Summary
A quick exploration of his room did nothing to settle his nerves. All that remained in his armoire were clothes in the fashions of two seasons prior in cuts more suited for an Eton student than the adult Colin was supposed to be.
The mirror only worsened his state of confusion.
Back was the puppy fat of childhood on his cheeks and his body was lean, still muscular but not as broad as he was supposed to be and without as much definition that he had gained on his form.
“Did I really used to wear my hair like this?” Colin muttered, twirling a curl between two fingers as examined his reflection. A thought came to him and he tugged on a single strand until he yanked it out, feeling the sting on his scalp. “Shit!”
That had hurt. He had felt that.
“Ah, fuck.”

Summary
Magic lives in the dustiest corners of old houses, especially in mirrors where tiny dragons wink when you're not looking.
Six-year-old Penelope discovers this truth when she finds a most peculiar mirror, complete with a boy named Colin who makes terrible dragon jokes and practices with wooden swords on the other side of time.
Their friendship blooms through enchanted glass, measured in whispered promises and adventures that taste like honey-flavored starlight. But as they grow older, their hearts become impossibly entangled across centuries, and even the smallest dragon knows that some kinds of magic refuse to follow sensible rules.

"What are you doing?”
Colin's tongue was sticking out between his lips, his eyes focused. “It's hot.”
Penelope raised one eyebrow. “I know that. Why are you taking off my shirt?”

Summary
He opens his eyes and he blinks - once, twice, three times.
Perhaps, he decides, this is a dream, a byproduct of his subconsciousness, of intrusive, worrying thoughts, of swirling memories of the one person whose been stuck in his head for the past fortnight (or okay, even longer than that) because lying next to him in bed, blue eyes bright, inviting smile on her face is Penelope.
Plot twist: it's definitely not a dream.

Summary
Penelope Featherington has a boyfriend. That boyfriend is not Colin Bridgerton.
Which would be fine, really it would. Except that two weeks earlier Colin Bridgerton, in a moment of tipsy madness, kissed Penelope Featherington and it’s tilted his whole world off its axis. Now they’re both pretending it never happened and Pen has a boyfriend and Colin may in fact be going mad. Even Eloise is concerned for him.
Penelope is blissfully unaware that there's anything amiss. She's also impervious to hints or flirtations, thoroughly convinced Colin sees her only as a friend. If Colin wants her, he's going to have to lay his heart on the line in a manner so obvious even she can't explain it away.
Which he will do. Just as soon as he figures out how.

Penelope Featherington is not sick.
It doesn’t matter if her throat feels scratchy; she can email if she loses her voice.
It doesn’t matter if her head aches; she keeps a bottle of pain relievers in her purse.
It doesn’t matter if the world looks a little blurry; nobody else is in the office today, so nobody would know if she passed out! It would be like a– like a power nap!Or: Penelope Featherington is sick. Colin Bridgerton takes care of her.

Summary
The Bridgertons are all jetting off to the Scottish Highlands for Christmas and Penelope Featherington is coming with them this year. She's a close family friend and gets along famously with each and every member (young and old) with one significant exception-- the third eldest son, Colin Bridgerton. They may have been best friends as children, but now, in their mid and late twenties, they couldn't be further from friends. These days they can't even be in the same room with one another without trading verbal jabs that intensify steadily until someone literally has to pull them apart. After a lot of deliberation, though, Penelope accepts Violet's invitation despite this fact. She figures they'll be staying in a huge house and there will be a crowd of other people to distract herself with. What she can't possibly know, however, is that the storm of the century and a series of unforeseen events are going to make that house and that crowd much, much smaller.

The One Where They Hook Up At A Wedding by Lovelymagnolia
Fandoms: Bridgerton (TV), Bridgerton Series - Julia Quinn
05 Sep 2024
Tags
Summary
When Penelope woke up in a fancy hotel in Scotland, exactly three things registered in her brain, in this exact order.
1. Today was Francesca and Michaela’s wedding day
2. She was in Colin Bridgerton’s hotel room.
3. Both of them were very naked.
Fuck.
(Well, that was a word she’d certainly used last night- though it was under much more pleasurable circumstances.)
She’d really gone and done it now, hadn’t she? After all these years of pining for Colin, trying to accept that her love was unrequited, and also these last few months of pretty actively trying to get over him- she’d decided to get under him instead.
Wonderful. Fucking. Wonderful.
(And no- pun not intended.)
OR
the one where Colin and Penelope get together the same way Monica and Chandler do - by hooking up at a wedding. Featuring Benedict and Eloise being the biggest cockblocks known to man.

Summary
When her friend Genevieve suggested she... explore other options to finally end her sexual drought, Penelope only laughed at the idea. Later that night, however, she could not help but check out the cam site her friend had recommended.
Deciding she did not really have much to lose, she finally made an account and started scrolling through the page. What she saw was truly eye-opening, if not somewhat scarring.
She had almost given up for the day when she found him...
He was the most handsome man she had ever seen in her life and just the sight of him had her dripping wet. As soon as she entered a private chat and heard his voice for the very first time, Penelope knew she was done for.

Summary
Penelope didn’t like that persistent feeling, that doubt arising from deep within her and overshadowing the relief of being in her room, in her home, in a completely familiar place.
What was wrong? What was happening? Why that feeling...?
The door to the room opened with a long whisper, and a slender, delicate figure appeared in the doorway, illuminated only by the flickering candlelight. Penelope tensed. She had never liked people entering her room without knocking, and really, only her mother and sisters took that liberty in her house.
But the silhouette didn’t belong to Philippa or Prudence or her mother.
Marina.
