Summary
"I have needs," he blurts out, and then his face does something awful, crumbling almost, before he catches and rights it out of habit. "Fuck. That came out wrong. I don't mean—I'm not—" His hands are shaking. "I need help, Pen. And I think you might be the only person I trust enough to ask."
Colin asks. Penelope gives. Neither of them is prepared for what happens when the structure starts to fail.

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.

Summary
"Now," the boy (Colin, Colin, Colin) says, as he eases himself to his feet languorously, so he looms and teeters upon the wall. Penelope's breath catches in her throat — she stares up at him in frozen terror as he reaches a long arm out to snatch the top of the cherry tree, his body bowing elegantly into the nothingness of open air. One wrong move and he will tumble, she is sure of it. "Penelope with the Greek name and lovely face and hair like fire," (Penelope wonders if she might die from blushing), "if I throw you down some of the sweetest cherries from the top of the tree," (he begins to pluck and twist the green stems, the branches shaking precariously), "the ones the sun has kissed to perfect ripeness, the kind of cherries you have never tasted before in your life," (he pops one in his mouth and gives the rest of his speech pouted around it), "even as the daughter of a duke who always tastes the very best of everything — well, do you think you might favour me with a smile?"
Oh, she thinks (for even at fourteen she is decisive; knows her mind well). I am in love.
On the day she finds out she is to be married, Penelope falls in love

Summary
Colin’s fingers twitch. He shifts his weight from foot to foot. He’s been waiting for several minutes and he’s only getting more anxious. If only he could see her. He sighs dramatically.
“Your wife?” asks the customs officer.
Colin nods, eyes still searching for any glimpse of his friend, before realising that that isn’t correct. “I mean… no…” he mutters quietly.
We’re in Fiji, he reminds himself. They’re a very friendly people. She’ll be fine.
He still cannot see Penelope but he has a clear view of the customs officer, wearing plastic gloves and raised eyebrows, as he reaches into Penelope’s suitcase and pulls out the biggest dildo Colin has ever seen.

Summary
Mistresses.
Benedict spoke of it casually, as though it were simply the done thing, as natural as keeping a horse or maintaining a club membership. Colin had nearly choked on his drink. Not from shock at his brother’s past, but from the sudden, clarifying realisation that this was yet another aspect of conventional manhood that simply did not fit him.
And for the first time, he does not feel lesser for it.
Colin comes home to his wife, clearly bothered, after his night out at White's. A quiet, honest conversation ensues.
And then some.

Summary
Penelope Featherington is six and ten and on the precipice of making her debut into society when she goes to spend a month at Aubrey Hall. She is so excited to visit with her favorite family, which includes her dearest friend Eloise, the always kind and motherly Lady Violet, and of course the handsome, cheerful, and dreamy Colin. She is prepared to spend several weeks enjoying how uncomplicated and carefree the Bridgertons have always seemed to her before she embarks on the likely stressful journey of entering the marriage mart. What she is not prepared for, however, is one Bridgerton family member having a certain nighttime habit that makes everything distinctly complicated and even somewhat stressful for her at Aubrey Hall instead.

Or, the one where Colin is a sleepwalker and his sleepwalking plays a very important role in Polin finding their happily ever after.

“Whenever Newton picks a favourite, one of us has to lose our wife, and not just for an afternoon, for months.”

Summary
"You can't distract me, who isn't being fucked properly?" Colin's eyes have lit up, ever the gossip.
Eloise gestures to Pen, too drunk to heed her pleading eyes, "Penelope. Can you believe it? A body like that and no man has managed to get her off? A travesty!"
"Fucksake," Penelope moans, covering her face with her hands.
Colin swivels towards her, swaying slightly at the speed he moved, "You're lying."
"Colin, I really can't have this conversation with you." She already knows that the man she's madly in love with would never understand. She's seen his Instagram posts, the girls all over him. It's not going to be anything he can relate to.

Summary
This year instead of trudging home to her mother’s flat, Penelope has been invited to spend the Christmas holiday with her best friend Eloise and her family. Instead of snipping with her sisters over whipped turnips (less carbs than potatoes), Penelope will be breaking bread with the Bridgertons (carbs be damned)—a real family that is huge and loving and, more specifically, loves Christmas so much that they typically spend the holiday skiing in the French Alps.
And so, for the first time since she was seven years old, Penelope Featherington is looking forward to Christmas.
OR
A week in one of the poshest ski resort towns in the entire world. A week with Christmas themed Bridgerton family hijinks. A week that puts Penelope in insanely close proximity to her best friend's older brother Colin. What could go wrong?

Summary
He may have been a seasoned traveller, but this was the biggest disaster he’d seen at an airport in all his years traversing the globe. He’d been there since nine o’clock that morning, and hour after hour had gone by, with announcement after announcement stating a delay, then another, then another.
“If they’re going to cancel it, just fucking cancel it,” he mumbled, turning around abruptly and knocking his large pack against something solid, hearing a loud grunt and promptly turning around to see a body topple to the floor, much to his dismay.
“Oh my gods, I’m so sorry, are you okay?!” He reached his hand down to help the poor woman he’d apparently assaulted. She hesitated before taking his hand, letting him help her back up to standing, brushing herself off, then finally looking him in the eyes.
His breath hitched as he took her in for the first time. She was probably the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen.
***
A strangers to lovers, inspired by real-life never-ending flight delays. A sort-of ode to airports in general, and what a both magical and maddening place they can be. ✈️

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.

“I thought you said you were damned,” she teases him, as, his shirt now hanging loose, she slips her hand under and against the firm muscles of his skin, sighing at the feel of the contour of his body against her hand.
His gaze on her darkens the moment she touches him. “That was before I touched you the first time,” he says, before he is upon her again, kissing her firmly and deeply.
Or

“She was transforming, beautiful, sexy – because when he looked at her like he was now, that's how she felt.”
Penelope would follow Colin anywhere. No matter how risky the idea. If he looks at her like that, touches her like that, she’ll do anything for him.
Fuck everybody else.

He sees his parents exchange glances. “Penelope is included in that,” Edmund reassures him. “She is practically one of us after all.”
“Penelope,” he says slowly, as he tries to work out his words before he says them. “Is not my sister. And you said sisters.”
Or
The six times someone told Penelope or Colin they were like brother and sister, and the one time they truly, absolutely, positively proved they weren't.

Summary
It’s perfectly normal to keep a secret spreadsheet of your bestie’s likes and dislikes, right? Just to keep track, just to make sure you buy their favourite snacks and stuff. And if she happens to mention some sexy stuff then it’s fine to add that to the list too, right? Just in case.
———
“Colin nestles down into his bed, adjusts his glasses and pulls up the spreadsheet on his phone.
He adds a new category titled Sex and adds a Likes and Dislikes column.
He busily adds various things she mentioned and because he’s a bit (quite) drunk he adds little comments too.”
