    Summary

    Months of letters unreturned, Colin Bridgerton suddenly hears that Penelope Featherington is to be wed, he is completely anguished and desolate—only to learn that it's a cover for something even more sinister: Penelope has been in a severe accident. Desperate to see her and protect her, Colin sets off for Ireland and arrives to find her unconscious in an infirmary, where he vows to never leave her again. As he fulfills his vow to take care of her, Colin realizes that he has been in love with her all along, but just as he begins to hope for a future together, he finds her room empty one day—Penelope has mysteriously vanished.

    Five long years of desperate searching, Colin unexpectedly meets a transformed Penelope, far from his Pen, now a resilient tradeswoman with no memory of their past. Determined to rekindle their lost connection, Colin faces the ultimate challenge of helping her remember the love she once held for him—a love he had squandered and taken for granted. Colin must confront his past mistakes and fight to win back the heart of the woman he now knows is his past, his present and his future.

This author is eager to know what secret lies behind this marvellous news, of the two oldest friends finding their ways to one another's heart?
    Yours truly,
    Lady Whistledown.

    Summary

    Penelope watched Colin throw her one last pained look before allowing himself to be removed from his perch at her side.

    “You don’t know who we are?” Eloise said before the woman could speak again. There was something flat in the delivery, as though she didn’t quite believe it. Or couldn’t.

    Summary

    “What are you reading, my love?” his voice was thick with sleep, his arms reaching for her as morning light streamed in through the window.

    “A most curious book... a romance.”

    “Well, that is not curious at all,” he smiled, nuzzling into her neck, “a sentimental fool, my wife is.”

    She fondly rolled her eyes at the accusation, uttered by the most romantic man she had ever met.

    “But this romance is not like the others,” she whispered, “Colin, they are not like us.”

    .....

    In which Penelope reads Wuthering Heights and wonders what all the fuss is about.

    “Thank you. For all your kindness. If I secure a proposal, it will be because of you.”

    She turns from him and takes one step before his hand darts out to catch hers.

    “Please do not leave,” he murmurs, thumb gently tracing the inside of her wrist, feeling her pulse leap under his touch, “not yet. There is still so much I need to say.”

    Summary

    A series of season 3 moments that were "left on the cutting room floor" ... in my brain.

    Not changing the plot of anything really, just adding some extra scenes with some more spice and/or affection and/or meaning to some moments. This will just be a bunch of season 3 canon drabbles; some long-ish, some short.

    -Scene 1: Give me five minutes. Maybe ten. or What happened between the mirror scene and the "you're my mess" moment?
    -Scene 2: Colin, I cannot breathe or What happened after Pen fainted
    - Scene 3: Were you ever punished as a child? or What happened in the church scene
    - Scene 4: A Secret Meeting or a "deleted" love scene between Colin & Pen before the LW discovery
    - Scene 5: I shall see you tomorrow or What could have been if the Modiste scene kept going...
    - Scene 6: I only need a blanket for the settee or What could have been with the blanket scene

    Summary

    What if Penelope hadn't been saved by Debling? What if the balloon hit her square in the chest? This is an injury/recovery fic that turns into Polin HEA. Basically, a what-if for the rest of the season after canon divergence at the balloon scene.

    I just felt like the balloon scene could be a little more dramatic . . .

    Summary

    Polin is my favorite Bridgerton couple and while I loved Season 3, there seemed to be some scenes missing that would have made Colin and Penelope's story richer and more complete.

    This is a compilation of extension of existing scenes or additional scenes, adding (rather than replacing) the Netflix show.
