    Summary

    “Let us get through this wedding,” Colin said, his voice clipped as he brought his hands together in front of him. “And then we will decide what this marriage will be.”

    “There is no need.”

    Colin’s head snaps in her direction, confusion starting to take form on his features as she meets him with a searing gaze. She had already decided. She was not going through this wedding. Not if it meant being married to a man who could even think that she would entrap him, a man who hated her so much he could not look at her.

    “Mama, Lady Bridgerton.”

    The two matriarchs looked in her direction, alarm and confusion etched all over their features as well when they saw Colin’s expression.

    “There is no need to discuss the wedding breakfast. I have decided to break off my engagement to Mr. Bridgerton.”

    Or the one where Penelope Featherington does not marry Colin Bridgerton after he accused her of entrapping him into marriage. What happens between the time she shoves the engagement ring back against his chest, to when they finally meet each other for the first time in three years?

    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.

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

    Summary

    27 year old, aspiring writer Penelope Featherington is looking for a new job — recently evicted from her flat and now staying at her best friend's house until she can figure out what to do next — Penelope decides she just needs something over the summer so she can save money. After a lot of failed job interviews, she ends up working for her best friend's older brother as a live-in nanny. What she didn’t anticipate was his grumpy attitude, cold demeanor, his lack of enthusiasm for his own work, and the fact that he can't seem to stop looking at her.

    39 year old, single dad Colin Bridgerton is a father by day and a writer by night. His job getting more demanding and stressful because of the highly anticipated next installment of his book series, he decides that he needs a little help balancing his home and work life so he agrees to hire his sister’s friend Penelope Featherington as his live-in nanny. It was supposed to be a good opportunity for him to get the help he needed, to be able to fix his schedule, to get on track, but what he didn’t expect was the torture it was to want to kiss her every time she opened her smart mouth.

    Summary

    What if Penelope hadn't been saved by Debling? What if the balloon hit her square in the chest? This is an injury/recovery fic that turns into Polin HEA. Basically, a what-if for the rest of the season after canon divergence at the balloon scene.

    I just felt like the balloon scene could be a little more dramatic . . .

    Summary

    Penelope Bridgerton is left alone in her marital home, feeling lonely and lost when she has an unexpected revelation. She discovers that she is with child, two days after she sent the queen and her mother in law letters of being Lady Whistledown. She couldn't tell Colin, not after he still remained distanced from her, even after she poured her heart out to him and begged him to love her. Penelope decided she would flee Mayfair for the sake and the happiness of her child.
    Will Colin be able to stop her from going when he finds out she is missing?

    This story starts in season 3 episode 8 after Francesca’s wedding, before the Butterfly Ball. As per the conversation between Polin at the Butterfly ball, it seems Colin was not staying with Pen in their house and she was all alone or they were apart even while being in the same house, it was not clear. I felt as though he had to be with her at such a time as a support and this is when Pen starts realising how lonely she is in this marriage. Here he is not staying with her.

    Summary

    *I will be finishing this fic, but I've been having a massive writer's block with this story for quite some time now. I will try to end it before the end of the year, please be patient with me.*

    What if Penelope reacted differently when Colin accused her of trapping him?

    Penelope ran away from the Ton giving Colin what she thinks he desperately wants, his freedom. She loves him too much to allow him to be trapped in a loveless marriage with her.
    Colin never expected to lose Penelope, his anger towards her pushed her to the point of leaving him promising he would never have to see her again.

    Thanks to the money she made as Lady Whisteldown, she managed to flee to Greece passing as a young widow with the name of Anne Bridges. She is set to be a single mother and raise her child away from a society that never cared for her and from a father who would think the child is only a product of her "plan entrapment".

    Thanks to the help of his brothers, Colin will do even the impossible to get his Pen back.

    Summary

    She told him to be quiet, and she told him to be still, but he can feel every curve of her body and it’s driving him mad, and her perfume is making him dizzy, and his chest hurts, and his throat burns, and he just needs to say it

    “Please don’t marry him,” he whispers, “it will kill me if you marry him."

    OR five times Colin tries to sabotage Penelope’s proposal, and the one time it works.

    “Hey,” Colin said sheepishly, anxiously brushing his hand behind his neck. “I’ll take your virginity if — you know — if you want me to.”

    Platonic sex, sex between friends, friends having platonic sex.

    It won’t be a problem, right?

     

    Or the classic: ‘I’ll take your virginity but don’t fall in love with me” finds everything they’re looking for in a person who ‘just wants to get over with having sex for the first time so they can get over the mental hurdle and start dating around.”
