    Summary

    Christmas Eve 1947. London rests in the soft post-blackout glow, and war correspondent Colin Bridgerton is certain he’s already missed his chance with Penelope Featherington.

    Then, in a Bloomsbury tree lot, he finds her again—reshaped by the war but the same old Pen, the dear friend he grew up with. Over the course of a single Christmas Eve spent together, misunderstandings unravel, old hopes spark back to life, and a quiet nudge from his father’s memory reminds him that some chances aren’t lost after all.

    OR

    Post WW2 Polin find love at Christmas, with some unlikely help from Edmund Bridgerton.

    Summary

    Years after their divorce, Penelope Bridgerton is called to A&E as Colin Bridgerton’s emergency contact—only to learn that a benign brain tumour may explain the anger that destroyed their marriage.

    Staying means reopening old wounds. Leaving means abandoning the man she once planned a life with.

    Set in modern London, this is a slow, hard-earned reconciliation about illness, accountability, and choosing each other again—not out of obligation, but love.

    (I got this idea after watching S2 E2 of "The Pitt", went down a rabbit-hole, now here we are.)

    Summary

    Penelope is just a bit ill and quite certain it is only her courses.

    Philippa insists she go for a walk,
    Albion offers to call a doctor,
    Harry suggests they may need a vicar,
    and Prudence forbids her from dying altogether.

    Penelope has had quite enough of the lot of them, but her mother’s diagnosis is, by far, the most ridiculous notion of all.

    Summary

    The day Penelope finally accepted that she was a beta was crushing. She was a romantic at heart and longed for the unwavering connection an alpha had with their omega. She shouldn’t have been surprised, the chance of her presenting as anything else was about as near zero as it could get. Unheard of in the medical community, almost disproven by science.

    She gave herself the night to mourn, to accept that any love story she had would pale in comparison to the ones she yearned for.

    Her only consolation was that Colin Bridgerton was a beta too.

    -

    As betas, Penelope and Colin are used to their relationship being misunderstood by his family but an unexpected heat rippling through the omegas at Aubrey Hall pushes Colin's insecurities to the forefront.

    Summary

    “Penelope!” he calls, shucking his overcoat at the door. He considers for a moment keeping it on, knowing how Penelope likes the figure he cuts in the flowing brown coat, but he cannot abide having any more fabric than strictly necessary between them when he finds her. “Pen!”
    “Sir!” comes Rae’s voice as she appears from the doorway across from the stairs. “Sir, thank goodness. We were worried when you did not return home as scheduled.”
    “Apologies, Rae,” he says to her, smiling as politely as he can manage. “The roads were washed out. Where is Mrs. Bridgerton?”
    “She is in her room, sir,” she starts.
    “Excellent,” he interrupts again. “Please see that no one disturbs Mrs. Bridgerton or myself.”
    “Sir, wait—”
    “Thank you, Rae.” He is already halfway up the stairs, unable to really think or hear properly in his lustful madness. If he had, he would have heard the worry and urgency in his wife’s faithful lady’s maid’s voice. As it is, he keeps going up the stairs, two at a time.
    “Sir!” Rae practically shouts from the bottom of the stairs. “Sir. Wait.”

    Modern Polin AU One shot - Complete ♥ REUPLOAD BC IM AN IDIOT and orphaned this accidentally :/

    Pen has been slowly coming to terms with the Colin-shaped hole in her heart. One evening she gets a call to pick up a drunk Colin from a club.

    "Mmmhm, I swear, Pen... no one makes 'em better than you," he said with a full mouth.
    "If I coulddd, I whhould marry this toastie. Cann can I marry itt? No wait, cannh I marry you?" He said with a mischievous grin.
    It almost sent Penelope into cardiac arrest. This feeling was surely why the word bittersweet was even invented.
    Colin Bridgerton uttered words she had been dreaming of hearing since they were children, fully knowing they held no gravity.
    "Yes, Col, you can marry the toastie, you have my blessing," she replied with a weary smile.

    Summary

    Penelope wakes up Saturday morning with her head absolutely buzzing, she's expected to be hungover but this is a new side effect.

    Burying her head under her pillow, she realises that the buzzing is not from her hangover but its her phone, endless notifications blowing it up. Instagram notifications? Why would she have so many Instagram notifications?

    Penelope vaguely remembers snapping a series of pictures of her, Edwina and Genevieve going wild on the dance floor at the club last night but she wouldn't usually post them to Instagram. God, hopefully she hasn't posted a stray tit or something.

    The number times Colin has been tagged is astounding, it looks as though the post is blowing up. Penelope has no idea how they've even found her post, she rarely has him on her page and never tags him. He does have a few unhinged super fans, maybe they have alerts set up for her posts?

    Jesus, poor Colin. What the fuck has she posted?

    "Colin, El! That reminds me!” Sophie calls out, "Why didn't you tell anyone that Penelope had a shoulder reconstruction? I ran into her as she was making her way home from the hospital with Gen!”

    “What?” Colin was on his feet instantly, holding his phone to his face to try and focus on Eloise. She’d gone red and was blinking at the camera in shock.

    “I had no idea,” she says quietly, “She didn't tell you, Col?”

    “I haven’t heard from her much this trip to be honest. I don’t understand, Eloise. How could you of all people not know?” Colin asks.

    “Uh, we kind of had a fight. I don’t think she's spoken to me in 3 months.”

    “Bloody hell! Colin?” Anthony bites out, “What’s your excuse?”

Colin drowns himself in travel and drink, trying to come to terms with the knowledge that he is a shame to the family. His only reprieve is his friendship with Penelope Featherington, the only person who does not treat him differently because he is a beta. When Colin learns that Penelope is searching for an alpha husband, his entire world is turned upside down.

    Will Colin's buried instincts finally see the light? Or will he lose Penelope forever?

    Summary

    "You might — you might pretend to court me," she says.

    "You — what?" he asks dumbly. He feels dizzy, his mind working slowly as if he is wading through the lake.

    "Just for a few weeks," she explains quickly. "Just to give me — room to breathe. Keep the alphas at bay for a short while."

    She blinks up at him , so pretty and plump, her skin shining like polished porcelain in the moonlight. She has the loveliest little flush upon her chest now, blooming in pink patches that he cannot help but imagine beneath his lips.

    "I shall pretend to court you," Colin repeats slowly, his eyes tracing over the tops of her breasts, his jaw working helplessly. "And you shall let me — let me bite?" He cannot believe the words dropping from his tongue. "Let me — let me play alpha?" There is a sort of ringing in his ears.

    Penelope's eyes go very round then, her breaths coming out quick.

    She nods.

    Summary

    The room was dim, the windows shuttered tight against the outside world. A single desk lamp cast long shadows across the worn wooden table, where two cups of untouched tea had long since gone cold.

    “Do you understand the assignment?” came the voice across from him, low, clipped, and final.

    Colin didn’t blink. “Yes, sir.”

    The man nodded once. “Good. You leave in a week’s time.”

    ~~~

    During World War II, Colin Bridgerton is deployed as a British spy. While his family and Penelope Featherington are left in the dark, only Anthony knows the truth and receives Colin’s coded updates every month until one month, the dispatch never comes. No one knows what has happened, devastating his family and leaving Penelope heartbroken. Will Colin return home and if so will he be the same?
