Summary
"It makes perfect sense!" Penelope's eyes are bright with wine and conviction. "Think about it. We know each other. We trust each other. We both agree that virginity is some arbitrary social construct, so why are we letting it bother us? Let's just—" She makes a decisive cutting motion with her hand. "—get it over with."
"Pen—"
"Colin," she sighs dramatically. "We could die tomorrow. As virgins."
"We are not going to die tomorrow."
"We could. And it will kill us."
"Well, we’d already be dead, so—"
“We could die. Tomorrow. As virgins. I don’t know if there is a fate worse than that, Colin!”
The one where a question, posed under the weight of alcohol, leads to more than either bargained for.

Summary
The plan is this: come home, get a real job, stop running away from the only woman he has ever truly wanted, and make Penelope Featherington see him as something other than her goofy, perpetually wandering best friend.
The plan is simple and elegant, and all sorted—except for that final little bullet point. No big deal.
What could possibly go wrong?

This is what she does. She holds and holds and holds—through the chaos, through the loss, through shifts that crack her open and leave her raw—until something inside her finally gives.
Then she goes home to him.

Summary
When Penelope was fifteen, she asked Colin to kiss her.
At eighteen, he did and it ruined him. Because surely, a girl doesn't ask for a kiss unless she’s in love too… right?
Colin began picturing a life with Penelope. A country estate. Ten children. A dog.
So imagine his horror when she started entertaining suitors.
Ruined him, and now this? And honestly, is it not a woman’s duty to marry the man she ruined?Bookmarked by abvj

Summary
“The columnist who writes the Love and Sex column has had a medical emergency,” Penelope explains as she takes a fortifying sip of wine. “They want me to take over writing the column for her for an indefinite amount of time while she recovers.”
Francesca gives Penelope an appraising look. “You’re nervous about this? Why?”
“I suppose it’s two things,” Penelope says, looking into the middle distance between her friends. “First, it’s a lot of work.”
“You’ve never been afraid of hard work, Pen,” Eloise offers.
“Thank you, but second, and probably more importantly, I don’t think I have the requisite experience to do it well.”
“Why? You’re a great writer,” Colin says from the corner where he’s been uncharacteristically quiet all night.
Penelope feels herself flame red. “It’s not my writing that’s the issue.”
--
Or Penelope is given a work assignment to author a popular Sex Advice column but doesn’t feel she has had enough “experience” to do it well. Colin offers to “help.”- Language:

if it's the thought that counts (let's think it through) by Demisexual Colin Bridgerton (karawrites)

Summary
Colin had asked her to take his virginity.
Not lose it with her, like throwing it in the bottom of the closet with the old school shirts unworn for years, or like a treasured bracelet, adored until it falls off one day never to be seen again. Take. Like it was his to give and hers to claim. Like she could cherish it.
And she’d said yes.

Summary
Penelope and Colin had a falling out years ago.
Does she still love him? Yes. Is she doing her best to forget him? Absolutely (if you don't count that *one* thing).
He's been busy traveling the world, barely home at all — certainly not for New Year's.
So. What exactly does he think he's doing at the lodge, standing in her room?
