Penelope didn't choose to have a crush on her best friend's older brother. She didn't choose for that crush to turn into pure, unadulterated love. If she had any choices, she would have chosen for Colin to love her back. To notice her. That's not fair. He does notice her, just not in the way she'd like him to. polin AU

At the start of the 1814 season, Viscount Anthony Bridgerton had decided that he'll finally look for and take in a wife. Having interviewed most of the ladies of the ton and found none deserving, his interest was piqued whilst at the Danbury Ball when he overhears his mother and sister speak of a lady in high regard; and in their comments found that this woman shares the same qualities he had been looking for in a prospect. What will happen if he finds out that the same lady in question was no other than his sister's best friend and their long time neighbor, Penelope Featherington?

Anthony is a 38yo divorcee on the way to his younger sister's Francesca's second wedding and he just so happened to promise his mother that he would spend two full weeks in Scotland with his family. Francesca has lived in the small town of Inverie for ten years. She was married to her husband for five years before his passing and now, five years later she has managed to find love again with her husband's distant cousin Michaela Stirling. So, why not have a weeklong celebration of love in the most beautiful place in the world with your huge, crazy, unfiltered family? Michaela's best friend is Penelope Featherington. Penelope is a single mother to a teenage daughter, Isla. She is a book shop/café owner and is very proud of her Scottish and Irish heritage. The town has many people that come and go, but this beauty has never left. So, what happens when an outsider makes her see there is a world outside of her own? (This will be celebrating Scotland with some nods to Scottish History, a Scottish speaking Pen, and I will be including only Scottish artists at the start of each chapter, I truly hope you enjoy it - signing off from the heart of one proud Scottish lass) Penthony HEA.

What if Colin and Penelope didn't get together until season 4... Penelope Featherington has been in love with her best friends older brother, Colin Bridgerton, from the first moment she saw him in the mud. For years she was content being his friend. But when Colin is set to marry her cousin, even after Penelope forced Marina to tell Colin the truth. Penelope knows her love for him, truly is unrequited. Penelope puts her focus on her own debut, and her writing. For three seasons she puts her heart in a cage, never letting her mind cross to the fantasy of Colin Bridgerton. Colin always saw Penelope as one of his dearest friends. But one night he was in bottom of a bottle and made another mistake when came to her. Things shift when he is begging for forgiveness, and these new feelings grow when he sees his Pen step into the light and claim her name. Penelope is given new responsibilities and the Bridgerton's are more than happy to help her with her new title, especially Colin. But just as Colin realised his love, Penelope might marry another by the name of Lord Debling. These two put each other through heartbreak, but they are also the only ones who can heal them. Will they finally be able to meet each other at the alter? ✧ This fanfic is focused on the years between the start of the show and them getting together. It is a slow burn. I don't own these characters, obviously.

Penelope Bridgerton is left alone in her marital home, feeling lonely and lost when she has an unexpected revelation. She discovers that she is with child, two days after she sent the queen and her mother in law letters of being Lady Whistledown. She couldn't tell Colin, not after he still remained distanced from her, even after she poured her heart out to him and begged him to love her. Penelope decided she would flee Mayfair for the sake and the happiness of her child. Will Colin be able to stop her from going when he finds out she is missing? This story starts in season 3 episode 8 after Francesca's wedding, before the Butterfly Ball. As per the conversation between Polin at the Butterfly ball, it seems Colin was not staying with Pen in their house and she was all alone or they were apart even while being in the same house, it was not clear. I felt as though he had to be with her at such a time as a support and this is when Pen starts realising how lonely she is in this marriage. Here he is not staying with her.

What if Penelope was one of the gems of the season... After Mr Colin Bridgerton cruel words said at the Featherington Ball, Penelopes already low chance of marriage became even lower. It did not help that Lady Whistledown wrote about it. But what did Mr Bridgerton think with saying it so loud for all to hear? Especially Miss Penelope Featherington. Colin did not have the time to apologise to his dearest friend Pen. He tried writing letters but he never got an answer. Penelope returned to Mayfair with a new mindset and no Bridgerton to spend her days with after her heartbreaking fight with Eloise. Lady Featherington was happy that her youngest one is with her, in their home after marrying off her two oldest. Penelope was less thrilled with the notion. She needs a husband. Colin is ready to right his wrong. He shall help Penelope find a husband, it will be easy. Especially when the Queen saw something special in his Pen. What could go wrong? ✧ I do not own any of these characters. (Obviously) This fanfic started because I kept thinking "If no one else writes the fic I want, I'll have to do it myself."

This Fic is a modern era based on the story of the movie, 'Forever my Girl'. It will obviously have some differences with a deeper storyline, but the idea stems from the movie. Colin & Penelope are essentially teenage sweethearts who were destined, Their love story is complicated, heart-breaking & raw. .... A story where Colin becomes a successful singer, and decides to return to his hometown 8 years later, where he encounters his high school sweetheart Penelope Featherington who he once left at the altar. Thing's have changed, she has changed, but his heart hasn't. Notes: Inspired by Forever My Girl by Bethany Ashton Wolf
