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.
OR: A Hallmark Move Christmas Special featuring two idiots in love and ALLLLLLLL the tropes.
UPDATE 2/6/26 WITH AN EPILOGUE THAT NOBODY ASKED FOR.

Summary
Strangers want Colin for his body. Penelope has always wanted him.
A drunken compliment, one very specific word, and suddenly he can’t pretend he hasn’t been missing something all along.

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

A smutty crackfic inspired by a thirst trap Instagram photo.

Summary
Colin Bridgerton is the first beta to be born to the prestigious Bridgerton family in generations. His designation brands him as useless, no better than a bastard in the eyes of the ton.

His only reprieve is his friendship with Penelope Featherington, the only person who does not treat him differently because he is a beta. When Colin learns that Penelope is searching for an alpha husband, his entire world is turned upside down.
Will Colin's buried instincts finally see the light? Or will he lose Penelope forever?

There’s only one person who can help him fix this. The only problem? He hasn’t spoken to her in seven years.

Summary
“Oh my god Penelope, you better be dead in there! Wake up!” Prudence’s fist is mid air when Penelope yanks her door open. “Why the hell is your door locked?”
“Jesus Christ! What do you want? It’s barely morning.” Penelope rubs her eyes sleepily, her voice is thick and croaky.
“Mum has been screaming for half an hour! We’ve been burgled!”
*****
A modern tale where Colin falls first but Penelope falls harder. Oh! And Mayfair is being terrorised by a cat burglar.

Summary
The first time Penelope happened across it she stumbled back, her eyes wide in shock though it wore off in seconds as a disbelieving grin stretched across her face. Colin Bridgerton had a sex toy. A rather vulgar one at that. To know someone who was so jovial and gentle would go out of his way to buy and use a fucking pocket pussy was as amusing as it was alluring.

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
Christmas Eve 1947. London rests in the soft post-blackout glow, and war correspondent Colin Bridgerton is certain he’s already missed his chance with Penelope Featherington.
Then, in a Bloomsbury tree lot, he finds her again—reshaped by the war but the same old Pen, the dear friend he grew up with. Over the course of a single Christmas Eve spent together, misunderstandings unravel, old hopes spark back to life, and a quiet nudge from his father’s memory reminds him that some chances aren’t lost after all.

It's the annual Bridgerton Christmas Party and Colin has two objectives; stay long enough to get his sisters off his back, and avoid Penelope Featherington at all costs. So when Penelope finds HIM, drunk as a skunk and determined to hash everything between them out, Colin wonders what he did in a past life to warrant this kind of torture.

Summary
When Penelope is kidnapped on the road to London, she doesn’t expect a swift rescue, if one comes at all. Then Colin Bridgerton comes crashing through the door, windswept, heartbreakingly heroic, and entirely too handsome for his own good—especially when she starts praising him for saving her life.
Now they’re stranded for the night with only one bed and Colin rapidly discovers that nothing tests his gentlemanly restraint like sharing close quarters with the one woman whose opinion has always mattered to him—especially when she won’t stop giving him those maddening compliments.
