Summary
Colin has accused Penelope of entrapping him. Penelope is heartbroken with the way her marriage starts with the love of her life. After Colin goes to see Cressida to get her not to blackmail Penelope and fails, they barely speak to each other. Penelope would love to talk to Colin and work on their marriage, but he is very distant with her. She thinks it over and decides she does not want to live in a loveless marriage. It is obvious that Colin does not love her since he goes out of his way to avoid her and has not touched her since their first time.
Follow along with me as I explore another way Season 3 Part 2 could have played out. I would like to say that I just hated that Anthony, Kate, Daphne, and Simon were not at John and Francesca’s wedding. I will be remedying that. I also wished Daphne and Simon were at Polin’s wedding. For purposes of this story, we are going to say that they were there and yes Daphne is pregnant with her and Simon’s second child. This is a retelling of Season 3 Part 2 the way I would have liked to have seen it.

Summary
What if Colin, Pen were real people in 2024, who spoke the way we do, and act the way we do and we just skipped every trope about their relationship in most fan fiction, but kept all the explicit sex stuff?
This story is a real long ride, and you've gotta be into the journey and believe there's more to the Pen and Colin story than happy ever after (though they get there). In order to really let go and learn to love eachother, they're going to have to each get over their own shit, cause these kids have seen things.
Tons of Bridgerton family interaction, no Whistledown or rando characters, realistic depictions of sex, therapy, and so much Golden Retriever Colin you'll want to buy him a collar and leash.

Summary
Five years ago the Featherington sisters vanished after the news of Lord Featherington’s untimely death. Some people in the ton have settled with the idea that they have perished, others claim they were taken by supernatural forces, and some even speculate that they ran away to avoid the scandal of their father’s death and poverty.
Only few know the truth, and it is as bone chilling as your worst nightmare.
Colin refuses to accept his friend’s terrible fate, so he acquires himself a vicious and reliable crew and begins his search for the Featherington’s. As days, months and years pass, Colin begins to worry his efforts are futile, but when Benedict—his first mate and older brother implore him to never give up hope, they come face to face with a reality they never imagined possible.

Summary
Following the book-storyline, where Colin finds out that she is Whistledown way before the wedding and they reconcile much sooner. A retelling of season 3 with a greater focus on happy Polin, a self-conscious Penelope, Colin "my wife" Bridgerton and of course a lot of good smut. Will be multi-chapter.
Chapter 1 sets in after their engagement. They have not yet been... intimate (except for the carriage of course). He has followed her to the printer that day and found out about her identity.
-----
Reupload of my former fic "A story of love and broken quills" with a few changes. I DO NOT own Bridgerton or it's beautiful world, I simply like to mingle with it. Title/Chapter titles are inspired by Taylor's "I can see you" (TV). I do not own this, too, of course.Bookmarked by LeandraDeRaven

Penelope ran away from the Ton, giving Colin what she thought he desperately wanted: his freedom. She loves him too much to allow him to be trapped in a loveless marriage with her.

Summary
“This is not happening Colin. I am not going to play any part in this, do you hear me?”
“Of course, nobody would expect you to fall over at my feet, especially in light of my unforgivably rude comments last Season.” Colin said, all reason and calm as he collected his hat from a footman, “And what would be the entertainment in that? You must be permitted to test my mettle as a suitor. Indeed I am beginning to look forward to the chase.”
“There will be no entertainment! No chase!” Penelope protested, panic steadily rising within her. “Colin-”
“Good day, Miss Penelope.” Colin smiled, familiar laughter and devilry dancing on his handsome face. She watched in mute outrage as he tipped his hat to her and strolled out her front door.
After his careless words ruined Penelope's prospects on the marriage mart, Colin is determined to do everything he can to restore her reputation and to find her a good match, even if it means pretending to court his best friend.
However, outside forces with a grudge against the Bridgertons inadvertently transforms a wallflower into the most coveted prize of the London Season of 1815.
