    Summary

    “Colin already thinks that I have entrapped him- he said so himself… and I cannot bear for an innocent child to get intertwined into his hatred of me. I have lived with parents that despise each other and I cannot bear the thought of me preserving that vicious circle…” Penelope’s voice breaks, but she continues anyway

    “So, I beg of you- Not as Lady Whistledown, but as Penelope, your friend, help me escape.”

    -

    After Colin’s entrapment accusations and a shocking revelation, Penelope decides leaving would be the best for everyone involved.
    No matter how much it breaks her.

    (Also there will be a Penelope and Lady Danbury friendship like in the books- because why the hell would they skip that in the show?)

    Summary

    Colin Bridgerton, third heir to the most powerful crime family in London, meets a mysterious redhead who saves his life in a turf score-settling, jeopardising her own safety in the process. He takes it upon himself to protect her at all costs, even when she clearly does not want nor need his protection. Penelope Featherington has never had anyone care for her before, not even her neglectful mother or indifferent sisters. Will she learn to trust this bad boy’s freely offered help when no one has ever cared whether she lived or died before he came into her life?

    This started as a Dark Colin Bridgerton Mafia AU, but quickly evolved into a badass and darker Penelope Featherington story. Tags will update over time.

    The day after Colin tells his brothers that he is not going to marry Penelope, she wakes up at Aubrey Hall with four young children and a husband who, as far as she remembers, just denied that he would ever want her.

    A wholeheartedly wish you the best of luck, I hope you find a woman who’s good enough for you.

    Love, Penelope.

    Summary

    This is a rewrite of a scene from Bridgerton Season 3 Part 2 when Colin accuses Pen of entrapping him. Uhm sir?... SIR? Wat?!?

    I was so mad that they never revisited this, because it really bugged me.

    Anyways, this fic takes place when he says that to her, but does diverge from the main storyline of the show. When Colin accuses Pen of entrapping him, she instead runs out and drama ensues…

    Hope you enjoy! (:

    Summary

    All Penelope wants is Colin. The moment he stepped out of the carriage and asked for her hand, she realized she would be willing to give up Lady Whistledown entirely for him.

    All Colin wants is Penelope. He has never felt so strongly for anyone before; this is the first time he's ever felt truly seen and understood. Now that he is aware of his feelings, he will do anything in the world for her.

    But nothing is ever so simple, is it? When secrets come to a head and choices need to be made, both discover that their love is not perfect: but it is theirs.

    This is my version of season 3 part 2, based on the trailer footage we received and with my own spin on the story!

    Summary

    Colin Bridgerton had been a fool to not realise what had been before him all that time. He loved his wife more than anything, and the life they had built. Yet often he wondered why he hadn’t known sooner that she was the one. Why he hadn’t noticed how very wonderful she was? What if he too had loved her from the same moment she had fallen for him…

    Summary

    "Normally, I only have to think of you reading my letters for my muse to alight upon my shoulder and guide my quill across the page. You said once that there is so much more to say than what one can put into a letter… tell me, Pen… do you have nothing to say? Have my letters missed the mark? Your silence is most unusual, and I cannot help but feel perplexed, as I cannot figure out what could possibly be keeping you from responding… twelve letters, Penelope… one, or two is an accident… twelve is a punishment."

     

    Colin returns to London for the Season of 1815, hoping to reconnect with his friend Penelope - only to discover that everything has changed between them.

    Summary

    Colin Bridgerton was not a fool, despite what his siblings might think. Nor was he merely a charming and handsome darling, as Lady Whistledown had labeled him in the past. No, Colin Bridgerton was well-read and well-educated, and he was observant, even though his current predicament required no real outlay of any of these qualities.

    Colin Bridgerton knew he had fallen out of favor with Penelope Featherington.

    Watch as Colin Bridgerton goes to increasingly mad lengths to keep Penelope Featherington safe and sound (and away from other suitors).

    Summary

    Following the season 2 finale in which Colin declares he would never dream of courting Penelope and Eloise discovers Pen's LW secret.

    This is my idea for how a Polin-centered Season 3 could work, adapting the book as much as possible. Expect both very romantic Colin, self-denying Penelope, and supportive Bridgertons. If you're here for smut, proceed to chapters 13 and 16 (although chapter 9 dips its toes in the smut waters, somewhat, too). Enjoy!
    (Just a head's up - I wrote this before the Season 3 synopsis was released, so you won't see any Colin teaching Penelope confidence in this one)

    Summary

    'My husband used to write me long love letters as well.'

    Colin flinched, the pen slipping from his hand at the sound of her voice. The housekeeper stood over him, holding onto a silver tray.

    ‘I beg your pardon?’ he said.

    ***

    OR:

    Although Colin sends letters like clockwork, he receives no reply from his friend, Penelope Featherington.

    Is this what it feels like to lose one's mind?

    Summary

    “It is only a faint, Colin. It is startling but not uncommon. Penelope will be fine,” he said. “What were you two doing? A pillow fight?”

    It was flippant and might have eased nerves if Pen was not the one lying so still. Colin scowled. “It is no laughing matter! If we give her back they will want to keep her.”

    The Viscount looked at him with wonder. “Yes, but I don’t think we can judge Lady Featherington for wanting her own daughter back. If you are so concerned, we can make sure the doctor goes with her.”

    “I have proposed,” Colin said flatly.

    Anthony looked at the ceiling, or perhaps said a tiny prayer. “To Penelope! Well, that is different, but you are not married. We cannot simply claim her for the family, welcome as your bride would be.”

    Summary

    "I would like to marry," Penelope said bluntly. She looked him directly in the eye, daring him to disagree.

    "Right." Colin gave a slow nod of the head, clearly taken aback by the declaration. His eyes had gone wide, giving him a look that was reminiscent of cornered prey.

    It seemed that the heavens were intent upon tormenting her.

    "Not you," she managed to say evenly, although she felt tumultuous waves rocking the boat that was her composure.

    "No, of course not," he agreed hastily, embarrassment evident on his face.
