Unexpected Curves by ynnej2198 for m_luthien

Summary
This story came into my head randomly and is based off of the Friends storyline of Monica and Chandler’s unexpected hook-up at Ross’ wedding to Emily and their subsequent secret relationship. What happens when Anthony and Penelope find common ground at Colin’s wedding to Marina and realize that there is more to each other than meets the eye?
This is a modern Bridgerton AU set in the United States where Anthony is a rich billionaire CEO and philanthropist and Penelope is a writer sharing an apartment with Eloise. Anthony has not met Kate (and will not meet her) and Colin is in love with Marina and completely unaware of Pen’s feelings for him.
If you are fans of the original couples and cannot picture them with other people, then DO NOT READ THIS FIC, as it is NOT for you. But, if you have an open mind, then enjoy.

Summary
It was bloody inconvenient to realize you were in love with your friend when you were on another continent, stuck in a work contract for 8 months. It was the ultimate irony, Colin supposed, to have been in each other’s lives since childhood, had easy access to each other, only to start dating when they could barely even facetime. And now, having a romantic reunion to remember was remarkably more challenging surrounded by his family who did not know they were dating. But all he wanted for Christmas was Penelope, and he would do anything he could to make it count.

Summary
This is a story based on the books and the summary for Season 3. For those of you who can't wait for Colin Bridgerton's jealousy and 'simping' for Penelope. Benedict Bridgerton also plays a huge part in this telling. He is tired of watching his brother do nothing about Penelope Featherington. He takes matters into his own hands. Colin falls apart and tries to do the same.
[NEW: I put in an Epilogue for you guys!]

Summary
The Bridgertons have thirty-five days to come up with a plan to save Aubrey Hall, or lose it due to some minor financial mismanagement. There’s a loophole, though. If one of the heirs of the estate marries, their spouse can accept the property in a transfer and avoid forfeiture.
Naturally, Colin volunteers to marry Penelope. Platonically.
No problem, right?

Summary
“So that man?” Colin motioned towards the door where the dark-haired man exited. “Is she married? Is that her husband?”
“Colin,” Anthony said shortly. “That man is Earl Ambrose. Penelope Featherington is not his wife; she is his mistress.”
After her identity as Lady Whistledown is exposed and Jack Featherington flees with the family's money, Penelope is ruined—and sees only one path to security: becoming a gentleman's mistress.
She's finally found something like peace. Then Colin Bridgerton returns to Mayfair after more than a year abroad, and nothing about seeing her again sits easily with him.
