Summary
Colin Bridgerton is having an identity crisis, yearning for something deeper. In a moment of vulnerability, his anonymous online post goes viral, and is picked up by the most unexpected of columnists. Faced with the harsh and superficial judgments of strangers, Colin has a choice to make: succumb to the chaos and let his insecurities spiral, or reclaim his narrative and embark on the soul-searching journey that might just lead him to the genuine connection he's been longing for.

Summary
Penelope never considered herself inherently maternal. Motherhood had always been something abstract—a duty, a concept, a role she might one day inhabit, but not something she wanted.
Not until Colin Bridgerton.

Summary
There are only so many excuses one can make when presented with an inevitable truth. But then again, Colin Bridgerton was never one to back down from a challenge. Even if that challenge was finding increasingly ineffective excuses to explain away what had been building for years.
Namely, that he had been slowly and surely falling for his best friend.
OR
The five times Colin and Penelope were stuck together (and nothing happened)...and the one time something did.

Summary
When Colin Bridgerton returns to London for a social media sabbatical, Penelope suggests that he crash with her for the duration, however long it might be. Sure, she's been in love with him forever, and sure she has a full-time job, and sure she's a secret romance writer and nobody knows it, but she's really good at hiding things, so it should be fine, right? But when she also suggests that he work with her publisher, all of the secrets she's been so carefully tending start creeping into the light.

What’s a Little Sex Between Friends? by artku

Summary
When Colin learns that Pen's lack of time for a relationship hasn't dimmed her need for sex, he offers up his cock to spare her from the purported dangers of booty calls. Who knows, maybe he can convince her to want more. Specifically, with him. He'll at least have a grand time trying.
Pen has missed out on too much in life because of her blasted unrequited love for Colin. Realising that the only way to be rid of him is to let him break her heart, she decides to stop holding back and freefall into love. And onto his cock. A few orgasms will help hasten her towards her goal, after all.
Swirling sex into friendship poses complications; and between assumptions, equivocations, and a complete inability to ask for what they want, Colin and Penelope find that there is nothing little about 'a little sex between friends.'

Summary
Penelope Featherington finds herself spending the pandemic lockdown at Aubrey Hall with a good number of the Bridgerton clan gathered. There's one Bridgerton that she isn't planning on seeing-- her best friend Eloise's older brother Colin. They used to be friends--very close friends. But now, they're more like strangers and she harbors a good amount of bitterness towards him. Sure enough, though, Colin Bridgerton is staying at Aubrey Hall too and she's forced to interact with him. Can Penelope and Colin repair their friendship? And can they possibly find maybe a little more for themselves than friendship along the way?
