    Summary

    They’ve been having this same conversation for the past decade. Ever since Penelope was first invited to join the Bridgerton family tradition of a Christmas holiday at Aubrey Hall.

    Penelope endures a conversation with Portia. Luckily, she has Violet and Colin to help her pick up the pieces.

    Modern AU. One-shot. Kinda angsty but we soothe that with fluff.

    Summary

    The Bridgertons have always been a competitive bunch, never more so than when they are sequestered away from the judgmental eyes of the ton while staying at Aubrey Hall. However, when the family questions Colin’s sudden success during a casual game of Buffy Gruffy, he starts to wonder if he’s truly that perceptive or if it all has to do with a specific red-headed family friend sitting across from him.

    Summary

    What if, after enduring more pain than she could ever imagine, Penelope finally gave in and told Colin how she felt?

    --

    “You don’t have to say anything. I get it.”

    Penelope took three steps and felt a hand on her wrist. Colin grabbed her arm, pulling firmly, and spinning her around. His hand cradled her face as he bent down to kiss her, breathing her in as his lips covered hers.

    That’s all it took for Penelope’s brain to short circuit. Colin was kissing her. It was soft and gentle, but sent sparks to all of her limbs. Her body turned into gelatin.

    When they broke apart, she placed her hands on his chest, feeling the thud of his heartbeat underneath his shirt. His hand remained cradling her cheek.

    “Why did you do that?” she asked quietly, her heart in her throat.

    “I don’t know,” he breathed. He looked so young and scared suddenly. “I just felt like I should.”

    Summary

    “Please, Pen. I know you’ll love it if you try!” he’d pleaded with her on the street outside her flat. His car parked behind him was brimming with bags and camping equipment. His eyes were so fucking sincere, she didn’t stand a chance.

    And so now, she’s stomping on a foot pump trying to blow up their airbed (“Sorry, I only had a double”) while Colin gets the fire going.

    She’s quite committed to hating this whole experience. She's not the outdoorsy kind. She’s a city girl.

    Though she has to admit it is a bit fun.

    Summary

    Just one kiss.

    The question had surprised him; although it should not have, because her bravery has always been one of the many qualities he admired most about her.

    It does not have to mean anything.

    Still, Colin had hesitated. Not because of her, but for her. To ensure she understood the gravity of her ask. To allow her a respite to withdraw it if she wished to do so. But Penelope had not relented, instead murmuring his name and a desperate please that made him weak and ready to surrender to her.

    And since he is Colin and she is Penelope, and he would do almost anything for her, he did as she asked.

    They kissed, just the gentlest brush of their mouths moving together, and—

    After the events of 3x02, Penelope vanishes, Colin falls apart, and a series of very different events are put into motion.

    Summary

    It's exhausting, honestly. Loving someone this much.

    Six months of silence, and then Aubrey Hall.

    Penelope and Colin are thrown back into each other’s orbit for Kate and Anthony’s wedding, with too much history and not nearly enough distance. Tension simmers, old wounds resurface, and neither of them is as unaffected as they’d like to be.

    Summary

    Penelope stood in his doorway, biting her bottom lip and peering up at him hesitantly, drenched from head to toe, dripping water all over his ‘A Silly Goose Lives Here’ doormat (something Hyacinth had gifted him when she was six years old—she had him pegged from a very young age).

    He hadn’t seen Penelope in weeks—twenty-two days, five hours and…six…minutes to be exact—not that he was counting. The memory of the last time he’d seen her popped up into his mind without permission—her frantically whispered apologies hitting his ears, even as his lips still tingled from the warmth of hers, as she ran from his life, taking his shattered heart with her.

    “Colin…” She was twisting her hands together nervously. “I’m sorry to bother you like this…” Her voice was shaky, and she glanced down and took a breath, seemingly to compose her nerves. “I just…”

    “Are you okay?” Colin couldn’t help but ask. No matter how angry or hurt he was, he still cared for her deeply, and he could not hide his concern at seeing her show up on his doorstep in this state.

    Summary

    His mouth drops open slightly as he looks down at her hand on his chest. She wonders if he’s also comparing their sizes, and she licks her lips at the thought. He looks up at her face just in time to see the flash of pink of her tongue, and two things happen that Penelope thought she would never experience in her lifetime.

    1. Colin Bridgerton is looking at her with “fuck me” eyes so dilated that she can’t tell what’s denim blue versus black.
    2. Colin Bridgerton lets out the prettiest, breathiest moan she’s ever heard in her life.

    Who could ever fight against that?

    Summary

    When Colin agrees to work the annual Flagons & Flails Renaissance Festival with Penelope this summer, she expects him to be disappointed by the overall, well, nerdiness of it.

    Instead, Penelope finds him actually paying attention to her, noticing her, and even appreciating her a bit. Certainly more than he ever did before.

    And she kind of thinks it might destroy her.

    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.

    Colin to Pen
    9 Dec
    [07:03]

    Colin: I need a favour
    Colin: also hi
    Colin: good morning

    The 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.

    Summary

    Pen wakes up hungover with Colin Bridgerton’s hand on her ass—and a hazy memory of announcing to his entire family that her orgasms are “subtle.”
    Now Colin can’t stop thinking about it… and he definitely can’t let it stand. Her best friend is suddenly offering to prove—meticulously—that the only subtle thing here was her taste in men.
    Or.

    “What the fuck,” he says, enunciating each word like he’s tasting it, “is a ‘subtle orgasm’?”
    I choke—coffee, air, and my dignity all at once.
    “Colin,” I hiss, palms over my face. “We are not discussing my orga—this in a public diner.”
    He leans in anyway, infuriatingly earnest. “Explain it to me, Pen.”
    And because tequila is the devil, my brain chooses that exact moment to remember everything.
