Summary
Colin thought he was doing a nice thing. He thought he was being a good friend. He thought Pen would be lonely on her impulsive trip to Ibiza after her dud of a fiancee broke up with her. He thought she'd appreciate his company and that he dropped everything he was doing in New York to spend the week with her and help her have a little fun. What he hadn't spent much time thinking about, however, were his best friend's honest motivations for this solo holiday…
—
Or, Penelope goes to Ibiza to get laid after ending her engagement and Colin unknowingly accompanies her to fulfill that goal and much, much more.

Summary
Violet Bridgerton has had enough of her three eldest sons refusing to engage with the marriage mart. She has seen her daughters Daphne and Francesca married in the last four seasons but she wants more grandchildren and she wants them now.
And so, in the week before the whole family and ton are due to descend on Aubrey Hall for the annual Hearts and Flowers Ball, Lady Violet has invited a select group of eligible ladies to the Hall to participate in a series of challenges where the ultimate prize is up for grabs: marriage to one of the three oldest Bridgerton brothers. Penelope Featherington is on her fourth year on the mart with no prospects.

multichap fic I will correct the chapter count on update.
Whistledown exists, Colin didn’t make any foolish declarations in the Featherington gardens, Penelope and Eloise are grand. Prudence is still unmarried. This started out as a purely crack fic but I accidentally kept adding plot and making myself cry. There is still quite a lot of crack though. If you crave period accuracy, sorry. I researched some bits with fervour and then hugged an anachronism or two for the giggles.
I’m trying to be consistent, but I make the rules and my brain is wonky).Bookmarked by Reading_Corgi

Summary
The Featherington family inherit a house, and it brings Penelope within punching distance of Colin Bridgerton.
He’s maddeningly cute, ridiculously nice (which is stupidly hot), and has some weird ideas about the rules of ‘yellow car’.
There’s a spark, for sure. Is it friendship? Or is it more? There are a lot of teenage hormones in the mix so it’s hard to know, but it shouldn’t take them long to figure out, right? Right?!

Summary
“This is sad.”
“It’s Titanic, Kate. It’s hardly a comedy.”
“Not the movie. The fact that we’re sitting here on a Saturday night. Alone. Eating chocolate and drinking wine.”
“What do you suggest.”
“I’m just saying – we created the biggest dating app in the UK and look at us.”——-
Kate Sharma, Sophie Baek and Penelope Featherington created the biggest dating app in the UK; it was time for them to use it in an attempt to find their own true loves.
And it just so happened that at the same time journalist Colin Bridgerton was asked to report on the success of Roses & Rakes, and how better to measure its success than create profiles for himself and his two elder brothers?

Summary
At four-and-forty, Colin Bridgerton found himself wanting more from life than travel. Something steady. Something that lasted.

Summary
New York Times Bestselling author Colin Bridgerton is in the midst of a flop. The sales for his second romance novel are abysmal, the online reviews are even worse, and someone out there is writing fanfics of his work that far outshine the original.
There’s only one person who can help him fix this. The only problem? He hasn’t spoken to her in seven years.

Summary
“After years of traveling all over the world, seeing incredible things and meeting fascinating people, Colin Bridgerton took everyone by surprise when he said he was coming home and wanted to pursue teaching.
He reached out to Penelope first, asking for advice and a bit of help with the certification process. Penelope was glad to help him; her heart was warmed by Colin’s newfound passion for education, and slowly but surely, Colin was ready to apply for teaching positions. It wasn’t until he had secured a spot at Penelope’s school that she began to grow nervous.”
Childhood friends Colin and Penelope teach in classrooms across the hall from one another. Penelope, in her fourth year of teaching English, shows first-year-teacher Colin the ropes of their now shared profession. As they spend more time together throughout the term, the pair come to see one another in a new light, and the lines between friendship and something more begin to blur.

Summary
Colin Bridgerton never intended to take another wife—not after losing Marina, the woman he truly loved. But when her favourite cousin, Penelope, arrives for her debut season, he is unprepared for the way she upends his carefully guarded world.
The bookish little girl he met just once is now a stunning young woman, full of life, hope, and impossible temptation.
Tasked with finding her a husband, Colin instead hoards her attention, sabotages her suitors, and crosses lines a guardian should never cross. But the more he fights his desire, the more he realises—he doesn’t want to protect her innocence… he wants to claim it.

Summary
Before the fights and the couples’ therapy and the slow, inevitable drift. Before the night he came home from work to find Marina on the sofa, pale and drawn, already knowing every word that was about to come out of her mouth (because the words were already on his tongue, weren’t they?). Before the thousands spent on divorce lawyers and moving into the sad flat Anthony found for him and having to tell the fucking kids (worst bit – Oliver had gotten so quiet and Amanda had cried silently; wouldn’t let either of them touch her).
He could have gotten out of it. Ben had called him and said we can find someone else in a way that made it very clear they probably couldn’t, and Colin being Colin (reliable; helpful – a dope, maybe), had said no, no, I’ll do it.
Which is how he ends up in Bari, parked in a service station in a cramped hire car; forty-five; divorced; and about to embark on a two-week trip across Italy he had booked in an attempt to save his marriage. Without, you know, his wife.
.OR: post-divorce, Colin Bridgerton takes his friend Penelope on a road trip to Italy

Summary
“Are you sure you’re okay?” She looked up at him through her pale eyelashes, a small hand reaching out to gently touch his forearm sending sparks through his body. “You seem… different.”
How could he explain that he seemed different because he was different? What words could he string together to convey that suddenly he looked at her and he really saw her and now he can’t unsee her? What explanation could justify his foolishness for not having seen it sooner? For letting things get this far? For acting so out of character the past twenty-four hours? How could he describe the wave of anxiety consuming him from his toes to his eyeballs? The undeniable urge taking over his body to grab her, pull her into his arms, and kiss her until neither of them could breathe?
“I’m fine. Just tired, I guess.”
Penelope dropped her hand and he felt cold at the loss of her. “Okay then.”
--
Teenaged Colin spirals after seeing Penelope kiss someone else at a party and realizing for the first time that he views her as so much more than a friend.

The Littlest Matchmaker by KatofKanals

Summary
In her fourth year teaching kindergarten, Miss Penelope Featherington thinks she’s seen it all—identical twins who wore matching outfits every day and were impossible to tell apart, a little boy who only talked about himself in the third person, a girl who managed to find a pair of scissors in the cafeteria and cut essentially all her hair off… This year, though, Chloe Bridgerton catches her by surprise. She’s never met a child who so immediately captured her heart. Chloe’s not the only Bridgerton pulling on her heartstrings either. Her “easy on the eyes,” charming father Colin captures her attention in an entirely different way. She’s never had a hard time remaining professional with her students’ parents in the past, but this man might just test every rule and guideline she tries to live her life by—both within the walls of her classroom and outside it too. To make matters more complicated, sweet little Chloe seems determined to become a successful matchmaker on her very first try.
--
Or, the one where Pen is a kindergarten teacher, Colin is a single Dad, and they fall in love in part thanks to the meddling of a very special little girl.

Summary
Of course there were rumors perpetuated about Penelope Featherington and Eloise Bridgerton amongst the wagging tongues of the mamas and gossips. Nothing of substance, just nods and winks about the “two women of no relation” who lived together during the off season. Penelope recognized their rumors as fear based murmurings rather than anyone with a true axe to grind (or information to trade) and steadfastly refused to print them in Whistledown both because everything they were insinuating was untrue and also because the last thing she wanted to do was draw further attention to the truth of her situation, which was more complicated (and scandalous) than any of those mamas would have ever expected.
And if there was proof, it was staring Penelope right in the face in the form of her pristine white sheets.-
