Summary
Colin opens his hands for her. And she, the biggest fool the world has ever seen, takes it.
They rise and rise and rise until she is holding his cheek. Much like how he cradled her that night.
He talks of feelings and thoughts and dreams and it’s entirely devastating and amazing all at once. Her heart soars and stays in the clouds with the angels, but there are chains on her leg. There are rings around her neck. There is one on her finger.
The weight of everything crashes into her like a witless bird. She crumbles and shatters and breaks all in one tragic tale.
Poor Penelope Featherington, they would solemnly utter. Loved too late.
(or, the one where the heart and the mind will always be at odds with one another, especially when dowager countess penelope debling finds herself involved with london's notorious gentleman murderer by virtue of lady whistledown, and colin bridgerton, freshly retired from his five-year tour of gallivanting around the continent, inexplicably insists to be a part of something infinitely bigger than they.)

Summary
She doesn’t know what she’s feeling, but she’s shaking, and Eloise realises that at least some of it might be rage.
“Do not worry brother,” she says to him quickly, unable to meet his eyes. “Your secret is safe with me; though I admit Penelope is not my favourite person presently, I do not wish to see any woman ruined by the carelessness of a man.”
--
Set much later the night after the carriage scene, Eloise Bridgerton finds her brother in bed with her former best friend. -

Summary
“The coast is clear,” he whispers, giving her hand another tug. “Come.”
“Colin!” She whispers back as loudly as she dare as he ushers her in, heart pounding as he shuts the grand door soundly behind her. “Where are we going!?”
“Where do you think?” Colin leans in to murmur into her ear. His form towers over her, caging her in with the solid door at her back, and he smells so good it is all Penelope can do not to whimper as he sets his free hand on the small of her back. “I am not finished with you yet.” -

Summary
“I was so nearly devastated when you called us ‘friends’ in the carriage,” Colin murmured, moving his hand to her back to draw wistful shapes across her bare skin.
He expected her to chuckle, maybe – to tease him. Or maybe for her to gasp a breath at the still-unfamiliar sensation of being touched so familiarly. Instead, her body tensed, the plush mouth that had been barely skimming the area below his collarbone retreating from him, as if she were biting her lip.
“Penelope?” he asked, curiously, his arms tightening in response.

Colin discovers how long Penelope has loved him.

Summary
Post S3 Ep4. Penelope and Colin have been dutifully waiting out their appropriate engagement time. They've also been secretly meeting in less appropriate ways. One quiet morning in the Featherington drawing room, Penelope accidentally lets this slip.
Not what I actually think will happen in the second part of S3, but this was fun to write and just the right amount of silly!
