    Summary

    She remembers Cressida Cowper. Tall and unyielding like the twelve inch yew with dragon heart strings wand she’d used to disarm Eloise. She remembers an uncomfortable figure, looking out of place in a muggle cinema, her wand stuck down borrowed jeans that were far too short for her. She remembers a smile and a promise that all felt right around Eloise. A confession that nothing mattered apart from the two of them.

    Quick Creloise harry potter au that is really more of a 15k long character study of Eloise Bridgerton.

    Short but reasonably self contained. Imagine the happy ending.

    Summary

    When Cressida Cowper sees an ad in the newspaper and decides to recklessly quit her job to participate in the Great British Bake Off, all she really wants to get out of this experience is winning star baker. And if that annoying girl from school who's now an even more annoying presenter lets her kiss her now and then, that would be good too.

    Cressida the financial whiz who bakes for fun (and has spreadsheets on baking) is wonderful!

    This is an exceptional concept well executed.

    Summary

    “Would you like to come and play with me?” Eloise blurted out. Immediately she wished she had not, because she was eleven, not a baby, and she could hear Colin snickering and Eloise’s throat started to burn and her eyes turned swimmy and she wished, for once, she would think before she spoke.

    “Oh!” the little girl said, her eyes widening. Then she smiled, her top teeth digging into her lower lip. There was a pleasing little gap between them, Eloise noticed. “I should like that very much. Only — you must tell me if it seems like my bonnet will fly off again. I would not like to hit any more boys on horses.”

    Eloise heard a strange buzzing noise in her ears. She agreed with a smile, and she and Penelope went off to play, leaving Colin still sitting there in the mud of Hyde Park.

     

    OR: Eloise watches Penelope's bonnet knock Colin off his horse, and it takes several long years before she realizes she is in love. Even longer before she realizes Penelope loves her back.

    The sweetest ever Peneloise

    Summary

    “You should try writing to her, even if you are not to send them. I find, when I have so many feelings that I am unsure what to do with them, it helps to release them creatively.”

    “But you draw, and I’m not much of a writer honestly. Well… most of the time anyway.”

    “There are all kinds of writers you know. You believe yourself to not be a writer because there are so many of them already around you, but the world is full of creativity, full of art, full of someone who will always be better at something than you Eloise. Besides, I’m not asking you to publish a book of poetry for a long-lost lover. I’m just saying, try an outlet for once that doesn’t involve smoking on a swing?”

    At that she had laughed but she had gone to bed with Michaela’s advice singing in the back of her mind and then had spent many nights when she couldn’t sleep in Scotland doing exactly as she had suggested.

    And now Eloise stared at the never-to-be recipient of dozens of letters that hide in her desk drawer that resides in her room at Aubrey Hall and she is none-the-wiser and oddly calm and beautiful for someone who has been stuck with sheep for the last year.

    Summary

    “Seeing as though we both have something to gain from being off of the marriage market, why don't we make an agreement?” Mr. Bridgerton’s body had completely turned towards Cressida, knees slightly bumping against her own. “And before you say no, just hear me out–”

    “What exactly do you have to gain from being wed?” Cressida asked before she could stop herself. She tensed when Mr. Bridgerton’s unbandaged hand gripped at her gloved wrist. She could feel her pulse quicken at the touch–

    In which Elliot Bridgerton isn't actually Elliot Bridgerton and somehow that becomes Cressida Cowper's problem.
