Summary
Penelope wants to blame everyone else. Edwina, for hyping her up. The Bridgertons, for treating her like a real in-law when she was just a stand in. Taylor Swift, for making her look for clues that were probably never there.
Still, Penelope soldiers on. She traces her lips with her favourite liner before throwing on a red lipstick in a vain attempt to feel strong.
Fake it ‘till you make it. That’s what Portia taught her, maybe the only useful thing Porta ever taught her.
-
Penelope is certain that Colin, who has been her friend with benefits for the last two years, is on a date.
So what is he doing waiting for her at Bridgerton House?

Summary
"Pen and Alfie are having their third date on Friday night!" Hyacinth explained with the kind of giddy smile only a teenage girl could credibly muster, while simultaneously leaning over the table and attempting to steal Eloise’s wine glass. Penelope, meanwhile, looked directly up at the ceiling, mortified that once again the entire table was weighing in on her love life. Could she not have any peace?
"Hmmm." Colin pretended to consider the point, but he was mostly trying to stop his lip from curling. He did not like Alfie Debling. What kind of stupid name was that anyway? What grown man went by “Alfie”? He sounded like someone’s pet dachshund. “Ooo Alfie come here for belly rubs”, “Don’t shit on the rug, Alfie”.
*****
Colin Bridgerton finds himself in the unenviable position of having offered to help Penelope Featherington cook a seduction dinner for her plant-loving paramour. It just happens to be the same dinner that was prepared for Colin before he lost his virginity, and it is bringing back regrets and all kinds of feelings for his best friend that he thought he had buried away for good.

Summary
An ancient marriage pact forces Colin Atherley, newly made Duke of Austinborough, to marry Penelope Featherington—the quiet girl he once knew as a child and has long since forgotten.
To Colin, the marriage is little more than an inconvenient obligation. Within a day he leaves for London and his medical studies, abandoning his new bride at Everthorne.
But five years is a long time.
When Colin finally returns home, he expects to find the same timid girl he left behind.
Instead he finds a woman who has rebuilt his estate, earned the loyalty of the village, and learned how to live perfectly well without him.
The more Colin learns about his wife, the more unsettling a realization becomes:
Perhaps he was never the only one wounded by their marriage. And perhaps the quiet girl he overlooked has been the most extraordinary woman in his life all along.

It's Just Sex by unsavorablefavors

07 Mar 2024
Tags
Summary
“Hey,” Colin said sheepishly, anxiously brushing his hand behind his neck. “I’ll take your virginity if — you know — if you want me to.”
Platonic sex, sex between friends, friends having platonic sex.
It won’t be a problem, right?
Or the classic: ‘I’ll take your virginity but don’t fall in love with me” finds everything they’re looking for in a person who ‘just wants to get over with having sex for the first time so they can get over the mental hurdle and start dating around.”

Summary
When Penelope Featherington finds herself still unmarried at the ripe old age of five and twenty, she is forced to become a governess for a wealthy little girl. Unfortunately, working as a governess affords a woman much fewer freedoms than Penelope is used to, meaning she has no control over the situation when her job brings her uncomfortably close to her ex-fiancé Colin.
Or, a Jane Eyre Au.

I just wanted to write some fluffy fluff. It hasn't troubled the desks of my usual Beta readers, and the formatting is iffy!
Please read 'Since yesterday' first, also in this series. It's probably fine without, but definitely much more fun with.
Hope you find it fun though,

Summary
Penelope Featherington has been quietly in love with Colin Bridgerton for nine years. She's written it all down—every small moment, every unreturned feeling—in a document meant for her eyes only. Colin, meanwhile, has spent those same years being charming and oblivious.
Then Colin calls off his wedding and accidentally discovers what Penelope's been hiding. Suddenly, he can't stop thinking about the woman he never noticed. He wants to know her—really know her. And Penelope has no idea why he's finally paying attention.
As friendship turns into something more, Colin faces an impossible problem: he's falling for her, but she doesn't know how he learned to see her. The truth might destroy everything. But the lies might be worse.
