Summary
Modern AU
Colin Bridgerton is a travel influencer, who is in love with his best friend. He knows that she would never see him as a series prospect though. She's smart and ambitious and she dates research scientists. He is also harboring another secret that isn't too keen on anyone finding out.
Penelope has always wanted to be a published writer, but the modern landscape favors Social Media influencers. So she turned to her best friend, Social Media Influencer, Colin Bridgerton. If they start to fake date it'll give her the cred she needs to get a real book deal. It shouldn't matter that she's been in love with him since she was 16. She's never acted on her feelings before and this won't change anything. Right?
This completely chaotic fic is a challenge to myself to see how many 100 prompt sentences I can fit into one fic.

Summary
This is the sequel to The Chaotic Lives of Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton
You probably could read this without that one, but that one includes how they got together, so you shouldn't but I'm not the boss of you.
Sneek Peek:
The doorbell rang. He rolled his eyes at his siblings and stood up. “I hate you all.”
“Col?” Penelope called from the kitchen. “Can you get that? I’m bringing out more snacks!”
“I got it!” He got up and threw a pillow at Eloise’s head.
“Why?!”
“Because I know you’re going to say something when I walk away.”
“Yeah, but it would have been loud enough for you to hear it.”
Everyone laughed.
Colin shook his head and walked to the door. He opened it and was confused. Before him was a young blonde woman who looked about Hyacinth’s age and also looked remarkably like his fiancée. He tilted his head. “May I help you?”“Hi, my name is Felicity. I’m looking for Penelope?” The young woman took a deep breath. “I think I’m her sister.”

Summary
Part of the Chaotic Universe Series. Strongly recommended to start this fic after Chapter 31 of The Fate ot the Bridgertons.
The Polin of it all:
After the events of Chaotic and Bridgerton, and A Chaotic Christmas, Penelope thinks it's a great time for her and Colin to have a relaxing 14-day holiday for just them. She invites Lucy and Greg along in hopes that they will all grow closer, especially after (as she and Colin believe) causing a rift in the family unit that has isolated Greg and Lucy from the family structure. She hopes it will also give her and Colin some time to maintain their loving relationship.
The Grucy of it all:
After a rough entry into the family in Chaotic Three, Lucy never quite felt good enough for the Bridgerton Family. Greg stopped talking to his two oldest brothers, and she couldn't help but feel judged by Greg's sisters and sisters-in-law at every turn. Now that Polin has returned to the family fold, things are getting better. Lucy is excited to get to know Greg's favourite brother and sister-in-law better, and she hopes that this trip will strengthen her marriage as well, if only Greg could stop working so much.
