Summary
After another detour, another hour in traffic, and then another detour, they’re finally rolling through a mostly clear, fairly deserted stretch of road. Then, the GPS on the screen loses signal.
“Fuck,” he mutters. “Can you check your cell?”
Penelope does, but there’s not even a hint of a bar. For good measure, she checks his, but it’s just as signal-less.
“I can’t believe we’re lost,” she says with a giggle. “You’re gonna be hungry soon.”
“You afraid you’re gonna get eaten first?” he asks with a stupidly charming grin. Penelope nudges him with her elbow.
“If we turn back now, we’re going to end up doing this for another five hours,” Colin whines. “And I’m worried I’ll probably get us more lost with how all the detours ended up.”
“There was a sign for an inn not that far back. Do you want to try our luck?” she asks him. He purses his lips.
“Probably a better idea, and at least we can be warm inside. I’m dying to be vertical again,” he agrees.
or; penelope and colin get lost on their way to aubrey hall and stay at an inn on christmas.

Summary
"He's been gone too long.
It always hits him like this, it always seems to fall over him all at once. When intricate buildings and foreign cuisine and strangers’ faces are no longer endless and exciting new beauty but instead reminders of home.
The walls here remind him of the hall where the debutants make their attempted marks. The stairs up to the gallery are carpeted, and as the soles of his boots lay upon each one, the give sends him right back to the steps at Bridgerton House. The light is even shining similarly to how it does back in England, and perhaps the sun is the same everywhere but he never seems to notice that until the pain of distance becomes ineludible.
Yes, he feels it right behind his heart, in the way he swallows more thickly as he wakes now. It’s in each breath, as if the air here just isn't quite right…
That woman’s hair is so much like…
Christ.
It is endless.
It is time to go home.
He won't, though. Not for a while. Never does."

Summary
“We’re friends. I’m happy to do you a favour.”
She really does mean it. There is nothing Penelope wouldn’t do for Colin Bridgerton.
But then he raises his eyebrows, clears his throat, and says, “I was wondering if you might consider letting me fuck you and pretend that I am trying to get you pregnant.” He pauses, pondering before he adds: “Please.”
---
Or, after a series of increasingly unhinged sex dreams, Colin asks Penelope if he can roleplay getting her pregnant. Platonically, of course. That should get it out of his system.

Summary
What if Colin were forthright under the willow tree? This story follows canon up to that pivotal moment, then takes a different path. Colin and Penelope confess their feelings earlier, setting their romance in motion not in secret, but in full view of their wonderfully nosy families. There’s still tension and a touch of angst, but better communication means more flirting, laughter, and much less pining. With Benedict as wingman and both the Bridgertons and Featheringtons weighing in (helpfully or not), their brand of support.

Summary
“I—” she stared up at him and said in a small voice, “it’s too much to ask of you.”
“It’s not,” Colin said firmly. “Don’t overthink it,” he urged her.
Ten minutes ago, she had no home and no chance that she would ever know where her dad was. Colin had just walked into the room and taken control of everything within a matter of minutes, like her own personal white knight.
“Just let someone take care of you for once.”
In which Colin slowly, inadvertently, and inevitably becomes Penelope’s sugar daddy.

Summary
Penelope
We're good.
Colin
Awesome!!
You're the best Pen
But enough of that
Your soul mark must have come in by now right??
What was it???
Penelope frowned and looked the quill on her thigh, blinking back tears. It was strange, she'd spent so much of her life believing that she'd been born for Colin Bridgerton, and she knew now that he was born for her too. But he didn't want to be. And somehow, that hurt worse than him not being born for her at all.
Penelope
I didn't get one.
Just another shitty thing I got from my dad.
Or didn't get, depending on how you look at it.
Colin
Fuck
Shit Pen I'm so so sorry
Penelope
It's okay, Colin.
And so, at the age of twenty-one, Penelope knew two things.
Colin Bridgerton was her soulmate.
And he could never know.

Summary
“Colin!” Penelope shouts, her face lighting up with a smile that had to be a million or two watts, rivaling the brightness of the sun.
“Pen,” he says, feeling some kind of weight drop from his shoulders, replaced by her when she jumps on him. Her arms wind around his neck and instinctively, he catches her, one hand on the back of her thigh and the other pressed against her lower back.
“Fuck, I missed you,” she breathes.
It’s exactly the homecoming he’d wished for. His heart takes off in his chest. She smells like vanilla and lavender, and her whole body is warm and wrapped around him, and he wonders if maybe they could stay like this for the rest of their lives, because God, he’s missed her, too.
With his face buried in her neck, Colin murmurs, “Yeah, me, too.” Neither of them really let go, and he doesn’t want to read into it that much because—he doesn’t even know. Because he’s scared, maybe. Probably. Because he doesn't understand it and doesn’t want to. Because for all his exploration of caves and canyons, he isn’t sure he’s ready for whatever he’d find the second he reads the text of their friendship and discovers something hidden between the lines.

Summary
“I, uh, guess I’ve put on a bit of weight?” He doesn’t know why it comes out as a question. He chews his cheek. “I suppose I hadn’t quite realised how much.”
His eyes dart away, not wanting to see the pity on her face. He knows he doesn’t have to say anything else and she will understand. She always does.
But she turns to face the mirror, her back pressed against him. “Colin,” she says softly, and he is forced to look back into the reflection.
“You have no idea, do you?” Her eyes regard his in the mirror, her lashes fluttering as she blinks at him. “How gorgeous you are. How much I want you.”

Summary
"Normally, I only have to think of you reading my letters for my muse to alight upon my shoulder and guide my quill across the page. You said once that there is so much more to say than what one can put into a letter… tell me, Pen… do you have nothing to say? Have my letters missed the mark? Your silence is most unusual, and I cannot help but feel perplexed, as I cannot figure out what could possibly be keeping you from responding… twelve letters, Penelope… one, or two is an accident… twelve is a punishment."
Colin returns to London for the Season of 1815, hoping to reconnect with his friend Penelope - only to discover that everything has changed between them.

Summary
Colin. She wants Colin. Needs him like the air in her lungs, the blood in her veins. Deeply, in her soul, Penelope knows he is the cure to this intolerable ache. This insatiable greed.
But Marina was right. She won’t have him and she never will. Winning his affection is nothing but a dream- like getting a unicorn as a pet or waking up one day or finding out her mother actually loves her.
