Summary
"Penelope is not in love anymore.
No, she has been working too hard over the last eight months to rid herself of the chaos that is Colin Bridgerton to end up right where she started all of those years ago. Penelope reflects on her self-help journey with a small sense of pride - she had read books on boundaries, listened to podcasts about toxic relationships, gone to therapy, and even attended yoga classes.
Well, two yoga classes.
Even still, she is The New Penelope Featherington, and The New Penelope Featherington is not in love with Colin Bridgerton.
At least, that’s what she keeps telling herself."
OR
Penelope finds herself back in Colin's orbit when he returns to London after his travels, and despite her best efforts, she is, in fact, still desperately in love.
Based on the song "Hope Is A Heartache" by Lèon.

Summary
"Watch, Pen.”
She's mesmerised, watching them together in the mirror, almost like an out of body experience.
“You're – you're filling me,” she whimpers. “You're filling me up, where I always feel empty, where I need you, where I always need you, I –”
“Hush, pretty girl,” he soothes, “I'll always make you feel full, I told you.”
After they decide they want to try for kids, Pen becomes even more insatiable for her husband's cock, and her need to be filled with him reaches new heights.

If you wanna go to heaven, you should fuck me tonight by queenofthecon

Summary
The rug was soft and plush underneath her, swallowing her whole.
Her heart skipped beats in her chest, the soul forced from her body and remoulded by desire.
Everything burned and everything sang, her skin turned to shivers and goosebumps as she was wrenched into climax after climax, pinned and stroked and worshipped by two sets of eager hands.
She was sobbing with a broken voice now.
All Penelope could do was plead for more.

“I—” she stared up at him and said in a small voice, “it’s too much to ask of you.”
“It’s not,” Colin said firmly. “Don’t overthink it,” he urged her.
Ten minutes ago, she had no home and no chance that she would ever know where her dad was. Colin had just walked into the room and taken control of everything within a matter of minutes, like her own personal white knight.
“Just let someone take care of you for once.”
In which Colin slowly, inadvertently, and inevitably becomes Penelope’s sugar daddy.

Summary
Penelope has been in a terrible car accident. While she recovers from her injuries in the care of Violet Bridgerton, she also has to contend with the fact that she can't remember the last eighteen months of her life.
Colin flies to be by Penelope's side to help her during her recovery. He hasn't seen or spoken to her in over a year since they had a painful falling out. She's seemingly happy to see him as she doesn't remember that they are no longer speaking, and Colin is too scared to tell her the truth.
Meanwhile, Penelope has managed to heal years of trauma between herself and her mother, finally reconciling a challenging relationship into one of a truly loving mother and daughter. However, she remembers none of it and wants nothing to do with Portia, leaving her heartbroken.
As Penelope recovers with Colin's help, the two manage to form an even stronger bond, making it more difficult for him to tell her the truth, while she struggles to heal and maybe even get her memories back.

Summary
Penelope Featherington may have only just turned 32 years old, but she’s come to a very important decision in her life. She’s ready to become a mother.

While his intention in finally sitting still for a while had been to work out what his professional goals are going forward, Colin’s quickly becoming fixated on a very different kind of aspiration for himself.

Summary
“Colin!” Penelope shouts, her face lighting up with a smile that had to be a million or two watts, rivaling the brightness of the sun.
“Pen,” he says, feeling some kind of weight drop from his shoulders, replaced by her when she jumps on him. Her arms wind around his neck and instinctively, he catches her, one hand on the back of her thigh and the other pressed against her lower back.
“Fuck, I missed you,” she breathes.
It’s exactly the homecoming he’d wished for. His heart takes off in his chest. She smells like vanilla and lavender, and her whole body is warm and wrapped around him, and he wonders if maybe they could stay like this for the rest of their lives, because God, he’s missed her, too.
With his face buried in her neck, Colin murmurs, “Yeah, me, too.” Neither of them really let go, and he doesn’t want to read into it that much because—he doesn’t even know. Because he’s scared, maybe. Probably. Because he doesn't understand it and doesn’t want to. Because for all his exploration of caves and canyons, he isn’t sure he’s ready for whatever he’d find the second he reads the text of their friendship and discovers something hidden between the lines.
