Summary
The Bridgerton women gift Penelope a boudoir photoshoot session. When it's time to see the results, what happens when Colin accidentally sneaks a peak? Chaos, predictably, and the line between friends and lovers will definitely be crossed...
Very predictable fluff/HEA, some smut, and lots of ooey, gooey emotions. Not so much plot. One-shot.

Summary
They’ve been having this same conversation for the past decade. Ever since Penelope was first invited to join the Bridgerton family tradition of a Christmas holiday at Aubrey Hall.
Penelope endures a conversation with Portia. Luckily, she has Violet and Colin to help her pick up the pieces.
Modern AU. One-shot. Kinda angsty but we soothe that with fluff.

Summary
He’s in Zagreb, scouting out Christmas markets, when he gets a call from Anthony. Dread fills his chest. An unscheduled call from Anthony is never a good thing.
His oldest brother’s voice is curt. “They think Benedict had a stroke. He’s in for a scan now.”
*
In which Colin is faced with a family crisis just as he's figuring out his life.
A bit of Colin reflection, hurt/comfort, Bridgertons being Bridgertons, and of course Colin/Penelope all the way. CW for medical crisis and reference to past character death (Edmund.)

Summary
Penelope gets stood up for a date. Colin decides that it's the right time to tell her how he really feels. Eloise is reluctantly involved and seriously grossed out.
Will Colin be able to communicate his feelings in a non-chaotic way? (Unlikely.) Will Penelope be thrown into utter emotional confusion by her idiot best friend? (Signs point to yes.) Will these crazy kids finally figure it out? (For sure!)

Summary
Truthfully, Colin would have loved to give Agatha a little sister but there was one tiny, minuscule complication.
A very, very small one really.
(It was not, in fact, small.)
He and Penelope weren’t married. They weren’t even a couple. They had never been in that type of relationship.
Or the one where Agatha Bridgerton won't stop asking her unmarried parents for a baby sister.

It Does Not Signify by Mariequitecontrarie for alcft

Summary
Colin can’t help but catch Anthony’s dismissive words: “They’ve danced a couple of times together at a ball. Colin has done the same with Penelope Featherington. It does not signify.”
He does not care at all for the way those words make him feel.
A Season 1 “what if” AU.

Summary
She is twenty-six, theoretically in her sexual prime, and her body has apparently filed for early retirement.
Penelope spilled her predicament to Kate and Eloise during a girls’ night weeks ago, after one too many very dirty martinis. Kate, in her very Kate way, raised an eyebrow and said, “Romance yourself, darling. Stop acting as though pleasure is a charity case.” Eloise had simply waved her hand and declared, “Invest in a proper toy, don’t be a martyr. You deserve it. Now go forth and conquer.”
So here she is, conquering.
All Penelope wanted was an orgasm, not an existential crisis.
OR: the one where our girl discovers an erotica app with a familiar voice.
