Summary
“Colin!” Penelope shouts, her face lighting up with a smile that had to be a million or two watts, rivaling the brightness of the sun.
“Pen,” he says, feeling some kind of weight drop from his shoulders, replaced by her when she jumps on him. Her arms wind around his neck and instinctively, he catches her, one hand on the back of her thigh and the other pressed against her lower back.
“Fuck, I missed you,” she breathes.
It’s exactly the homecoming he’d wished for. His heart takes off in his chest. She smells like vanilla and lavender, and her whole body is warm and wrapped around him, and he wonders if maybe they could stay like this for the rest of their lives, because God, he’s missed her, too.
With his face buried in her neck, Colin murmurs, “Yeah, me, too.” Neither of them really let go, and he doesn’t want to read into it that much because—he doesn’t even know. Because he’s scared, maybe. Probably. Because he doesn't understand it and doesn’t want to. Because for all his exploration of caves and canyons, he isn’t sure he’s ready for whatever he’d find the second he reads the text of their friendship and discovers something hidden between the lines.

Summary
She was perplexed and very aroused. It had been four solid weeks of friendship. They had been alone many times since, and not a single move was made or a hint of flirtation. Now here he was, undressing her with his gaze openly at a ball. Penelope pressed her lips together and tilted her head challenging his manner.
“Colin,” she took a small step forward, her chest was touching his. “What are you thinking about?”
Colin did not miss a beat, he brought his hand up to her shoulder, brushing her hair back then placing his hand on her bare skin. He leaned over, close enough that his lips ghosted her skin.
“I am thinking about what I would like to eat next.” She felt his fingers tracing her shoulder, sliding up the side of her neck to just under her ear then back down.
Imagine these regency balls had rooms where couples could escape to and have their own kind of fun.
A continuation of the story "Ice Cream and Lemon Custard."

Summary
"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.

Summary
Penelope is invited to spend her first full summer at Aubrey Hall with the Bridgertons. She now has unfettered access to Colin, who never returned for the social season after his travels the summer following the Featherington Ball.
–
Canon divergence (no Whistledown, among other little shifts.)Essentially an imagining of what might have happened if Colin and Penelope had had more time apart, more time for Colin to fester and wilt, and more time for Penelope to “move on.” Also, what might have happened if they had had even more unsupervised access to one another.
-
In truth, I just wanted a very drunk Colin to show Pen some fireflies. But of course it is never that simple.

Summary
All Penelope wants is Colin. The moment he stepped out of the carriage and asked for her hand, she realized she would be willing to give up Lady Whistledown entirely for him.
All Colin wants is Penelope. He has never felt so strongly for anyone before; this is the first time he's ever felt truly seen and understood. Now that he is aware of his feelings, he will do anything in the world for her.
But nothing is ever so simple, is it? When secrets come to a head and choices need to be made, both discover that their love is not perfect: but it is theirs.
This is my version of season 3 part 2, based on the trailer footage we received and with my own spin on the story!
