Summary
"So…." He awkwardly starts, "What exactly seems to be the issue here, sweetheart?"
God, he's so…dirty. His arms are covered in grease, smeared all the way up to his shoulder. He can barely wipe his hands clean with the blue cloth. His hair? It's greasy. Probably from all heat and well, being under all the cars that are here.
"Uh—I can barely get her to start lately," Penelope mutters. "There is this awful screeching when I get her to start. If I keep trying, eventually it starts. I'm sorry, I don't really know a ton about cars."
The one where Penelope Featherington breaks down and meets pervy mechanic Colin Bridgerton.

Summary
"I just wanted to make sure you didn't need any help," she smiles at him. "You have no idea how many guys have passed out in here."
"I—um—yeah," he stutters. "I—bet."
Smooth. That's the only thing he could really come up with? A few stutters and I bet? He pushes the middle of his glasses up to rest more comfortably on his nose. Putting his hands into his pockets, he tries to flash her a quick easy smile.
"Is this your first time?"
"Uhhhh," he starts. "First time? Like in here?"
The one where a lonely Colin Bridgerton visits a strip club, only to become a regular to a stripper named Penelope.

Summary
Colin lifts his hand with the cigarette to his lips at the same that his eyes open, his head turns, and he first notices Penelope standing there watching him.
"Fuck," he mutters before looking away from her and to the window. "I'm sorry."
She isn't sure what he's apologizing for really—for smoking or fighting with Marina or maybe both. Regardless, it breaks a little part of her to see him looking so dejected and sad. There's a light missing from him, a weight pulling him down and making him seem smaller. It's not fair, though. He's so inherently good. He doesn't deserve to feel like this. He doesn't deserve to be treated like this. He deserves—
Penelope can't help but blink in surprise even at just the meandering path of her own thoughts, at the idea that just popped into her head about what exactly she thinks Colin Bridgerton deserves at this moment and what exactly she'd like to do to make him feel better. It's ridiculous, right? She shouldn't… She couldn't… But what if she did?
--
Flatmates Penelope and Colin take a winding, complicated, messy path on their friends to lovers journey.

Summary
Colin's brothers, helpful sorts that they are, decide there's only one cure for his lingering virginity: a trip to a brothel.
The plan goes about as well as expected.
Convinced he's the only man in England incapable of wanting a stranger, Colin spends the next week wondering if something is terribly wrong with him.
Then Penelope Featherington makes one scandalously amusing joke, and Colin discovers that perhaps the problem was never a lack of desire.
Perhaps he's simply been in love with his best friend.
