    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

    Colin returns from a trip abroad and immediately loses all control. But consequences have a way of rippling out and the more he tries to hide the infraction, well, some truths insist on being known.

    Summary

    It's been 10 years since Penelope and Colin last saw each other. Penelope Featherington is officially settled into spinsterhood and the talk is that the third born Bridgerton’s misadventures have changed him and he is no longer a charming gentleman but a stoic man with scars and a far away expression. The Bridgertons, for Colin’s wellbeing and to settle their name back into polite society- arrange a marriage for him. They choose Featherington's youngest and unmarried daughter- Penelope Featherington, but she is no longer the wall flower girl Colin once knew.

    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! :-)

    Summary

    After receiving nothing but cold receptions from Penelope during the new social season, Colin is led to Lady Danbury’s library where he finds Pen drunk and distraught. She asks him one confounding question he had never given much thought.

    Or, what happens when a drunk Pen admits her feelings to an oblivious Colin?
