    Summary

    “No, I’m sorry Pen, I’ve claimed you now and I’m keeping you,” Colin declared, finally stilling his wandering hands to give her a chance to catch her breath. “Best friends forever, we’ll get matching tattoos and one of those heart necklaces that breaks in half.”

    And Colin never expected that the young debutant would capture his heart, one dance at a time.

    Summary

    Penelope Featherington has been trying to get over her crush on her best friend Colin Bridgerton for the last several years. It should be pretty easy to do considering he spends the vast majority of his time away from London and in far off corners of the world as part of his travel writing and social media enterprises. He’s never around and she only sees him a couple of times a year at most. However, it turns out her problem in being unable to get over him has nothing to do with how often she spends time with him in-person. Her problem is the telephone.

    --

    Or, the one where Penelope and Colin start having phone sex as “friends.”

    Summary

    It’s her birthday, today, now. She’s thirty years old. He’s five years older - and she remembers his birthday, in that club in Spain, very vividly too - so now they’re both at least thirty.

    And Colin is here, single. She’s single - and he’s - he -

    “Colin, what are you doing?”

    Pulling her hands against his chest, he steps closer. “Marry me.”

    -

    Or: The “if we’re not married by the time we’re both 30 we’ll marry each other” AU

    Summary

    “We’re friends. I’m happy to do you a favour.”

    She really does mean it. There is nothing Penelope wouldn’t do for Colin Bridgerton.

    But then he raises his eyebrows, clears his throat, and says, “I was wondering if you might consider letting me fuck you and pretend that I am trying to get you pregnant.” He pauses, pondering before he adds: “Please.”

    ---

    Or, after a series of increasingly unhinged sex dreams, Colin asks Penelope if he can roleplay getting her pregnant. Platonically, of course. That should get it out of his system.
