What if Penelope Featherington married Lord Debling after Colin Bridgerton's confession? As Penelope prepares for her marriage to Lord Debling, she can't help but wonder if she's making the right choice. After years of loving Colin Bridgerton in secret, she now faces a future with a man she hardly knows. Lord Debling is kind, thoughtful, and offers security, but their marriage feels more like a transaction than the passionate love story she's always dreamed of. While adjusting to her new role as Lady Debling, Penelope is drawn deeper into her husband's world of trade and politics, where she begins to question his true motives. At the same time, Lady Whistledown remains her biggest secret-one that could unravel everything if exposed. As tensions rise and hidden desires surface, Penelope must navigate society's expectations, the complicated dynamics of her new marriage, and the lingering feelings she has for Colin. Will Penelope find true love in the most unexpected place, or will her heart always belong to someone else? Perfect for fans of Bridgerton, this story explores love, ambition, and the complexities of navigating a calculated marriage in Regency society.

This will be based primarily on the TV show 'Bridgerton' by Netflix, but I have read 'Romancing Mister Bridgerton' and some will be based off of that All characters belong to Julia Quinn and Netflix, Shondaland. These oneshots depict random little scenarios between Colin and Penelope Bridgerton. Mostly fluff with some angst and potential smut (no promises).
