I'm Reading Your Lips (You're Speaking My Language) by some1_around
Fandoms: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid
22 Dec 2025

Summary
Rozanov cocked his head. “You speak Russian? Or just the curse words?”
“Yes, I speak Russian,” he snapped, defensive and angry. He knew that it had been a mistake to even try to be friendly with Rozanov. “Why? Do I not look Russian to you?” He scoffed.
“No, not really,” Rozanov said. Some of his teammates laughed, although they mostly looked surprised that Shane was speaking to them at all. Rozanov didn’t laugh, though. “Are you Russian?”
“Go fuck yourself.”
+++
Despite an inauspicious start, when Russia’s Ilya Rozanov learns that Canada’s Shane Hollander is fluent in Russian at their first World Junior Championships tournament, it changes everything and sets them on a different course. Instead of being branded as rivals from the very beginning, Ilya and Shane start off as friends.
And, after all, a little friendly rivalry never hurt anyone, did it?

Becoming Mrs. Colin Bridgerton by beeandquill
Fandoms: Bridgerton (TV), Bridgerton Series - Julia Quinn
10 Jun 2025
Tags
Summary
Penelope Featherington never believed in coincidences — everything happens for a reason. At twelve years old, her bonnet slipped from her hair, and that bothersome yellow hat led her to meet the love of her life: Colin Bridgerton.
For four years, she has endured being seen by the third Bridgerton son as nothing more than a friend. That didn’t bother her — not until Colin turned his eyes toward Marina Thompson.
The disastrous and failed engagement between Colin and Marina sparked an unexpected reaction: debutantes began to feel both pity — and attraction — for Colin. That alone enrages Penelope in ways she cannot quite explain. Suddenly, it seems every woman in the Ton wants to be with him. Why? Now they all want to comfort sweet Colin? She won’t tolerate it.
Penelope hasn’t forgotten the pain, the bitterness, or the burning rage she felt when she learned of that engagement. It’s a feeling she never wants to experience again. And she will do whatever it takes to ensure no other debutante steals the love of her life. She will not allow anyone — anyone but her — to become Mrs. Colin Bridgerton.

Summary
Penelope has been in a terrible car accident. While she recovers from her injuries in the care of Violet Bridgerton, she also has to contend with the fact that she can't remember the last eighteen months of her life.
Colin flies to be by Penelope's side to help her during her recovery. He hasn't seen or spoken to her in over a year since they had a painful falling out. She's seemingly happy to see him as she doesn't remember that they are no longer speaking, and Colin is too scared to tell her the truth.
Meanwhile, Penelope has managed to heal years of trauma between herself and her mother, finally reconciling a challenging relationship into one of a truly loving mother and daughter. However, she remembers none of it and wants nothing to do with Portia, leaving her heartbroken.
As Penelope recovers with Colin's help, the two manage to form an even stronger bond, making it more difficult for him to tell her the truth, while she struggles to heal and maybe even get her memories back.

Summary
The exact moment Colin comes, he realises Penelope is watching him.
He is a fucking idiot, isn’t he?
Because he’s so used to touching himself with his noise-cancelling headphones on. Months of staying in dorms and hostels, shared rooms where he must pleasure himself silently, watching porn on his phone under the sheets once he is sure everyone else is asleep. It felt like second nature to do it here, now, on his little sister’s best friend’s sofa where he is crashing for the next two weeks.
In all fairness, she was supposed to be out all evening. She was not supposed to be standing behind him, her eyes darting between his laptop (“BBW redhead facesitting” in his search-bar) and his cock and the cum now painting his stomach and fist, his joggers and underwear pushed to his thighs.

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.

Summary
Penelope Featherington has finally landed the role of her dreams. Better yet, she’s been cast opposite one of her oldest and dearest friends, Colin Bridgerton. The only problem? It’s a sexy regency romance that requires more than a few intimate scenes, and she just happens to be madly (and unrequitedly) in love with him.
Try as she might to retain her professionalism, things start getting heated, until Penelope’s at risk of losing more than just her job.

Summary
After spending a year abroad, Colin Bridgerton returned during summer break and joined his family at Aubrey Hall. Whilst away, Colin realized his heart belonged to his best friend, Penelope Featherington through the many letters they exchanged during his travels. His grand plans to romance her and win her affections was going better than he could have ever imagined; that was until a summer soiree hosted by his brother brought an unwelcomed guest who threatened his family and any future happiness he had hoped for.
“What has happened?” Anthony pressed.
“I did what I had to,” it was all Colin could think to say. Anthony took Colin’s hands in his, turning them over noting the wounds spackled across his knuckles and smatters of blood that covered his skin and clothes.
“Who?” His eyes were wide and intense. It was his protective nature; Colin knew his brother would do anything for his family. He could see Anthony was already anticipating his response without even knowing the occurrence.
“Lord Anderson,” Colin breathed out, rage returning to his voice, “he had Pen…he was hurting her, I had to stop him.”
“Where?” Anthony demanded.
“The conservatory.”
“Take me,” he said sternly.

Summary
In the summer of 1823 Penelope Featherington spends her holiday with Lady Danbury in Kent, close to the sea, after another disastrous social season. After eleven years on the marriage mart without securing a husband, she is officially a spinster and firmly on the shelf. Bored out of her skull with reporting the same old gossip, she seeks adventure and stumbles upon a smugglers’ hideaway tucked inside a cave. Upon exploring the cave for possible treasure, Penelope, to her dismay, is captured by pirates and taken on board the ship Endeavour, where she is left on the Captain’s bed, bound and gagged.
Colin Bridgerton, known to society as a charming rogue and a devil-may-care-jokester, who travels Europe far and wide, actually captains the ship Endeavour and transports essential goods and documents without asking questions. Setting sail on a time-sensitive voyage to the Netherlands, he is stunned to find Penelope Featherington waiting for him in his cabin. Due to the sensitivity of his assignment, he is stuck with her for the trip.
While Penelope is worrying about her reputation, Colin is trying very hard to avoid scandal and save her, but who is saving who….

Summary
Pez blows into his hands and rubs them together to warm them. “Listen. Just… whatever happens in there, say yes, alright?”
“I don’t follow,” Henry says, his brow furrowing. “Say yes to what?”
“Whatever opportunity comes knocking,” Pez says breezily. “You forget, I’ve seen your messages. The booze is flowing tonight, and everyone’s got their best fit on – so opportunity will knock, and you will say yes.”
(A movieverse New Year's Eve fix-it that started as crack and turned into crack taken seriously. With dancing. And smut. Like... a lot of smut.)
