Summary
Violet Bridgerton has had enough of her three eldest sons refusing to engage with the marriage mart. She has seen her daughters Daphne and Francesca married in the last four seasons but she wants more grandchildren and she wants them now.
And so, in the week before the whole family and ton are due to descend on Aubrey Hall for the annual Hearts and Flowers Ball, Lady Violet has invited a select group of eligible ladies to the Hall to participate in a series of challenges where the ultimate prize is up for grabs: marriage to one of the three oldest Bridgerton brothers. Penelope Featherington is on her fourth year on the mart with no prospects.

multichap fic I will correct the chapter count on update.
Whistledown exists, Colin didn’t make any foolish declarations in the Featherington gardens, Penelope and Eloise are grand. Prudence is still unmarried. This started out as a purely crack fic but I accidentally kept adding plot and making myself cry. There is still quite a lot of crack though. If you crave period accuracy, sorry. I researched some bits with fervour and then hugged an anachronism or two for the giggles.
I’m trying to be consistent, but I make the rules and my brain is wonky).- Language:

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.

She stills, eyeliner poised in her hand, and contemplates answering. He never texts this early, so it is likely whatever he needs is important.
But she is running late.

Summary
Spanning years, cities, and more than a few heartbreaks, Just Pen is a slow-burn story about friendship, timing, and the impossible art of falling for someone who’s always been right in front of you.
Penelope Featherington has spent her life half in the glow of the Bridgertons — a family as chaotic as they are captivating — and half in her own shadow. Colin Bridgerton has never quite known what he’s looking for, only that he hasn’t found it yet.
As they grow up and grow apart, their paths twist through missteps, messy relationships, and the long, clumsy process of becoming the kind of people who might finally deserve each other.
This is a story about first loves, second chances, and how sometimes the right person is the one you’ve spent a lifetime overlooking.

Summary
George and Bertha Russell cannot get divorced.
When his parents drop the massive bomb that they’re splitting up, Larry Russell uproots his life in Boston to move back to New York, because he’s determined to get them to see they belong together. And his plan is foolproof – all he needs is a woman willing to play the part of his fiancée, so his parents will have no choice but to see each other for all kinds of wedding related activities.
Marian Brook had no intention of agreeing to fake marry Larry Russell – at least, not until she runs into her ex boyfriend at her absolute lowest, and blurts out she’s engaged. Now they’re tangled up in each other’s lives, trying to get his parents back together, and convince her ex she’s happy and moved on.
If the lines between real and fake get a bit blurry, it really isn’t their fault, is it?
Larian Modern AU. George/Bertha, Gladys/Hector on the side.

Summary
“What even happened between you and my brother, anyway?” Eloise asked, shrewd eyes watching as Penelope pretended to read the thick volume in front of her, resolutely not looking at her friend.
Memories filled Penelope’s mind, flashes of passionate nights. Their heavy sighs, those gentle smiles, even the words pressed into her skin. If she focused enough, she could still imagine she felt his breath caressing her neck, the way his fingers wound around her hair.
She shook her head, wishing the images away.
“Nothing,” She replied, keeping her gaze down. “Nothing at all.”
One day, she told herself, she would believe it when she said it.
*****
Friends since childhood, Penelope and Colin have remained close all through university. But this year, it seems they're set to get even closer than ever.
After agreeing to sleep with each other and tell no-one, Penelope finds it even harder to ignore her hopeless devotion to Colin and wonders how her heart will ever survive it.Bookmarked by Janefi

Summary
"They definitely put up with me as much as they do for you, since I’m your best friend and all.”
“I wouldn’t say that, I’m pretty sure my mum and my siblings just genuinely like you,” El tells her before frowning. “Colin definitely likes you.”
“W-what?”
Colin. The Bridgerton that Pen is most definitely in love with, and has been since the moment they met. Actually, Colin was the first Bridgerton that she met. It had been a few days after she and her family moved in, the ghastly yellow hat her mum had forced on her flew straight into his face as he skateboarded by, knocking him into a puddle of mud. Her heart dropped, she ran straight over to him babbling an unintelligible apology, but to her surprise, he just laughed. And the moment Penelope heard it she fell in love. Eloise is her best friend in the entire world, obviously, but Colin never fails to bring a blush to her face and butterflies to her stomach, even when he’s not there.
Case and point, this conversation. Luckily. Eloise doesn’t seem to notice. “Oh yeah, he really likes you"
5 times other people tell Penelope how Colin feels about her, and the one time he tells her himself.

Summary
“I don’t want your family thinking there’s something going on between us,” she spits out, the words sharper than she intends, the irritation evident in her tone.
“Oh, and whyever would they think that?” Colin replies with mock incredulity, a roll of his eyes that only serves to sharpen her frustration.
The words rush out of her before she can stop them, too fast, too angry. “Because of how you’re acting!”
At this, Colin seems to straighten, his interest piqued, as if her acknowledgment of his behavior is some strange victory for him. “How am I acting?” he asks, a playful edge creeping into his voice.
“Like some lunatic who can’t take his eyes off me!” The words spill out faster now, a tide she can’t hold back. “Don’t think I haven’t noticed the looks you’ve been throwing at me. Teasing me, like it’s some game—like sitting across from you at dinner wasn’t torture enough!”
OR
One night changes everything between Penelope and Colin. Now, Penelope is left questioning how their friendship can ever go back to what it was—while Colin is determined to show her that friendship is the last thing he wants.

A Scandalous Engagement by wildechilde17

Summary
In a regency society where debutantes must be Demonstrated, publicly, intimately, and without shame, Penelope Featherington was prepared to retire from society quietly. No husband, no fuss, no future.
Then came Colin Bridgerton.
Now engaged, very suddenly, and very publicly, the pair must navigate the treacherous waters of London high society, Bridgerton family chaos, and their own inconveniently escalating desire to do scandalous things that might force a special license.
Colin is many things: cheerful, charming, and endlessly obliging, but not nearly as shallow as he appears. Beneath the breezy wit and careless smile is a man who desperately wants to be good, for others, for Penelope, for himself. He doesn't mean to be rakish. He only wants to be enough. But every time he looks at Penelope, he finds a new reason to ruin her. Behind a curtain. On a chaise. Maybe during tea with Lady Danbury.
Unfortunately, his entire family is determined to prevent any impropriety until the wedding.
Colin Bridgerton has never followed rules, and he’s never met a curve or confession from Penelope he didn’t want to ruin himself on.

Summary
Colin and Penelope hook up and shit gets complicated. But at least the sex is good.
--
Penelope was standing at the edge of a cliff, debating if she should fall. She knew he was baiting her. Why he was baiting her, she didn’t quite understand yet. At the end of the day, whether it was the alcohol, the endless sense of frustration, or moreso just the idea that she had nothing left to lose, she decided to leap.
“I wasn’t. I wasn’t thinking of them when I drank.”
Colin turned his head away from her and looked out at the street in front of them, a smile pulling at his lips. “No? Well that’s interesting.”
“Is it?”
He faced her again, taking half a step forward. “Who were you thinking of?” His eyes drilled into hers with surgical precision, the dark blue getting darker.
She took a deep breath, feeling the blood heating in her veins.
“You.”
“Me?”
She nodded pathetically, any attempts to be playful and witty blown away with the breeze.
“You want to fuck me, Pen?” His smirk was subtle, but wicked, his words sending a delicious zing down between her legs again where she throbbed at even the notion.

And while, yes, he may have the floppy hair and bumbling Britishness required of a Richard Curtis character, the current state of his love life (nonexistent) has Colin convinced his Hugh Grant moment is still a long way off.
