Summary
“We’re friends. I’m happy to do you a favour.”
She really does mean it. There is nothing Penelope wouldn’t do for Colin Bridgerton.
But then he raises his eyebrows, clears his throat, and says, “I was wondering if you might consider letting me fuck you and pretend that I am trying to get you pregnant.” He pauses, pondering before he adds: “Please.”
---
Or, after a series of increasingly unhinged sex dreams, Colin asks Penelope if he can roleplay getting her pregnant. Platonically, of course. That should get it out of his system.

Summary
Colin Bridgerton’s lame duck of a marriage had been over years before his wife walked out the door and into the bed of some unlucky bastard or other. Really, calling it quits was a decision they’d made for the best. Both he and Marina knew that; even their three-year-old twins knew that.
There was just one last tiny little problem he was having trouble with now that he was, for all intents and purposes, single again.
And, well, it was starting to send him round the bend.
AKA another age gap forbidden fruit story.

Summary
In a world where the marriage ritual leaves a permanent mark on you, the word that reflects your match’s first impression of you appears in your skin.
—•—
Penelope had known since she was eight years old who she would marry. She had heard stories about him, how brave and noble he was, and spent her whole life in love with the boy in the picture.
Something that had never crossed Penelope’s mind, however, was the possibility that Colin Bridgerton would be disappointed upon meeting her.
“Speak now, Penelope, with clarity and conviction. What is the word, bestowed upon you by the gentleman ordained as your match, that defines you in his eyes?”
The celebrant’s voice suddenly felt like a distant hum, her vision blurred by the tears welling up in her eyes. On her wrist, visible to anyone close enough to read it, was written her word with golden letters.
Shallow.

Summary
Penelope and Colin haven't been friends in six years. Not after his cruel words. Not after her personal attack in the aftermath. Hate seems to come easy for the two of them, the simplest alternative to a once-special friendship.
There's nothing Colin loves more than goading Pen into a fight. And if she's going to be a brat about it? Well, then he's going to have to teach her a lesson.
Over, and over, and over again.

Summary
Once Eloise leaves Colin's room, Penelope and Colin's proximity changes its tone; maybe it’s all in Penelope’s head, but there’s an intimacy here as she burrows into Colin’s naked chest, like it’s where she belongs. It feels like she does. It feels like he’s supposed to hold her like this, captivate her with the heat of his flesh, the depths of his breaths, and the strength of his hold. It feels a little like home, and it devastates her to think like that.
But this is what she’s missed the most. These unparalleled moments where there are no guards or boundaries or weirdness. The parts of him that make her feel the softest, when he’s affectionate with her through touch, like yes, he missed her as in her personality, but also her as in the feeling of her skin and the softness of her hair, because she’s missed those things from him, too. The quiet of his voice as he speaks only to her, the caress of his fingers when he tries to get her attention, the warmth of him when he invites her into his bed so he can hold her like this.
or; Penelope and Colin are forced to be touching at all times.

Summary
Colin Bridgerton objectively has a very cool job and a very cool life. He jets around the globe as a travel photographer, visiting the most beautiful and historic locales and literally get paid to do it. And yet, he couldn’t be more bored these days. That’s how he finds himself crashing in his sister’s spare room in an attempt to figure out what the hell he wants to do next. While he attempts to renew his enthusiasm for the career that once brought him so much joy or decide on making a change of some kind, he’s looking forward to a relaxing few weeks (maybe a few months even) spending time with his family and his best friend Penelope Featherington. Colin is anything but relaxed, however, when he finds out that shy, sweet, soft-spoken Pen has been hiding a career change of her own from him—a very lucrative and very surprising career at that.

Summary
Penelope is twelve when she starts seeing colors differently. When she realizes that not only can Colin see the change, but he's the cause of her new ability, they tumble into an intimacy neither are prepared for. Growing up with the love of her life as a foregone conclusion is not the easiest path, especially since resisting him becomes increasingly difficult and no matter how much she seems to age, she's still too young.
The more they fall in love, the more wrapped up in each other they become and Penelope starts to wonder how far it can all go.

A very specific kind that only this physician, as he called himself, could potentially be willing to alleviate for her, if there were any hope at all. At least that was what the flyer had said.

Summary
A quick exploration of his room did nothing to settle his nerves. All that remained in his armoire were clothes in the fashions of two seasons prior in cuts more suited for an Eton student than the adult Colin was supposed to be.
The mirror only worsened his state of confusion.
Back was the puppy fat of childhood on his cheeks and his body was lean, still muscular but not as broad as he was supposed to be and without as much definition that he had gained on his form.
“Did I really used to wear my hair like this?” Colin muttered, twirling a curl between two fingers as examined his reflection. A thought came to him and he tugged on a single strand until he yanked it out, feeling the sting on his scalp. “Shit!”
That had hurt. He had felt that.
“Ah, fuck.”

Summary
Perhaps it was her eyes, he thought. Or her laughter. Perhaps it was just her energy, lighting up whatever room she was in, so joyful and so bright. So alive.
It could be one specific thing or the entirety of her, but something about this woman awakened a hunger in him, a craving for her presence. In his thirty-three years in life and two-hundred in death, Colin has never felt such drawn to another person, such obsessive need to own someone-------------
Penelope moves into a, unbeknown to her, haunted house. Colin, the original owner of the centuries old building becomes a little too attached to his new companion.Bookmarked by bigstrapenergy

Summary
“Colin!” Penelope shouts, her face lighting up with a smile that had to be a million or two watts, rivaling the brightness of the sun.
“Pen,” he says, feeling some kind of weight drop from his shoulders, replaced by her when she jumps on him. Her arms wind around his neck and instinctively, he catches her, one hand on the back of her thigh and the other pressed against her lower back.
“Fuck, I missed you,” she breathes.
It’s exactly the homecoming he’d wished for. His heart takes off in his chest. She smells like vanilla and lavender, and her whole body is warm and wrapped around him, and he wonders if maybe they could stay like this for the rest of their lives, because God, he’s missed her, too.
With his face buried in her neck, Colin murmurs, “Yeah, me, too.” Neither of them really let go, and he doesn’t want to read into it that much because—he doesn’t even know. Because he’s scared, maybe. Probably. Because he doesn't understand it and doesn’t want to. Because for all his exploration of caves and canyons, he isn’t sure he’s ready for whatever he’d find the second he reads the text of their friendship and discovers something hidden between the lines.
