Summary
Penelope has accidentally joined a cult.
A hapless, bumbling family cult that has her tied up as a “virgin” sacrifice to a demon.
Never mind that she’s neither a virgin nor remotely devout: they insist she’s the chosen one.
But the real surprise isn’t the ritual; it’s Colin, a shy, awkward demon who might be the least terrifying thing about this whole fiasco.

Calendar Chaos by fullysplendid for Totes_Papilio
Fandoms: Bridgerton (TV), Bridgerton Series - Julia Quinn
21 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
Every December Colin sends his friend Penelope a fun advent calendar – something silly toys or tasty treats. It’s their thing. A little tradition which started years ago.
Only this year when the calendar arrives Penelope’s heart stops. Her brain melts. Her whole world turned on its head.
This calendar didn’t contain toys or treats. This calendar didn’t contain anything at all, except written suggestions.
Sexy suggestions.
Because apparently her friend Colin had decided to send her a sexy advent calendar for horny couples.
———————
“I can’t believe after all these years this is how he tells you he’s down to fuck.” Gen laughs like a maniac. “I’m not sure if he’s smooth or psychotic?”
“Shut the fuck up, Gen! Shut the fuck up.”
She needs to concentrate.

Summary
What if Colin were forthright under the willow tree? This story follows canon up to that pivotal moment, then takes a different path. Colin and Penelope confess their feelings earlier, setting their romance in motion not in secret, but in full view of their wonderfully nosy families. There’s still tension and a touch of angst, but better communication means more flirting, laughter, and much less pining. With Benedict as wingman and both the Bridgertons and Featheringtons weighing in (helpfully or not), their brand of support.

When he finally spoke his voice was a low rumble. She could practically feel it vibrating through her whole body.
“You’re such a good girl, Pen.”
And fuck, she knew in that second she was done for. There was no returning to normal after this.

Summary
“But when am I getting married? And who am I getting married to?”
“More like who would want to marry you?” Prudence mumbles as Philippa snickers along unkindly.
Penelope frowns, for a moment she wonders if her mum will tell Prudence to stop, that being mean also isn’t ladylike, but she doesn’t do that, she just ignores it. “Well, you’re a little too young to be getting married right now, that will have to wait until you’re a bit older, but as for who you’re going to marry… I suppose we’ll have to wait and see.”
Two days after the wedding, Penelope knocks a boy off his bike by accident with her yellow hat. He laughs with her about it instead of yelling at like she’d assumed he would, and the moment she hears his laugh she knows that she’s met the love of her life, and the minute she opens the door she tells her mum that she knows exactly who she’s going to marry one day.
She’s going to marry Colin Bridgerton, the flowers said so.
OR
At nearly every single wedding she goes to, Penelope catches the bouquet. These are the various times it happens, and a couple of times when it doesn't.

Summary
"Everyone has their unrequited love story, yeah? My best friend, she had a brother. Well, she had four brothers, but there was one in particular. He was like the sun… and I—I was constantly pulled into his orbit."
It was a throwaway line in a throwaway interview that nobody was meant to read.
A story about missed connections and growing older and what happens when you finally stop running.

Summary
Colin has grown accustomed to his wife’s replies. In fact, he likes them very much. Sometimes, he believes he knows them better than he knows his own self:
Yes, darling.
Do not be foolish, Colin.
Dearest, could you fetch Elliot’s rattle?
It is only when they move their effects back to Penelope’s childhood home that he learns there are some she has yet kept back from him.
For those unaware, emotional intimacy very much turns them on.

Don't Want to Say Goodbye by TradingGlances
Fandoms: Bridgerton (TV), Bridgerton Series - Julia Quinn
11 Jun 2026

Summary
“Dearest,” his mother’s voice comes out a little louder. The hand on his arm squeezes in emphasis. Colin drags his eyes away from the beautiful vision of his fiancée— his fiancée! — and looks towards his mother.
“I got Humboldt to fetch you a cravat. I thought you might want to be fully dressed before we escort Miss Featherington home.” His mother presses a plain white scrap of cloth into Colin’s limp hand.
“Home?” Colin inquires, at a complete loss to his mother’s meaning. Penelope is home. He already escorted her up from the street and into Bridgerton House. Pen's cloak is already settled in the closet amongst their own.
OR
A tiny introspective about what occurs after Colin announces his engagement to his family in the Bridgerton drawing room. In which he is mostly being a pouty loverboi about having to say goodbye to Pen.

Summary
During his travels Penelope and Colin talk. A lot. They text and exchange emails and the occasional phone or video call if the time zone allows it. But now, face to face, Colin can feel that Penelope seems distant, like she’s putting some kind of wall between them. He tries to rationalise it as a result of her having trouble coexisting with so many Bridgertons, so he gives her time. But as days go by, Colin can’t help but feel like he doesn’t truly know Penelope now.
OR
Confined at Aubrey Hall during the pandemic, Colin has to confront the fact that he doesn't seem to know Penelope as well as he thought when he discovers that she has been the Bridgertons' official hairdresser for years.
