Not My Brother

Story by: Storyhadmelike

For fans that are tired of waiting for Season 3. This fic should hold you over with multiple twists and turns.

Chapter 1: Chapter One

Upon arrival at his mother’s house, Colin Bridgerton did not know what to expect. Of course, he was wanting a healthy hello from each of his siblings but now with his mother living at number 5, and what seemed like half his siblings married off, his hello seemed diminished. A quick hug from each sibling as they dashed around getting ready for the ball at Lady Danbury's tonight.

“You should really come Colin,” his mother invited him with a sweet caress of her son’s cheek. “Everyone will be so happy you are home early from Greece.”

“Cyprus, Mother. And I’m not sure if I’m up for it,” Colin answered with a sudden urge to head right back out the door.

“Afraid of the matchmaking mamas?” Benedict joked slapping a hand onto Colin’s back.

“Now Benedict!” Violet Bridgerton scolded in a motherly tone.

Benedict smiled and placed a small kiss on his mother’s cheek. “He’s home now and he should be looking for a wife right?”

Violet nodded. “Yes, Colin you can come and see all the women who are available this year.” She turned around to gather her embroidery that was sitting on her chair.

Colin punched Benedict in the arm rather hard.

“Ow,” he over-exaggerated mouthing the word.

“Off you are to get ready,” Violet said turning to face her boys as they both quickly gave her their biggest smiles and nodded.

Colin followed Benedict out to the hallway. “Thanks a lot for that brother,” he mumbled sarcastically.

“I haven’t heard the end of it and now that you're home I need you to take some of the heat.” Benedict smiled at his brother.

“Oh, why didn’t you just say so?” Colin smiled a charming heartwarming smile at him. “How about this? I’ll marry the first woman I see upon entering the ball tonight. Then it’s right back to you.” Colin then gave him a pat on the back before smiling all the way to the room he had on reserve at his mother's.

Colin was determined this season to move out and into bachelor's lodgings but it’s hard to do so when always traveling. He would go out next week and look at the flats available. He rolled his eyes. If he had just written to his brother Anthony and requested lodgings before his return he might not have even needed to come by here. His family would have been more grateful to see him when he stopped by later in the season.

As he strode into his room and gathered the items to wear for the ball tonight he thought his arrival must be mundane by now. Before his family would scream for him and give big hugs and hang on to every word from his travels. But this time it was almost like they were relieved to have something else to do when he came through the door. A couple of quick hugs and comments about his new tan and facial hair then, right to their bedrooms.

Once he was dressed Colin sat on his bed and leaned against the headboard. He was so tired he thought suddenly noticing his happiness to be sitting down. Then to his surprise, he actually fell asleep.

Penelope Featherington found herself being pulled into the most wonderful lavender gown. Now that she was almost spinster age her mother had let her start to get her own frocks from the modiste. She smiled looking in the mirror when she didn’t look like an unripe citrus fruit. Her lavender gown made her skin look creamy. She wore her hair in looser curls that almost hung to her bodest. And her breast no longer felt squished down but plump and form-fitting.

This ball was hers. Eloise would not be by her side. She made that abundantly clear during the first couple of balls of the season. She was on her own and determined to find a husband. She would continue as Lady Whistledown and let that part of her life consume her. But first, she had to find a man that would allow her that freedom.

A nice busy man of the ton. She didn’t have to love him and she certainly didn’t care if he loved her. But someone nice she can have children with and who is gone a lot of the time.

Last ball she had actually had some men come and ask her for a dance. This was new. She usually stood along the outline of the dance floor listening in on people’s conversations. Then usually a Bridgerton man would be pushed by Violet Bridgerton to dance with her. She smiled at a dance she remembered with Colin. She then shook her head.

“No,” she said audibly to herself.

“You don’t want any tea, my lady?” Her maid, Sarah asked confused as she bustled in through her bedroom door with a small serving tray.

“No sorry I would love some. I have some time before mother and sister will be ready to go,” Penelope walked over to the tray and took the cup prepared. “Thank you so much.”

Her maid smiled warmly and then turned out of the room.

Penelope sat in her writer's chair by the window and sipped her tea. She looked to the roads as she watched the Bridgerton carriage roll past presumably on the way to the ball. She could just barely make out who was on the inside. She smiled. No Colin.

She had gotten wind of the news he would be returning that week and she was dreading it. The thought of seeing him made her heart drop. She was over this little crush she told herself. But she still came to terms with the fact that it would be hard seeing him again. She hoped he would cling to Eloise’s silent treatment towards her and leave her be.

“I would never dream of courting Penelope Featherington. Not in your wildest dreams Fife.” His words soaked the air making it thick. She pressed on hand firmly to her stomach straightening her spine. She didn’t need Colin Bridgerton in her life. She would find a man and be happy.

“Penelope we are about to depart,” her mother hollered up the stairs in an almost screeching manner.

“Coming!” She called placing down her cup of tea.

Wedding styles for the The Holy Trinity of Ships

So I got inspired by this post by @ginawylie about weddings for the couples of HSMTMTS.

I am also a bit of an inspiring fashion designer and have actually done designs for Luna, Ambar and Nina's dresses

Luna / Lutteo

Ignore the black dots in the first dress. They are the best way I found to draw glitter

Luna is a special case since there is no way she'd stay put in white. That is why I designed her two dresses. I headcanon Lutteo getting married in the summer and particularly in 2025 so approximately six years after S3. It would definitely be an outdoor wedding outside of the Benson Mansion and quite a lively affair. We don't need to talk about the maid of honor or the best man, we all know who they are. Gastina will have to endure the job of working as referees in the chaos that will be the wedding planning with Lutteo. The colors would be a mixture of purple and silver with a hint of gold and maybe green

The first one is for the ceremony. It has a wide V-neck with sheer puffy sleeves and a classic ballgown siluet. The silvery details are an homage to the moon side of her. The dress has details with clear crystals and holo clitter so we won't be totally colorless. I would style it with a silvery embroidered veil and amethyst jewelry to give a pop of color. The bouquet features purple flowers in addition to Lilys. The bouquet is quite similar to the one Matteo brought to Luna when he came to meet her parents in S2

The second dress is for the reception since Luna won't stay put in white no matter how much Holo there really is. The dress is quite youthful since they do get married quite young. I took inspiration from the manicure that Luna has on the show with yellow and a purple accent nail. The dress is white and it has purple crystals embroidered on the hem and the bodest. It has one strap and the sweetheart neckline is lined with a gold ribbon. As the other dress was inspired by the moon, this is by the sun. The other strap is replaced with two loose ribbons which will be wrapped around the arm. I styled this with some green jewelry to compliment Luna's green eyes featuring green earrings and hairpins with a half up half down look and green sandals.

Ambar / Simbar

In the vast world of my headcanons, Simbar are the first one to get married. They have a late spring wedding in 2024 so five years after S3. I might be stealing this from some fanfic I have read, but I see them having a fancy and elegant but still a beach wedding in Cancun with the sunset everything. The hardest thing to think about for their wedding would be the maid of honor and the best man, but I think Luna would get the honor with Defi and Jazmin being the bride's maids and the best man could be maybe Pedro or Nico could join him. The colors of the wedding would definitely be gold and pearls and pearlescent with some additional bronze. I was about to add rose gold, but Ambar doesn't like it.

I see Ambar going for the mermaid siluet. A bit more sexy style seems like her. It is also not fully white with a lot of gold detailing and pearls. The dress has a deep V with pearls and a golden slip and crisscrossing gold spaghetti straps. The skirt has pearls where the fishtail starts and it is tulle with a golden gradient in the hem. I styled it with gold bangles, pearl earrings, and a headband that would connect to the veil. The bouquet would be white roses since those have special meaning for Simbar with some gold and bronze leaves.

Nina / Gastina

This sketch sucks, but I didn't find a better way to draw lace. And it won't be grey, you just can't draw white over white

Since both Lutteo and Simbar have their weddings in the spring and summer, I imagine that Gastina gets married in the winter following their move back to Buenos Aires from Oxford. I might have a bit of an unhealthy obsession with the red rose motif with Gastina. I just love the fact that they are a couple of the Red Rose, the rose of the most passionate love. I have a post about all the couples and their rose colors. So the red and the red rose will be a prominent theme in the wedding instead of more stereotypical blue and colder colors for a winter wedding. It would be a cozy intimate wedding with red, silver, ivory being the prominent colors with an addition of some dark wood. Lutteo would definitely be the maid of honor and the best man.

For the dress, I combined the styles of the Duchess of Cambridge and Princess Eugenie's wedding dresses. the dress has an A-line siluet and off-the-shoulder neckline with lace sleeves and lace that comes up to the shoulders. There is some lacing below the hips and lace ribbons that cross at the waist. Styling will follow the wedding colors, with ruby earrings and a pendant. I decided to not have a veil, and instead have hair styled to an updo with red roses. The bouquet would be a mixture o red and white roses, so the red will not overpower everything.

The bodest of avocatos

[michaeladesignresearch505]

Between the years 1955 and 1960 the history of Hollywood fashion was huge and many different events accord around this time period. Dresses were a big thing of this era cinching in at the bodest and then flowing out at the waist and further down as well as bright popping colours and different uses of fabrics and textures throughout each design. Around this era cameras were more and furtherly being introduced into everyday Hollywood Life and especially in Hollywood film and media. because of this, this meant that new designs we're constantly being created for new films and movies that were coming out in order to keep the fashion trends growing. Marilyn Monroe was a huge  influential person in this time era and played a huge part when it came to design, film and media. Historically in 1955 one of the major events that happened was, the Montgomery bus boycott involving Rosa parks. This was a huge historical event as this incident involved the laws of how black women were be forced to sit at the back of the bus, would not be hired to be bus drivers and would have to give up this seats for white people. By having this incident happened in this era this showed that how Marilyn Monroe a blonde blue-eyed white young woman was seen as the peak of Beauty which was seen as the American Dream which isn't true and age and was completely wrong. But by this happening it shows around this time area why Marilyn Monroe was so influential as almost every woman wanted to be like her.

Thursday  Mid Season review 19/10/17

What was you asked to do:  we was asked to create multiple designs on a modest that related to our topic of “Fragile Earth”, we we’re told that it would need to be work that was created from our sketchbooks or work that was created in lessons that could be scanned from your book into photoshop to then be used on the bodest template.

What have you done this lesson: The work that has been produced through the lesson have been manipulative images of flowers and creatures put together to create patterns that represent a immersive look that show off the animal and flowers in a powerful way.

What needs to be completed: The work that needs to be completed is getting at least 5 designs that reach my standards of work and are up to the highest standards.

Last Thursday I started making my rough idea of what my outcome could potentially look like. It isn't yet finished but the body of my collar Is. I use Liam to model it and fitted it to his body but I a little looser. then for the darts at the front I briefly used Rimini to wear it to see where my darts fall. The photo above doesn't do it great justice but in person it looks better. I made my own neck choker to connect to the back of my collar piece.

I used left over calico from my shift dress and worked with what I had to sew together a simple bodest. it took about 2 hours all together because I wanted to play around with my designs in my sketchbook and show clearly the link between this and my final illustration
