After a few days of him acting like a total buffoon she confronts him and finds out what's the matter: he's in love with her best friend Pen. But the catch is that Pen is pretty close-mouthed about her crushes and El doesn't know if she reciprocates. El hatches a plan to find out if Pen has a type and chaos Colin ensues.

The Sounds of Life Force by CaraMia886

Summary
Colin is a naturally musical guy. From singing at the family piano, to appreciating the sounds of nature as he travels, to hearing rhythm wherever he goes, to dancing like nobody's watching. He appreciates a good sound. There's a reason that while he was away, he and Pen communicated mostly through voice notes because he's always found the sound of her voice soothing. It was what he missed most of all while he was traveling, and when he comes back for good, he's relieved that Eloise is moving out so he can take over her room in her shared flat with Pen. Of course, things are different since he went away and he's surprised by what he finds, and by what sounds resonate most with him.

Nuzzled Noses by WrensSymphony
Fandoms: Bridgerton Series - Julia Quinn, Bridgerton (TV)

Summary
From the moment of their accidental meeting as young children through the trauma of hurt and loss, the heartbreak of adolescence, and the confusion of young adulthood, Colin and Penelope's connection anchors them both.
This story aims for hurt and comfort in equal measure as it follows the "platonic best friends" (really, though?) as they grow up, with time jumps between each chapter as we see them navigate their lives together. Their story is one of true friends to lovers, where lines blur and it's hard to see where friendship ends and love begins, because perhaps they've been together all along.
*CW: This is NOT a dark fic, but does contain mature themes, specifically a child abuse storyline.*

Summary
'I could coach you.'
'What?' her head snapped up to his, her eyes wide with surprise.
'I could… I mean, I could show you a few different ways so that you don't feel so out of your depth,'
'You want to show me different sex positions?' her voice was disbelieving.
'Yes,'

Summary
At the end of the day, it's just biology.
Penelope tells herself this endlessly. She also tells herself that Colin Bridgerton has looked right through her for ten years, that asking him to help her through her heat is purely transactional, and that she is definitely, definitely not still in love with him.

Summary
"Now," the boy (Colin, Colin, Colin) says, as he eases himself to his feet languorously, so he looms and teeters upon the wall. Penelope's breath catches in her throat — she stares up at him in frozen terror as he reaches a long arm out to snatch the top of the cherry tree, his body bowing elegantly into the nothingness of open air. One wrong move and he will tumble, she is sure of it. "Penelope with the Greek name and lovely face and hair like fire," (Penelope wonders if she might die from blushing), "if I throw you down some of the sweetest cherries from the top of the tree," (he begins to pluck and twist the green stems, the branches shaking precariously), "the ones the sun has kissed to perfect ripeness, the kind of cherries you have never tasted before in your life," (he pops one in his mouth and gives the rest of his speech pouted around it), "even as the daughter of a duke who always tastes the very best of everything — well, do you think you might favour me with a smile?"
Oh, she thinks (for even at fourteen she is decisive; knows her mind well). I am in love.
On the day she finds out she is to be married, Penelope falls in love
