    Summary

    Penelope's third season out doesn't start out so well, but things do take a turn for the better.

    Pen likes social games generally and what's not to love about hide-and-seek in a sprawling castle. A secret door behind a wall-mounted banner proves the best hideaway, especially if it comes with its own Bridgerton companion.

    Summary

    Penelope wakes up the morning after the worst night of her life and breathes in. 

    It’s a bit shocking, that she can still breathe in, that she’s still here despite what feels like a gaping wound in the center of her chest. Somehow, she’s surviving.

    Summary

    From the moment of their accidental meeting as young children through the trauma of hurt and loss, the heartbreak of adolescence, and the confusion of young adulthood, Colin and Penelope's connection anchors them both.

    This story aims for hurt and comfort in equal measure as it follows the "platonic best friends" (really, though?) as they grow up, with time jumps between each chapter as we see them navigate their lives together. Their story is one of true friends to lovers, where lines blur and it's hard to see where friendship ends and love begins, because perhaps they've been together all along.

    *CW: This is NOT a dark fic, but does contain mature themes, specifically a child abuse storyline.*

    It started with a wrong number, a late night drunken text between strangers and now, it's so much more. Join us as we dive into the first year of our favourite gamal lovers relationship.

    Summary

    “I didn’t want anyone to know me, but, then…”

    His head tilts to the side and runs his hand through his hair. There’s a tightness in his stomach and chest making it harder to breathe. Side effects of being around the magnificent her, he supposes.

    “Then… what?” She prompts softly, confusion evident in her voice.

    They are frozen in time.
     
    Don’t tell me you do not know…

    “Then, you.”

    Summary

    “It’s not as though you are in love with Penelope,” Eloise says.

    She catches the tiny change in Colin's expression: a barely there wince. It takes her a moment to grasp the implications of it.

    Oh,” she whispers.

    “It’s not as if you would actually wish for Colin to court you, so his words from last season need not signify,” Eloise says.

    Penelope cringes.

    Oh,” Eloise says. Again.

    In which Penelope resolves to keep her friendship with Colin perfectly proper, Colin attempts to truly know Penelope, and Eloise knows everything.

    Summary

    Sometimes she wonders what people would say if they knew that Penelope Featherington was Colin Bridgerton's booty call. Felicity would probably spin it into some grand adventure, casting Penelope as the lonely figure stood on some moonlight shore as she waited for her lover to return. Eloise would undoubtedly be violently sick and then call her an idiot... and Penelope, well Penelope could hardly believe it herself.

    It has to stop though.

    It has to.

    Summary

    Penelope Featherington's soulmate hated her. She was alright with that. She hated him just as much. The only reason for their bond to exist was to bring each other pain.
    Colin Bridgerton's soulmate gave up on him years ago. He was not worthy of love and patience that their bond required. He learned to accept that and move on with his life.
    When two broken souls are brought together, Penelope and Colin find hope. Neither one of them can be with their soulmate, but maybe they can build something remarkable together. If they manage to let go of the pain, maybe they could even let themselves fall in love.

    Summary

    Penelope Featherington has been trying to get over her crush on her best friend Colin Bridgerton for the last several years. It should be pretty easy to do considering he spends the vast majority of his time away from London and in far off corners of the world as part of his travel writing and social media enterprises. He’s never around and she only sees him a couple of times a year at most. However, it turns out her problem in being unable to get over him has nothing to do with how often she spends time with him in-person. Her problem is the telephone.

    --

    Or, the one where Penelope and Colin start having phone sex as “friends.”

    Summary

    It was bloody inconvenient to realize you were in love with your friend when you were on another continent, stuck in a work contract for 8 months. It was the ultimate irony, Colin supposed, to have been in each other’s lives since childhood, had easy access to each other, only to start dating when they could barely even facetime. And now, having a romantic reunion to remember was remarkably more challenging surrounded by his family who did not know they were dating. But all he wanted for Christmas was Penelope, and he would do anything he could to make it count.

    Summary

    When Colin learns that Pen's lack of time for a relationship hasn't dimmed her need for sex, he offers up his cock to spare her from the purported dangers of booty calls. Who knows, maybe he can convince her to want more. Specifically, with him. He'll at least have a grand time trying.

    Pen has missed out on too much in life because of her blasted unrequited love for Colin. Realising that the only way to be rid of him is to let him break her heart, she decides to stop holding back and freefall into love. And onto his cock. A few orgasms will help hasten her towards her goal, after all.

    Swirling sex into friendship poses complications; and between assumptions, equivocations, and a complete inability to ask for what they want, Colin and Penelope find that there is nothing little about 'a little sex between friends.'

    Summary

    He’d been enjoying his time in Thailand but home, with its graveyard of brownery and Penelope (Penelope), inspired Colin to cut his trip short by a week. Besides, he had to know if Lady Whistledown, the lady palm proven impossible to kill, had finally received comeuppance for her addiction to talking shit.

    Mostly, though, he was resolved.

    Colin didn’t want to dance around this anymore. He ascribed to Harry Burns’ school of thought on romance and every moment spent trying to feign indifference felt like a waste. He was going home, and he was going to make her witness what she did to him. No more pretending.

    “Penelope Anne Featherington,” he says, turning to her with hands on his hips, expression gleeful. “Did you break the bed?”
    She does her best impression of a dog who’s ripped all the down from a pillow. He can’t prove anything.
    “I did,” she says.
    Damn. There’s always been a disconnect between her mouth and her brain.

    Penelope's bed breaks. Of course it's Colin who finds her.

    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.
