Summary
Colin had sworn to not two, not three, but four people he would not be in attendance: Eloise, Daphne, his mother, and Benedict. But Pen wouldn’t have come if she knew he was going to be in attendance, and Penelope needs his family nearly as much as she needs a holiday. He can’t let her vanish from their lives just because he’d hurt her feelings. That’s Colin’s fault, not Penelope’s. That’s his punishment to bear.
It’s just that the punishment is staying away from Penelope, and Colin can’t quite stand the thought of bearing it all the way.
--
Or, Penelope Featherington gets severely sunburned and Colin Bridgerton is just trying to get the girl.

Summary
It is different for his brothers. They offer their wives the sky and the sea. There are castles perched upon clouds, and palaces with warm, smooth water lapping against their walls. There is beauty everywhere, opportunity everywhere. Colin cannot offer his wife any of that. He can only offer her hell.
“You could stop this,” she reminds him as the days begin to grow colder. “I could stay with you this year. It could be summer forever, you know.”
But he cannot do it. He cannot steal life right from underneath her feet.

Summary
The night Penelope is asked the most important question of her life, she is wearing a hot pink feather boa. With sparkles, and a sparkly pink penis tiara to match. Naturally.
The question is not will you marry me, which should have been the most important question of her life (a fact of which she is perfectly aware, thank you very much). It is not do you, Penelope Featherington, take Alfred Debling to be your lawfully wedded husband, because she has a few days left before their officiant asks her that particular question.
“I’m sorry,” Penelope says. “What did you say?”
She’d heard him, but she’s drunk in a hot pink feather boa and a penis crown and surely Colin Bridgerton cannot be asking her about regrets.

Summary
Colin Bridgerton has lost his wife.
Well. Not so much lost her as he has misplaced her.
It is not the mask. When Penelope teases him for this later, Colin is going to make it very clear that it is no fault of the mask. It is the bloody wig she had put on in an effort to properly disguise herself from the ton. He has spent his entire adult life seeking out red hair, and now he keeps forgetting to look for blonde. It has always been red, the red haired girl across the street, the one he had fallen in love with so devotedly that it still feels like they exist in their own world every time they speak.

Summary
New York Times Bestselling author Colin Bridgerton is in the midst of a flop. The sales for his second romance novel are abysmal, the online reviews are even worse, and someone out there is writing fanfics of his work that far outshine the original.
There’s only one person who can help him fix this. The only problem? He hasn’t spoken to her in seven years.

Summary
"What are you all so excited about?" Penelope asks.
Philippa is nearly bouncing in her seat when she says, "Lord Whistledown!"
Penelope shakes her head. "I thought you read Lady Whistledown the other day?”
"No, you dimwit," Prudence says. "LORD Whistledown."
"Lord…what?" Penelope snatches the pamphlet out of Portia's hand - a gasp of surprise that Penelope barely hears coming from her mother - and begins to read what it right in front of her.LORD WHISTLEDOWN
A gentleman's pamphlet and attempt to woo
Published alarmingly and biweekly for the tonThe image in the center top is an outline of a man’s profile, top hat sitting jauntily on his head.
It must be a joke.-OR-

Summary
“I wouldn’t worry too much about these labels that humans give you,” said Lady Danbury as if she were reading Penelope's mind. “They’re based on human relationships. Life, love, everything is different for us than it is for them. Because we aren’t human, are we?”
“No, we’re not.” And thank goodness for that. Being a human seemed exhausting to Penelope.
“All three of those words mean exactly what you told me: love. Love is the most important thing we have. Love is one of the few things we stuffed animals can choose for ourselves. You should always hold onto love, Penelope. As tight as you can. Whatever form that love takes, and what you do with that love, is up to you.”
“Well, yes,” said Penelope, still a bit confused. Lady Danbury was smart, but she didn’t always make sense. Besides, they were getting off track from what she really wanted to know. “But is one of those words best? Best friends, maybe? None of the others have the word best in them, so I thought…”
OR
Colin and Penelope are sock monkeys, and they are in love.

Bookmarker's Notes
One of the coolest, most thoughtful and unique fics I’ve had the pleasure to read in this and any fandom. This is something special in a way that goes beyond just Polin— it feels special in a way that is more of an ode to storytelling itself. What a gift. I shared it with tons of people outside the fandom and they all adored it.
