“Would you help me?” she asked.
“What?” The tea cup nearly slipped from his grasp.
“I think I just need some help to…make things interesting–for the story, I mean.”
“Oh…um…of course, I’d love to help you, Pen,” he said quietly before adding, “but, I’m not sure how?” His massive frame shrunk, shy and hesitant – a stark contrast to the typically poised, confident Colin Bridgerton she knew.
“Well, I think the biggest challenge is going to be…positioning. My characters have a height difference, kind of like you and me.” She could feel her cheeks flush at her admission, but she bravely continued. “If we could just…simulate various positions–clothes on and everything…that might help?”
* * * * *
OR Penelope asks Colin to help her simulate sex positions so she can figure out the logistics of smut. As a friend.

Summary
A year ago, Colin was still searching every corner of the earth he could get to for a purpose.
A year later, in the house across the Square from his childhood home, he has found more purpose than most do in a lifetime.
He is grateful for all of it. Joyful, disbelieving at his own luck, and endlessly grateful.
But it is quite a lot to balance, now. He wonders often if he is truly up to the task.
_____
This is second in a series of Married Polin stories in which Colin and Penelope navigate what Happily Ever After actually looks like. Just because an initial love story gets a happy ending does not mean everything comes easily. There is work to maintain that HEA. Happy work. Work that is worth it. But still: WORK.

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
The video finds her at two AM when the algorithm has decided she's vulnerable enough for spiritual content.
Write thirteen wishes, the woman on the screen instructs. One for each month of the coming year, plus one extra. And then, starting on the winter solstice, pull one each night and burn it. Release it to the universe. Trust that it will unfold without you clinging to it.
On New Year's Day, you'll have one wish left. That one is the one thing you are not delegating to the cosmos. The one thing you are committing to actually work toward.
It sounds like nonsense, but when Penelope is twenty-one and overwhelmed by life, the idea of outsourcing some decisions to the universe feels less like magical thinking and more like a legitimate coping mechanism.
At twenty-nine, she writes a wish that makes her hands shake so badly she can barely fold the paper:
I tell Colin how I feel.

Summary
By the time Penelope snuck out of the conference room and back to her desk, she felt like someone had scraped her confidence off with a spoon. She pulled out her phone and opened the chat thread she definitely shouldn’t still be using—but did anyway.
Penelope:
So. Good news: I didn’t die.
Bad news: My boss definitely wanted me to. He didn’t even yell, just stared like I’d insulted his ancestors.
Also I tripped. In front of a room full of people. Kill me.

Summary
Portia and Benedict begin having sex while she is living in Featherington House with Colin and Penelope, driving them absolutely insane.
Also Colin and Penelope get hot and heavy in a carriage. Again.

“Not under our roof, you won’t,” Colin warned, doing his best to sound commanding.
“You cannot stop me—”
“From taking my own brother as your lover?”
“You can think of me as somewhat of a father in law now, if you’d like,” Benedict quipped.
Portia chuckled. Penelope was positively vibrating next to Colin.
“I am actually going to murder you. Dueling pistols won’t be required, I shall do it with my bare hands.”
“I do not believe our mother would take kindly to that.”

Summary
ㅤ🎶 And then I go and spoil it all
by saying somethin’ stupid like I love you 🎶
It all started when Penelope openly lost her marbles during the staff meeting, a week after their trip to Aubrey Hall.
A single long weekend–meant for sweet marshmallow-roasting–had turned their bond of nearly two decades into a wreckage of silent suffering, stretching her resolve so thin she snapped. She wanted to claw her way out of her Colin-shaped bubble wrap because she couldn’t breathe anymore.
So, why not pour gasoline on the fire in front of the whole office?
All she wanted was to avoid him. All he wanted was for her to talk to him and tell him what broke her. The only communication–forced and charged with tension–begs the question: could the remains of their friendship vanishing before their eyes force them to see what they've both been too blind to admit, or will they insist on saying something stupid that isn't ”I love you”?

Summary
“I fuck like I fence,” Colin declares, leaning back in his chair, a smug grin blooming across his face.
There is no preamble. No warning. Just that bold declaration hurled directly at Anthony and Benedict, like a gauntlet thrown at their feet.
Brandy. Boasting. Naked fencing. The Bridgerton brothers have never been stupider.
