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

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?

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?

Happiness Begins // polin A.U. by atlafan-tumblr

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

A Wallflower's Bloom by enaganda

"Are you mad? I would never dream of courting Penelope Featherington."

As the 1815 London season starts, she comes back at the ton with determination, confidence and charms enough to find a husband to marry.

Everything Has Changed Now by chocozee27

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.

Colin x Penelope (COMPLETE) by fangirlspam_234

I just finished binge watching Bridgerton and I loved it! Colin and Penelope deserved more screen time and I just finished reading the 4th Bridgerton book that is focused on them and I just wanted to see more of them. Seeing that there are not many fanfics about them I of course took the liberty of writing one my self. Set between the last chapter and epilogue of Romancing Mr. Bridgerton Rated M for mature MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE SHOW AND BOOKS! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

A Matter of Priority by AbbyWheelerRomance

Five Times Colin Bridgerton Put His Wife Before Food and One Time He Didn't. Or a brief history of Penelope, Colin, and food. A Bridgerton Fanfiction (COMPLETE). This was written far before season 3, so if the details don't match up, that's why. This was a request fic for someone who wanted something involving Colin's love for Penelope... and for food. She wanted it fluffy, sensual, and sexy. I hope I hit the marks while keeping it clean... apart from relentless horniness, innuendo, and euphemisms, of course.

Step into the Daylight // Polin au by wehavetimeNorush

After five years away, the Bridgerton family revisits their tradition of spending the summer holidays at their ancestral home, Aubrey Hall. A lot has changed and with several new additions to the family, they haven't had a chance to properly spend time together. One constant, however, is Penelope, his sister's best friend, who is practically a member of the family. Colin hasn't seen her in a long time, and her presence now tilts his world on its axis and sends it plummeting into the abyss. Or the one in which: Colin's feelings smack him across the face like a fucking sledgehammer blow. His childhood friend has transformed into a walking goddess, and he struggles not to drool around her. Eloise thinks he is acting like a fucking idiot. Colin is, in fact, acting like a fucking idiot. He realizes he is a boobs-man. And God, it seems, doesn't give a shit (otherwise, Colin wouldn't be going through this, right?)

Heart at risk by rxlicias

What if Penelope were pregnant and the stress of dealing with Colin and Eloise after the Whistledown reveal put her at risk of losing the baby? How would Colin and Eloise react and be able to live with themselves? #1 polin #1 penelopefeatherington

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.

"You can't scare away every man who shows up at my door!" "I can damn well try." He kept his tone quiet as he stepped closer to her. "You have no idea of the grip you have on me Hanford and I'll be damned if you fall in love with someone who isn't me." Aurora Hanford was just hoping for the best outcome for her debut season. She didn't account for Benjamin Bridgerton to make a mess out of her life with little to no words. He presented himself in her life very prominently and the girl quickly grew fond of his watchful gaze and hushed words. Aurora found herself falling for the brooding man and he realized he was falling just as deeply. Neither expected their love to form as something more or to blossom as it quickly did. Their love was a fairytale in a world where true love unions were extremely rare. They had their naysayers, their supporters, but most importantly they had each other. Even if in the beginning, neither knew it just yet. FEM! OC x MALE! BRIDGERTON OC
