    Summary

    “Do you truly have to ask what I was doing the night before our wedding?” Colin spat, the bitterness in his tone ricocheting to lash out at them both. “I thought Lady Whistledown knew what happens everywhere in London?”

    Penelope's breath caught audibly, but she said nothing, just staring at him, wide-eyed and wary.

    Colin tilted his head, his voice turning mocking—cruel in a way he knew he’d regret but could not contain. “Surely the carnal customs of a stag night at White’s have not escaped her ears?”

    It was a bitter conjecture, one he did not truly mean, but it was also a test. And from the way her face paled, the look of utter agony that crossed her countenance, he wished he had not posed it.

     

    A reimagining of Season 3, Episode 7’s wedding-eve confrontation, packed with angst, passion, and steamy moments. What if that purported scene involving prostitutes had not been cut? What if we could hear what Colin says to Penelope during their kiss? What if we'd had more time to let the original script's dialogue breathe and make sense? After months of post-season 3 polin brain rot, this is my labor of love.

    Summary

    Colin convinces Penelope to share custody of a dog. It's purely platonic. Just best friends, raising a dog. Nothing to worry about at all.

    Summary

    Bea Goring is a good person. Bea Goring is a kind person. Bea Goring is a beautiful person.

    Bea Goring is not a smart person.

    Which she has never felt as loudly as she does when she falls in love with Colin Bridgerton. Because of course she would fall in love with the perfect man, except… he might already be in love with someone else

    ******
    Twitter user myluvnic (Amy) once said she was an angsty b***h at heart and she wanted a Polin fic full of missed chances - never together or maybe only at the very end of the fic. This is my brainchild.

    AKA

    That Polin fic with HEAVY emotional cheating insinuations. In which Colin’s gf is the only one aware that Colin might be in love with Pen
