Summary
As Colin looked at the pair from across the ballroom, the jealousy bloomed grotesquely in his chest, like a large carnivorous plant that threatened to swallow him whole. When Penelope took Lumley by the elbow, Colin felt a phantom weight at his own side, taking his arm. In that moment, he could not help the image that flashed into his mind— Penelope on his arm, beaming up at him. Her eyes were shining as they usually did in those small moments between just the two of them. The jealousy was overtaken by something else, a kind of…yearning. To have Penelope at his side, to have her look at him like that again.
It was at exactly that moment that Penelope turned to scan the ballroom, and her gaze caught his.
Oh.
Oh.

Yet another addition to the world of Season 3 speculation! This will definitely follow show canon more than book canon, with some references to the book along the way.
Work Title comes from "Starlings" by Elbow, one of my favorite Polin songs and one of the best songs ever, generally speaking.

Summary
Penelope finds herself in a situation that is as ridiculous as it is dangerous, and the only person who can help her is naturally the last person she wants help from. It goes exactly as you'd expect.

Nuzzled Noses by WrensSymphony

Summary
From the moment of their accidental meeting as young children through the trauma of hurt and loss, the heartbreak of adolescence, and the confusion of young adulthood, Colin and Penelope's connection anchors them both.
This story aims for hurt and comfort in equal measure as it follows the "platonic best friends" (really, though?) as they grow up, with time jumps between each chapter as we see them navigate their lives together. Their story is one of true friends to lovers, where lines blur and it's hard to see where friendship ends and love begins, because perhaps they've been together all along.
*CW: This is NOT a dark fic, but does contain mature themes, specifically a child abuse storyline.*
