Summary
This is a slow burn story. ❤️🔥
Colin Bridgerton was never supposed to notice Penelope Featherington — the quiet girl with the soft smile who always seemed to be somewhere on the edge of his loud, glittering world.
But when he discovers she can’t hear him, everything he thought he understood about love begins to change.
Because the more he learns her silence, the more he realises he’s the one who’s been living without sound.
A modern AU where a golden boy learns to listen — and finds the one heart that’s been speaking to him all along.

Summary
Penelope is quiet for a long while after he nodded his head and confirmed he was inquiring about whether or not she has changed her mind about having a baby with him.
"I…" she starts before swallowing once. "Well, I suppose as the years have gone on… I have imagined it a time or two, yes."
Colin knows she is telling the truth, and for the first time in a long time, he is also able to read her and surmise there is more still she is holding back.
"Is that something you wish for?" he asks cautiously. "A babe? One of your own?"
Pen's big, pale blue eyes blink at him twice slowly before she starts nibbling on her lip in a decidedly nervous gesture. "That is… We did not… We married for other purposes. I do not expect—"
"I am not asking what you expect," he interrupts, keeping his tone gentle, though, so as not to scare her out of this spell of vulnerability he's found her in tonight. "I am asking simply what you desire for yourself. Do you want a baby, Pen?"
"Yes."
--
Or, regency era Penelope and Colin have been in marriage of convenience for five years and decide to have a child together—platonically of course.

Summary
Colin Bridgerton works as a lumberjack in the family mill and has a steadfast determination with winning over Penelope Featherington, who works in the office.
She is a friend of the Bridgertons, that he has known nearly all his life, and is close with everyone in his family...except him, for reasons he does not understand.
They used be so close - as close as Penelope and Eloise were - more so at times. Now she was...civil…some of the time. The more distant and further she pushes herself away from him, the more he misses her and yearns for...something he didn't know he was lacking.
Sweaty, flannelled Lumberjack Colin with a beard! Nuff’ said!
Not enough said? Icy Pen, friends to enemies to lovers, sweet marshmallow Colin. Pining. Smut. Wayyyy more damn smut than intended thanks to Polin Week.

Summary
“Holy shit.” Colin could hardly believe his ears. “Rolling fucking Stone wants to do a profile on us?!”
“Yes!” Will’s voice boomed louder with his excitement; Colin was sure his bandmates could hear Will through the phone’s receiver even with the glass separating them. “Rolling fucking Stone wants to do a profile on your band!”
Colin didn’t need Will to tell him how major this was for them.
“There is one catch though.”
The sudden change in Will’s tone made Colin feel very uneasy all of a sudden. “…What is it?”
“The writer Danbury wants to assign to the article is Penelope Featherington.”
-------
Or, Colin's band Kissing Psyche is on the cusp of making it big, with an upcoming profile in Rolling Stone magazine, written by none other than Penelope Featherington. The only problem? She and Colin haven't spoken in two years.
