Wouldst thou like to live deliciously? by SamHandwich, StrawberryWhorecake
Fandoms: Bridgerton (TV), Bridgerton Series - Julia Quinn
25 Jul 2026

Summary
After relocating to New England, the Featheringtons are cast out of the village and left to fend for themselves through the brutal winter. Then Penelope’s sister Philippa goes missing and no one believes her when she tells them what she saw—a barefoot woman in rags who led her sister away into the wood, never to be seen again.
Penelope bears the brunt of the family’s despair and turns to her dreams for an escape, where a kind, gentle man visits her and encourages her to seek a life full of pleasure beyond contentment.
It’s an irresistible offer, even though it begins to feel like a seduction rather than mere comfort.

King of the Swing by Mariequitecontrarie, MsCurious67

Summary
Penelope Featherington heard Colin swear he would never court her—and decided to carry it in silence. Colin is certain she never heard him at all. At least, that's what he tells himself.
OR
Colin Bridgerton’s courting lessons grow more outlandish by the day. The fan. The walk. Archery, of all things. And now, God help her, the swing. Yet Penelope cannot bring herself to refuse him—even knowing no gentleman in all of London is searching for a wife who can swing like a lady. She has never been able to say no to him. And the trouble is, she never will.
Swing lessons. Colin cannot decide which is madder—that he proposed such a thing, or that Penelope agreed to play along. There is nothing practical in the exercise, nothing academic, nothing that will bring her closer to the one thing she wants—to be chosen by some other man. If he is honest, that has never once been the point. He has only ever wanted to keep her close a little longer. The trouble is, Colin is rarely honest, least of all with himself.

Summary
Penelope is convinced to attend the university’s annual winter carnival under the promise she’ll see the rarely-in-London-anymore Colin Bridgerton. When she does spot him, however, he’s running the football team’s kissing booth.
Which makes her want to throw up, quite frankly.
Perplexingly, it also puts certain things into motion Colin discovers he is not prepared for.

Summary
"You might — you might pretend to court me," she says.
"You — what?" he asks dumbly. He feels dizzy, his mind working slowly as if he is wading through the lake.
"Just for a few weeks," she explains quickly. "Just to give me — room to breathe. Keep the alphas at bay for a short while."
She blinks up at him , so pretty and plump, her skin shining like polished porcelain in the moonlight. She has the loveliest little flush upon her chest now, blooming in pink patches that he cannot help but imagine beneath his lips.
"I shall pretend to court you," Colin repeats slowly, his eyes tracing over the tops of her breasts, his jaw working helplessly. "And you shall let me — let me bite?" He cannot believe the words dropping from his tongue. "Let me — let me play alpha?" There is a sort of ringing in his ears.
Penelope's eyes go very round then, her breaths coming out quick.
She nods.

I Scream at You in Poetry by indiaalphawhiskey

Summary
Colin maintained that his recent bout of lunacy was, in its entirety, all Penelope Featherington’s fault. For, had she not been so very resolute in her refusal to speak to him after an off-season's worth of unanswered letters, it was wholly possible that – after having overheard his mother lamenting both the state of the Featherington baronry and the effects of Lady Featherington’s now rather indiscreet baby race on Penelope’s chances at a felicitous (if practical) match – Colin would have acted far more rationally than to orchestrate a not-so-clandestine, not-so-very-appropriate, and also not-at-all-truthful midnight tryst between them in the orangery at Vauxhall Gardens.
(Maybe.)
After all, if it was simply time Penelope needed to work her way towards forgiving him and restoring their once warm friendship, as his mother had suggested… Well, then a lifetime together would certainly suit that, with change to spare, wouldn’t it?
— or, Penelope is a storm Colin is determined to weather. A different take on the entrapment of it all.

Summary
As long as he can remember, Colin's had an insatiable sense of wanderlust. He's always had a calling to go out and look for something, even when he was a little boy and sneaking off and getting lost in the forest stretching out across the grounds of his family's country estate. There was something out there waiting for him, something that he's meant to be searching for, something that will give him that sense of purpose and fulfillment that he's been missing all his life. And this job scouting minimally explored planets allows him to do just that. The only problem, however, is that he has absolutely no sense at all of what that "something" is that he's meant to be looking for.

Summary
"Pen?" he asks gently. Penelope looks up to see him gazing down, soft and wide-eyed at her, one of his oiled curls falling across his forehead.
"What if someone hears us?" she asks softly.
"Well, we must be very, very quiet then," Colin whispers.
Penelope gets to her feet, feeling suddenly shy. He has never been in her bedroom before, she realises. And he is so tall, even in his socks, and she is standing before him in nothing but her cotton nightgown.
She drops her gaze to his chest. "You shouldn't have come. It's too dangerous. We are too close to being gone."
"That is why I couldn't stay away." His voice is thick with yearning. Colin's voice is always thick with something, some large feeling. Penelope thinks she could tell each of his emotions apart by just the length of his vowels or the way he pouts out his plosives. "I wished… I wished to spend this night together."

"I want to feel you inside me."
When Penelope made her occasional and very ladylike visit to Colin Bridgerton's chambers, she did not expect to run into the man who was supposed to be off on his Grand Tour. Nor did she expect to find him naked. And she most definitely did not expect him to demand she lie down in his bed before him.
