Summary
As illogical as it is, the whole thing is Justin Timberlake’s fault.
Wherein these two idiots watch the movie Friends with Benefits, discuss the merits (and lack thereof) of such a thing, and then decide, like the dummies they are, to maybe, possibly... give it a go?
It goes about as well as one could expect.

Summary
Penelope Featherington was having a terrible night, no thanks to her mother Portia, and hit up her plug, Genevieve, so she could smoke and relax. She’d been due for a quiet night in, and was looking forward to it, but then her plug responded that she had ran out. Penelope groaned, accepting that this was how her night would be. Little did she know that things were just about to turn around for the better in ways she never could’ve imagined.

Summary
Penelope Featherington was sure she was going insane. She definitely was. It was a kind of insane that would make you laugh at yourself, while questioning your life choice. Because she never thought that her greatest joy in life would be a cardboard box. Or, more specifically, a tall, sturdy man in white shirt and black trousers carrying said box that should have come with some kind of a warning label. Caution: may cause heart palpitations, dizziness, fainting spells, wet underwear, and a weird desire to order more stuff you definitely do not need for crying out loud!!!
Or: Penelope Featherington has a major crush on her delivery guy (who's the main character in her fantasies while she masturbates) fighting with herself not to jump his bones every time she sees him. But when he looks so hot, she doesn't stand a chance, does she?

Summary
Penelope stood in his doorway, biting her bottom lip and peering up at him hesitantly, drenched from head to toe, dripping water all over his ‘A Silly Goose Lives Here’ doormat (something Hyacinth had gifted him when she was six years old—she had him pegged from a very young age).
He hadn’t seen Penelope in weeks—twenty-two days, five hours and…six…minutes to be exact—not that he was counting. The memory of the last time he’d seen her popped up into his mind without permission—her frantically whispered apologies hitting his ears, even as his lips still tingled from the warmth of hers, as she ran from his life, taking his shattered heart with her.
“Colin…” She was twisting her hands together nervously. “I’m sorry to bother you like this…” Her voice was shaky, and she glanced down and took a breath, seemingly to compose her nerves. “I just…”
“Are you okay?” Colin couldn’t help but ask. No matter how angry or hurt he was, he still cared for her deeply, and he could not hide his concern at seeing her show up on his doorstep in this state.

Summary
What if, after enduring more pain than she could ever imagine, Penelope finally gave in and told Colin how she felt?
---
“You don’t have to say anything. I get it.”
Penelope took three steps and felt a hand on her wrist. Colin grabbed her arm, pulling firmly, and spinning her around. His hand cradled her face as he bent down to kiss her, breathing her in as his lips covered hers.
That’s all it took for Penelope’s brain to short circuit. Colin was kissing her. It was soft and gentle, but sent sparks to all of her limbs. Her body turned into gelatin.
When they broke apart, she placed her hands on his chest, feeling the thud of his heartbeat underneath his shirt. His hand remained cradling her cheek.
“Why did you do that?” she asked quietly, her heart in her throat.
“I don’t know,” he breathed. He looked so young and scared suddenly. “I just felt like I should.”

Summary
The night Penelope is asked the most important question of her life, she is wearing a hot pink feather boa. With sparkles, and a sparkly pink penis tiara to match. Naturally.
The question is not will you marry me, which should have been the most important question of her life (a fact of which she is perfectly aware, thank you very much). It is not do you, Penelope Featherington, take Alfred Debling to be your lawfully wedded husband, because she has a few days left before their officiant asks her that particular question.
“I’m sorry,” Penelope says. “What did you say?”
She’d heard him, but she’s drunk in a hot pink feather boa and a penis crown and surely Colin Bridgerton cannot be asking her about regrets.

“Truth or dare?” He asked.
He grabbed the wine, taking a swig before passing her the bottle.
She paused, grabbing the bottle, ignoring that electricity she felt when their fingers brushed. She took a large gulp before answering, “truth.”
He raised an eyebrow her way, “what’s a secret you’ve never told anyone?”
She considered it, considered the little ones when she was younger to the bigger ones as an adult but she came back to one, the watered down version of the truth maybe but still a truth that existed at some point in her life.
“I used to have this massive crush on you.”
Or Five Christmases Colin and Penelope spend togther and one they spend when they're finally together.

Summary
Modern AU
Colin Bridgerton is a travel influencer, who is in love with his best friend. He knows that she would never see him as a series prospect though. She's smart and ambitious and she dates research scientists. He is also harboring another secret that isn't too keen on anyone finding out.
Penelope has always wanted to be a published writer, but the modern landscape favors Social Media influencers. So she turned to her best friend, Social Media Influencer, Colin Bridgerton. If they start to fake date it'll give her the cred she needs to get a real book deal. It shouldn't matter that she's been in love with him since she was 16. She's never acted on her feelings before and this won't change anything. Right?
This completely chaotic fic is a challenge to myself to see how many 100 prompt sentences I can fit into one fic.

Summary
They made a pact: if one of them was ever drunk, the other would be their "designated texter:" a safe space for their drunken ramblings and the next day they would pretend the conversation never happened.
It worked so well. Until it didn't.
Or:
5 times Colin and Pen drunk text each other during the Christmas holidays and the 1 time they're both sober.

Summary
Of all the Bridgertons to work directly under, Colin Bridgerton was the best Penelope could’ve hoped for. He was handsome, flirty but respectful, kept his private life out of her hair and seemed to be kind, appreciative and understanding as a boss.
And still she wanted him to screw her brains out every time he so much as grinned at her.
Maybe the damn book was to blame in part for that particular fantasy.
AKA another Boss!Colin / Secretary!Penelope kink AU.

Summary
A Polin story based on Taylor Swift's Reputation album:
Penelope Featherington, notorious gossip columnist under the pseudonym Lady Whistledown, had been doxxed. Her anonymity was shattered, unleashing a firestorm of scandal, betrayal, and public scrutiny. Fleeing the judgment of London’s high society and the wreckage of her reputation, she seeks refuge in New York City, where she unexpectedly crosses paths with Colin Bridgerton—the man who once shattered her heart and trust with his own pen. And yet, New York sweeps them up in their intoxicating bright lights and brings them together... whether she's ready for it or not.

Colin to Pen
9 Dec
[07:03]Colin: I need a favour
Colin: also hi
Colin: good morningThe phone vibrates against the bathroom counter, and Penelope hates the way her heart does this little flip in her chest at the sight of his name flickering at the top of her notifications. She stills, eyeliner poised in her hand, and contemplates answering. He never texts this early, so it is likely whatever he needs is important.
But she is running late.
And, more importantly, she is trying to be better about these sorts of things.
