Goodnight, Mr Bridgerton
As Colin Bridgerton is falling for Penelope Featherington, Benedict is also falling for a London season debutante.

But by the second ball of the season it seems she cannot move on from him so easily. Set parallel to the events of season three. Basically Benedict being a hopeless romantic for 15k words. *also posted on ao3*Complete
