    Summary

    “Colin?"

    “Yeah, sweeth– Pen?"

    She laughs at his slip of tongue, wanting to make a crack at how she's not so sweet after how she asked him to pound into her until she was sore—but she knows her laugh is masking how she truly feels. The rules are to protect her, because Penelope knows this will never last, not in the long run. Colin's never resented them, or if he does, he hides it well.

    “Have you heard of subspace?” Penelope finally blurts out.

    Penelope and Colin are friends with increasingly frequent benefits. One day, she asks him if he'll get her to subspace.

    As a friend.

    Summary

     Long before she loved him, Penelope Featherington learned how to sit across from Colin Bridgerton and lose gracefully.

    From childhood chess matches in the Bridgerton drawing room to glittering London ballrooms, Penelope spends years quietly loving the boy who never quite sees her clearly. But when a devastating accident leaves her broken in body and spirit, the carefully ordered world of the ton begins to fracture around them both.

    As pain, dependence, and dangerous remedies threaten to consume her, Colin is forced to confront the truth of what Penelope has always been to him—and how easily he could lose her.

    A story of longing, addiction, recovery, and a love that survives even the cruelest seasons.

    Summary

    “I want a chance to earn my friend back.” He took a cautious step into the room. “I am whole-heartedly sorry for what I said! It was stupid and careless, and I wish I could undo it. Please let me make it up to you, to get us back to the confidence we shared before that thoughtless mistake?”

    Her eyes hardened. “There is no going back, Colin.” She folded her arms across her chest. “I never asked you to court me-”

    “I know, I-”

    “I have not finished!”

    Colin gaped at her. Pen could be sharp in her witticisms, and he now knew she could be vindictive and cold when wounded. But he’d never seen her speak with such self-possession before. He bowed his head apologetically and gestured for her to continue.

    Or...

    An alternative S3 based on the synopsis. Aimed to have it completed before S3 was released but took too long. It was fully plotted but only half-written when the show was released, so occasional influence from the show has crept in but I try to minimise this. Probably now a bit of 'fix fic' (sort of) for those who wanted it to take longer to rebuild their relationship, more Colin perspective, a different placing of the Whistledown reveal, and some Colin and Pen against the world! :-)
