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 and Colin had a falling out years ago.
Does she still love him? Yes. Is she doing her best to forget him? Absolutely (if you don't count that *one* thing).
He's been busy traveling the world, barely home at all — certainly not for New Year's.
So. What exactly does he think he's doing at the lodge, standing in her room?

Summary
"It’s been so long that I don’t even know how to start… It would be different if I could talk to her face to face, but I can’t just catch a plane and knock on her door. Besides, she must be different now, you’ve seen how confident and gorgeous she looked. She’s famous, she has a boyfriend… I’m just the guy who betrayed her trust.”
OR
Five years after Colin and Penelope had a falling out, she's back in London for work. Their lives have changed drastically during that time, but Colin is determined to get her back as the dear friend she once was or, ideally, -now that he's finally realised the extent of his feelings for her- something more.
So much more.

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 opens his eyes and he blinks - once, twice, three times.
Perhaps, he decides, this is a dream, a byproduct of his subconsciousness, of intrusive, worrying thoughts, of swirling memories of the one person whose been stuck in his head for the past fortnight (or okay, even longer than that) because lying next to him in bed, blue eyes bright, inviting smile on her face is Penelope.
Plot twist: it's definitely not a dream.

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
He’d been enjoying his time in Thailand but home, with its graveyard of brownery and Penelope (Penelope), inspired Colin to cut his trip short by a week. Besides, he had to know if Lady Whistledown, the lady palm proven impossible to kill, had finally received comeuppance for her addiction to talking shit.
Mostly, though, he was resolved.
Colin didn’t want to dance around this anymore. He ascribed to Harry Burns’ school of thought on romance and every moment spent trying to feign indifference felt like a waste. He was going home, and he was going to make her witness what she did to him. No more pretending.

Summary
The Bridgertons are all jetting off to the Scottish Highlands for Christmas and Penelope Featherington is coming with them this year. She's a close family friend and gets along famously with each and every member (young and old) with one significant exception-- the third eldest son, Colin Bridgerton. They may have been best friends as children, but now, in their mid and late twenties, they couldn't be further from friends. These days they can't even be in the same room with one another without trading verbal jabs that intensify steadily until someone literally has to pull them apart. After a lot of deliberation, though, Penelope accepts Violet's invitation despite this fact. She figures they'll be staying in a huge house and there will be a crowd of other people to distract herself with. What she can't possibly know, however, is that the storm of the century and a series of unforeseen events are going to make that house and that crowd much, much smaller.
