"Honestly, it's already a disaster that he is oblivious. But Penelope, you pretending to pine over someone else when we all know it's Colin you're in love with? That's chaos!" Eloise rants.

"He asked for a name, El! Should I have replied his?" Penelope says, planting her head on her palms. "We are friends, you know that." She doesn't speak her mind as she thinks, 'I don't count. I'm his friend, so I don't count.'

They could cross that line. Maybe. Perhaps. Penelope isn't entirely sure. No, she knows they can't. So, she just reads her books, imagining hundreds of love stories that aren't hers. They hurt less.All Rights Reserved

Friends can be there for each other from childhood to adulthood but when feelings start to rise who will make the first move.... Colin and Penelope have been friends since they can remember but what happened one evening whilst attending one of ton's balls will leave you burning for more.... A simple first kiss in a darken corner of the Queen's garden could change this friendship into something called love? Do they both feel the same or is it one sided? Colin is known to enjoy flirting with the women among the Ton whilst his friend Penelope watches on the side lines, taking in all the glitz, gossip and glam of such evenings.

My Next Door Neighbor by Martinez_Moon

"Listen I know we've been flirting and shit but that doesn't mean I like you, okay" I cross my arms again and slightly smirk. He smirks down at me and he opens his beautiful mouth. "If that's true, then why did I hear you using the dildo while moaning my name?" Son of a bitch. ____________________________________ Being friends with your neighbor isn't that bad. Need milk? He's got it. Need sugar? She's got it. Ever since she moved into the apartment next door to him, they got close and eventually became close friends. But what happens when four years of friendship starts to turn into something more. Do they want this or do they ignore it? Penelope Jones is a tough woman. She's always on top of things and is always working to improve on her cafe, to make it thrive. She has no time for silly things like relationships, hookups, vacations, especially after everything she has been through. And she's perfectly happy with her life right now, right? Grayson Miller is a caring and funny guy. He's always checking on Penelope, either in her apartment or cafe. But he rarely talks to the tenants in his apartment floor, the only exception is the girl he's had his eyes on. But he conceals his feelings, knowing she has no intentions of dating and knowing she will never reciprocate his feelings, right?

Step into the Daylight // Polin au by wehavetimeNorush

After five years away, the Bridgerton family revisits their tradition of spending the summer holidays at their ancestral home, Aubrey Hall. A lot has changed and with several new additions to the family, they haven't had a chance to properly spend time together. One constant, however, is Penelope, his sister's best friend, who is practically a member of the family. Colin hasn't seen her in a long time, and her presence now tilts his world on its axis and sends it plummeting into the abyss. Or the one in which: Colin's feelings smack him across the face like a fucking sledgehammer blow. His childhood friend has transformed into a walking goddess, and he struggles not to drool around her. Eloise thinks he is acting like a fucking idiot. Colin is, in fact, acting like a fucking idiot. He realizes he is a boobs-man. And God, it seems, doesn't give a shit (otherwise, Colin wouldn't be going through this, right?)

Pretend You're Mine. by BurtonBridge04

Back again by popular demand. I have fixed grammar issues, and adjusted little bits (the story has not changed) Also - bonus extra scene at the end! "Thank you for the dance sweetheart." He broke away and she could still feel his lingered touch on her waist... What was this feeling? What on earth just fucking happened? Penelope Featherington did not fancy Michael Stirling. She couldn't. Could she? Colin's wedding broke her heart, could she find solace in the last place she ever expected? Pre-Warning. This is a Penelope/Michael HEA. - - - - - Updates will come once every few days! I have done Polin, Penthony, now I've decided to try Michael & Penelope. I had always imagined Michael sexy as hell, and well I'm basing him off Mr Grey himself. I hope you enjoy the story, It's just the beginning, I hope you like it. (This is my first of two, my next will focus on Benedict & Penelope (Regency)) Thanks :) xo

Things We Have in Common by bridgerton_swiftie

"My heart ached for her when she wasn't near, but it skipped a beat when I saw her." It is Elizabeth Johnston's second debutante, she finds it pressuring that even the Queen is sending her hope in finding a suitable husband. While experiencing every possible emotion you could before be presented to society a second time, she finds herself falling for someone that she can't have. At least not in public for all eyes to see. ________________________________________________ eloise x fem oc I do not own any of Netflix's Bridgerton characters.

"But she's worked so hard for her position as editor Colin, you know that." "I thought..." "Oh for god's sake Colin, you never grew up, did you?" "Shut up Ben, I'm currently sick of your judgemental staring." "Well don't ask my opinion then." "What are you going to go Colin?" "I'm starting to realise that I never should have married her so young." Modern Era Fic POLIN. Penelope & Colin married young; however, they've drifted apart... Through callous words, and heartbreak... Can they find themselves on a path back towards one another? Can they finally learn to grow together, instead of apart?

Blooming Penelope Featherington by BurtonBridge04

Old Fic of mine edited (Story hasn't changed.. just fixed with a little more detail; fixed grammar etc) Re-edit done & Completed. Enjoy ❤️ -*- She stuck her key in the ignition and heard her phone buzz. Colin: Hey Pen, Eloise just told me you're coming this weekend for the summer! It feels like a lifetime since I've seen you. I know things have been really weird for us over the past few years... but I'm really looking forward to seeing you. I mean it. I hope you're well... Col xx She slammed her head against the steering wheel and let out a large sigh. Well that confirms it, she thought... Summers fucked. -*-

Happiness Begins // polin A.U. by atlafan-tumblr

Penelope didn't choose to have a crush on her best friend's older brother. She didn't choose for that crush to turn into pure, unadulterated love. If she had any choices, she would have chosen for Colin to love her back. To notice her. That's not fair. He does notice her, just not in the way she'd like him to. polin AU
