Summary
'Come on,' Colin said. 'I ought to get you to bed.'
Penelope released his arms, putting a hand over her heaving bosom. 'Mr. Bridgerton— I am far too intoxicated for that kind of talk.’
***
OR
Penelope drinks too much at Kate and Anthony’s first ball of the season and makes a confession Colin never saw coming.
But that’s not the only surprise of the night. Penelope and Colin’s drunken antics have attracted the attention of a few other members of the Ton, leading society to draw their own conclusions about what could possibly be going on between the pair.

A Little More Convincing by Apeygirl

Summary
“Honestly, Colin. I think we’ve had enough of this silliness. You don’t want to marry me.”
“Dash it all, Penelope, I’ve just said I—”
“Have you even considered that I don’t want to marry you?”
He reared back, the look of shock on his face almost comical.What if Penelope refused Colin's proposal after the carriage incident?
What if Penelope stood firm in her refusal and Colin had to work a little bit harder for that "yes"?(An alternate take going from the end of Chapter 13 of Romancing Mr. Bridgerton. Book Canon with a few show shout-outs.)
ETA: As some of you may have noticed, I've changed the rating from M to E. I just can't help it. There's some spicy stuff coming (something the book was sorely lacking in) and I wanted it to be just wee bit spicier than what I consider M to be (though I know such things are usually subjective).

Romancing Mayhem by Crizzadile for Panalegs27
Fandoms: Bridgerton Series - Julia Quinn, Bridgerton (TV)
26 Dec 2021
Tags
Summary
After a rocky start, Michael and Pen become friends much to the chagrin of two of the Bridgertons. Together, they cause all sorts of mayhem. One dance was all it took to rustle the hidden feelings and baffle the minds of a charming Bridgerton and a quiet Bridgerton.
RMB + WHWW Cross-Over- Set after Penelope asked Colin to kiss her in (RMB), and set after Michael comes back from India (WHWW)
TL;DR: Basically Pen and Michael become friends, they would make the best of friends (or lovers!), and Francesca and Colin aren’t having it.
[Completed with epilogue of letters]

Summary
2022 - Colin and Penelope share travel, drafts of their writing projects, a London flat, and a bed. Their relationship is perfect, just the way it is. He thinks, anyway. So when Pen tells him everything is about to change, his initial reaction…isn’t great.
1815 - Colin’s relationship with Penelope was perfectly fine. Until she overheard some truly unkind words he uttered to some gentlemen in attendance at the Featherington Ball. Now he fears he’s ruined the most important friendship he’s ever had.
Neither Colin is thrilled with his circumstance at the moment, but it’s about to get a lot worse. Modern Colin is about to wake up in Regency Colin’s time and place, and vice versa. Let’s see how they do trying to clean up each other’s messes… Or will they somehow manage to make everything worse?

Enter Colin, who has a suggestion or two.

Summary
'My husband used to write me long love letters as well.'
Colin flinched, the pen slipping from his hand at the sound of her voice. The housekeeper stood over him, holding onto a silver tray.
‘I beg your pardon?’ he said.
***
OR:
Although Colin sends letters like clockwork, he receives no reply from his friend, Penelope Featherington.
Is this what it feels like to lose one's mind?

Summary
Just because People has resolved herself to a lifetime of spinsterhood in the Featherington household, does not mean she needs no opportunity to occasionally escape.
She had not anticipated one such escape coming in the form of a sick Colin Bridgerton, just back from travelling and requesting her assistance at Number Five while the rest of the Bridgertons are at Aubrey Hall. Nor had she anticipated just how difficult it would be to prevent herself from getting swept back up into the orbit of the man she's always loved.
If she can ignore her heart while she takes care of him, she’ll be a far stronger woman for it.

Summary
If he took even one wrong step with Pen and got her into that place in his life, he would ruin it and that was simply not worth it. This was what he had decided for himself. The role she played in his life. He loved her and she was precious and he would never touch her because everything he touched turned to fucking dust in his hands in the end.
Only… only for the longest time, he had not thought about this at all. He had simply once decided on it firmly and then the rest had been passing thoughts and fleeting half-boners. Yet now he thought of nothing else. It was her fault. If she hadn’t brought up having a baby with him, he wouldn’t be in this state now, he knew it.
***
Modern-AU. * Colin POV. * Pen asks if her good friend Colin could help her conceive a no-strings-attached baby... but life has other plans.

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:
