)
This story is a re-write of WorkForce (s7e16). The key differences are that Chakotay was captured along with the rest of the crew, so he’s on Quarra with no memories of Voyager, and Tom was never captured and he’s working his ass off (along with Harry, Neelix, and the Doctor) trying to save the crew.
Rated explicit for sex and swearing.All characters in this story are the property of Paramount, as is the general Workforce plot.

Summary
Charlotte Heywood is unlucky in love, the man she thought she loved is engaged to someone else. She impulsively embarks on a Christmas holiday to Sanditon, where she meets a widower with two girls in his care... an homage to the Sanditon series and the movie "The Holiday."
Warning to Sidlotte fans: Sidney is Season 1 Sidney mixed with Jasper from the holiday, which means he breaks Charlotte's heart, and this is a Heybourne story, *not* a Sidlotte one.
Currently rated G but may get more Teen+ if it feels right. More characters may join.

Summary
Its 1943 and Heyrick Park has been requisitioned. Those stationed there are doing their duty to keep the people of Sanditon and the surrounding area supplied with what they need to 'keep calm and carry on', whilst supporting the US Navy base just up the coast. Yet there is more to this than managing supplies to the war effort - can Colbourne and his team use their signals intelligence skills to thwart the enemy? And what if that enemy is closer to home than anyone thinks? Can love find a way amidst the fears and strains of wartime England?
A 1940's WW2 Variation, which takes our characters on a different, but also familiar, journey of self-discovery and romance.

Lois receives an invitation to her college reunion. When she doesn't want to attend the event stag, it's Clark to the rescue. Set just after Chi of Steel. This story is an absolute shameless, frothy concoction of tropes and I'm not apologizing for any of it.
