Summary
"What are you all so excited about?" Penelope asks.
Philippa is nearly bouncing in her seat when she says, "Lord Whistledown!"
Penelope shakes her head. "I thought you read Lady Whistledown the other day?”
"No, you dimwit," Prudence says. "LORD Whistledown."
"Lord…what?" Penelope snatches the pamphlet out of Portia's hand - a gasp of surprise that Penelope barely hears coming from her mother - and begins to read what it right in front of her.LORD WHISTLEDOWN
A gentleman's pamphlet and attempt to woo

Summary
A year ago, Colin was still searching every corner of the earth he could get to for a purpose.
A year later, in the house across the Square from his childhood home, he has found more purpose than most do in a lifetime.
He is grateful for all of it. Joyful, disbelieving at his own luck, and endlessly grateful.
But it is quite a lot to balance, now. He wonders often if he is truly up to the task.
_____
This is second in a series of Married Polin stories in which Colin and Penelope navigate what Happily Ever After actually looks like. Just because an initial love story gets a happy ending does not mean everything comes easily. There is work to maintain that HEA. Happy work. Work that is worth it. But still: WORK.

Summary
Penelope knows how many times she has shared tea with Colin. She knows the number of times they have danced, knows how many times he touched her before they were engaged, how many letters they have written, how many crystal goblets they received as wedding gifts.
She did not know he knew how many sugars she takes in her tea.
That is something for which she did not account.

Summary
Her newer dresses suited her more, of course, made her look more adult. And God, the lavender work of art she was wearing today was both a lace-wrapped weapon and a daydream, lethal to his fragile heart, the answer to his unspoken prayers. She was poured into it, gorgeous, and he longed to drink her every drop. He even caught Benedict looking at her as surreptitiously as possible, which for Benedict is borderline obvious.
Colin had punched him - not lightly - in the arm.
Benedict smirked. “I am sorry,” he whispered.
“She is married. To your brother.”
“She is a rose in bloom. What is anyone to do but look? You are a lucky man.”
“I know,” he said quietly into his champagne glass.
Colin’s heart simultaneously softened and cracked a bit more at that. He was getting used to carrying duality in his chest pocket, these days.-OR-
Colin and Penelope made a plan to reveal Lady Whistledown to the Queen in the Bridgerton House study after Francesca's wedding. Colin's part in the plan did not play out on screen, but that is what we, dearest gentle readers, have fan fiction for.

Summary
“How could you?” Colin asks, voice faint, but slowly growing in volume as he continues. “You…everything you have written, all the lives you have destroyed…How could you?”
“I never meant to…” Penelope says, trialing off. She is shaking, her shoulders trembling and eyes filling with tears. “You do not understand, Colin—”
“—of course I do not understand,” He interjects quickly. “What is there to understand, Penelope? You…What you have done…”

Summary
His kind do not surface often. The old stories say it invites trouble—human nets, human curiosity, human cruelty. Anthony reminds him of this regularly. Colin has never cared, and this is the part of his day he looks forward to most. The slow ascent toward the light. The knowledge of what waits for him above.
Who waits for him above.
The Little Mermaid AU exactly one person asked for. Artwork by YoukaiYume.

Summary
When he finally spoke his voice was a low rumble. She could practically feel it vibrating through her whole body.
“You’re such a good girl, Pen.”
And fuck, she knew in that second she was done for. There was no returning to normal after this.
