    Summary

    then—

    “See you later, Pen,” Colin calls out to her one last time before making his exit. The nickname rolls off his tongue like it’s nothing, like she’s always been Pen to him.

    Pen.

    (She is done for.)

     

    now—

    “Penelope,” he says her name with breathless wonder as if he can’t believe she’s right in front of him.

    “Colin,” she repeats back to him, and there’s a long pause that follows. There was a time, a very long time, when they would have hugged without a second thought. But things are different now.

    A modern AU lightly inspired by the book People We Meet on Vacation and also every slow burn friends to lovers rom-com to ever exist.

    Summary

    Colin Bridgerton works as a lumberjack in the family mill and has a steadfast determination with winning over Penelope Featherington, who works in the office.

    She is a friend of the Bridgertons, that he has known nearly all his life, and is close with everyone in his family...except him, for reasons he does not understand.

     

    They used be so close - as close as Penelope and Eloise were - more so at times. Now she was...civil…some of the time. The more distant and further she pushes herself away from him, the more he misses her and yearns for...something he didn't know he was lacking.

     

    Sweaty, flannelled Lumberjack Colin with a beard! Nuff’ said!

    Not enough said? Icy Pen, friends to enemies to lovers, sweet marshmallow Colin. Pining. Smut. Wayyyy more damn smut than intended thanks to Polin Week.

    Summary

    Colin Bridgerton had it all: a beautiful wife, four beautiful children, and a fulfilling career.

    Saying he’s content is an understatement; he loves this life.

    That is until he’s yanked from this reality and finds himself in the hospital, awakening from a coma.

    It turns out he is not married and never has been. Penelope’s just his friend, his children don’t exist, and his perfect job is merely a pipe dream.

    On a journey of rehabilitation, self-discovery, and grief, Colin must come to terms with the life he has and build it into the one that he dreamed of.

    …trying to convince the girl he’s known as his wife of their wonderful life together shouldn’t be too tricky, right?

    Summary

    Penelope Featherington is on holiday celebrating her birthday with one of her best friends in literal paradise. All of these things should add up to her spending the week with a beaming smile plastered on her face and having the absolute time of her life. Instead, though, she starts off the trip fixated on the milestone-nature of this particular birthday and one life milestone that she wishes she’d already checked off by this point. Quietly resigned to ringing in her birthday in a few days’ time without making any further progress, Penelope is entirely unprepared for a very helpful offer from her best friend who just also happens to be the person she’d spent years previously hopelessly crushing on.

    --

    Or, the one where Colin takes Penelope’s virginity “as a friend.”
