The Seduction Conundrum by ArtistiqueReader12
Fandoms: Bridgerton (TV), Bridgerton Series - Julia Quinn
19 May 2025

Summary
How could she play with Colin’s heart? How dare she try to make a fool out of someone who only ever sought to help, who had had nothing but the purest of intentions when he approached her at the ball to save her from the old lord? How in the devil’s name was Portia supporting the falsehood of a courtship that Marina was weaving? What gave her the right? Why could Marina do it and not her?
That last thought gave her pause, the cogs in her mind turning as her front teeth dug almost painfully into her bottom lip. Truly… If Marina could attempt to entrap Colin, then... why couldn’t Penelope do the same?

Summary
Slowly, his chest went from feeling like it was caving in to languidly crumbling, his heart stopped trying to beat its way out of his chest and went into pangs that, while not comfortable, were more manageable in their intensity. The oxygen flowing through his lungs traveled easier, cleared his head a bit. It hurt, it hurt so much, but at least he felt more in control and not like he was about to faint any second now.
However, he almost wished he had because once the sadness wasn’t threatening to pull him under, red hair, blue eyes and soft, pink lips appeared in his mind’s eye.
Damn.
Damn it all.
Damn it all to hell and back.

Penelope was miserable.
She was miserable and it was her wedding day. She was miserable because it was her wedding day. Her wedding to Lord Alfred Debling.

Summary
“I wish she was gone.” Penelope’s voice was low but sharp, her eyes peeking at him from below her lashes, almost black and infinitely intense as her mouth moved against his palm and her body became a tense line. He held her gaze, frantically searching her face in rhythm with his racing heart before she closed her eyes and sagged once more. When she looked at him again, the iciness had disappeared entirely and only tiredness remained.
However, Colin felt alert, laser focused and centered once more. He took their clasped hands, that had drifted to their midriffs, and placed them on his chest, over the heart that beat for her.
“I’ll do it.”or
5 times Colin got away with murder and the one time Pen caught him.

Summary
"You might — you might pretend to court me," she says.
"You — what?" he asks dumbly. He feels dizzy, his mind working slowly as if he is wading through the lake.
"Just for a few weeks," she explains quickly. "Just to give me — room to breathe. Keep the alphas at bay for a short while."
She blinks up at him , so pretty and plump, her skin shining like polished porcelain in the moonlight. She has the loveliest little flush upon her chest now, blooming in pink patches that he cannot help but imagine beneath his lips.
"I shall pretend to court you," Colin repeats slowly, his eyes tracing over the tops of her breasts, his jaw working helplessly. "And you shall let me — let me bite?" He cannot believe the words dropping from his tongue. "Let me — let me play alpha?" There is a sort of ringing in his ears.
Penelope's eyes go very round then, her breaths coming out quick.
She nods.

Summary
“Look,” he says, his voice low, his eyes cast down. “You’re not, like, wrong, exactly.” His cheeks are flushed a delightful pink, and Penelope thinks, not for the first time, how good he would look in makeup. He has the features for it, cheeks begging for blush and those full lips. Long, fluttering lashes.
“Wh-what?” she stutters, the intoxication of having him this close making her lose it, just a little.
“Since Marina, I can’t… I can’t. You know. Finish.”
Penelope blinks at him. “Um. Okay.” She doesn’t know what to say.
“I kind of have this pretty specific thing I need to happen for me to, you know.” God, he’s still speaking. Colin Bridgerton is talking to her about his orgasm. The negronis are suddenly making themselves known in her limbs and chest. She feels woozy. Are they really talking about this? “And usually I have a way I manage it, but since Marina it’s just not working.” He bites his lip and for the first time since he leaned over the bar, his eyes flicker to hers nervously. “It’s actually making me go a tiny bit insane, I think.”
OR: Colin can't come. Penelope offers to help - as friends, of course.

Summary
The centaur followed her around all afternoon. He was rather irritating, Penelope thought, telling her she was cutting the nettles wrong and pointing out clusters of mushrooms she had already seen. He stood awfully close to her, too, his human parts looming overhead and she had to admit she was a little afraid of his hooves – especially because he liked to stamp them when he got excited. They came across a patch of wild strawberries and he danced around with such vigour that Penelope felt sure he would trample her and the berries both.
“Are they ripe?” he asked her, leaning down as far as he was able to watch her pull the little red jewels from their stems.
Penelope popped one in her mouth and her cheeks sucked in at the sudden sharp-sweet burst upon her tongue. “They are delicious,” she said, and then she realised that he was staring at her with a sort of longing on his face and she shyly held her open palm up to him. He took one of the little treats and popped it into his mouth. His eyes fluttered closed and his cheeks pinked as he chewed.
“Delicious,” he agreed.
OR: centaur colin and human penelope!

Summary
All his weight is on her. Like, all of it. His face has landed somewhere near her hair, his face buried in a cloud of sweet-smelling curls. She smells like orange blossom, like the Jo Malone bottle currently sitting in Colin’s pile of gifts for her.
And he waits for her to wriggle and push him off but instead she - she moans.
More of a breathy whimper, actually, and it is, frankly, pornographic. There is no mistaking it, and something hot and sparkly starts to fizz in him, laughter bubbling in his throat.
So he doesn’t get off her. He just lifts his head. “Pen, did you just-”
Her face is red, scrunched up, her eyes shut. “Shut up,” she breathes.
Delight flutters through him at her reaction, something fizzling and crackling under his skin. He cannot help the wicked smile that breaks across his face. “Oh my god, you like it? You like me squashing you?”
OR - during Christmas at Aubrey Hall, Colin discovers Penelope enjoys getting crushed

Summary
When the king’s men came to take her away, Penelope was not afraid. All she felt was the stamp of hooves in her chest, hot breath upon her skin. The monster called to her and Penelope had nowhere else to go but towards him.
