Summary
“Not to worry, my dear,” Varley said, patting Penelope’s hand gently. “This world is a cruel place, specifically for women, but you have people in your court who will protect you. That’s more than most have.”
Penelope gave Varley a wan smile. She appreciated the sentiment, but was it too much to ask for protection and love?
-
When Colin and Pen are forced to marry because of a misunderstanding, each find a reason to feel guilty. Penelope hates the idea that Colin will be forced to marry her out of duty rather than love, while Colin has just learned that the validity of their marriage will hinge on a barbaric centuries old wedding night tradition that Pen has no idea is coming.- Language:

A Scandalous Engagement by wildechilde17
Fandoms: Bridgerton (TV), Bridgerton Series - Julia Quinn
26 Jul 2025

Summary
In a regency society where debutantes must be Demonstrated, publicly, intimately, and without shame, Penelope Featherington was prepared to retire from society quietly. No husband, no fuss, no future.
Then came Colin Bridgerton.
Now engaged, very suddenly, and very publicly, the pair must navigate the treacherous waters of London high society, Bridgerton family chaos, and their own inconveniently escalating desire to do scandalous things that might force a special license.
Colin is many things: cheerful, charming, and endlessly obliging, but not nearly as shallow as he appears. Beneath the breezy wit and careless smile is a man who desperately wants to be good, for others, for Penelope, for himself. He doesn't mean to be rakish. He only wants to be enough. But every time he looks at Penelope, he finds a new reason to ruin her. Behind a curtain. On a chaise. Maybe during tea with Lady Danbury.
Unfortunately, his entire family is determined to prevent any impropriety until the wedding.
Colin Bridgerton has never followed rules, and he’s never met a curve or confession from Penelope he didn’t want to ruin himself on.

"W—what did you…?"
"Marry me, Penelope," he repeats. "As the Viscount, I am expected to take a wife. If you marry me, you shall be free of all the eyes on you. You will have your own free will."
The one where Viscount Colin Bridgerton is under pressure to take a wife. Who better than to offer a marriage to than his best friend Penelope Featherington? Or Colin and Penelope enter into a marriage of convivence.

Summary
As long as he can remember, Colin's had an insatiable sense of wanderlust. He's always had a calling to go out and look for something, even when he was a little boy and sneaking off and getting lost in the forest stretching out across the grounds of his family's country estate. There was something out there waiting for him, something that he's meant to be searching for, something that will give him that sense of purpose and fulfillment that he's been missing all his life. And this job scouting minimally explored planets allows him to do just that. The only problem, however, is that he has absolutely no sense at all of what that "something" is that he's meant to be looking for.

Or, the fic no one asked me for where Alien Pen needs Astronaut Colin to help her repopulate her dying planet, and maybe, despite all the obstacles in their way, they just might be destined for each other too.

Summary
After Colin witnesses Penelope's failures with men firsthand, he offers to help her learn how to flirt, leading to disastrous results as he finds himself questioning whether he knows anything about women at all, and wondering why watching Penelope become more successful at dating makes him want to claw his own eyes out.
--
Penelope Featherington hates clubs. As soon as she walks in the door and the scent of sweat and body odor overtakes her nostrils, along with the thumping of the base and strobe lights from the DJ booth, she immediately regrets all of her decisions that led her here tonight.
She scans the crowd, praying to find a recognizable face quickly and minimize the amount of time she has to awkwardly stand alone on the wall. She’s spent most of her life in such positions, but normally she had Eloise by her side. Someone to whisper with as they judged all of the glorious people who weren’t too scared to put themselves out there and behave as though they were the main character in their own stories. She envied them. She hated them. Since Eloise moved to Birmingham for work a few months ago, Penelope finds herself struggling to become the main character in her own life.

Summary
“C’mon, get excited! Can’t start our marriage off with a sour face like that,” he chided, shooting her his most roguish grin.
Penelope’s heart gave a little lurch.
The marriage was a sham, of course. She and Colin were partners in the FBI, and before that they had been friends growing up. In fact, it was his insistence that she’d make an excellent field agent that had spurred her to apply in the first place.
Well, that and the small fact she was utterly in love with him.
The moment he’d proposed they go undercover to investigate what had happened to the lovely couple who had disappeared overnight from the highly-coveted Arcadia Falls neighborhood, Penelope knew she was in trouble. And yet, having given the idea precisely four seconds of thought, she’d agreed.

OR: Colin is Mulder and Pen is Scully (obviously) and they’ve got a mystery to solve, gang!

Summary
When Colin agrees to work the annual Flagons & Flails Renaissance Festival with Penelope this summer, she expects him to be disappointed by the overall, well, nerdiness of it all.

"Can I help you find something?"
Penelope Featherington jumps at the sound of a voice coming from behind her. She shouldn't be surprised, however, that the young, dark-haired, friendly-looking man who was behind the counter earlier is checking on her now. She's been standing frozen for the last few minutes in front of a wide display of items lined up on a wall that are entirely foreign to her. They're entirely foreign to her because she's a virgin in a sex shop, and suddenly the grand plans she had coming in here today all feel very, very stupid.
--
Or, virgin Pen wanders into Colin's sex shop one day in an unusual beginning to their happily ever after.

Colin blinks and tries to get his bearings. One moment he and Penelope were in the cinema, the next they were… (could this be right? It’s too crazy to even think it)… IN THE FILM!!

Brimsley sits back in his chair, popcorn in hand, ready to enjoy the show.
This would work, he was sure of it. These two idiots in love will definitely realise their feelings if they have to roleplay as some classic on-screen couples!
It’s fool proof. They’ll be smooching in no time!

Summary
Penelope Featherington, 32, is successful and living what most would call a good life. Yet her world still seems to orbit around her longtime neighbors—the Bridgertons—and her dearest friends, Eloise and Colin. After a revealing family dinner, Penelope begins to question the life she’s built. Has she spent too long defining herself by the people around her? Maybe it’s time to step out of their shadow and finally become her own person. This is a story of growth, self-discovery, redemption—and, of course, finding love along the way.
