Embedded Files
Obviously any great fic will have elements of fluff, angst, and smut. I'm organizing these lists based on what is the MOST prevalent aspect of the fic.

Summary: “I was certainly a fool,” Colin says. “I lived my formative years in the presence of my parents’ undeniable love. I knew my match with Marina did not compare, and still, I rendered her a proposal. It is quite astounding to consider now.”
“I am so sorry that your first love treated you with such cruelty,” Penelope says, cradling his fingers. “I am very grateful to be your second love, so that I may ensure you always feel loved in return.”
In the early days of their marriage, Colin and Penelope receive a congratulatory letter from Marina. It prompts some reflection on the girls he touched before his wife, and the women that have shaped his life.

Summary:
“Thank you. For all your kindness. If I secure a proposal, it will be because of you.”
She turns from him and takes one step before his hand darts out to catch hers.
“Please do not leave,” he murmurs, thumb gently tracing the inside of her wrist, feeling her pulse leap under his touch, “not yet. There is still so much I need to say.”

Summary: Cressida did a cute little half shrug, giggling. “Just here with my boyfriend, Cade. He insisted on sweeping me away to Paris for the weekend. And you? Here all by yourself?”
Oh, it was so tempting to lie, but Penelope knew better.
“Ah, there you are.”
For a moment, Penelope wondered if she’d heard those words only in her head, but there he was.
He was everything handsome men were supposed to be, Penelope thought. Tall, broad-shouldered, with a sharp jaw evenly covered in immaculate stubble, a white-toothed smile, perfectly tousled dark hair, and bright green eyes.
“Penelope,” Cressida gaped. “Who is this?”
“Oh, you know Pen?” The man asked smoothly, all polite surprise. And seamlessly calling her by a nickname? He was good. “I’m her boyfriend, Colin.”
---
A vacation is just what an over-worked Penelope needs. Running into her childhood bully is the last thing she needs. And while she doesn’t NEED to be rescued by a handsome stranger, she certainly won’t turn him away, especially when he poses for a romantic photo & gives Penelope the best kiss of her life.
It's just a harmless vacation crush and she's never going to see the charismatic Colin ever again... or is she?

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.”

Series: Part 1 of Wooing Miss Featherington
Summary: His heart was hammering at a rapid pace. His palms were clammy and his cheeks were flushed. There was a feeling of tightness around his heart and a stirring deep in his belly. Was this what love felt like? Colin had turned eleven years old just two days ago. There was no way this could be love. Eleven year old boys were much too young to fall in love. In fact, based on the examples of his older brothers, even fifteen and seventeen year old boys were too young to fall in love.
His brothers returned to find him still sitting in the grass, a bemused smile on his face, and covered in mud. Anthony rode off to grab Colin’s horse who had wandered off to a nearby pond, while Benedict teased him mercilessly for the state of his clothing. Colin didn’t care though, because today he had met Penelope Featherington, and while he didn’t understand what precisely that meant yet, he could feel the profundity of it. He was certain that meeting Penelope Featherington that day was the greatest birthday gift he would ever receive in his whole life.

Summary: Colin can still remember what Penelope’s handwriting looked like when she was a little kid.
He had spent years getting lost in the large loops of her handwriting, bubbly and sweet, with long curls on lowercase G and Y, the spidery lines on uppercase F and E, the little tail on the letter R that he could never be bothered to complete. The people in the queue with him are chattering excitedly about how obsessed they are with the new P. Featherington book, the cute picture of her cat on her Instagram, the TikTok she posted of her making homemade strawberry ice cream, and Colin can’t stop wondering if a single one of them has any idea what her handwriting looked like when she was young.
