Summary
It is his sister’s wedding breakfast when Colin overhears the woman he has been courting talking to Lady Featherington – and before he knew it, he is engaged. To Penelope. Penelope, who is decidedly not the woman he has been courting.
By God, he has not so much as gifted her a single bouquet of flowers, which one surely ought to have done before speaking ones vows. Guilt was eating at him. He feared an entire florist shop would not make up for his actions.- Language:

Summary
After turning thirty, Penelope decides she's done waiting for the perfect man and wants to be a mother. With the help of an esteemed fertility clinic, she selects a sperm donor and gets pregnant on her own. Scared to deal with the judgement of others, she lies and says that her ex boyfriend who moved away is the father.
Though she and Colin have drifted in recent months, when he finds out her news, he vows to support her and show up for her and her baby. Her feelings for him muddy the waters, and she does her best to keep him at arms length during such an emotional time.
--
It all started with a brochure.
When Philippa struggled to get pregnant with her second, she and Albion looked into every option they could think of. At another painful Featherington family tea, Portia rattled off a list of old wives tales of sex positions they could try, earning groans and gags from all four of her daughters. Penelope glanced at the table, where the brochure lay forgotten, the words “Mayfair Fertility Clinic and Sperm Bank” sprawled in elegant typeface across the front, as though it were a fine dining menu and not an institution where men jerked off into cups.

Summary
Alfred looks over to see another one of those loose-cravat Englishmen standing by the statue – really, bending over to look at it upside down is a better descriptor. His brown hair is decidedly too long, flopping messily over as he straightens back up slightly, his eyes still fixed on the statue.
“Cupid and Psyche,” the man (really, Jesus, he is so young; boy is a better word for him) says, and he looks over to Alfred, eyebrows raised. “Incredible, isn’t it?”

Summary
A warmth spread through her, consuming her, until even the air seemed too thick to draw into her lungs. She pressed her palms against her knees, as though to steady herself, yet her mind would not be stilled. She saw again that brief flash of his smile, the one that had undone her entirely, and her breath trembled.
What foolishness this was. What wicked foolishness. And yet… she could not summon the shame she knew she ought to feel. Her sisters often spoke of temptation as something that hunted the innocent, but Penelope could not help but feel, in that moment, that it was she who hunted it.
OR
Deemed hopeless on the marriage market and quietly sent away to a convent, Penelope spends five quiet years trying to tame her heart before taking her vows. But when a young farmer begins assisting Sister Agatha, his gentle presence awakens feelings she ought never to harbour. Try as she might, Penelope cannot banish these wicked longings, nor the dangerous hope that her life beyond the convent walls might yet be her own.

Summary
He sees his parents exchange glances. “Penelope is included in that,” Edmund reassures him. “She is practically one of us after all.”
“Penelope,” he says slowly, as he tries to work out his words before he says them. “Is not my sister. And you said sisters.”

The six times someone told Penelope or Colin they were like brother and sister, and the one time they truly, absolutely, positively proved they weren't.

Summary
She left in a hurry, but moments later, she came back. “Colin?”
“Did you forget something, my love?”
Penelope beamed at him. “I love you.”
Colin was not sure he could grin more if he tried. “I love you too.”
She rushed off again, and he could still feel the butterflies fluttering in his stomach. Truly, he would never tire of hearing Penelope say that she loved him. It was the greatest fact he had ever known.
He noticed her journal remained open on her desk, and he went to pick it up, when a sentence caught his eye.
‘Colin thinks I have entrapped him, and I am not sure I have ever felt pain like this.’
In which, Colin reads Penelope's journal, and learns what was going through her head during their fallout.

Summary
His touch wasn’t polished, but it was real, rough in the way a rancher’s hands are, the kind of rough that made her feel every inch of him. Her dress did little to soften the contact, and that only seemed to stoke the heat flaring in her belly. Her lips parted, a soft gasp escaping as her body arched into his touch.
She’d known heat before—working the forge, toiling under the sun—but this? This was something else entirely.
OR
A new rancher rides into town in search of the finest blacksmith to forge his tools, but instead, he finds a round-faced redhead girl with a quick wit and a stubborn streak who turns his whole world on its head.

Summary
Look... I swore I was never going to write fanfiction again... I also swore I would never write heterosexual fanfiction... and yet Bridgerton S3, Nicola Coughlan, and these two soppy-in-love losers have had me in a chokehold since May... SO I GUESS WE'RE HERE.
This fic will cover eeeeeverything (I care about) that happens between "The Butterfly Ball" and "The Epilogue" in 3.8, because I want exstensive detail of happy, romantic, expectant-parents Polin so I AM GOING TO DO IT MYSELF AND AM SURE AS HELL GOING TO GIVE IT TO YOU.
I'm not sure exactly where this fic will end but I have a lot written already - (chapters are quite long but I will split them up as best I can!)

Summary
I wanted to mess around and see what my brain came up with if Colin held onto the Bridgerton brain cell and followed his feelings after Vauxhall. Sometimes we just wanna read a light 'n easy romance and Shondaland would never.
~*~*~*~*
I then looked down at Penelope, my breath catching this time at the look on her face. Her smile was back and bigger than ever, her eyes shining, somehow brighter with the lights reflected in them. The look of amazement on her face was too good to look away from.
“Wonderful light! Thank you!” I heard the man’s voice; my eyes still locked on Pen.
Wonderful light indeed.
