    Summary

    It's been an unbearably long day at the end of an unbearably long week, but Colin Bridgerton is finally on the cusp of some genuine rest and respite. Seven days ago, his brother-in-law died suddenly of a brain aneurysm with absolutely no prior history, no symptoms, and not a single bit of warning for any member of his family to prepare.

    --

    Or, modern Polin are tired and grieving but still they need to feel each other too.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Can't be witty with this bookmark as it reminds me thT I have yet to process the loss of John. Perhaps I too need a simultaneous orgasm and breakdown.

    Summary

    Jane first asked about her dad when she was four.

    By the time Jane was six, she didn’t care that she didn’t have a dad, all she wanted was for Uncle Colin to be her dad. He was incredible and she wanted someone that incredible to be her dad.

    Or fed up at age nine, Jane Featherington asks her aunts and uncles to help make her Uncle Colin her dad.

    (Chaos obviously ensues.)

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Sometimes you do need a few birthday wishes to get the father you want. This story is typical in its Bridgerton shenanigans but more tender and slower in terms of Polin getting together. But the wait is worth it.

    Also, beware of horses.

    Summary

    Colin and Penelope were just friends.

    At least mostly, they were just friends. Completely and perfectly friendly and one hundred percent normal about ninety percent of the time. Even when he was couch surfing at her flat between jobs abroad, everything was okay.

    They were just friends.

    Well, for six days of the week anyway.

    Summary

    The daydreaming would not stop, fantasies consuming him, moulding his brain into one string of PenelopePenelopePenelope.

    It only grew from there, morphing from her being pregnant into getting her pregnant. Nothing could quite extinguish the need in Colin to keep thinking of claiming her body forever, forging a bond greater than anything, one that could never, ever be broken.

    It wasn’t so weird, he tried to reason, to be obsessed with thoughts of his own wife with her beautiful curves, pleading him to come inside her and get her pregnant.
