    Summary

    *Colin has sent a pic*

    "O-Oh."

    "What?" Eloise Bridgerton, her best friend since childhood, mumbled from behind her.

    Penelope’s cheeks burned red hot as she realized that she was still staring at the picture of Colin only dressed in his suit trousers with his braces hanging down from his hips. His chest was completely bare, except for the dusting of dark chest hair she suddenly and desperately wanted to run her fingers through.

    Damn, he was fit!

    ;) just giving you a taste of what you missed last night when you decided to abandon me to spend the night with the girls."

    I'm sorry...
    Are you FLEXING your abs?!"

    I'm just giving the people what they want. :D

    Or... Hours before their wedding, Colin sends Penelope a pic of him shirtless and it drives her absolutely feral.

    Summary

    You think I do not want your help? I want nothing more! But I want you to help me for the right reasons!”

     

    “You are my wife! I took vows to protect you! What could possibly be a better reason than that?”

     

    Tears sprung to her eyes as she all but shouted, “and that in itself is the problem!” 

     

    “You are not making any sense, Penelope!” her husband yelled. “I do not understand you! I am trying to help you and I am still somehow failing you- What do you want from me?!”

     

    “I want you to help because I am me! Not because I am your wife!”

     

    Silence engulfed the room as the words settled in the air between them. All Colin did was look at her, eyes wide, as if she were a painting he was trying to process the meaning of. Penelope wished to speak, but every word she thought to say rose to her throat and lodged itself there, refusing to move even an inch. Finally, in a voice so small she nearly missed it, Colin asked, “what do you mean?”

     

    What if Colin and Penelope reconciled a little earlier in episode 8?

    Summary

    After Colin discovers she is Lady Whistledown, Penelope cuts all ties and runs. A reimagining of part two of season three.

    Despite the song lyrics below THIS IS A HAPPILY EVER AFTER. Yes, there is drama and angst and pain but Colin and Pen do get their well-earned HEA!!!
    --
    We're all victims of the way it hurts when the love is gone
    Forever is not for everyone
    We can't undo what's been said and done

    But I am a witness to love's death
    There's no blood, there's no body, there's nothing left
    Oh, my darling, don't you ever forget
    I wasn't prepared for the end

    This is what it looks like
    When two people decide
    That the love has died
    Oh, the love has died

    Lover's Death - Annaca and Frederick Lloyd.
