Mr. Bridgerton and Lady Debling by OneAM_Still_Writing for Hayleythewriter
Fandoms: Bridgerton (TV), Bridgerton Series - Julia Quinn
09 Feb 2026

Summary
They started the dance silently. She wondered why he had bothered to ask her to dance at all if he didn’t want to talk. There was so much left to say, but none of it in polite company. And, most importantly, none of what she had to say mattered now. They were both married.
“I almost forgot to congratulate you-”
“You do not need to.”
“But I must-” She insisted.“I’d really rather you didn’t.” He said sternly. Colin’s face was unreadable as he couldn’t meet her eyes. Instead she stared at his clenched jaw. She supposed she wouldn’t have wanted his congratulations either after her own wedding, not that he tried to offer any.
---
1814: Colin Bridgerton realizes he is in love. It should be a joyful time, but with competition for Pen's hand and secrets that threaten to ruin them, the pair's far from a happily ever after.1816: Penelope Debling is trying to make peace with her new life as a Countess running an estate for an absent husband. She is determined to feel content, but when she has to host Colin Bridgerton, old feelings threaten to unravel her.
This story will be told in 2 alternating timelines (complete with double ch drops!) until the first timeline catches up to 1816.

Summary
Between accidental pecks and tipsy makeouts, Colin Bridgerton has amassed over a decade of amusingly awkward moments with Penelope Featherington. Looking back on these ill-fated kisses, he reaches a pivotal conclusion: this next one needs to be epic. Even legendary—because, clearly, his track record could use a win.

Five kisses that were meaningless, and one that wasn't.

it’s a little too late (to do the right thing now) by wereadtoliveathousandlives for Sea_Dragonfly

Summary
It was one of those situations.
The kind where it was going to be a one time thing, and then every time after the first time was just one more time until they’d lost track of how many one times it had been.
They’d broken up for a good reason. They’d thought that then, and they still thought so now. At least most of the time. It only slipped out of her head when Penelope was two gin and tonics in and she was once again ready to convince herself that she could hook up with Colin and not be in love with him (she couldn’t, but, oh, how she tried).
Or, a second chance modern Polin romance

'Come on,' Colin said. 'I ought to get you to bed.'
Penelope released his arms, putting a hand over her heaving bosom. 'Mr. Bridgerton— I am far too intoxicated for that kind of talk.’

Summary
“Honestly, Colin. I think we’ve had enough of this silliness. You don’t want to marry me.”
“Dash it all, Penelope, I’ve just said I—”
“Have you even considered that I don’t want to marry you?”
He reared back, the look of shock on his face almost comical.What if Penelope refused Colin's proposal after the carriage incident?
What if Penelope stood firm in her refusal and Colin had to work a little bit harder for that "yes"?(An alternate take going from the end of Chapter 13 of Romancing Mr. Bridgerton. Book Canon with a few show shout-outs.)
ETA: As some of you may have noticed, I've changed the rating from M to E. I just can't help it. There's some spicy stuff coming (something the book was sorely lacking in) and I wanted it to be just wee bit spicier than what I consider M to be (though I know such things are usually subjective).

Summary
"I would like to marry," Penelope said bluntly. She looked him directly in the eye, daring him to disagree.
"Right." Colin gave a slow nod of the head, clearly taken aback by the declaration. His eyes had gone wide, giving him a look that was reminiscent of cornered prey.
It seemed that the heavens were intent upon tormenting her.
"Not you," she managed to say evenly, although she felt tumultuous waves rocking the boat that was her composure.
"No, of course not," he agreed hastily, embarrassment evident on his face.

then—
“See you later, Pen,” Colin calls out to her one last time before making his exit. The nickname rolls off his tongue like it’s nothing, like she’s always been Pen to him.
Pen.
(She is done for.)
now—
“Penelope,” he says her name with breathless wonder as if he can’t believe she’s right in front of him.
“Colin,” she repeats back to him, and there’s a long pause that follows. There was a time, a very long time, when they would have hugged without a second thought. But things are different now.
