Unexpected Curves by ynnej2198 for m_luthien

Summary
This story came into my head randomly and is based off of the Friends storyline of Monica and Chandler’s unexpected hook-up at Ross’ wedding to Emily and their subsequent secret relationship. What happens when Anthony and Penelope find common ground at Colin’s wedding to Marina and realize that there is more to each other than meets the eye?
This is a modern Bridgerton AU set in the United States where Anthony is a rich billionaire CEO and philanthropist and Penelope is a writer sharing an apartment with Eloise. Anthony has not met Kate (and will not meet her) and Colin is in love with Marina and completely unaware of Pen’s feelings for him.
If you are fans of the original couples and cannot picture them with other people, then DO NOT READ THIS FIC, as it is NOT for you. But, if you have an open mind, then enjoy.

Summary
It was bloody inconvenient to realize you were in love with your friend when you were on another continent, stuck in a work contract for 8 months. It was the ultimate irony, Colin supposed, to have been in each other’s lives since childhood, had easy access to each other, only to start dating when they could barely even facetime. And now, having a romantic reunion to remember was remarkably more challenging surrounded by his family who did not know they were dating. But all he wanted for Christmas was Penelope, and he would do anything he could to make it count.

Summary
This is a story based on the books and the summary for Season 3. For those of you who can't wait for Colin Bridgerton's jealousy and 'simping' for Penelope. Benedict Bridgerton also plays a huge part in this telling. He is tired of watching his brother do nothing about Penelope Featherington. He takes matters into his own hands. Colin falls apart and tries to do the same.
[NEW: I put in an Epilogue for you guys!]

Summary
"It’s a quarter past seven on the 23rd of December, and the hotel Colin took them to looks so much like the fucking Christmasland in The Nightmare Before Christmas, they might as well have been pulled into a tiny little door shaped like a tree. And it’s fitting, really, because Penelope is living inside her personal little Christmas nightmare."

Summary
She turned to him, locked her eyes on his and, with a practised look of fear and desperation, she pled pitifully for her life.
“Please!” She gasped, making her voice as high, soft and small as it could be. “Please stop! Why are you doing this to me?”
But her inner voice was not small. Nor pitiful. What she felt inside was not fear. It was rage.
The Bridgerton crime organisation has been notorious in London for 30 years, but the second generation has found a chilling new way to obtain wealth and power.
And while Penelope's first intel-gathering mission for Mi6 has just gone very, very wrong, she's not quite as helpless as she looks.

Summary
As illogical as it is, the whole thing is Justin Timberlake’s fault.
Wherein these two idiots watch the movie Friends with Benefits, discuss the merits (and lack thereof) of such a thing, and then decide, like the dummies they are, to maybe, possibly... give it a go?
It goes about as well as one could expect.
