Summary
“Francesca is very dutiful,” Colin said softly. “I am not sure we could have stopped her from wanting to be certain. And if there had been a baby, her health would have been very much a concern. I hate how it came about, but there was a need to know for her sake. I am just sorry it was not good news when some hope would bolster her spirit.”
“A baby would be difficult, but certainly no worse than losing John,” Pen said. “I knew she felt she should be doing more as a wife, but I cannot see any way he could have been happier with her. It feels like that kind of love should insulate from not even having final words. John just went to sleep. He had no idea. We do not always kiss before one of us goes out and the other one stays home!”
She moved her legs restlessly, and Elliot whimpered at the vibration of his mother’s dread. His little shudder definitely meant he would wake soon, and the pale light of dawn was showing around the pulled curtains.

Summary
“I doubt you know what you are getting into,” Eloise said. “Or what will be asked of you to support a wife with a family like the Featheringtons.”
Colin seemed to find her funny. “You do know I am a grown man? I am older than you. I have been to many places around the world, alone. I have money and a house. I am buying horses. I employ servants. These things don’t make me better than someone who does not, but you insist on treating me like I am Gregory’s age or even too young to calculate the price of sweets without you counting my coins.”
She did not feel superior in knowledge to anyone about marriage. She was not allowed to have a man without dooming them both to what she saw as an alarming risk of regrets that would be generations of unhappy people who interpreted a love match as a concession to nagging.
“I have trouble . . . not understanding you. I think we understand each other about the world and we are not that dissimilar. We both love Penelope. Your reaction is to bring her closer when I have had to give her up,” she said.

Summary
Written in segments of 1200 words, Penelope and Colin have very different experiences of her third season out, and a few things to stop them from being together after their physical separation is over. AU for the end of season 2, and a slightly different consequence of Jack Featherington's time in Mayfair.
Content warning: Offscreen childbirth and parentification.

Summary
“Now, Elliot, what biscuit do you want to try? It is sugar cookie with sweet icing,” she said. “I think biscuit Elliot looks very sweet, but I also love his little smile. Papa is very refined and dressed so well. He must be going to a party at Lady Danbury’s. I think my biscuit would give him a little kiss on the cheek right there.”
Pen took her own biscuit self and hovered it above the Colin biscuit. Once she had made a kissy noise, she kissed Elliot biscuit’s face and then went close to the boy’s face. He laughed and put his hand out, smudging his thumb through the swirls of pattern on her dress.
“Uh-oh! Mama’s icing came off!”
His son licked at it, and the pale blue must have been delightful because he reached to take the whole biscuit. Colin did not know why he snatched it away. He realized his error when Elliot flinched, and his face crumpled.

Summary
“There are too many condoms,” Bunelope said. “The box is sealed up, a full dozen.”
“He is a young guy, Bun,” Cotton told her. “Maybe he’s working up toward making a move where it counts?”
“No, because there are three condoms out of another box, but still his brand,” Bun said. “His, you know, his -”
She got embarrassed, remembering she was speaking to a male rabbit about the dimensions of her young owner’s body.
“They can’t be that different. His pina colada lube and custom pinstripes,” Cotton asked.
“His size,” she said. “His rather bigger size, and lubricated but unscented.”

Summary
A slow-burn canon twist starting from the first time Colin notices Debling noticing Penelope, setting off a lot of feelings he realizes were always trying to dig their way out of his denial. Pen is courting with the eye to marry well and keep her career, Colin is in love so big it is only dwarfed by the accompanying trouble, and Debling is not the only rival suitor. Lots of inclusion of Featherington and Bridgerton family members as the spectacle becomes a debacle with the goal of a wedding. WIP, not always that serious, and sometimes smutty/angsty.

Summary
A modern AU in London, where friends Colin and Penelope find themselves almost living together more often then they do apart. Recently updated to only include the canon of one specific AU that started with "Truth in the Throws." Since this one grew a plot unexpectedly, I'll list the stories in chronological order, with the caveat that some chapters do have flashbacks framed within the 'now' of the story.

Summary
For years, Colin Bridgerton has behaved as though Penelope Featherington belongs especially to him. His family has noticed. Penelope has certainly noticed. Colin, unfortunately, has not.
But when Penelope enters society and the rest of the ton begins to admire what he has known since he was eleven, Colin finds himself objecting to an increasing number of perfectly innocent men and growing rather less convinced that what he feels is only protectiveness.
Or: Colin has spent years acting like Penelope is exclusively his and is very annoyed that society appears to agree. As if he has been obvious.
