This fic is as addictive as I imagine crack cocaine to be, though with hopefully fluffier consequences 😍

Summary
When Eloise announces she wants to move again, it coincides with Colin's desire to purchase a London flat. It makes sense for them to move in with him financially, but Eloise takes some convincing and as Colin and Penelope work together to persuade her, they fall back into a closer friendship. Meanwhile, Penelope's casual work hook-up starts pushing for something more but her dormant teenage crush on Colin has come back in full force. Still, she has to be realistic, right?
But when Colin makes her an interesting offer, it has the potential to change everything. It also might burn everything down. She won't know until she tries.

Look, at this point you should simply drop whatever you're doing and go and read all of missparker's Polin fics - they are, quite simply, the best (thank you Tina Turner) 💙💛

Summary
It’s clear to Colin and everyone around them that George still has feelings for Marina but it’s unrequited. Marina promised Colin it is unrequited, murmuring that she just feels bad that George is unable to move past his first love.
It’s pathetic. Colin moved on from Tessa easily. Anthony moved on from Siena. Daphne moved on from Frederick.
“Penelope!” Portia called out, waving her daughter over.
Colin throws back the last of his drink.
And Penelope moved on from him.
-
After spending the last five years as a reluctant participant in a love triangle, Colin finds himself suddenly single at thirty-five. With a bruised ego and a broken heart, he's forced to rebuild his life.
The perfect place to start is by fixing his friendship with his former best friend, Penelope Featherington, who finds herself in desperate need of a flatmate.

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).Bookmarked by hibernatingbear

Summary
Penelope hauls ass through Kensington, pushing past yummy mummies and tourists, yanking her phone out of her bag haphazardly as she fast-walks. Diving through a group of Italian tourists trying to take a photo outside of Harrods, Penelope opens up her period tracker app absently. Her vision fuzzes and focuses on the little red blobs hover over the dates.
Huh. She's late. By five days. Which — she's not exactly dedicated to remembering to mark down her periods in this stupid app (Eloise told her not to use it anyway, says the company is probably selling her data onto advertisers so her personalised ads can sync up with her cycle). And her periods aren't particularly regular.
She is so busy staring at the red blobs she almost walks into a posh old lady wearing a Chanel jacket coming out of Harrods. She apologises and hurries on, opening Whatsapp.
Pen: period's late. what if I'm pregnant
Edwina: haha. with whose sperm? you can't get pregnant from masturbating to pictures of pedro pascal
Penelope swallows, a lump in her throat. Because — right. She never told Edwina about Colin, did she?
OR: the one where Penelope gets an abortion
