    Summary

    "I would like to marry," Penelope said bluntly. She looked him directly in the eye, daring him to disagree.

    "Right." Colin gave a slow nod of the head, clearly taken aback by the declaration. His eyes had gone wide, giving him a look that was reminiscent of cornered prey.

    It seemed that the heavens were intent upon tormenting her.

    "Not you," she managed to say evenly, although she felt tumultuous waves rocking the boat that was her composure.

    "No, of course not," he agreed hastily, embarrassment evident on his face.

    Summary

    "Normally, I only have to think of you reading my letters for my muse to alight upon my shoulder and guide my quill across the page. You said once that there is so much more to say than what one can put into a letter… tell me, Pen… do you have nothing to say? Have my letters missed the mark? Your silence is most unusual, and I cannot help but feel perplexed, as I cannot figure out what could possibly be keeping you from responding… twelve letters, Penelope… one, or two is an accident… twelve is a punishment."

     

    Colin returns to London for the Season of 1815, hoping to reconnect with his friend Penelope - only to discover that everything has changed between them.

    Summary

    Following the season 2 finale in which Colin declares he would never dream of courting Penelope and Eloise discovers Pen's LW secret.

    This is my idea for how a Polin-centered Season 3 could work, adapting the book as much as possible. Expect both very romantic Colin, self-denying Penelope, and supportive Bridgertons. If you're here for smut, proceed to chapters 13 and 16 (although chapter 9 dips its toes in the smut waters, somewhat, too). Enjoy!
    (Just a head's up - I wrote this before the Season 3 synopsis was released, so you won't see any Colin teaching Penelope confidence in this one)

    Summary

    Penelope Featherington has always dreamt of the day she would marry her best friend, Colin Bridgerton.

    What she didn't realize is that she would be marrying him for obligation, not for love.

    At least, not at first...

    ** Slow burn taking place directly after the events of season 2, fic now complete**
