    Summary

    During a perfectly normal study session, Colin asks what he swears is an innocent question.

    Because it seems like having built-in pillows on one’s chest would make laying on one’s stomach and studying for an upcoming English exam almost comfortable.

    Then Penelope invites him to see for himself exactly how comfortable it is, and Colin’s afternoon takes a decidedly unexpected turn.

    Summary

    “But when am I getting married? And who am I getting married to?” 

     

    “More like who would want to marry you?” Prudence mumbles as Philippa snickers along unkindly. 

     

    Penelope frowns, for a moment she wonders if her mum will tell Prudence to stop, that being mean also isn’t ladylike, but she doesn’t do that, she just ignores it. “Well, you’re a little too young to be getting married right now, that will have to wait until you’re a bit older, but as for who you’re going to marry… I suppose we’ll have to wait and see.”

     

    Two days after the wedding, Penelope knocks a boy off his bike by accident with her yellow hat. He laughs with her about it instead of yelling at like she’d assumed he would, and the moment she hears his laugh she knows that she’s met the love of her life, and the minute she opens the door she tells her mum that she knows exactly who she’s going to marry one day.

     

    She’s going to marry Colin Bridgerton, the flowers said so.

    OR

    At nearly every single wedding she goes to, Penelope catches the bouquet. These are the various times it happens, and a couple of times when it doesn't.

    Summary

    It is why she had started to think about being a third. This is not the first time she’s considered it - having sex with a couple has always been a fantasy for her - but lately it has started to feel almost necessary. To stop her heart from atrophying altogether. Because she still wants to feel love on her skin, wants to be scratched behind the ears by it, but she cannot let it own her, collar her, like it had before. This seems like the perfect solution – exposure therapy, kind of.

    Edwina hates the term unicorn. It makes her feel ashamed of wanting it. Like she’s just another “greedy bisexual”, or as if she’s being taken advantage of by bored straight couples trying to mix things up and she can’t possibly really want this in her heart. As though it is so wrong to want to be shared and loved and needed by people who also love each other.

    And the way Colin and Penelope love each other is… special. Anyone can see that. Edwina thinks it might do her bruised, fragile heart some good to be in its presence, even if deep down she fears a love like theirs will maybe never be hers.

    “Let me fuck you while you fuck him?” Colin murmurs in her ear.

    Summary

    Penelope and Colin Bridgerton find themselves with a freed up afternoon, which they quickly fill in a very predictable way. What no one predicts, however, is that the married couple will be interrupted at the height of their passions by the absolute last person in the world they would want to see them in that moment.

    Summary

    During Penelope's ovulation window, she finds herself a bit worked up at sibling pub night, and can't stop herself from all the dirty thoughts she has about her fiancé. When her resolve finally snaps, she desperately pulls Colin away from the family, and hopes to get the one thing she's craving more than anything in the world.

    --

    Penelope couldn’t have cared less that they were in a hallway. She moaned loudly as his lips left a blistering kiss on her pulse point.

    “So this is what you needed?” he mumbled as he nipped at her earlobe.

    “Colin” she begged, her hands trailing up his back, grabbing at his shoulders. “I need you.”

    “You have me, love.” He pulled back to look at her, one of his hands coming up to cup her cheek.

    “No, I… I need you to fuck me.”

    His eyes went wide. “Pen–”

    “Right now. In the loo when whoever is in there comes out.”

    Colin laughed as he grabbed her face between his hands. “You can’t be serious.”

    Summary

    It had been a while since Penelope discovered Colin Bridgerton had the filthiest mouth in all of London (mostly because it had also been a while since they started sleeping together), so when his dirty talk begins to take a turn towards the romantic, she’s certain it means nothing. Except, well, does he really have to make ‘nothing’ sound so bloody… convincing?

    Summary

    “You earnestly believe you can trick me into loving you in three months? Mr. Bridgerton, this shall be the easiest-won wager any woman has ever known.”

    Colin chuckles. “I believe,” he says, “I can do it in one. The latter two shall be enjoyed as our honeymoon.”

    Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton haven’t properly seen each other in years.

    Now, they find themselves maneuvered into an arranged marriage neither of them wants.

    Penelope, sharp-tongued and self-possessed, has no intention of being anyone’s consolation prize. Colin, newly returned from the continent and having already insulted his bride, did not comprehend quite the little spitfire he'd been given.

    And so, a wager is struck: Three months to earn her regard, or surrender the match.

    Summary

    Pen nibbles nervously on her lower lip for another moment despite his urging. "It… I can't even say it out loud."

    "Say what out loud?" Colin asks exasperatedly. "I think we're past the point of politeness, Pen. Just out with it. Tell me what you're wondering about."

    Her cheeks somehow get even redder then, and suddenly he knows what she's going to say before she says it. He doesn't know how her blushing made the understanding sink in, but it did and he finds himself blushing in advance too. He also finds his eyes dipping surreptitiously to her cleavage before he yanks them back up again.

    "There is… something else that could help."

    Colin's breath catches and he nods slowly. "Uh huh…"

    "You…" Pen trails off as her hands fidget at her sides. "You could maybe… help me."

    Or, another fic with Colin being just the best friend ever and helping Penelope out of a sticky (milky?) situation.

    Summary

    It's maybe not something he should be doing for his friend. It is maybe too much, not normal, but Colin likes how it makes him feel. For two months a year he gets to be a man who has a girl to buy flowers for. Sometimes when the florist says for your girlfriend? he will say yeah, and when they say lucky girl he will say yeah, yeah she is or I'm the lucky one and for a few moments he is another person entirely, a man with a purpose and a life and a warm flat with a pretty girl in it, waiting upside down on the sofa for her peonies with her hair trailing.

    Better than the reality, that he is a thirty-two year old loser with no job (which is why he can afford to be loping around the city all day looking for flowers). No job no girlfriend no point.

    It is the happiest he is all year.
