P.S  A lot of scenes / quotes are taken from the TV show and some from Romancing Mr. Bridgerton  so I didn't come up with a couple of them! 
Also I did not come up with the characters they are used from Julia Quinn!
( This story takes place after the ending of season 2 )



After Penelope overhears her beloved Colin telling everyone that he would never dream of courting her she feels heartbroken and upset knowing the only man she thought was different proved her to be wrong, she decides to try and forget about Colin and focus on marrying but he will not stop trying to do everything in his favour for her to forgive him.
Penelope started to dress differently and change how she looked to be more presentable for suitors, not only does she end up attracting more suitors than previous seasons but she also captures the attention of the one and only Colin Bridgerton.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?

The Traveling Bridgerton by Emily_Caulfield

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.

The Wrong Mr Bridgerton by MelNewt69

After Anthony discovers Lady Whistledown's true identity, he comes up with a plan that will suit them both. Colin comes home to Mayfair only to realise that Miss Penelope Featherington is being courted by his older brother, non the less. Which triggers him to feel, less than his usual self. What if the young lady who you respect the most, starts to become the most desirable?

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.

Loving Lord Bridgerton by LizzyR2017

I have known the Bridgertons for most my life. Daphne is my best friend and the closest to a sister I will ever have. Being the only child isn't just lonely. It's a constant reminded of the future I will have if something were to happen to my father, and if I ever try to forget, my mother will be there to make sure I remember. Then there is Lord Bridgerton-- Anthony...I have loved him for as long as I have known what love was. He makes my heart pound and my knees unsteady. One moment of weakness made it easier to believe he could love back, but my mother isn't going to wait for him to maybe ask for my hand. My reality is that I must get married and he will never want to marry me. I have one more London season to find my match before my mother makes one for me... ________________________ This story is based off the Bridgerton books series by Julia Quinn(that I highly recommend). I haven't seen the show (only parts). So, any relation to the characters, situations, or events relating to the book or show clearly do not belong to me. **Please don't come for my history accuracy. I did the best I could.**

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?)

"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

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
