Summary
“I wish we truly were sisters,” Hyacinth murmured dreamily.
“Oh, I should like that very much as well,” Felicity laughed, “though I suspect Gregory would not share our enthusiasm.”
“If we were sisters…” Hyacinth murmured, thinking aloud, “perhaps it might truly be possible.”
Felicity watched Hyacinth’s thoughts race ahead of her, eyes bright with sudden purpose. “Oh no, no—absolutely not.”
“I still have unmarried brothers.”
“I will not marry Gregory just so we may be sisters!” Felicity exclaimed.
“Ugh, no,” Hyacinth said with a shudder. “I was thinking of another Featherington.”
“Pen?”
“Penelope, mm-hmm,” Hyacinth nodded, a wide smile spreading across her face.
Felicity stared at her as though she had quite lost her senses. Hyacinth leaned closer. “Listen, close your eyes and imagine it. Penelope becoming a Bridgerton. You and I spending entire weekends in their new home. The holidays, the celebrations, everything, together. You and I, sisters.”Or: How Felicity and Hyacinth attempt to become real sisters, accidentally drive Colin mad with jealousy, and unleash his most chaotic Era yet.

Summary
*Colin has sent a pic*
"O-Oh."
"What?" Eloise Bridgerton, her best friend since childhood, mumbled from behind her.
Penelope’s cheeks burned red hot as she realized that she was still staring at the picture of Colin only dressed in his suit trousers with his braces hanging down from his hips. His chest was completely bare, except for the dusting of dark chest hair she suddenly and desperately wanted to run her fingers through.
Damn, he was fit!
;) just giving you a taste of what you missed last night when you decided to abandon me to spend the night with the girls."
I'm sorry...
Are you FLEXING your abs?!"I'm just giving the people what they want. :D
Or... Hours before their wedding, Colin sends Penelope a pic of him shirtless and it drives her absolutely feral.

Summary
You think I do not want your help? I want nothing more! But I want you to help me for the right reasons!”
“You are my wife! I took vows to protect you! What could possibly be a better reason than that?”
Tears sprung to her eyes as she all but shouted, “and that in itself is the problem!”
“You are not making any sense, Penelope!” her husband yelled. “I do not understand you! I am trying to help you and I am still somehow failing you- What do you want from me?!”
“I want you to help because I am me! Not because I am your wife!”
Silence engulfed the room as the words settled in the air between them. All Colin did was look at her, eyes wide, as if she were a painting he was trying to process the meaning of. Penelope wished to speak, but every word she thought to say rose to her throat and lodged itself there, refusing to move even an inch. Finally, in a voice so small she nearly missed it, Colin asked, “what do you mean?”
What if Colin and Penelope reconciled a little earlier in episode 8?

Summary
After twenty years of shared secrets and whispers. Penelope and Colin are officially leaning into their "hag era" with a marriage of convenience. At thirty-eight and forty-three, they’ve traded the pressure of the marriage mart for a comfortable pact: she gets a travel partner to spice up her retired-Whistledown life, and he finally gets the constant companion he’s been chasing across four continents. It’s a perfectly sensible, purely practical arrangement... isn't it?
A mix of book and show Polin because I'm a sucker for them.

“Alright Ms. Arts and Crafts, teach me how to make one of these.”
