Summary
Penelope, an editor in Bloomsbury, has spent weeks on her sofa since the wedding that never happened, avoiding a manuscript she can no longer read and friends who finally install a dating app on her phone. Colin, a photographer just back from Ushuaia and fully intending to leave again, wants the same thing she does. Six weeks. No strings, no promises, no future. They write it all down in a contract: twelve clauses, including never looking each other up online. They text under pseudonyms, write to each other at dawn, and discover they are far better at keeping the rules than at not getting attached.
Contemporary AU, with one struggling houseplant, a family with opinions about everything, and a great deal of lavender.

Summary
Colin Bridgerton is charming, controlled, and completely unhinged.
After being rescued from an asylum, Penelope is hidden away at Aubrey Hall. She doesn't expect the third Bridgerton—who is rarely seen and only whispered about to be there as well.
One thing Penelope Featherington has learned is that when running from dangerous men, the safest place for her may be at the side of one even more dangerous.

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
Colin and Penelope find themselves at the same University after years of silence. Colin still isn't quite sure what caused Penelope to completely ghost him when he left for college, but one thing is for certain - she is absolutely NOT his friend anymore. He struggles to come to terms with that fact and tries a little too hard to bridge the divide between them. The result is a bitter stand-off that eventually leads to an assumption, which Colin takes as more of a dare. It might just be the thing that brings them back to what they used to be - or more.
**Mostly written - quick updates!**

To Ease a Troubled Mind by kybridge26

Summary
One week. That is all the time Colin has given himself. One week to take what he does not deserve and soothe the ache that refuses to fade. One week to live a dream he was never meant to have, and find the courage to tell her the truth anyway. One week before the clock—and his medication—runs out. One week for her to ease his mind, and perhaps change it along the way.

Summary
The Bridgertons have thirty-five days to come up with a plan to save Aubrey Hall, or lose it due to some minor financial mismanagement. There’s a loophole, though. If one of the heirs of the estate marries, their spouse can accept the property in a transfer and avoid forfeiture.
Naturally, Colin volunteers to marry Penelope. Platonically.
No problem, right?

Summary
It had been a while since Penelope first discovered Colin Bridgerton had the filthiest mouth in all of London (mostly because it had also been a while since they started sleeping together), so when his dirty talk begins to take a turn towards the romantic, she’s certain it means nothing. Except, well, does he really have to make ‘nothing’ sound so bloody… convincing?

Summary
"Everyone has their unrequited love story, yeah? My best friend, she had a brother. Well, she had four brothers, but there was one in particular. He was like the sun… and I—I was constantly pulled into his orbit."
It was a throwaway line in a throwaway interview that nobody was meant to read.
A story about missed connections and growing older and what happens when you finally stop running.

Summary
When Colin opened the door for Penelope that day, he hadn’t realized that his life as he knew it was about to change. As he took her coat, it hadn’t occurred to him that he didn’t have all the time in the world to smile at her or enjoy her smiles or to jokingly battle with Eloise over who would have the honor of escorting her to the dining room where everyone was gathered. No, Penelope was his, ever since childhood, and he couldn’t conceive of a world where he didn’t have his best friend.

Summary
This is my reimagining of Season 3 keeping the lessons aspect in tact but adding in a marriage of convivence and various elements from the book. I will address Lady Whistledown but there will be 100% LESS ANGST.
Penelope asks Colin for lessons in flirting to help her secure a proposal. After a slow burn revelation Colin realizes he is Pen's best chance at freedom... IF she agrees to one little demand... a goodnight kiss, every night before bed. Pen can hardly believe her ears, let alone believe her own mouth when she agrees to his request. Will Penelope finally get over her insecurities? How can Colin ever convince her of his feelings after what he told Fife?
In a marriage of connivence, where one friend is hopelessly in love and the other friend insists on affection, hilarity ensues and maybe they can figure out how to make it all work in the end... no matter how many awkward good night kisses it takes to get there. After all: they say you should never go to bed angry.
