Summary
Colin huffs and frowns. “I like it here.”
“Kneeling on my hard, outdated linoleum kitchen floor?”
Nodding emphatically, he affirms, “It’s where I belong.”
Penelope chokes on an ill-timed sip of wine. “What?”
“I like looking up at you.”
-`♡´-
Here's what I imagine would happen if you took a recently enlightened Colin, fed him alcohol, and let him play with his bestie's beautiful, curly hair.

Burn Notice by writergirl8 for RomancingTon
Fandoms: Bridgerton (TV), Bridgerton Series - Julia Quinn
02 Jul 2026

Summary
Colin had sworn to not two, not three, but four people he would not be in attendance: Eloise, Daphne, his mother, and Benedict. But Pen wouldn’t have come if she knew he was going to be in attendance, and Penelope needs his family nearly as much as she needs a holiday. He can’t let her vanish from their lives just because he’d hurt her feelings. That’s Colin’s fault, not Penelope’s. That’s his punishment to bear.
It’s just that the punishment is staying away from Penelope, and Colin can’t quite stand the thought of bearing it all the way.
--
Or, Penelope Featherington gets severely sunburned and Colin Bridgerton is just trying to get the girl.

Summary
"So…." He awkwardly starts, "What exactly seems to be the issue here, sweetheart?"
God, he's so…dirty. His arms are covered in grease, smeared all the way up to his shoulder. He can barely wipe his hands clean with the blue cloth. His hair? It's greasy. Probably from all heat and well, being under all the cars that are here.
"Uh—I can barely get her to start lately," Penelope mutters. "There is this awful screeching when I get her to start. If I keep trying, eventually it starts. I'm sorry, I don't really know a ton about cars."
The one where Penelope Featherington breaks down and meets pervy mechanic Colin Bridgerton.

“What’s wrong?”
“Erm… well… fuck. Ok. Colin.” She clears her throat. “I’m so sorry, but this is a call of shame.”
“A what?”
“A call of shame. I might… I might have chlamydia.”
“Oh.” MY FUCKING GOD. He doesn’t say that part out loud but he thinks it very loudly. “Ok.” She’s going to be freaking out.
“No. No, not ok. Not ok at all. We fucked!”
“I remember.” It is absolutely top of the wank bank.
“And not like sensible adults.”

Summary
She quirked an eyebrow, not sure exactly what was going on but open to humouring him. Moving slower this time, more deliberately, she brought her finger back to her lips, but this time she stuck her tongue out and licked the creamy substance from the pad of her fingertip, only bringing her tongue back into her mouth once it was fully clean.
She’d maintained eye contact with her boyfriend the whole time, and was equal parts turned on and fascinated by the fact that he was whimpering by the time her little show was over.
“Pen, I’m gonna need you not to judge what happens next and just trust me that it’ll be really, really good. Get your arse to the bedroom. Now.” As an afterthought, he added, “Please.”
“But the dishes,” she protested half-heartedly, clearly just poking the bear at this point.
“Fuck the dishes,” he said, already standing up and walking around to her chair. “I’ll set them on fucking fire if we’re not in the bedroom in the next five seconds.”

Colin and Pen stop using condoms and Colin discovers a new obsession.

Summary
"Everyone has their unrequited love story, yeah? My best friend, she had a brother. Well, she had four brothers, but there was one in particular. He was like the sun… and I—I was constantly pulled into his orbit."
It was a throwaway line in a throwaway interview that nobody was meant to read.
A story about missed connections and growing older and what happens when you finally stop running.

It is jarring to miss someone who is physically right there. To go from a constant state of physical contact to absolutely nothing.

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
It's maybe not something he should be doing for his friend. It is maybe too much, not normal, but Colin likes how it makes him feel. For two months a year he gets to be a man who has a girl to buy flowers for. Sometimes when the florist says for your girlfriend? he will say yeah, and when they say lucky girl he will say yeah, yeah she is or I'm the lucky one and for a few moments he is another person entirely, a man with a purpose and a life and a warm flat with a pretty girl in it, waiting upside down on the sofa for her peonies with her hair trailing.
Better than the reality, that he is a thirty-two year old loser with no job (which is why he can afford to be loping around the city all day looking for flowers). No job no girlfriend no point.
It is the happiest he is all year.

Summary
This is going to be so good, he thinks, a big smile forming on his face.
There’s no better way to welcome myself home than this. With a large grin, he exits the lift and enters the flat. He drops his luggage at the door and goes straight to the kitchen.
Oh gods. I don't know what could make anything better than this right now, Colin thinks as he yanks open the fridge.The story where Colin makes a sandwich.
