Summary
Colin had been looking forward to this assignment for Lonely Planet for months, but everything had changed when his best friend, Penelope, blocked his number. How was he supposed to survive five whole months without talking to someone who means so much to him?
OR
The one where Penelope is pissed, Colin is depressed (and very very dumb), and I brush fifteen years of dust off the art history filing cabinet in my brain.

Summary
Shaking off the daze, he becomes aware that Anthony is staring at him through the mirror pensively, eyes bobbing up and down from his chest to his eyes. “You should probably tell her you have feelings for her before you show her that.”
“Feelings?” Colin turns to look at his brother.
“You cannot be this dense, Colin,” Anthony says, expression deadpan.
“Dense about what?” Colin says exasperatedly. “It’s just a tattoo. I already have a bunch of them. Besides, I think she’ll find it funny.”
“You wanna tell a joke? Send her a meme. You don’t get a tattoo of her name.” Anthony rolls his eyes and shakes his head, which, to be fair, is what he does at most of the things Colin says anyway.
or; the one where colin get's pen's name tattooed and realizes he's in love with her.

Summary
“Are you guys dating by chance?” Remmy asked immediately, grinning as he pointed the tiny mic towards Penelope.
Penelope shook her head quickly. “No…”
Colin interjected, “Just… best friends.” He looked at Penelope with a fond smile.
“Yeah. Best friends…” She repeated quietly.
Remmy turned to Colin. “Okay, so what’s your type?”
Without hesitation, Colin answered, “Red hair.”
Remmy looked at Penelope with a sly smile.
“With bright blue eyes,” Colin added.
“Uh huh!” Remmy turned to Penelope looking at her eyes. “I see bright blue over here… How tall?”
“About 5 foot,” Colin said easily.
“How tall are you?” Remmy asked Penelope.
“5 foot…” she admitted, a blush growing on her face.Colin and Penelope end up in a viral video. (Based on a real Tiktok.)

Summary
Penelope Featherington is sick as a dog and trying to power through and be miserable on her own. Colin shows up unexpectedly, insisting on taking care of her, with just one small problem. They just had a horrible fight and aren't speaking.
--
“You shouldn’t be here,” she mumbles, suddenly feeling more moody and irritated by his presence. “You’ll get sick too.”
He ignores her and a moment later, she hears the sound of running water from a different part of her flat. She’s still confused.
When he returns, she stands up and crosses her arms, trying to seem steadier. She’s not.
“What are you doing here?”
“You’re sick, Pen. I came to take care of you.”
“I don’t need you to—”
“Please,” he begs, pinching the bridge of his nose. “Please just… I started the shower for you. Let me finish up in here.”

Summary
Penelope thinks it’s just one of those wrong place, wrong time situations. She really does.
Because she’s not sure how else she ends up getting invited along on the yearly Bridgerton getaway and, moreso, how she ends up agreeing. She knows it’s a horrid idea, no matter how nice three weeks at a Sicilian villa sound. Honestly, she’s not sure she’ll be able to last three weeks seeing Colin Bridgerton shirtless under the Italian sun, which is why she finds herself glaring daggers at the man right now.
(*)
or: the one where Penelope gets invited along on the Bridgerton holiday and has to guide her relationship with Colin through a landmine of Bridgerton meddling.

Summary
Spanning years, cities, and more than a few heartbreaks, Just Pen is a slow-burn story about friendship, timing, and the impossible art of falling for someone who’s always been right in front of you.
Penelope Featherington has spent her life half in the glow of the Bridgertons — a family as chaotic as they are captivating — and half in her own shadow. Colin Bridgerton has never quite known what he’s looking for, only that he hasn’t found it yet.
As they grow up and grow apart, their paths twist through missteps, messy relationships, and the long, clumsy process of becoming the kind of people who might finally deserve each other.
This is a story about first loves, second chances, and how sometimes the right person is the one you’ve spent a lifetime overlooking.

Summary
«Eternal loves», also called «soulmates». They are loves older than memory, loves that have lived a thousand lives, loves that, in their blessing and wonder, caused the fall of empires, death and sorrow. Then, as punishment and so as not to forget the power of love, they were separated and condemned to seek each other out until pain reunited them, and they could finally hold hands and be together again.
That's what the legend said because, in reality, they didn't happen.
For Colin Bridgerton, soulmates were a myth to justify why single people couldn't hold hands or call each other by name if they weren't family. For Penelope Featherington, soulmates were just an interesting subject to read about, romantic tales of people destined to feel the pain of their other half and silver marks on their wrists.
Neither of them believed in the existence of eternal loves, soulmates or whatever the books called them.
Until the day Colin started coughing up yellow petals...

"I put a spell on you!” Penelope blurted out. It was silent after, and when she looked up, there was confusion on his face that struck her like a spear. “I — Colin, you have to believe me, there is nothing I would love more than for this to be real, but it is not! I have a hard time controlling my magic, and I made a wish upon a shooting star and I did not realize it until just now but—”
Colin started to laugh.

The flowers are the same for no two people. Some appear of their own volition; some are caused by touch. The only thing anyone can agree on is that they are caused by one’s strongest emotions.
