    Summary

    On a gloomy day at Hyde Park, Colin Bridgerton fell off his horse. And Penelope Featherington fell in love. One heartbreak, a few years, and a series of unread letters later, Colin agrees to help his dear friend find a match in the marriage mart. What he does not agree to is falling for his own gambit.

    A story following the synopsis of season 3

    .

     

    “It is aggravating,” he hisses. “To watch the woman, you desire with every bone in your body, dance around with other men,” his dark orbs meet her sapphire ones, “go on promenades, ignore your very being and dream of marrying someone who isn’t you.”

    Summary

    As Colin looked at the pair from across the ballroom, the jealousy bloomed grotesquely in his chest, like a large carnivorous plant that threatened to swallow him whole. When Penelope took Lumley by the elbow, Colin felt a phantom weight at his own side, taking his arm. In that moment, he could not help the image that flashed into his mind— Penelope on his arm, beaming up at him. Her eyes were shining as they usually did in those small moments between just the two of them. The jealousy was overtaken by something else, a kind of…yearning. To have Penelope at his side, to have her look at him like that again.

    It was at exactly that moment that Penelope turned to scan the ballroom, and her gaze caught his.

    Oh.

    Oh.
    ———
    Yet another addition to the world of Season 3 speculation! This will definitely follow show canon more than book canon, with some references to the book along the way.
    Work Title comes from "Starlings" by Elbow, one of my favorite Polin songs and one of the best songs ever, generally speaking.

    Summary

    After the events of last season Penelope has never felt more alone. No best friend. No hope left for dreams of love. Nothing but her thoughts and her mother’s criticisms to keep her company. And it’s left her determined to change into someone no longer at the mercy of the whims of Bridgertons and Society alike. She’s made plans to take this season by storm and secure her family’s future. But after a lifetime of being a wallflower, is it so easy to become a rose?

    Colin Bridgerton has returned to London, finally unburdened from his past mistakes. No longer does he receive pitying looks and snide remarks; in their place flattery and fluttering lashes abound. But it all feels empty and shallow while he wrestles with the hole in his life that his red-headed pen pal once filled. When he finds out the reason for her silence with him this past year, he’s willing to do anything to make amends – including assisting her in her quest to find a match this season. However, the more time he spends with her, the more he realizes his feelings for his childhood friend may be more than he expected.

    Summary

    She takes his gaze—studies it, notices little changes when she shouldn’t. Penelope remembers the pocket where he keeps his flask, his favourite biscuits when she pops in for tea. She learns to cherish Colin’s laugh, brazen, bold, because the one he shows to her is always different to the one he lets slip to yearning mama’s, cold Lords, and their uptight daughters.

    And that is why, a year later as she stands by the hedge of the gardens, quiet as she always is, the laugh that Penelope hears tumble from her loves’ lips seems far too cruel to even be real.

    Summary

    “What about the mirror?” Penelope asked as she turned to look at their reflection in the mirror which was situated in the darkest corner of the room. Although the corner itself was dark, the picture in the mirror was clear as ever; the lit candles throughout the room provided warm light which illuminated the space – as well as gave it an intimate atmosphere.
    “I want you to look at yourself in the mirror, and see what the rest of us are seeing,” Colin said behind her. '

    Colin comes bursting into Penelope's room late at night angry about the things she'd written about herself. He tries to help her gain self-confidence but instead reveals some new information about himself.
