Summary: “It’s not as though you are in love with Penelope,” Eloise says.
She catches the tiny change in Colin's expression: a barely there wince. It takes her a moment to grasp the implications of it.
“Oh,” she whispers.
—
“It’s not as if you would actually wish for Colin to court you, so his words from last season need not signify,” Eloise says.
Penelope cringes.
“Oh,” Eloise says. Again.

Summary: "It’s like… long distance sex.”
That gave her pause. She looked up at the number. “What?”
“It’s like… 69,” he said, pointing at the numbers. “But there’s something in between them. Distance. Or! Or maybe that's the phone,” he said, pointing at the 0.
Penelope blinked up at the numbers. “God, you’re such a dork,” she breathed, turning around and tugging him into a bruising kiss. “It’s so fucking hot.”

Summary: “I need four of the little fuckers, it looks like. Do they sell frozen scoter?" Penelope scrunched her nose, deep in thought. "Honestly, I’m not sure I’m entirely confident on what a scoter is, now that I think about it."
"It’s a type of duck. And you could find it frozen, maybe, but honestly," Anthony glanced over at Eloise before turning back to Pen, "Grandmother always used fresh scoter. I think it’s a difference-maker, to tell you the truth."
Penelope blinked. "So, that means … what exactly?"
"Well, you’ll have to go on the hunt,' Eloise said matter-of-factly."

Summary: Alfred looks over to see another one of those loose-cravat Englishmen standing by the statue – really, bending over to look at it upside down is a better descriptor. His brown hair is decidedly too long, flopping messily over as he straightens back up slightly, his eyes still fixed on the statue.
“Cupid and Psyche,” the man (really, Jesus, he is so young; boy is a better word for him) says, and he looks over to Alfred, eyebrows raised. “Incredible, isn’t it?”

Summary: 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: “Are you quite serious?”
Colin rolled his eyes and held back an irritated sigh. If he had two quid for every time he’d heard this particular query from his eldest brother, he’d likely be rich enough to do without his trust completely (maybe). “I don’t see what the big fuss is, Ant. This is what you wanted, isn’t it?”
Anthony scoffed. “For you to put down some roots, yes. I didn’t realize going on a reality show would be part of that.”
