Summary
Pen sends a risky text to Colin even though they're at a family gathering. Even though they're not together. Even though they have never, EVER done anything of the sort before. But it's just a joke, so it's probably fine, right? Right???

“Erm… well… fuck. Ok. Colin.” She clears her throat. “I’m so sorry, but this is a call of shame.”
“A what?”
“A call of shame. I might… I might have chlamydia.”
“Oh.” MY FUCKING GOD. He doesn’t say that part out loud but he thinks it very loudly. “Ok.” She’s going to be freaking out.
“No. No, not ok. Not ok at all. We fucked!”
“I remember.” It is absolutely top of the wank bank.
“And not like sensible adults.”

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.

Summary
At Eloise's wedding, Colin hatches a plan to pretend to be dating Penelope, creating wild and elaborate stories. However, when one story hits too close to be fake, the pair have to face some home truths.
("You want me to fake date you at your sister's wedding?"
"Yes." He says simply, in all seriousness. "But we commit to the bit. Fully. We make it weird. Every crazy idea you could possibly have, we do. No matter how wacky, we tell people about it. We could have a lot of fun with it."
Selfishly, she thinks it would show her what it would be like to be his. Just for one night.)

Kiss and goodbye by Kaitlin_With_a_K

Summary
Ignoring his impending death from embarrassment, Colin quickly put on his hazards and got out of the car, moving to the back to remove Penelope’s suitcase from the trunk. As he joined her on the sidewalk he saw her snickering at a new sign right next to where he’d parked.
In bright blue, the sign proudly stated:
Kiss and goodbye
(No kisses above 3 minutes!)
Colin blinked at the words, reading them a few times in his head.
Penelope was still giggling when Colin’s brain simply stopped functioning and he let his mouth take over.
“Well, I guess we have to kiss.”
She blinked at him.
He gestured uselessly at the sign with one hand. “The sign. We have to kiss goodbye.”
***
They HAD to kiss goodbye! 🙂↕️

Summary
“It’s not really a date,” Eloise corrects impatiently, chucking a piece of crisp at him in annoyance. She snaps her fingers as she attempts to find the right word. “More of like, like a -”
“A date,” Colin deadpans, swiping the last biscuit from the tin. He points it at her before taking a thoughtful chew. “Call it what you want, El. Twist it whichever way, it’s still a date.”
Or the one where Penelope is very hesitant about dipping her toes back into the dating pool and Eloise comes up with the (not so) perfect solution to ease her nerves - Penelope should go out on practice dates!
Enter: Eloise’s brother, and their current house guest, Colin.
Exit: Penelope’s sanity.

So lovely. Warning - Penelope is just out of a seven year relationship with Debling, but it’s mostly okay. Don’t worry, you won’t hate it.

When Penelope Featherington arrives at Aubrey Hall for Christmastide, she expects warmth, laughter, and perhaps a few stolen glances from her dearest friend’s brother.
What she does not expect is to be informed that an older version of herself, visibly pregnant and accompanied by a copper-haired child, has already visited.
Colin Bridgerton, for his part, is behaving… oddly.
Time, it seems, has a sense of humor.
