Summary
"At any rate, I am not going to marry soon," Colin grumbled, sending his older brothers a glare. Then, with a slight rise in his voice for finality, he said just about the stupidest thing of his life. "And I am certainly not going to marry Penelope Featherington!"
“Oh.”
And so begins a lengthy love story... 7 years later. But what if we delve deeper into those 7 years? What if we get to watch Penelope and Colin change and mold as individuals and as a friendship throughout that time? What if Polin was the slow burn I so very crave, my Dear Reader?
Read and find out.

Colin Bridgerton and Phillip Crane were about to embark on an epic cross-country road trip across America in a 1967 Camaro. They had been planning it since they met each other their first year at University and now nothing was going to stand in their way.

Summary
"Colin Bridgerton would never dream of courting me," Penelope laughed behind her fan, ignorant to the very man hovering behind the shrubbery behind her, and even less aware of the way his heart shuddered in his chest. "Not even in your wildest fantasies, Lady Cowper."
Colin gritted his teeth and resisted the urge to storm in there and shake the infuriating woman, the same woman who he, apparently, had been courting for the entire season and yet had no idea of his feelings for her.
Bloody hell.
***
Everyone knew that the spinster lady of the Featherington barony had no intentions of marrying and similarly, no man had any intention of marrying her.
So why, pray tell, was the newest Bridgerton bachelor chasing after her skirts like she was some pretty little chit?

Summary
A pile of boy and broomstick lay on the street’s cobbles, deposited squarely on top of her new hat. The boy bit of the pile groaned as he levered himself to his feet. He rubbed a hand through his chestnut curls, both in embarrassment and in an anxious check for spillage.
Another boy, still sat on a broomstick hovering a foot from the ground, was in hysterics.
“Nice one Bridgerton!” he wept.
The first boy grimaced, but his green eyes still sparkled with humour. “Enough, Cedric,” he mumbled, then reached down and picked up Penelope’s hat. He dusted it down with his even dustier hands, then paused and abashedly handed it back to her before he could cause any further damage.
“Sorry, that wasn’t very well done of me, was it?” He gave her a sheepish lopsided smile.
It was in that moment, at eleven-years-old, as she took back her dusty new hat with shaky fingers, that Penelope Featherington fell in love.

How you blinked and missed our favourite Featherington lurking with her quill in the background of the HP series…

Summary
In a world where the marriage ritual leaves a permanent mark on you, the word that reflects your match’s first impression of you appears in your skin.
—•—
Penelope had known since she was eight years old who she would marry. She had heard stories about him, how brave and noble he was, and spent her whole life in love with the boy in the picture.
Something that had never crossed Penelope’s mind, however, was the possibility that Colin Bridgerton would be disappointed upon meeting her.
“Speak now, Penelope, with clarity and conviction. What is the word, bestowed upon you by the gentleman ordained as your match, that defines you in his eyes?”
The celebrant’s voice suddenly felt like a distant hum, her vision blurred by the tears welling up in her eyes. On her wrist, visible to anyone close enough to read it, was written her word with golden letters.
Shallow.

Eclipsed Souls by Giaele for GumihoGold
Fandoms: Bridgerton Series - Julia Quinn, Bridgerton (TV)
14 Sep 2024
Tags
Summary
The ancient Greek word ekleipsis signified abandonment, quitting, those who had been forsaken by the light.
Eclipsed souls were those whose soulmark faded away into nothingness; those whose soulmate had given up on their love; those doomed to forever yearn the missing half of their soul.
Colin Bridgerton never thought he could become one of them.

Summary
“What - what were they saying?”
Penelope glances at him sideways. His cheeks are a little flushed, that pretty mouth of his partly open. He is still staring at her.
“Um. Well. They said you were daddy material.”
The minute it comes out of her mouth she knows she should not have said it. It is so deeply, awfully inappropriate. Her cheeks burn. She is about to apologise when Colin straightens and twists his whole body towards her.
“What does that mean?” he asks. When she does not answer, he uses his stern teacher voice, the one he uses on the students. “Penelope. Tell me.”
Why does that make her melt?

Summary
Colin Bridgerton had always wanted a dog.
Not that anything about Penelope reminded him of a dog. It was just that he was thinking about how excited he was to be married to his very best friend. And, to avoid making eye contact with Benedict lest he pull a face that made Colin go red, he allowed his mind to travel a little, and… well, he arrived at dogs.
But, to be sure, Penelope Featherington did not remind Colin of a dog.Or, the one where Colin wants to take Penelope on an extended honeymoon, but Penelope keeps insisting she has to be home before the next full moon for some reason. (Werewolf!Pen AU)

Summary
After spending a year abroad, Colin Bridgerton returned during summer break and joined his family at Aubrey Hall. Whilst away, Colin realized his heart belonged to his best friend, Penelope Featherington through the many letters they exchanged during his travels. His grand plans to romance her and win her affections was going better than he could have ever imagined; that was until a summer soiree hosted by his brother brought an unwelcomed guest who threatened his family and any future happiness he had hoped for.
“What has happened?” Anthony pressed.
“I did what I had to,” it was all Colin could think to say. Anthony took Colin’s hands in his, turning them over noting the wounds spackled across his knuckles and smatters of blood that covered his skin and clothes.
“Who?” His eyes were wide and intense. It was his protective nature; Colin knew his brother would do anything for his family. He could see Anthony was already anticipating his response without even knowing the occurrence.
“Lord Anderson,” Colin breathed out, rage returning to his voice, “he had Pen…he was hurting her, I had to stop him.”
“Where?” Anthony demanded.
“The conservatory.”
“Take me,” he said sternly.
