bridgerton colin colinbridgerton cute fanfiction friendstolovers funny penelope penelopefeatherington penelopexcolin polin regency romcom sexy

Have you even considered that I don't want to marry you?... Colin reared back, the look of shock on his face almost comical.

A Bridgerton Fanfiction.

What if Penelope refused Colin's proposal after the carriage incident? 
What if Penelope stood firm in her refusal and Colin had to work a little bit harder for that "yes"? 

An alternate take going from the end of Chapter 13 of Romancing Mr. Bridgerton. Book Canon with some Show shout-outs.

Note: I love Julia Quinn and this book, but I always found that post-carriage scene and everything leading up to the wedding rather rushed and unsatisfying. So many things that I looked forward to seeing play out were just glanced over. I wanted a bit more out of their courtship. So I'm having a little fun, starting with his proposal at the end of thirteen and changing things from there.All Rights Reserved

No Words Needed by Emily_Caulfield

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?

The Wallflower by Polin1824

After a night of wonder under flowers and fireworks, Penelope Featherington thought she was on top of the world. Things seemed to go perfectly for once in her life. Until, her best friend discovers something she's been hiding for years. And to top it all off she overhears a conversation she was never meant to hear. And for the first time in her life Penelope truly feels like she's alone in the world. Penelope must look inside herself and decide once and for all if she will continue her usual wallflower ways or if it's time for her to step into the spotlight and claim the life she has always dreamed of having. Colin Bridgerton was, in his own estimation, perfectly happy being single. He enjoyed the occasional dance with the beautiful debutantes and his charming ways lead him to be quite a flirt. However he knew deep down it meant nothing. He was not in search of a wife, in fact he wasn't even ready to entertain the idea of finding one. He did however find himself involved in a rather deep and genuine friendship with one, Miss Penelope Featherington. But when his own foolish remarks threaten to ruin there relationship forever, he must decide whether he can let her go or if there is maybe something he hadn't seen in her before. Could Prince Charming (or rather Mr. Charming) truly set aside his rakish ways for one wallflower? Or will the secrets she's hiding tear them even farther apart? What happens when a wallflower blossoms?

Not so fake love by macplau18

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

In the other's shoes by kettygufetta

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

Season 3 Bridgerton Missing Scenes by RBridgerton44

NOTE: This was originally just titled "One Night", but now has additional chapters (with 2 more to come) This is a collection of scenes that I WISH had been included in the Netflix production of Bridgerton Season 3, part 2. This is purely my imagination, not from Julia Quinn or Shondaland, but intended to be scenes added to the production. Apologies that the first and second chapters are out of order. This is my first time writing and I was just going to write one scene, but got inspired to keep going.

Lady Debling (Polin) by delightful_fear

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.

Pretend You're Mine. by BurtonBridge04

Back again by popular demand. I have fixed grammar issues, and adjusted little bits (the story has not changed) Also - bonus extra scene at the end! "Thank you for the dance sweetheart." He broke away and she could still feel his lingered touch on her waist... What was this feeling? What on earth just fucking happened? Penelope Featherington did not fancy Michael Stirling. She couldn't. Could she? Colin's wedding broke her heart, could she find solace in the last place she ever expected? Pre-Warning. This is a Penelope/Michael HEA. - - - - - Updates will come once every few days! I have done Polin, Penthony, now I've decided to try Michael & Penelope. I had always imagined Michael sexy as hell, and well I'm basing him off Mr Grey himself. I hope you enjoy the story, It's just the beginning, I hope you like it. (This is my first of two, my next will focus on Benedict & Penelope (Regency)) Thanks :) xo
