It’s been a while! 👋🏻
I won’t lie, I came here to check AO3’s status cos it’s down.
And I realised I’ve not been here in months!
When AO3 is working again, I have some updates. Maybe I’ll come back 👀
No idea but it’s SO good 👀 she’s a star
It’s been a minute since I was on here.
Life updates:
I’ve been sick and rewatching bridgerton s3. It has replaced 1995p&p as my go to sick day entertainment.
I had *some news* and spiralled deep into POLIN fan fiction to keep myself afloat.
I’m considering buying a houseboat.
2 Chaotic 2 Bridgerton
POLIN are happily married. Then Felicity shows up.
72k. Modern AU. Sequel to chaotic lives.
Brilliant, dramatic, full of POLIN love and the absolute DYNAMITE babe that is Hyacinth Bridgerton. V excited for the Hy/Gareth sequel 👀.

If I’m butter (then she’s a hot knife)
Colin denies he’s in love with pen. He freaks out when he realises he’s been lying to himself.
Modern AU. 52k. 🌶️🌶️
A beautiful love letter to our fave couple. A little spice, used well narratively. Mostly lots of love.

Life advice.
Pen is given a sex advice column. Except she doesn’t have any experience. Enter Fran, El and… Colin.
Modern AU. 110k. 🌶️🌶️. Low angst. Obsessed. It’s so well written and has a lovely arc. Worth every minute. I’m going to go reread it in full.

Slower at updating cos I’m reading WIPs.
Friends can kiss
It’s Christmas and as best friends, POLIN are dared to kiss by the bridgey sibs. Realisations follow.
Modern AU. 34k. 🌶️🌶️🌶️ Smut with plot but it’s sweet and full of lovely feelings and a little drama.

🥰🥰🥰 awesome. All fingers crossed that threads remains a sane safe space for unhinged bridgerton discussions.
LOVED IT. 10/10 no notes.
A wintery black and white image of the Eiffel Tower surrounded by leafless trees.
Went to Paris.
Stayed in “the tree lined streets of le Marais”.
Thought way too much about Colin.
Saw the Eiffel Tower.
Wish I had met Colin, not a man in a gorilla suit.
Came home.
#BridgertonS3 #POLIN
I forget how much work I’ve put into Threads to basically have a 95% #POLIN and 5% #TaylorSwift feed. The realisation when I come on her and see OTHER content makes me very sad. I like my bubble, don’t try and make me engage with other things 😭
🤣 something like that…
Poor, poor pen. Hope she gets some sleep tonight 🫠
Also, I read this on the train. The last chapter really needed me to be alone in a darkened room…where the giggling and kicking my feet could happen without disturbing an entire carriage of people 👀

👋🏻 I’m just seeing it as more opportunities to connect with the lovely fandom.
Now I’m going to have to go read a book instead 😭
🤣 THE TRAGEDY. I’m so sorry. 😭
One of the best imo 🥰
I’ve gone from 4 posts to 94 because of this list. To give you an idea of sheer quantity…🫣
I’ve updated the thread with some new recs. At an attempt to be less unhinged over POLIN I’m currently only reading WIP (which is slowing me down). The speed of my fic reading was unsustainable so I’ve had to change tack! Anyway, a few newer ones on there, if you want to scroll 🫣
I knew you were waiting for me.
POLIN get stuck at an inn during a snow storm on the way to Aubrey Hall. There is only one bed.
Regency AU. 7k. 🌶️.
A little regency romp with Pen pretending to be a widow and Colin being, well, Colin.

Alone together.
POLIN are chidhood friends who are very curious. And then they grow up to be young lovers.
Regency AU. 13k. 🌶️
Quirky little story about young people and their curiosity and a lack of sex education. 👀

Bathwater.
Pen and Colin are estranged friends. Until one Christmas at Aubrey hall, Colin sees Pen in the bath, in his room.
1940s AU. 15k. 🌶️.
Quite enjoyed this AU, a fun concept! POLIN are cute. And it’s Christmassy.

Wrong number.
Pen gets a breakup text from an unknown number just before Christmas. And she responds…👀
Modern AU. Text fic. 38k. It is SO GREAT. They’re hilarious together and I love them. Colin is chaos. So are the Bridgertons. We love chaos Colin.
archiveofourown.org/works/609767...
Dont even know if this is the end, but shout out to all the fab fic writers who spend their free time writing for us to enjoy and inhale their work. Love you guys. (And one day I’ll I work out how to tag you 🥰)
Ok! Thread posted. Nothing new… yet. 👀👀
Vanilla ice cream and Oreos
Pen breaks up with Alfred. Colin comes to the rescue. Bridgey sibs are v amused. Colin exercises *some* self control. But somehow they end up dancing around the obvious very quickly…
Modern au. 41k. 🌶️🌶️🌶️.
A satisfyingly SLOW BURN.

A New Year’s resolution.
El goes nuclear on Pen with disasterous consequences. A year later Colin reconnects with Pen to fulfil an awkward request. Sort of.
Modern AU. 25k. 🌶️🌶️💗💗.
Written in real time. Fun. Lots of POLIN love. Violet is an unhinged QUEEN.
