Colin Bridgerton is back from a 6 month expedition for his derby tour; having to visit Eygpt, India, and even China to compete internationally. He is now back just in time for his eldest brother's wedding. While away his ex-best friend also returned from a year business trip in the States promoting her debut for her new book. The two clash when they reunite at the family occasion. ------------------------ Fanfic inspired and based on the Bridgerton books and series; original characters from either series and any pictures incorporated into my story are not mine nor belong to me. Inspired by the show and books. Thank you.

Colin continues his tour with a trip to Italy. However, when his letters to his dear friend, Penelope, go unanswered, he returns home early to see her. Penelope makes it clear that she does not wish to see him, leaving him quite distraught. In his room, Colin finds a love letter addressed to him, the traveling Bridgerton. He now has two goals this season; to get back into Penelope's good graces, and to find who wrote the letter. Penelope has goals this season as well; to find a husband, to get Eloise to forgive her, and to continue her role as Lady Whistledown.

Penelope has returned to London as a widow, not sure what this next phase of her life will entail. Many men are interested in this young widow, and she needs to learn to sort their intentions. Do they seek her out for her wit, her company, or a chance of love? Or a little bit of naughty fun? And why is her old friend Colin Bridgerton watching out for her so intently? *Friends to Lovers *Slow burn, some smutty scenes eventually *Canon compliant until mid-Season 3 *Alternative Universe, set five years after Season 3 **This will have about 10 short chapters. **There will be a few spicy scenes, but this story will have a lot of pining & slow burn.

We begin two days after the Featherington Ball, when Colin finally realizes his feelings towards Penelope. But he's also realized that he is not worthy of her love. He has hurt her again and again, so what else can he do but step away and allow her to find happiness without him? Meanwhile, Penelope has burned so many times, and she has decided she's had enough. It's time to rise from the ashes and become the person she's always wanted to be, perhaps even earn the forgiveness of those she loves in the process. But are her mistakes too great to overcome? Are there any words that can erase what these two have done?

Every time he looked at her, she was looking at another, and the one she was looking at was looking elsewhere. It was downright ridiculous, as one of his brothers had told him one night - without the knowledge of who the youngest Prince of King George and Queen Charlotte was thinking of - to sulk over a Lady. But Prince Charles could not help it, for Penelope Featherington had placed a flower in his hair and smiled at him with only genuineness, and without a goal of marriage, and he'd been taken by her ever since.

When a cover up becomes reality sparks fly. This story sort of jumps in already started because I originally wrote it as a head canon for another fanfic so for context Eloise marries Phillip and Pen is a bridesmaid and Colin is a groomsmen. (They're paired as they walk down the aisle.) But both of there exes are accidentally invited to the wedding and cause awkward mayhem. Colin and Pen fake a relationship to scare them off but when they have to continue that charade over a holiday in Italy real feelings may come to light. Also I made Penelope a blonde like Nicola

When Colin Bridgerton, the ambitious CEO of Crew Nation, launched his elite lifestyle media brand, he was determined to be the top name in the industry. Polished, exclusive, and sophisticated, Crew Nation reflects everything Colin values about ambition and success. But his vision takes a hit when his company is suddenly dethroned by a rising star in the industry: The Bold Type, a vibrant and inclusive online publication led by the tenacious and charming Penelope Featherington. With her heart-on-her-sleeve approach and a commitment to diversity, Penelope has captured the attention-and loyalty-of readers from every walk of life. Colin's frustration grows as her brand climbs the ranks, forcing him to reevaluate his strategies and, begrudgingly, the values he holds dear. Determined to reclaim his place at the top, Colin sees Penelope as his fiercest rival. But as professional boundaries blur and tensions spark between them, they realize there might be a fine line between rivalry and attraction. In a world of headlines, competition, and ambition, Colin and Penelope's journey unfolds into a story of unexpected love, where the greatest challenge might be learning to see each other beyond the ink.

What if it was Penelope who badmouthed Colin? How would Colin take it?

"Honestly, it's already a disaster that he is oblivious. But Penelope, you pretending to pine over someone else when we all know it's Colin you're in love with? That's chaos!" Eloise rants. "He asked for a name, El! Should I have replied his?" Penelope says, planting her head on her palms. "We are friends, you know that." She doesn't speak her mind as she thinks, 'I don't count. I'm his friend, so I don't count.' -- They could cross that line. Maybe. Perhaps. Penelope isn't entirely sure. No, she knows they can't. So, she just reads her books, imagining hundreds of love stories that aren't hers. They hurt less.
