Water, Sunlight, Talking All Night (Just Enough to Grow It) by headphonesbaby

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.

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.

hello, darling by abvj, lilacsandpoppys

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.

Summary
“But you can’t go alone,” she added, her gaze meeting his with quiet conviction.
Colin’s lips quirked. “You sound as though you’re volunteering.”
Penelope’s smile was faint, but her eyes gleamed with the same spark he had always known; when she found a story, when she had uncovered some hidden truth others missed.
“Someone has to keep you from getting trampled in traffic.”
OR
A year after his disappearance, and the Brazilian government’s eventual declaration of his death, Colin and Penelope journey into the same jungle where Edmund Bridgerton vanished, seeking answers. But as they brave the wild together, they find that the greatest discovery is not what lies hidden in the jungle, but within their hearts.

Summary
“No.”
The word spins from her lips before she can stop it, and when it is out the world seems to tilt upon its access, everything built anew around her. For she realises then that this is what she needs – this is the proof – this is his desire for her stamped and torn and bitten into her body where she cannot mistake it for anything else. Here it is: incontrovertible; undeniable. For him to want her like this – to the point of madness, beyond reason, to the point of such wickedness – a wickedness she would never want in earnest, of course, and a wickedness her sweet, loving husband would never enact upon her.
And yet – this is a game. Both of them have slipped into new skins – him the debauched rake, her the innocent debutante. Wolf and lamb; he bears his teeth, and she shows him her soft belly. Tonight they wear these new clothes; tomorrow they shall shed them, and be Colin and Pen once more.

Summary
Penelope Featherington has spent most of her life quietly fading into the background—curvy, clever, and convinced she’s unremarkable next to the people who shine. But when a chance encounter leads her to a burlesque class, everything begins to change. Confidence doesn’t come easy—but maybe desire, self-worth, and a little glitter might show her the way.
She never expected anyone to notice.
Least of all him.
