Colin has never cared, and this is the part of his day he looks forward to most. The slow ascent toward the light. The knowledge of what waits for him above.

Summary
As long as he can remember, Colin's had an insatiable sense of wanderlust. He's always had a calling to go out and look for something, even when he was a little boy and sneaking off and getting lost in the forest stretching out across the grounds of his family's country estate. There was something out there waiting for him, something that he's meant to be searching for, something that will give him that sense of purpose and fulfillment that he's been missing all his life. And this job scouting minimally explored planets allows him to do just that. The only problem, however, is that he has absolutely no sense at all of what that "something" is that he's meant to be looking for.

Or, the fic no one asked me for where Alien Pen needs Astronaut Colin to help her repopulate her dying planet, and maybe, despite all the obstacles in their way, they just might be destined for each other too.

Summary
"Pen?" he asks gently. Penelope looks up to see him gazing down, soft and wide-eyed at her, one of his oiled curls falling across his forehead.
"What if someone hears us?" she asks softly.
"Well, we must be very, very quiet then," Colin whispers.
Penelope gets to her feet, feeling suddenly shy. He has never been in her bedroom before, she realises. And he is so tall, even in his socks, and she is standing before him in nothing but her cotton nightgown.
She drops her gaze to his chest. "You shouldn't have come. It's too dangerous. We are too close to being gone."
"That is why I couldn't stay away." His voice is thick with yearning. Colin's voice is always thick with something, some large feeling. Penelope thinks she could tell each of his emotions apart by just the length of his vowels or the way he pouts out his plosives. "I wished… I wished to spend this night together."

Summary
The Selkie was a rough old pub, only a stone's throw from east London's best brothels and the working men they both served. There wasn't anywhere quite like it though, not with Charlotte running the place and seizing every opportunity she could get - even if it meant making deals with a gangster and setting his favourite barmaid in his sights to keep him sweet.
Penelope had always been taught the Devil would have a handsome face - what she wasn't prepared for is for him to be a gentleman as well.
What does a poor working girl do when a dangerous man offers her what none ever has before: safety.

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

“But you can’t go alone,” she added, her gaze meeting his with quiet conviction.
Colin’s lips quirked. “You sound as though you’re volunteering.”
Penelope’s smile was faint, but her eyes gleamed with the same spark he had always known; when she found a story, when she had uncovered some hidden truth others missed.
“Someone has to keep you from getting trampled in traffic.”
OR
A year after his disappearance, and the Brazilian government’s eventual declaration of his death, Colin and Penelope journey into the same jungle where Edmund Bridgerton vanished, seeking answers.

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.

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