    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.

    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.

    wordsunknown: my family is throwing a party on the 23rd (masquerade themed!)
    wordsunknown: and i was wondering…
    wordsunknown: if i invited u, would u come?
    l.whistledown: you mean… you want to meet in person?

    They were kindred spirits, l.whistledown and wordsunknown. Two souls that seemed to know each other intrinsically, immediately. Almost like they were destined to get along.

    Because they already knew each other. And they already got along.

    Summary

    It's exhausting, honestly. Loving someone this much.

    Six months of silence, and then Aubrey Hall.

    Penelope and Colin are thrown back into each other’s orbit for Kate and Anthony’s wedding, with too much history and not nearly enough distance. Tension simmers, old wounds resurface, and neither of them is as unaffected as they’d like to be.

    Summary

    It's been 10 years since Penelope and Colin last saw each other. Penelope Featherington is officially settled into spinsterhood and the talk is that the third born Bridgerton’s misadventures have changed him and he is no longer a charming gentleman but a stoic man with scars and a far away expression. The Bridgertons, for Colin’s wellbeing and to settle their name back into polite society- arrange a marriage for him. They choose Featherington's youngest and unmarried daughter- Penelope Featherington, but she is no longer the wall flower girl Colin once knew.

    Summary

    “Colin?” she called and he pulled himself out of his thoughts, thinking that he really missed the way she said his name.

    “Perhaps we can change that,” he responded.

    An adorable frown formed on her forehead, “Pardon?”

    Colin didn't know where the conversation was heading but spoke anyway. “I could make some introductions. Pen, anyone would be lucky to court you.”

    Penelope's frown deepened, “I- That's totally unnecessary, Colin.”

    He was puzzled, didn't she want to marry? “Why not? You could meet someone and-”

    “There's really no need to go to all this trouble,” she said with a tone of finality.

    “But-”

    “I have a lover, Colin!” she blurted.

    Summary

    The vest hung open.

    Penelope stood in front of the mirror holding the marigold loosely between her fingers.

    The girl in the mirror looked… different from the one she remembered.
    Softer in some places.

    Sharper in others.

    But undeniably real.

     
    Alive.

     
    Seven months ago, she would have picked the image apart immediately.

    But today something strange happened.

    She just looked.

    Before she could think about it too much, she raised the camera and took the picture.She opened the caption field.

     
    Typed slowly.

     
    Still here.

    Spring showed up anyway 🌼

    Then she pressed post.

     
    Notifications flooded the screen.

     The sunlight.

    The marigold.

    Penelope Featherington looking like some sort of modern Botticelli painting.

    “Oh my god.”

    "HELLO?????🤯🤯🥵"

    "WHEN DID WE START DOING RENAISSANCE PORTRAITS????!!!🤯🤯😻"

     
    The comment count kept rising.

     
    Thousands of strangers noticing her.

     
    Colin felt something sharp twist in his chest.

     
    He opened the comments.

     
    Immediately regretted it.

    Summary

    At 34 years old, Colin decides to adopt. What he didn't expect was that, upon crossing the doors of the children's home, he would find two people who would change his life: Agatha, a beautiful baby whom no one seems to choose, and Penelope, a pretty volunteer librarian at the home with whom talking becomes far too easy.

    As the bond grows, Colin must make a decision that will change everything: to choose with his heart, even when time is not on his side.

    Summary

    "Can I help you find something?"

    Penelope Featherington jumps at the sound of a voice coming from behind her. She shouldn't be surprised, however, that the young, dark-haired, friendly-looking man who was behind the counter earlier is checking on her now. She's been standing frozen for the last few minutes in front of a wide display of items lined up on a wall that are entirely foreign to her. They're entirely foreign to her because she's a virgin in a sex shop, and suddenly the grand plans she had coming in here today all feel very, very stupid.

    --

    Or, virgin Pen wanders into Colin's sex shop one day in an unusual beginning to their happily ever after.

    Summary

    Colin knows the signs. Blood humming in his veins. Gut stirring with need. A temper that flares without rhyme or reason. His rut looms on the horizon, meaning it’s time to download the apps and go through the motions of mating simply to stave off biological need.

    It’s begrudging. Empty. Not at all what he wants and something that only satisfies his alpha. No, what Colin wants is a connection. Intimacy. Someone he can fall asleep beside and take to breakfast the following morning. And he is certain he won’t find that on the apps.

    But then he meets Anne, and his life is irreparably changed.

    Summary

    Penelope Featherington keeps Oakhaven District General running from a repurposed linen cupboard and has no time for beautiful men in pathology with rich voices and terrible excuses for broken equipment.

    Colin Bridgerton is a traveling biomedical scientist on a six-month contract, running from London, his family, and several unresolved questions about purpose. Then Penelope arrives to fix his analyzer, and Colin’s life, dignity, and ability to behave normally all begin to collapse.

    Or: Colin falls first. Penelope falls harder once she realizes he might leave, and the hospital IT ticketing system is abused in the name of love.

    Summary

    “Damn you, both! I would never even consider a widow, I am not looking for anything like that! It simply will not happen, not in your wildest fantasies, Benedict!”

    Penelope's chest begins to ache slightly at the laughter that rings out in response, she had expected to be a topic of conversation, that was only natural. But this was almost cruel, diminishing her to only her status when they had never even laid eyes upon her. Three years spent predominantly alone has weakened her defenses, no longer needing to shrug off whichever slight or insult her family had aimed her way.

    She pulls back her shoulders and reminds herself that she does not have to stay if society proves to be more of this. She will give it a chance, introduce herself to her neighbours (perhaps avoiding the men), attend any balls or soirees she could get an invitation to and simply see if she fits. Her desire for company was not so great that she was willing to suffer for it. If the Ton proved to not be for her, then Abbey Hall awaits her back in Yorkshire. The only thing her late husband truly provided for her, a secure home should the worst happen and she had not managed to produce an heir.

    Summary

    Just one kiss.

    The question had surprised him; although it should not have, because her bravery has always been one of the many qualities he admired most about her.

    It does not have to mean anything.

    Still, Colin had hesitated. Not because of her, but for her. To ensure she understood the gravity of her ask. To allow her a respite to withdraw it if she wished to do so. But Penelope had not relented, instead murmuring his name and a desperate please that made him weak and ready to surrender to her.

    And since he is Colin and she is Penelope, and he would do almost anything for her, he did as she asked.

    They kissed, just the gentlest brush of their mouths moving together, and—

    After the events of 3x02, Penelope vanishes, Colin falls apart, and a series of very different events are put into motion.
