Summary
"Can I help you find something?"
Penelope Featherington jumps at the sound of a voice coming from behind her. She shouldn't be surprised, however, that the young, dark-haired, friendly-looking man who was behind the counter earlier is checking on her now. She's been standing frozen for the last few minutes in front of a wide display of items lined up on a wall that are entirely foreign to her. They're entirely foreign to her because she's a virgin in a sex shop, and suddenly the grand plans she had coming in here today all feel very, very stupid.
--
Or, virgin Pen wanders into Colin's sex shop one day in an unusual beginning to their happily ever after.

Summary
“Are you sure you want to do it like this, Pen?”
Penelope paused, giving the question the consideration the weight she knew it deserved. This was a big deal. It was asking a lot of both of them.
“Yes,” she said, quietly but firmly. “I’m sure.”///
Penelope has a sexual fantasy, and she and Colin work through it together

Summary
Penelope Featherington is packing up her life and moving to Dublin — new country, new city, new people, a Creative Writing MA at Trinity, and a real shot at finishing her novel. Fresh start, clean slate, no complications. She had a spreadsheet. It had tabs. She had thought of everything.
She had not thought of Colin. She had definitely not thought about living with him.

Summary
"Carter, why don’t you enlighten us on where exactly you’ve been and what exactly you’ve been doing?”
Trying to ascertain what it is he wants her to say, she takes a moment first to read his eyes. “I’ve been with you almost the entire time sir.”
The visible tension in his body tells her that his emotions are still firmly fixed in pissed off mode. “Well, obviously not.”
Clearly something isn’t right.

I would like to thank all of the lovely ladies of the Jackfic chat (you all know who you are) who talked to me and inspired me at all hours of the morning while I stayed up trying to finish this. I would especially like to thank everyone who read over the first few pages and then begged me for more. And most importantly, my wonderful beta readers, Lorie, Heidi, AJ and the magnificent work of my two full-service beta's on this one, Dee and Sue Corkill.
This is my first adult fic - and my first fic in this fandom. Looking back, I think it royally sucks, but as the title states, there IS a first time for everything....

Summary
Penelope Featherington has been quietly in love with Colin Bridgerton for nine years. She's written it all down—every small moment, every unreturned feeling—in a document meant for her eyes only. Colin, meanwhile, has spent those same years being charming and oblivious.
Then Colin calls off his wedding and accidentally discovers what Penelope's been hiding. Suddenly, he can't stop thinking about the woman he never noticed. He wants to know her—really know her. And Penelope has no idea why he's finally paying attention.
As friendship turns into something more, Colin faces an impossible problem: he's falling for her, but she doesn't know how he learned to see her. The truth might destroy everything. But the lies might be worse.

What was meant to be a swift countryside jaunt for a Featherington cousin’s wedding quickly unravels into a comedy of relentless relatives, paper-thin walls, bumpy roads, and one very inconvenient storm.

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 quiet for a long while after he nodded his head and confirmed he was inquiring about whether or not she has changed her mind about having a baby with him.
"I…" she starts before swallowing once. "Well, I suppose as the years have gone on… I have imagined it a time or two, yes."
Colin knows she is telling the truth, and for the first time in a long time, he is also able to read her and surmise there is more still she is holding back.
"Is that something you wish for?" he asks cautiously. "A babe? One of your own?"
Pen's big, pale blue eyes blink at him twice slowly before she starts nibbling on her lip in a decidedly nervous gesture. "That is… We did not… We married for other purposes. I do not expect—"
"I am not asking what you expect," he interrupts, keeping his tone gentle, though, so as not to scare her out of this spell of vulnerability he's found her in tonight. "I am asking simply what you desire for yourself. Do you want a baby, Pen?"
"Yes."
--
Or, regency era Penelope and Colin have been in marriage of convenience for five years and decide to have a child together—platonically of course.
