Summary
“I want to feel you,” she tells him breathlessly. “Please, Colin.”
He stops her hand from moving. “Are you sure?” He searches her face for certainty.
She gulps and thinks about her answer. He wonders if she’s thinking about Alfie. “Maybe this isn’t the best idea,” she eventually says.
Colin deflates, casting his eyes away from her and up to the ceiling. “You’re right,” he agrees.
“Unless,” she starts, and he’s snapping his gaze back towards her, watching with bated breath as she blinks her eyes open to stare at him surreptitiously. “Maybe if you put it in and don’t move. If neither of us come, we wouldn’t be fucking, just keeping each other warm.”
Or…
Colin and Penelope are stranded at Aubrey Hall during a snow storm with no electricity or heat. They haven’t seen each other in five years, and despite a complicated history, they have to get creative to stay warm.

Summary
“Truth or dare?” He asked.
He grabbed the wine, taking a swig before passing her the bottle.
She paused, grabbing the bottle, ignoring that electricity she felt when their fingers brushed. She took a large gulp before answering, “truth.”
He raised an eyebrow her way, “what’s a secret you’ve never told anyone?”
She considered it, considered the little ones when she was younger to the bigger ones as an adult but she came back to one, the watered down version of the truth maybe but still a truth that existed at some point in her life.
“I used to have this massive crush on you.”
Or Five Christmases Colin and Penelope spend togther and one they spend when they're finally together.

Summary
When Eloise announces she wants to move again, it coincides with Colin's desire to purchase a London flat. It makes sense for them to move in with him financially, but Eloise takes some convincing and as Colin and Penelope work together to persuade her, they fall back into a closer friendship. Meanwhile, Penelope's casual work hook-up starts pushing for something more but her dormant teenage crush on Colin has come back in full force. Still, she has to be realistic, right?
But when Colin makes her an interesting offer, it has the potential to change everything. It also might burn everything down. She won't know until she tries.

You Are the Only Thing In Any Room You're Ever In by Gowingowingone

Summary
As Colin looked at the pair from across the ballroom, the jealousy bloomed grotesquely in his chest, like a large carnivorous plant that threatened to swallow him whole. When Penelope took Lumley by the elbow, Colin felt a phantom weight at his own side, taking his arm. In that moment, he could not help the image that flashed into his mind— Penelope on his arm, beaming up at him. Her eyes were shining as they usually did in those small moments between just the two of them. The jealousy was overtaken by something else, a kind of…yearning. To have Penelope at his side, to have her look at him like that again.
It was at exactly that moment that Penelope turned to scan the ballroom, and her gaze caught his.
Oh.
Oh.

Yet another addition to the world of Season 3 speculation! This will definitely follow show canon more than book canon, with some references to the book along the way.

Summary
All Penelope wants is Colin. The moment he stepped out of the carriage and asked for her hand, she realized she would be willing to give up Lady Whistledown entirely for him.
All Colin wants is Penelope. He has never felt so strongly for anyone before; this is the first time he's ever felt truly seen and understood. Now that he is aware of his feelings, he will do anything in the world for her.
But nothing is ever so simple, is it? When secrets come to a head and choices need to be made, both discover that their love is not perfect: but it is theirs.
This is my version of season 3 part 2, based on the trailer footage we received and with my own spin on the story!

Summary
Anthony paused briefly and gave his brother a pointed look. “If this is a matter of wetting your wick—“
“Enough!” Colin leapt from his chair and moved toward his brother. “You insult me and my intended.” He straightened to his full height, now towering over Anthony sitting at his desk. “But if that is what you truly believe, that my being green and naïveté is what has led me to fall for Miss Thompson, then escort me to one of your bloody brothels and be done with it. If ‘wetting my wick’ as you so crassly put it, brother, is what it takes for you to believe me serious, I will—however begrudgingly—accompany you.”

Summary
Colin abandons his travels to head home early because Penelope refuses to respond to him. He is bound and determined to get to the bottom of this when he returns, but a nasty storm hits while at sea making him feel he will never make it home as he is knocked unconscious and heading towards the bottom of the ocean.
Meanwhile
Penelope receives yet another one of Colin’s letters stating he is returning early because he cannot focus on anything but her and why she wasn’t responding to him. The last thing he put in his letter was “prepare yourself.” What a joke. That was until she had unannounced visitors claiming that Colin was gone! She should have wrote to him. She should have told him why she was angry. She should have done something besides ignore him. Now he was gone…
…and it was all her fault.I will eventually change the rating for this but we have a bit before that happens. 😁

The bookish little girl he met just once is now a stunning young woman, full of life, hope, and impossible temptation.
Tasked with finding her a husband, Colin instead hoards her attention, sabotages her suitors, and crosses lines a guardian should never cross. But the more he fights his desire, the more he realises—he doesn’t want to protect her innocence… he wants to claim it.
