Summary
What was meant to be a simple orientation at Whistledown Manor, an easy day to settle into her surroundings, have introductions, the usual last bit of paperwork for a new job; takes an abrupt turn when Penelope is thrusted immediately into her new role as the facility's Psychiatric Counselor. But the individuals under her care are not ordinary patients; in the eyes of the law, they are criminals.
As Penelope navigates the weight of her unexpected responsibilities, she grapples with an even more dangerous complication: one of her assigned patients, the enigmatic Mister Colin Bridgerton, stirs something in her she cannot ignore. As professionalism blurs with forbidden attraction, boundaries strain, Penelope must decide not only how to handle her new position...but how to guard her heart from a temptation that feels perilously close to sin.

Summary
Penelope Featherington, wasn't always like this. There was a time in her life when she wasn't counting bloodstained money, making sure every last dollar matched the amount her father demanded. A time when her phone calls didn't decide who lived and who died. A time when she wasn't chained to her father's every command, forced to silence the voice inside her that begged her to say no.
That time ended a decade ago.
She wondered if this was all her life would ever be. Was she destined to remain alone, forever denied the chance to build her own love, her own future, separate from the blood-soaked legacy of Archibald Featherington?
The One With a Mafia Polin Love Story.

Summary
Everyone always says to double-check who you’re texting; especially when it's something you'd never want a certain someone to see. But did Penelope Featherington listen? Of course not.
Fresh off a disastrous date, one she should have never agreed to go on; she was venting to both Eloise and Colin in separate texts… or so she thought. One chaotic post-date rant later, she fires off a message response meant for Eloise, and only Eloise....accidentally going straight to Colin.
And while she’s blissfully unaware of her texting mishap, Colin is now having a full-on internal meltdown, practically foaming at the mouth by what she just wrote. The "not so causal mention" of lip liner shades and nipples, is all he can think about. Suddenly, those “totally platonic, we are just friends, best friends” feelings he’s been pretending not to have? Yeah… not so platonic after all. He’s basically one raised eyebrow away from combusting.

Summary
Five days. That’s how long Penelope Bridgerton has been unconscious, lying in a hospital bed after a tragic accident that has shattered their world.
Outside, life continues as normal, but for Colin, time has frozen. He’s left to care for their two young children, to keep their lives as close to normal as possible while his world is falling apart. He tells them stories of their mother—her kindness, her wit, her love—and reassures them that she’ll be back. He has to believe it.
But as the days pass, the unbearable thought of losing her begins to creep into Colin’s mind. The weight of his uncertainty grows heavier with each moment. He cannot imagine life without Penelope, without the woman who is his heart and home. He begs. He pleads. Because surely, surely, after everything, fate wouldn't be so cruel as to take her away.
Then, in his grief, a theory lingers in his thoughts: the 7-minute theory. It suggests that the brain remains active for seven minutes after death, and during that time, a person may experience flashes of memories, emotions, or even a final connection with the world they leave behind. Colin holds onto this theory, refusing to accept that this is the end.

Summary
After being swindled by a fraudulent publisher, aspiring Romance novelist Penelope is left broke and disillusioned. Too proud to ask for any help but desperate to fund her dream, she reluctantly agrees to her friend's suggestion to work as a call girl, hoping it’ll be a quick solution to recoup her losses.
Meanwhile, Colin, heartbroken and bitter from an ex’s betrayal, is finally ready to move on—seeking nothing more than a fleeting connection to break his solitude. No strings attached, just someone other than his own hand to relieve him of this ache he feels. Little did he know, the night he drove down the dimly lit Whistledown Ave cash in hand, would be the very night he’d stumble upon an old friend working that same street.

Summary
Penelope figures if she can’t have Colin, at least she can have writing.
Have that – when her hands allow it. When the pain does. A world where writing is all she has, yes, but she has it, nonetheless. She begs and pleads to the sky above that she always will.
The sky gives her her wish over the next year.
(Over the next five, ten, fifteen, twenty. More).
It grants her more than just that wish, too.
Or, Penelope’s hands hurt.Colin holds her hands throughout all of it.
(a small, fluffy entry into a regency disabled! parent Polin universe, ft. Elliot, Agatha, Thomas, Jane, and Georgie)

Bronze Never Breaks by StrawberryWhorecake

Summary
Colin has no memory of his life before the orphanage—and he prefers it that way. The past holds nothing for him; his future is all that matters. Smuggling contraband across the border of two warring nations is dangerous, but it’s the fastest way to earn enough gold to escape the city with his closest friend, Penelope.
But when Penelope’s hidden past comes crashing into their carefully built lives, the two are forced to flee—and straight into the hands of the Bridgerton royal family. As secrets unravel and loyalties are tested, Colin must confront a past he thought he could outrun, and a destiny he never chose.
(I am currently in the process of rewriting this, so if you see it pop up again, that's why. Check the author's note.)
