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

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
Penelope swears that she will make it Aubrey Hall if it kills her. The universe takes up her challenge.
Sans carriage and caught in the worst storm that has struck England in living memory, Penelope bumps into a familiar face on the road (what a mystery who could it possibly be!). Their only hope of a shelter in the storm requires a degree of... creative... application of the truth and Penelope finds herself wondering how a young lady is to comport herself when the bounds of propriety have been all but swept away.
Enter Colin, who has a suggestion or two.

Summary
Penelope woke up alone. Alone and in her childhood bedroom. For the third day in a row. Her hand slid down to her lower abdomen. The life that was supposed to be fluttering there did not exist yet and neither did the beautiful children that she had already given birth to.
She had three days to accept that something had happened that had sent her back to just before her first season. She wished she had more time, but with having to wake up every day in the wrong house, the wrong bed, without her husband and children—Penelope had to accept that her current present was her new reality.
No matter how often she cried every morning, hours before Rae came to get her ready for the day.

Summary
Colin Bridgerton had always favoured red heads. He often found it… difficult to connect with another person; even in the most intimate of acts he felt a distance. But when he was with a woman with firey hair, something seemed to flicker in his soul.
A few nights after his return to the ton, he attends a masquerade ball hosted by the notorious Madame Littlelove. It's there he spots a courtesan with the perfect shade of auburn.
Well, at least he thinks she is a courtesan...

Summary
Penelope is invited to spend her first full summer at Aubrey Hall with the Bridgertons. She now has unfettered access to Colin, who never returned for the social season after his travels the summer following the Featherington Ball.
–
Canon divergence (no Whistledown, among other little shifts.)Essentially an imagining of what might have happened if Colin and Penelope had had more time apart, more time for Colin to fester and wilt, and more time for Penelope to “move on.” Also, what might have happened if they had had even more unsupervised access to one another.
-
In truth, I just wanted a very drunk Colin to show Pen some fireflies. But of course it is never that simple.

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. 😁

Summary
Sometimes she wonders what people would say if they knew that Penelope Featherington was Colin Bridgerton's booty call. Felicity would probably spin it into some grand adventure, casting Penelope as the lonely figure stood on some moonlight shore as she waited for her lover to return. Eloise would undoubtedly be violently sick and then call her an idiot... and Penelope, well Penelope could hardly believe it herself.
It has to stop though.
It has to.

Summary
“Does she know who it is then, from the New York office?” Louis enquires.
“Yeah, some guy Henry? Henry Styles I think she said?"
“Harry.”
“What?"
“Harry. His name is Harry Styles.” His heart sank. Louis hadn’t met him, they had only shared a couple of emails back and forth, but he knew exactly who he was. And Harry hadn’t just been killing it in the Big Apple, he’s been ripping the place to absolute shreds, nailing some of the most lucrative accounts in the business.
Louis is so fucked.
Or
The one where Louis is up for a promotion, he just has one tiny, little problem standing in his way.

Summary
“Well,” Louis says, searching for something to relieve this tension. “I think if a bloke gets kicked out of his stats exam for a knock knock joke, he deserves to hear the punchline, yeah?”
“Oh!” Harry says, beaming. “I forgot where we left off, what was it again?” He looks overjoyed to be exchanging a shit joke.
“Ah, you said knock knock, then I said who’s there, and then you said Noah,” Louis supplies helpfully. He hates that he's actually curious about the rest of the joke. “So, Noah who?”
“Oh,” says Harry, in a much different tone, dragging out the syllable. He looks bashful now. Louis cannot keep up with this boy, it's going to kill him. “Right, well.” He shuffles his feet. Fuck, what kind of knock knock joke gets a boy nervous? “Noah a good place we could get something to eat?”
[Harry and Louis get kicked out of a statistics exam for passing a knock knock joke note, and subsequently fall in love. Harry's a virgin, there's a cat, a hot cocoa date, a lot of sex, even more knock knock jokes, and everything is lovely and happy.]

Cause I need to feel
Yeah, I need to say
I must confess
I’m addicted to this
Shove your kiss straight through my chest
I can’t deny, I’d die without this
Make me feel like a god

After storming off in a rage he has a chance meeting with a tall, dark, curly haired stranger.

Unfortunately the man is leaving London the very next day and moving to Australia to work at his mates surf school. Timing, as they say, can fuck right off.

At his thirtieth birthday party, surrounded by people he doesn’t know or doesn’t like, he decides to throw it all in and follow the impossible dream. Happiness, a fulfilling life, and someone to love. The question is, will that dream be found ten thousand miles away on a sandy beach, with a curly headed surfer dude?
Or the one where Louis rides an elevator that may change his life forever, Harry loves the ocean but is a terrible surfer, Liam proves not all heroes wear capes, and Niall might actually have all the answers.
