    Summary

    Penelope Featherington may have only just turned 32 years old, but she’s come to a very important decision in her life. She’s ready to become a mother. She’s got a career that she’s passionate about and is completely financially independent and secure. All that’s missing is the man, but she’s done waiting on love. It’s time for Penelope to take matters into her own hands and do what she’s always done in her life—make her own dreams come true.

    Colin Bridgerton, one of her best friends, is entering a bit of a hiatus from his jet-setting career as a travel photographer. He’ll be permanently in place in London for the foreseeable future while, at 35 years old, he tries to figure out what he wants to do with his life. While his intention in finally sitting still for a while had been to work out what his professional goals are going forward, Colin’s quickly becoming fixated on a very different kind of aspiration for himself.

    --

    Or, the one where Penelope and Colin decide to make a baby “as friends.”

    Summary

    For the better part of the last decade, Colin has been relentlessly travelling but he's returned home to spend time with his family and to support his recently widowed sister, Francesca. Amidst grief and tense family gatherings, she turns to him for a distraction, nudging him towards an old flame.

    Enter Penelope Featherington, once his dearest friend— the one he left behind with two rings in her pocket. Colin’s wish to start over evolves into an accidental plan to ease Francesca’s worries as they pretend to have rekindled their connection. To his surprise, the act brings his family closer than they’ve been in years.

    But Penelope has a secret—and a family—of her own.

    Or. A modern exes to lovers AU, with a side of fake relationship, among other things.

    Summary

    “Were you ever punished as a child?” Penelope giggled while Colin held her close swaying in the church. He looked down at her hand in his, his fingers playfully moving them around so he could press her hand to his heart.

    His lips pressed together in a sly smile, lowering his head towards her adorably bright face gleaning up at him.

    “I’ll have you know, Miss Featherington, that I was never so naughty I required punishment.” She raised her brows at his statement and wrinkled her nose playfully.

    “I do not believe you,” she teased, squeezing his fingers between her own.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    There is no way Pen and Colin had one romp on a chaise lounge then nothing till after the Butterfly ball. So I have written some missing scenes that were left to our imagination.

    Starting after their first time and ending around where the show concludes, I’ve written some fillers for what could have been without all the side plots. Each chapter is chronological and can be read on its own or in order, as long as you watched part 2 of S3, you can follow this story. I’m not changing what was given to us or the events of S3, only adding some scenes in between. All Polin of course.

    Summary

    It’s been six years since Penelope Featherington last spoke to Colin Bridgerton, their friendship ending over an argument they had at his sister’s engagement party before he left to travel abroad.

    After she thought she finally got over it—over him and moved on with her life, she gets a job offer at a travel magazine company as an assistant—only to discover that the man she’s been trying so hard to get over the last six years is now her new boss.

    And to think, she really needed this job...
