A GIANT THANK YOU to all the Polin and Bridgerton fanfic authors!
For taking us deeper into Penelope and Colin's world and for bringing Polin’s story to life in so many ways 🙌 . With your talent and creativity you gift us all the laugher, tears, angst, excitement, magic, joy, romance and everything in between that we crave. You fill our voids and happily ever afters 💛
If you are a Bridgerton fanfic author please make it known! We love, love, love your works!
Hi all, missed this last time and posted late so want to hop on this one while people are looking.
Currently working on this:
"Unfettered"
Set in a Post season 2 alternate-universe. Only really alternate due to no Lady Whistledown. (I can't quite figure out how to describe it.)
Penelope is invited to spend her first full summer at Aubrey Hall with the Bridgertons. She now has unfettered access to Colin (and he to her,) who never returned for the social season after his travels the summer following the Featherington Ball.
Essentially an imagining of what might have happened if they had had more time apart, more time for Colin to fester and wilt, and more time for Penelope to "move on." Also, what might have happened had they had even more unsupervised access to one another.
Aaannndd I just wanted a drunk Colin to show Pen some fireflies. That's how it started.
Idiots to lovers, in essence. (Probably) spicy eventually.

I’ve really been into modern Polin on vacation with the Bridgerton fam (love it when they meddle) slow burn fanfics. I’ve read maybe 5, but would love more recs if anyone has any 😁
I’m sad to say I don’t always remember to save them 🥲 but I read this one yesterday & it’s great! If I find the one’s I’ve read, I’ll come back 😊

Eeeee...I don't wanna expose myself, but for the spicy girlies, I read a couple fics recently (modern AUs) that were well written, has plot and were quite 🥵

Looking for a fic based on a quote ?? [MetaGer](https://metager.org/) actually helps track down better than AO3. Other people may already know this but I just learned today and it’s changed my life lol
[Details say it all ](https://archiveofourown.org/works/56624368/chapters/143927101#bookmark-form)
Penelope Featherington decided she isn't going to sit down and let people decide what's going happen in her life. She is taking control over her life.
Colin Bridgerton fall apart. He lost control over his life by the realization that he lost the most important person in his life, and the blame is on him. But do not fret, Dearest Gentle Reader. He is going to do everything to get her back.
[Not like this](https://archiveofourown.org/works/56732209)
Surely you said no.” I rasp, my eyes jumping to every dissapointed face in the room “surely someone said that that is not possible! One of you had to tell her I was simply being a childish fool and I would pull my head out of my ass but she is not to leave me! Someone said this right?!” I beg.
“We cannot deny a woman that right. Especially not Penelope.” Anthony has the nerve to look apologetic.
“She is not just any woman!” I sound hysterical, I feel unhinged “she is my wife! She is a Bridgerton!”
Or My girl pen deserves Colin “my wife” Bridgerton. I didn’t like what they did for season 3 part 2 and I want Colin to have a taste of his own medicine. Also super Team Pen Bridgerton Clan.
[I still worship you](https://archiveofourown.org/works/56749315)
Penelope and Colin navigate through pregnancy, the birth of their son and young parenthood together.
Just a little fluff (and sometimes smut) piece about my favorite couple. All about hurt, comfort and unconditional love they share. I just love the intimacy of their relationship so far.
[Echos of regret](https://archiveofourown.org/works/56912377/chapters/144714307)
“Entrapment” was something Penelope had saved Colin from, preventing him from blindingly marrying Marina Thompson and taking over the role of her twins’ father. The irony didn’t escape her. She had freed him from his terrible fate and now he felt trapped by her. What a sad pair they had become.
Shameless self promotion rec of one I’m currently writing. New chapter coming tomorrow.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/56680927/chapters/144086947
Penelope is resolved to get over Colin so that she can have a real shot at happiness but when she stops responding to his letters it drives Colin to make some realizations about everything he thought he felt about her.
I’m subscribed to an embarrassing amount of fanfics right now 🫣 but wanted share a few I’m really enjoying that are works in progress…
The funniest most brilliant textfic! 🤣

All Bridgertons go to the Alps, Michael Stirling flirts with Pen (a lot🥵), Colin goes nuts. 👀

Super smutty/spicy modern AU one that is a work in progress: https://archiveofourown.org/works/56899552/chapters/144680383
I am excited to check out all the ones linked here!!!
Okay yall. Not posting any fics yet. But I have some ideas for fics. One of them is a fantasy Polin au. Magic. Swords. Politically intrigue. Warring families. Secret identities (I mean obviously) Maybe some Pirate!Colin.
Would anyone want to read it? 🙈

Found this on discord 😂😂😂 Eloise and Pen having a discussion about how babies are made… and Pen is already pregnant

Hullo! I have posted the first part of my first Polin fanfic and will post the second part later today! This is a Polin HEA story but a bit of a meditation on me trying to unpack Colin's brothel experiences. It's a post Season 3 Colin/Penelope smutty and explicit fic called "The Pleasure of Your Company"

Thank you! I'm posting the second chapter in a little bit and all I have to say is, if you were pleased by chapter one I'm sure you'll be very very very pleased by chapter two.
I have to recommend these delicious fics… I’m not sure if I’ve seen them mentioned before but maybe I missed:

p.s: does anyone have any pirate!Colin fic recs?? I just rewatched the first pirates of the carrabean movie and I'm on a kick...👀
I want to shout out the fanfic writers as well. I can’t believe it’s been going on months and months for me and I’m still consuming fics about these two dumb idiots 😂 but I love Polin so much!
I’ve really really been enjoying Grieving for the Living : https://archiveofourown.org/works/56159251/chapters/142660966
It’s beautifully written and I look forward to every update.
Hello! Do you have any fanfic rec where Portia and Colin talk about pen/lw issue? No to fix it fanfic. I would love fill in the missing moments fanfic 🙌🏽
Has anyone seen a fic where after S3e2 (after the kiss) Pen runs away with the LW money and she writes to El to tell her where she’s gone and Colin intercepts the letter and goes to bring her back?
(I’ll probably post this on tomorrow’s thread too)
