Summary
One member of the Ton discovers that Penelope Featherington is everything he wants in a wife, but she is unfortunately already married. Perhaps if he’d lost her to a love match, he’d have been more forgiving, but her new last name wasn’t even Bridgerton!
Or
Someone finds out that the Bridgertons meddled – unsuccessfully – with Penelope’s prospects as a debutante and is mad. But on his own behalf.
[This is more about Penelope that it is interactions between Colin and Penelope. Inspired by Anthony's list of credentials for a wife, though not at all related]

Summary
Returning from his adventures abroad, Colin Bridgerton is startled by Penelope Featherington's icy reception, fueled by his insulting declaration at their ball last year. Determined to make amends, he embarks on a tempestuous journey of redemption and desire.

Or.

Summary
“Honestly, Colin. I think we’ve had enough of this silliness. You don’t want to marry me.”
“Dash it all, Penelope, I’ve just said I—”
“Have you even considered that I don’t want to marry you?”
He reared back, the look of shock on his face almost comical.What if Penelope refused Colin's proposal after the carriage incident?
What if Penelope stood firm in her refusal and Colin had to work a little bit harder for that "yes"?(An alternate take going from the end of Chapter 13 of Romancing Mr. Bridgerton. Book Canon with a few show shout-outs.)
ETA: As some of you may have noticed, I've changed the rating from M to E. I just can't help it. There's some spicy stuff coming (something the book was sorely lacking in) and I wanted it to be just wee bit spicier than what I consider M to be (though I know such things are usually subjective).

Summary
It feels a little odd and a lot like pushing her luck to put a label to what they are doing, like it’ll all slip through her fingers somehow now that she has. Still, the thought sends a thrill through her, from the top of her head to the tips of her toes.
Colin Bridgerton and I are lovers.
If only her seventeen-year-old self could see her now.
