Summary
“Good,” Colin’s mouth curves upward as he hums, using his pen to underline ‘writers block.’ He leans forward, hands on his knees as he meets her eyes. “So, I'm thinking…while we’re both here, what if we swapped genres? You write a romance novel, and I will write one of your realistic fiction books–that way, the change in what kind of thing we’re writing about will break both of us out of this…creative lapse in judgement.”
Penelope snorts, raising her eyebrows in complete and true disbelief. “Me…write a romance novel?” She says, her voice flat. “There’s no way you’re being serious.”
“Fine. But we make it a contest. We have to finish this book by August and whoever sells the most copies wins. The loser has to endorse the book of the person who wins, repeatedly. I’m talking social media, press tours, when you’re giving out recommendations at the Notting hill bookshop, all of it,” Penelope argues firmly. “I want my name and the name of my books to be in your mouth, constantly.”
Colin, looking a little awe struck by the initiative she’s taken, grins proudly. “Deal.”

Summary
"Bet I could still catch you," he tells her and she glowers at him but he can see the little twitch in her pout. She wants to smile. He feels good. "Now, come on. Give me a hug. I haven't seen you in forever."
As he wraps his arms around her, gathers all her plushness to his chest, his nose is filled with her scent.
And Colin Bridgerton forgets the performance. Forgets that he has to be careful with her. Forgets that his family are about two feet away.
Because she smells fucking divine. Not the right word, surely — too exalted for the earthiness, the rich salt that makes his jaw work and his tongue press to the roof of his mouth and his fingers dig into the rolls on her back. Does she always smell like this, he wonders — this dirty, bright and cloying — or did she just forget deodorant? He can't recall — can't recall anything, except the vivid musk of her, fresh and sweet like the cut stalks of flowers, sweat and tang and — fuck — he's hard. Hard and leaking, immediately and so profusely it kind of feels like he's pissed himself. Fuck. Fuck.
OR: Colin comes home from travelling and realises he likes the way Penelope smells

Summary
Penelope Featherington is an expert at being invisible. Deep in the throes of her PhD research, away from friends and family in a small Aberdeen attic, she has perfected the act of hiding her struggles from everyone. When a trip to London confirms her worst fears, she retreats to her cosy sanctuary, ready to let the world forget her entirely.
But someone was paying closer attention than she realised.
While everyone else accepted her polite texts and vague excuses, Colin Bridgerton noticed. Haunted by a moment of thoughtless betrayal and a sudden, terrifying need to bridge the distance between them, he follows her into the cold Scottish rain to join her under the rafters of her tiny attic.Bookmarked by dhs913

Summary
Colin and Penelope are cheating on their respective partners with each other and neither knows how to stop.
--
Colin's lips find her neck from behind as his hand trails down the front of her body. She grips the counter on either side of the sink, eyeing herself in the mirror. No words are exchanged. He looks up and catches her eye as his fingers dip below her knickers and swipe across her clit. It’s immediate ecstasy.
A drug.
An addiction.
Colin rolls her sensitive nub lazily between his fingers for a few moments, checking to see how wet she is before she nods and he pushes back, fishing his wallet out of his back pocket, producing a condom. He’s gotten really good at refreshing his stash each time they used one, especially after one horrifying instance where he’d forgotten, and they’d had to resort to other tactics to satisfy them, lamenting the missed opportunity for him to fill her properly.

Summary
Colin and Penelope had an unlikely friendship with a side of purely inquisitive, deeply scientific fascination. On Penelope's part anyway. It was just an infatuation. Because of course she hadn’t fallen in love with him when she was eleven, or fifteen, or twenty-five.
That would be ridiculous.
They were just friends. That’s how friends behave.
Right?
But what if the fabric of their being was tied to the other? And even after the first fracture they both held on? What if it all came down to timing?
OR:
Penelope thinks this is the closest she’ll ever get to him.
Colin thinks this is the closest she’ll ever let him get.

Summary
In a world where life is moving rapidly, you’re lucky if you find the one person who will steady life around you. Mute it. Give you peace.
Sometimes that person is the only reason you walked into that bar in Queens.
Sometimes that person was there to prove everything you thought about yourself was wrong.It’s the law of inevitability— a key component of The Improbability Principle, which states that among all possible outcomes of a random event, at least one must occur.
A life of decisions and situations will always bring you here: to the person you were bound to be changed by, forever.This story follows two people who are running in opposite directions, but in turn are looking for exactly the same thing.
This is the Art of Falling.
And this is the Art of Falling out of love.
A spectre of probabilities that lead to where you least expect it.
Or
Penelope Featherington needs to experience heartbreak, and Colin Bridgerton needs to experience love.

how i finally met your mother: a Polin love story by FanOfFics for Mimimoon2007

Summary
Kids,
The moment I first saw your mother I knew she was The One. Fate, with its great sense of humor, had ensured I’ve been 🤏close to meeting her so many times before.
I’ve met my fair share of insightful, interesting, intriguing, infuriating and intoxicating women in the wildest of circumstances: as a teenage pen pal, an online nemesis, a flirty discord situationship, even got myself a wedding plus-one from an online app. But these virtual romances always flickered; something was missing. And as if I wasn't trying hard enough, my meddling siblings conspired to set me up with a blind date for Daphne's wedding.
The truth is, I was learning to trust this chaotic journey through life, despite the pain and self-doubt. Every connection, every goodbye, was merely another piece falling into place in an elaborate 3D puzzle, unveiling her as the woman I was meant to find.
And the biggest lesson life taught me was this: true connection comes from the most unexpected sources, demanding we shed our masks. While revealing our true selves carries a price, for the right person, unfolding every hidden part of our heart is infinitely worth it.
Because it led me to the love of my life.
