Summary
Penelope Featherington starts the new social season with a mission: To make Eloise Bridgerton forgive her for lying to her for literal years. This will not be helped by the fact that she has to bring back Lady Whistledown for good to secure her family's dire financial situation, but she still has to try. Eloise is her best friend after all!
Colin Bridgerton also has a mission: To make Penelope Featherington forgive him for telling the whole world she isn't marriage material. To ensure he succeeds, he comes up with a brilliant plan to get back into her good graces and get the happy-ever-after she deserves to boot. (Colin Bridgerton is an idiot.)
***
Continuation of season 2. Spoilers for season 2. TV-continuity. Season 3 speculation. Polin-centric with a hearty dash of Penloise-friendship.

Summary
Colin Bridgerton was not a fool, despite what his siblings might think. Nor was he merely a charming and handsome darling, as Lady Whistledown had labeled him in the past. No, Colin Bridgerton was well-read and well-educated, and he was observant, even though his current predicament required no real outlay of any of these qualities.
Colin Bridgerton knew he had fallen out of favor with Penelope Featherington.
Watch as Colin Bridgerton goes to increasingly mad lengths to keep Penelope Featherington safe and sound (and away from other suitors).

Summary
"At any rate, I am not going to marry soon," Colin grumbled, sending his older brothers a glare. Then, with a slight rise in his voice for finality, he said just about the stupidest thing of his life. "And I am certainly not going to marry Penelope Featherington!"
“Oh.”
And so begins a lengthy love story... 7 years later. But what if we delve deeper into those 7 years? What if we get to watch Penelope and Colin change and mold as individuals and as a friendship throughout that time? What if Polin was the slow burn I so very crave, my Dear Reader?
Read and find out.

Summary
What if Penelope reacted differently when Colin accused her of trapping him?
Penelope ran away from the Ton, giving Colin what she thought he desperately wanted: his freedom. She loves him too much to allow him to be trapped in a loveless marriage with her.
Colin never expected to lose Penelope; his anger towards her pushed her to leave him, promising he would never have to see her again.Thanks to the money she made as Lady Whisteldown, she fled to Greece, passing as a young widow named Anne Bridges. She is set to be a single mother and raise her child away from a society that never cared for her and from a father who would think the child is only a product of her "plan entrapment".
Thanks to the help of his brothers, Colin will do even the impossible to get his Pen back.

Summary
Colin Bridgerton embarked on a grand tour with high hopes of triggering his first rut and presenting as an alpha. Despite his efforts and newfound experiences, he returns at the start of the new season unchanged—except for a bit more worldly wisdom. While the Ton spreads whispers that he is a beta and his family assures him of their support no matter his status, Colin cannot shake the feeling that something more lies dormant within him. His draw to Penelope Featherington and her scent only adds to his confusion.
With the season ahead, perhaps Colin will finally uncover the answers he seeks.

Summary
“This is not happening Colin. I am not going to play any part in this, do you hear me?”
“Of course, nobody would expect you to fall over at my feet, especially in light of my unforgivably rude comments last Season.” Colin said, all reason and calm as he collected his hat from a footman, “And what would be the entertainment in that? You must be permitted to test my mettle as a suitor. Indeed I am beginning to look forward to the chase.”
“There will be no entertainment! No chase!” Penelope protested, panic steadily rising within her. “Colin-”
“Good day, Miss Penelope.” Colin smiled, familiar laughter and devilry dancing on his handsome face. She watched in mute outrage as he tipped his hat to her and strolled out her front door.
After his careless words ruined Penelope's prospects on the marriage mart, Colin is determined to do everything he can to restore her reputation and to find her a good match, even if it means pretending to court his best friend.
However, outside forces with a grudge against the Bridgertons inadvertently transforms a wallflower into the most coveted prize of the London Season of 1815.

Summary
Following the season 2 finale in which Colin declares he would never dream of courting Penelope and Eloise discovers Pen's LW secret.
This is my idea for how a Polin-centered Season 3 could work, adapting the book as much as possible. Expect both very romantic Colin, self-denying Penelope, and supportive Bridgertons. If you're here for smut, proceed to chapters 13 and 16 (although chapter 9 dips its toes in the smut waters, somewhat, too). Enjoy!
(Just a head's up - I wrote this before the Season 3 synopsis was released, so you won't see any Colin teaching Penelope confidence in this one)- Language:

Summary
“It’s not as though you are in love with Penelope,” Eloise says.
She catches the tiny change in Colin's expression: a barely there wince. It takes her a moment to grasp the implications of it.
“Oh,” she whispers.
—
“It’s not as if you would actually wish for Colin to court you, so his words from last season need not signify,” Eloise says.
Penelope cringes.
“Oh,” Eloise says. Again.
—
In which Penelope resolves to keep her friendship with Colin perfectly proper, Colin attempts to truly know Penelope, and Eloise knows everything.

Summary
“Jason,” my father began warmly, “already hard at work with the new recruit, I see. Very good.”
“Yes, sire,” the Captain of the Guard agreed. “Luckily, Nico is well-trained, so he’ll be up to speed in no time.”
“Of course, Jason. You know I trust you. I’m not here to check up on you both, though. Prince William and I had a break in our schedule, so we thought now would be a good time to meet—Nico, was it?” My father directed the last part to the man in question.
“Yes, sire, Nico di Angelo of Erebus,” the new knight answered, voice deep and accented.

Summary
“Please don’t tell me you tried to talk to Achilles Pelides for his sake.” Briseis knew Patroclus and his sometimes worryingly big heart. It wouldn’t have been the first time he went out of his way to please someone he cared for.
“I didn’t.” Patroclus said, trying to avoid the hazel eyes dissecting his expression. Now came the complicated part. “Achilles’ team might or might not be his favorite, though.”
“So?”
“So I might have or might have not asked Achilles if he’d send me a photo of himself getting ready for a game so I could photoshop myself in it and spite my cheating ex.”
OR
After getting his heart broken, Patroclus came up with the perfect plan for revenge - all he needed was a well-photoshopped picture of him and his ex's favorite football player. What he didn't expect was for the said football player to actually become interested in him in the process. After all, he was nothing special, right?
