24-year-old Penelope Featherington is in Los Angeles for a few months to work with a difficult author for her employer, Danbury Publishing. 26-year-old Colin Bridgerton has been living in LA for nearly four years, trying to make it as a singer and musician with the stage name CJ Bridges. 

Penelope dreams of being a published writer but doesn't feel her book is good enough yet and has never shown her poems to anyone. Colin dreams of being a rock star, but while he composes beautiful music, he has only ever written one complete song that he thought good enough - the song he wrote for Penelope years ago when he realized he was falling in love with her.

Colin and Penelope have been living on the edge of the friend zone for several years. Could this time in the same city without the interference of the Bridgerton family get them to end game? 

This modern AU story will alternate chapters between Penelope's point of view (POV) and Colin's POV.

Peaches is a Featherington, and like her brash and horribly dressed sisters, she is to be thrown to the lions of the ton for this season's marriage market. She does not wish to find love or romance or to marry. So she is shocked when she finds she cannot resist no other than the second born Bridgerton. Benedict x OC Completed! 50,000 words Best ratings: #1 in Bridgerton, #1 in BenedictBridgerton Hope you enjoy πŸ’— Characters and overarching story do not belong to me! OC characters and storylines only. Some bits of the series have been changed to better fit with my story so not 100% accurate to the TV show or the books! The ages are a little inconsistent too and I apologise for that... In line with Quinn's books, Peaches would be about 15 - I imagine her around 22. I don't condone relationships with minors! I didn't really think anyone would read my book, so I didn't focus too much on ages being accurate to the original books! It's my first fic and I've made some mistakes but please stick with me! <3
Dirty Law by BurtonBridge04
16 parts Complete Mature
Penelope Featherington is graduating from Oxford and after a long six years of ruthless studies (and hardly any decent sex) she finds herself at a loss with substandard men who are lacking in the 'satisfaction' requirements. However, when she gets a call regarding a new job opening that seems perfect for her, things seem to be looking up... But after a night in a swanky new club in London, she finds herself in a rather peculiar situation as the man who completely blew her mind last night is sitting opposite her in the hiring chair. Oops - that old (Sleeping with the boss but didn't know he was your boss) trope. This is a Penthony story - do not read if you do not like this ship. It is a one shot right now; however I may continue in future.

The Wallflower by Polin1824
23 parts Complete Mature
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?
