Unexpected Curves by ynnej2198 for m_luthien
Fandoms: Bridgerton (TV), Bridgerton Series - Julia Quinn
20 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
This story came into my head randomly and is based off of the Friends storyline of Monica and Chandler’s unexpected hook-up at Ross’ wedding to Emily and their subsequent secret relationship. What happens when Anthony and Penelope find common ground at Colin’s wedding to Marina and realize that there is more to each other than meets the eye?
This is a modern Bridgerton AU set in the United States where Anthony is a rich billionaire CEO and philanthropist and Penelope is a writer sharing an apartment with Eloise. Anthony has not met Kate (and will not meet her) and Colin is in love with Marina and completely unaware of Pen’s feelings for him.
If you are fans of the original couples and cannot picture them with other people, then DO NOT READ THIS FIC, as it is NOT for you. But, if you have an open mind, then enjoy.

Summary
This is just a very loose idea I got while doing my 50th re-watch of Bridgerton. I've played with the timeline a little bit, but this takes place at the Hastings Ball in S1E8.
Anthony sees Colin and Penelope speak after going to see Siena and having her shatter his heart, and he feels a little bad for her and has to be her sort of knight in dented armour. Shenanigans to ensue.

Summary
"She misses her son with everything in her, but she hopes that he still thinks the woman he chose over his family worth the loss of them. Marriage cannot be undone and she would rather continue suffering his absence and his silence than know him to be suffering unalterable unhappiness with an unworthy wife."
Or, a universe where the other Bridgertons don't react so well when they learn the truth about Lady Whistledown and everything that means for Colin, Penelope, and the entire family. Post-S2 AU.

Summary
Set shortly after the end of Season 2 (before the epilogue)
When Penelope rejects Colin's offer of a dance, he does not understand what he can have done to upset her. As he attempts to make it up to her, it is clear Pen is only interested in reconciling with Eloise.
When Colin chases the two girls into a lightning storm, he did not expect a strike of lightning to take their troubles into the year 2022.
Together, they must work with a female scientist called Ava to find their way back home. But while Colin flounders in the future world, he is only too aware how well Penelope and Eloise are thriving.

Summary
Following the season of 1813 precisely four letters are exchanged between Anthony Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington. Following the season of 1814 a further twenty-three letters are exchanged.
By the time the season of 1815 rolls around and the two have struck up a rather peculiar friendship born of mutual understanding and shared humour. Out of shared camaraderie, both are determined to support the other as best they can through the pains of the season, neither one of them thinking of marriage this time round.
But with two matchmaking mothers, and a sister hell-bent on making Penelope a Bridgerton, well, best laid plans and all that….

Summary
Just a fortnight after the Featherington Ball, Penelope sits lonely on one of the swings in the Bridgerton family’s garden, watching on as festivities take place for the announcement of the Viscount’s engagement to Miss. Kate Sharma.
Penelope still reeling from the aftermath of Eloise ending their friendship and Colin’s hurtful words shattering her heart, went out to the garden to find solace in the luminescence of the moonlight.
Fate brought her something else entirely, as Benedict Bridgerton made his way out of the ball and stumbled into not only the garden, but also into Penelope Featherington’s heart.
** I'm bad at summaries. Penelope x Benedict endgame/HEA.

Summary
Following the season 2 finale in which Colin declares he would never dream of courting Penelope and Eloise discovers Pen's LW secret.
This is my idea for how a Polin-centered Season 3 could work, adapting the book as much as possible. Expect both very romantic Colin, self-denying Penelope, and supportive Bridgertons. If you're here for smut, proceed to chapters 13 and 16 (although chapter 9 dips its toes in the smut waters, somewhat, too). Enjoy!
(Just a head's up - I wrote this before the Season 3 synopsis was released, so you won't see any Colin teaching Penelope confidence in this one)- Language:

EDIT: Finally done
Hotch didn't bond at the usual age, never got summoned. Somewhere in the back of his mind he always knew bonding was a possibility, but after so many years of being by himself, it started to seem like less and less likely. He preferred it that way, being unmated.
That's why it came as a shock and a nuisance when he got his letter in the mail at the age of thirty-seven saying the Council found his mate. Just great.

Summary
As an Omega, Spencer only ever wanted two things: to learn and to make a family. If he hadn’t run into Gideon, he may have gotten his wish so much sooner, been so much happier. On the other hand, he would have never met one of the most respected, feared, and secretly sugary-sweet Alphas in all of DC. But is it too late for Hotch to give him the family he’s always wanted?
Finally finished!
