    Summary

    Colin Bridgerton was a rising British tennis star, who disappointed in his professional debut and struggled to find his footing amongst the ATP Tour for years.

    His dreams of winning Wimbledon seemed further and further away when a knee injury sidelined him during his eighth season. The only bright side was re-connecting with his sister's best friend he hadn't seen in years, who reminded him to focus on what inspired him to play from the beginning.

    Penelope tried to keep her distance from Colin, remaining as guarded as possible, but relented when circumstances kept bringing them together, preparing herself for the inevitable heartbreak that would consume her when he re-joined the tour and moved on with his life.

    ---

    “What if I can’t?” Colin asked, voicing his actual biggest fear out loud. The dark cloud looming overhead. “What if I try and give it everything I’ve got and I can’t get it back?” Shame trickled throughout his body.

    Penelope paused again, not rushing her response. She spoke quietly, cradling his insecurities with her soft spoken understanding. “Then at least you’ll know for sure. And you won’t look back with regrets.”

    Summary

    “I’m sorry, a cabin?” Daphne laughed, but it was void of amusement and full of unmasked disgust. She was the least likely to utter that word and her facial expression moved as if it sickened her to do so.
    “Did you say all summer? Or did I mishear,” Benedict scratched his head nervously, a giggle bubbling out of his chest at the news his family just received.
    The Bridgertons had been gathered in their family room by their mother to be instructed one thing: they would spend the entire summer at their lake home starting next week.

    -
    OR a Bridgerton family version of Cheaper by the Dozen 2. A collection of intertwined moments throughout their three-month summer vacation!

    *every chapter has the unsaid prefix of "The Summer..." (interchangeable with of, we, with, where, when, etc)!

    A "what if" story about Phillip and Eloise meeting prior to Marina's death, taking place where season three left off on. There are elements of To Sir Phillip, With Love mixed with TV show Phillip and Eloise. There is no physical cheating just pinning.

    Summary

    “I want a chance to earn my friend back.” He took a cautious step into the room. “I am whole-heartedly sorry for what I said! It was stupid and careless, and I wish I could undo it. Please let me make it up to you, to get us back to the confidence we shared before that thoughtless mistake?”

    Her eyes hardened. “There is no going back, Colin.” She folded her arms across her chest. “I never asked you to court me-”

    “I know, I-”

    “I have not finished!”

    Colin gaped at her. Pen could be sharp in her witticisms, and he now knew she could be vindictive and cold when wounded. But he’d never seen her speak with such self-possession before. He bowed his head apologetically and gestured for her to continue.

    Or...

    An alternative S3 based on the synopsis. Aimed to have it completed before S3 was released but took too long. It was fully plotted but only half-written when the show was released, so occasional influence from the show has crept in but I try to minimise this. Probably now a bit of 'fix fic' (sort of) for those who wanted it to take longer to rebuild their relationship, more Colin perspective, a different placing of the Whistledown reveal, and some Colin and Pen against the world! :-)

    Summary

    (Tags are going to be updated as I finish up the final two chapters of this fic!)

    You are a debutante hiding a deep adoration for music. Unfortunately, this role you were born into does not allow for you to follow your dreams of performing on your violin and composing music. Thus, you created a masculine identity with the help of Henry Granville. With him acting as your sponsor, you join a quartet and begin your long journey towards your goals. Unfortunately, a certain Bridgerton has struck up a friendship with both your identities. It does not help that you seem to like him too.

    (AFAB reader but they are not a woman, and spend this story figuring that out! I have also attempted to make this insert as POC friendly as possible but I am not a person of colour and may not be aware of any mistakes. Please let me know how I can improve!)

    Summary

    The first thing that hit Penelope was the smell of a busy printer. Hot, warm ink filtered through the room, the machine running a constant whirring in the corner of the office. Papers were scattered haphazardly across the desk, littered with notes and highlights and sticky tabs that clung to the sides, translucent in the sun’s casting light across them.
    When Penelope saw Colin Bridgerton for the first time in nearly 2 years, the breath was swept from her body all at once.

    or

    Penelope is driven and ambitious for a fresh start in a new Editorial position she's recently accepted. Her perfectly curated plans seem to fall apart when she realizes Colin Bridgerton- her childhood love and the one person she has vowed to pay no mind- is her new boss. Penelope has sworn herself to strict professionalism, but like always, Colin seems intent on breaking her resolve.

    Summary

    After spending a year abroad, Colin Bridgerton returned during summer break and joined his family at Aubrey Hall. Whilst away, Colin realized his heart belonged to his best friend, Penelope Featherington through the many letters they exchanged during his travels. His grand plans to romance her and win her affections was going better than he could have ever imagined; that was until a summer soiree hosted by his brother brought an unwelcomed guest who threatened his family and any future happiness he had hoped for.

     

    “What has happened?” Anthony pressed.

    “I did what I had to,” it was all Colin could think to say. Anthony took Colin’s hands in his, turning them over noting the wounds spackled across his knuckles and smatters of blood that covered his skin and clothes.

    “Who?” His eyes were wide and intense. It was his protective nature; Colin knew his brother would do anything for his family. He could see Anthony was already anticipating his response without even knowing the occurrence.

    “Lord Anderson,” Colin breathed out, rage returning to his voice, “he had Pen…he was hurting her, I had to stop him.”

    “Where?” Anthony demanded.

    “The conservatory.”

    “Take me,” he said sternly.

    Summary

    The Bridgertons always spend their summer holidays together at Aubrey Hall, a beautiful ancestral home that has been in their family for generations.

    This year, they find themselves without it while the house undergoes important renovations, so Violet and Marcus decide to take the entire family and some friends to Crete, hiring a stunning villa for three weeks on one of the largest Greek Islands.

    Colin Bridgerton is over the moon. He loves visiting Greece and now he gets to show his family, and most importantly, his best friend Pen, all his favourite sights on the Island.

    Penelope Featherington, despite being excited at being included on this once in a lifetime holiday, is hoping that she can keep her sanity intact and that her unrequited love for Colin doesn't finally drown her completely in the Aegean Sea.

    The Bridgertons prove themselves to be just as meddlesome and competitive as ever as they try and push these two idiots in love together.

    Or

    A Polin love story, with a whole lot of sun, sea and meddlesome Bridgertons.

    Summary

    Thanks to a typo made by an overworked scheduling nurse, Penelope Featherington was accidentally artificially inseminated, resulting in her becoming a pregnant virgin at the age of 26. And to make matters even more absurd, Colin Bridgerton may or may not be the father.

    Granted, neither of them knew that was actually a possibility.

    For one thing, Colin had never told anyone, aside from Anthony and his mother, about his decision to bank his sperm. And he certainly wasn't ready to tell his best friend about how the sperm he'd banked had recently gone missing. (In retrospect, the clinic being named Pall Mall Family Planning probably should've been considered an omen.)

    And Penelope certainly didn't have any reason to discuss her sex life (or lack thereof) with Colin of all people, so she was perfectly fine with letting him assume that she'd been knocked up by a one-night stand. He didn't even know she was still a virgin!

    In any case, there are plenty of other candidates for the paternity of Penelope's baby. (And this author makes zero promises! ;P)
