Summary
"It’s been so long that I don’t even know how to start… It would be different if I could talk to her face to face, but I can’t just catch a plane and knock on her door. Besides, she must be different now, you’ve seen how confident and gorgeous she looked, she’s famous, she has a boyfriend… I’m just the guy who betrayed her trust.”
OR
Five years after Colin and Penelope had a falling out, she's back in London for work. Their lives have changed drastically during that time, but Colin is determined to get her back as the dear friend she once was or, ideally, -now that he's finally realised the extent of his feelings for her- something more.
So much more.

Summary
“Colin!” Penelope shouts, her face lighting up with a smile that had to be a million or two watts, rivaling the brightness of the sun.
“Pen,” he says, feeling some kind of weight drop from his shoulders, replaced by her when she jumps on him. Her arms wind around his neck and instinctively, he catches her, one hand on the back of her thigh and the other pressed against her lower back.
“Fuck, I missed you,” she breathes.
It’s exactly the homecoming he’d wished for. His heart takes off in his chest. She smells like vanilla and lavender, and her whole body is warm and wrapped around him, and he wonders if maybe they could stay like this for the rest of their lives, because God, he’s missed her, too.
With his face buried in her neck, Colin murmurs, “Yeah, me, too.” Neither of them really let go, and he doesn’t want to read into it that much because—he doesn’t even know. Because he’s scared, maybe. Probably. Because he doesn't understand it and doesn’t want to. Because for all his exploration of caves and canyons, he isn’t sure he’s ready for whatever he’d find the second he reads the text of their friendship and discovers something hidden between the lines.

Summary
Sometimes she wonders what people would say if they knew that Penelope Featherington was Colin Bridgerton's booty call. Felicity would probably spin it into some grand adventure, casting Penelope as the lonely figure stood on some moonlight shore as she waited for her lover to return. Eloise would undoubtedly be violently sick and then call her an idiot... and Penelope, well Penelope could hardly believe it herself.
It has to stop though.
It has to.

Summary
"She misses her son with everything in her, but she hopes that he still thinks the woman he chose over his family worth the loss of them. Marriage cannot be undone and she would rather continue suffering his absence and his silence than know him to be suffering unalterable unhappiness with an unworthy wife."
Or, a universe where the other Bridgertons don't react so well when they learn the truth about Lady Whistledown and everything that means for Colin, Penelope, and the entire family. Post-S2 AU.

Summary
Colin Bridgerton is expecting to have a relaxing holiday at Aubrey Hall with his family. There's just one variable he's not anticipating: he keeps stumbling upon Penelope Featherington in various states of undress.
Penelope doesn't know why fate is conspiring against her to have Colin see her naked, but she has bigger things to worry about. Namely, how she is going to hide her feelings from Colin when they're becoming closer friends every day.
After years of knowing each other, maybe they can finally strip down and see each other bare.

Summary
Penelope knows him. She knows herself.
And it's been years since she has seen him in the flesh while he's been single, and fear is swirling in her gut. Fear that the flame of her childhood crush may have been dulled by a string of nameless women ending in Marina, but has not been entirely stamped out. In fact, his engagement ending might just throw gasoline on it.
Still, she supposes, she'll have to find out the state of things soon enough. It's only sensible.
***
Colin returns to London after breaking his engagement to Marina. Penelope just wishes she knew why.

Summary
Colin Bridgerton had it all: a beautiful wife, four beautiful children, and a fulfilling career.
Saying he’s content is an understatement; he loves this life.
That is until he’s yanked from this reality and finds himself in the hospital, awakening from a coma.
It turns out he is not married and never has been. Penelope’s just his friend, his children don’t exist, and his perfect job is merely a pipe dream.
On a journey of rehabilitation, self-discovery, and grief, Colin must come to terms with the life he has and build it into the one that he dreamed of.
…trying to convince the girl he’s known as his wife of their wonderful life together shouldn’t be too tricky, right?

Summary
Penelope is, has always been, well…beautiful. Just…objectively and scientifically speaking. It’s obviously something Colin's had to ruthlessly compartmentalize as they’ve built such a deep friendship over the years, because those kinds of thoughts are a slippery slope and Pen is simply too important to him to ogle her like a horny buffoon, like some kind of disgusting man. But none of that changes the fact that she’s…well. Kind of perfect, really. Like, those…and her…whew. Just…her things. All the things.
Objectively speaking, of course.
Or: The life and times of Colin Bridgerton—struggling travel writer, existential crisis-haver, nepo baby, and...Penelope's wingman? Oh boy.

Summary
Penelope Featherington hadn't meant for anyone to see the hastily scribbled note where she listed her desired requirements of a husband. When she accidentally leaves the note in a flower bed outside the modiste, she is frantic to recover it the next day. Luckily, she finds it ... only to discover someone has replied.
Meanwhile, Colin Bridgerton is apathetic about the prospects of another marriage mart season in the ton; but when he discovers an intriguing note dropped by an anonymous, clever gentlewoman, the idea of replying to her suddenly breathes a bit more excitement into his life.

Summary
When Colin Bridgerton returns to London for a social media sabbatical, Penelope suggests that he crash with her for the duration, however long it might be. Sure, she's been in love with him forever, and sure she has a full-time job, and sure she's a secret romance writer and nobody knows it, but she's really good at hiding things, so it should be fine, right? But when she also suggests that he work with her publisher, all of the secrets she's been so carefully tending start creeping into the light.

Summary
“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.”

Summary
Penelope Featherington is officially over Colin Bridgerton.
Deservedly so. She’d worked tirelessly over the last twelve months to move on from him. She’d listened to Lizzo on repeat, read every self-help book under the sun, been to therapy, and even changed the plot of her novel from a coming-of-age romance to a zombie thriller in a world devoid of men. In fact, she was seeing someone, not exclusively, but it was certainly heading in that direction. She’d done everything in her power to move on from her stupid, heart-wrenching, soul-destroying crush. Everything short of having a lobotomy.
Which was why it was a tad concerning that she’d just shagged him.
