Summary
When Eloise announces she wants to move again, it coincides with Colin's desire to purchase a London flat. It makes sense for them to move in with him financially, but Eloise takes some convincing and as Colin and Penelope work together to persuade her, they fall back into a closer friendship. Meanwhile, Penelope's casual work hook-up starts pushing for something more but her dormant teenage crush on Colin has come back in full force. Still, she has to be realistic, right?
But when Colin makes her an interesting offer, it has the potential to change everything. It also might burn everything down. She won't know until she tries.

Summary
Penelope Featherington has been quietly in love with Colin Bridgerton for nine years. She's written it all down—every small moment, every unreturned feeling—in a document meant for her eyes only. Colin, meanwhile, has spent those same years being charming and oblivious.
Then Colin calls off his wedding and accidentally discovers what Penelope's been hiding. Suddenly, he can't stop thinking about the woman he never noticed. He wants to know her—really know her. And Penelope has no idea why he's finally paying attention.
As friendship turns into something more, Colin faces an impossible problem: he's falling for her, but she doesn't know how he learned to see her. The truth might destroy everything. But the lies might be worse.

Summary
When forty year old Colin meets a vibrant twenty three year old Penelope at a restaurant bar, he tries to avoid her advances, before giving in entirely.
--
When she pulls back, he mourns the loss, but then she asks, “do you want to kiss me?”
And in that moment, he remembers how young she is. He looks down into her eyes, and sees the uncertainty. The bravado, confidence, it teeters on a knife's edge, a balancing act of substantial proportions. She needs him to take over.
The first brush of their lips together sends a shiver down his spine. It’s soft, sweet, tentative, and when she moans against his mouth, something inside of him snaps. He grabs her face between his hands, holding it steady while he devours her. Their tongues become embroiled with one another, and the sounds she’s making—god—he wants to eat her alive, all of a sudden. When he feels her body pressed into his, her soft breasts rubbing against his torso, his arousal spikes. But this isn’t his first rodeo. He’s not twenty three.

Summary
Just one kiss.
The question had surprised him; although it should not have, because her bravery has always been one of the many qualities he admired most about her.
It does not have to mean anything.
Still, Colin had hesitated. Not because of her, but for her. To ensure she understood the gravity of her ask. To allow her a respite to withdraw it if she wished to do so. But Penelope had not relented, instead murmuring his name and a desperate please that made him weak and ready to surrender to her.
And since he is Colin and she is Penelope, and he would do almost anything for her, he did as she asked.
They kissed, just the gentlest brush of their mouths moving together, and—
After the events of 3x02, Penelope vanishes, Colin falls apart, and a series of very different events are put into motion.

We Will Have Lessons by KatofKanals

Summary
Colin Bridgerton has a lot of things going for him. He's over six feet tall, has silky, chestnut brown hair that curls naturally in a most fashionable way, and a smile that's been known to make women ages 2 to 92 swoon. Beyond the surface-level things, he's also smart and interesting and treats others with kindness and respect regardless of how he knows them and what walk of life they're from. Objectively, he's an absolute catch. Any girl would be lucky to be his, even just for one night. So, why then, at 26 years old and with all that going for him, is Colin Bridgerton still a virgin?
--
Or, the one where Penelope platonically takes her best friend Colin's virginity and helps him through his sexual awakening.

Summary
"I have needs," he blurts out, and then his face does something awful, crumbling almost, before he catches and rights it out of habit. "Fuck. That came out wrong. I don't mean—I'm not—" His hands are shaking. "I need help, Pen. And I think you might be the only person I trust enough to ask."
Colin asks. Penelope gives. Neither of them is prepared for what happens when the structure starts to fail.

When his head is turned instead by her cousin Marina, Penelope must admit she was wrong.
After no small amount of crying, Penelope decides she will move on. That she will find a husband. That she will be kissed.

The Littlest Matchmaker by KatofKanals

Summary
In her fourth year teaching kindergarten, Miss Penelope Featherington thinks she’s seen it all—identical twins who wore matching outfits every day and were impossible to tell apart, a little boy who only talked about himself in the third person, a girl who managed to find a pair of scissors in the cafeteria and cut essentially all her hair off… This year, though, Chloe Bridgerton catches her by surprise. She’s never met a child who so immediately captured her heart. Chloe’s not the only Bridgerton pulling on her heartstrings either. Her “easy on the eyes,” charming father Colin captures her attention in an entirely different way. She’s never had a hard time remaining professional with her students’ parents in the past, but this man might just test every rule and guideline she tries to live her life by—both within the walls of her classroom and outside it too. To make matters more complicated, sweet little Chloe seems determined to become a successful matchmaker on her very first try.
--
Or, the one where Pen is a kindergarten teacher, Colin is a single Dad, and they fall in love in part thanks to the meddling of a very special little girl.

Summary
This year instead of trudging home to her mother’s flat, Penelope has been invited to spend the Christmas holiday with her best friend Eloise and her family. Instead of snipping with her sisters over whipped turnips (less carbs than potatoes), Penelope will be breaking bread with the Bridgertons (carbs be damned)—a real family that is huge and loving and, more specifically, loves Christmas so much that they typically spend the holiday skiing in the French Alps.
And so, for the first time since she was seven years old, Penelope Featherington is looking forward to Christmas.
OR
A week in one of the poshest ski resort towns in the entire world. A week with Christmas themed Bridgerton family hijinks. A week that puts Penelope in insanely close proximity to her best friend's older brother Colin. What could go wrong?

Summary
'It’s been nearly a year since the first time they did this.
That time was rushed and frantic. Like there was a risk of someone putting a stop to it and hauling them apart. Like they would die if they didn’t have each other right then and there.
This time is the same, but different. No one is going to stop this. Certainly not her. But it is still frantic and needy. '
----
Colin and Penelope have been friends for years.
They have been friends with benefits for a year.
With life and jobs and Bridgertons getting in the way, they can’t seem to get on the same page.
As time passes with missed opportunities, Colin and Penelope need to find a way to get it right.

Summary
Penelope is quiet for a long while after he nodded his head and confirmed he was inquiring about whether or not she has changed her mind about having a baby with him.
"I…" she starts before swallowing once. "Well, I suppose as the years have gone on… I have imagined it a time or two, yes."
Colin knows she is telling the truth, and for the first time in a long time, he is also able to read her and surmise there is more still she is holding back.
"Is that something you wish for?" he asks cautiously. "A babe? One of your own?"
Pen's big, pale blue eyes blink at him twice slowly before she starts nibbling on her lip in a decidedly nervous gesture. "That is… We did not… We married for other purposes. I do not expect—"
"I am not asking what you expect," he interrupts, keeping his tone gentle, though, so as not to scare her out of this spell of vulnerability he's found her in tonight. "I am asking simply what you desire for yourself. Do you want a baby, Pen?"
"Yes."
--
Or, regency era Penelope and Colin have been in marriage of convenience for five years and decide to have a child together—platonically of course.

Steve Rogers, art student and part-time employee at Erskine's Antiques and Watch Repair, does a favor for a strange man in a green coat. In exchange, Steve is granted one wish. Thinking of his stack of unpaid bills, he wishes that he didn't have to worry so much about money. Instead of funds in his bank account, Steve finds billionaire Tony Stark at his door with a bouquet of roses.

”What will it be, Steven Rogers?" asked the man in green. "True love? Absolute power? What is your heart’s desire?”
Right now, Steve's heart desired this commercial transaction to end. He wanted to sell the guy his paperweight and get him out of the shop. The man was obviously crazy, and Steve definitely hadn’t told him his name, so how did he know it?
“Don’t trouble yourself with the details,” the man said breezily, as if Steve had spoken aloud. “What about riches, Steven? Mortals always like riches. Do you desire riches?”
“Well, sure, I guess, but I’d settle for sixty plus tax.”

Summary
Being trapped in an elevator wasn’t on Penelope Featherington’s agenda for the Chicago Marketing Summit, nor was having a heart-to-heart with Colin Bridgerton—the marketing golden boy she’s silently followed and admired. Yet, after one hour of unexpected closeness, they step out with plans for a dinner that’s less about networking and more about the sparks that flew when the elevator stopped. As they navigate their new bond in the vast world outside the elevator, the question remains: can their connection survive in the real world, or was it just a perfect moment suspended in time?
