Polin Week 2025

Day 2: Favorite Kiss

Favorite Polin Kiss (one of at least) is the epilogue kiss by the window, where Penelope had once sat at and looked across the Bridgerton house.

Colin and Penelope are happy, finally on the same page, their family is in a better place and they're both doing something they love to do.

Happy ending!

Polin Week Day Two - Favourite Kiss

The Modiste Bitch-off kiss!

Colin was in his head, unable to believe Penelope loved him (and they were to be married the next day, omg).

Penelope screamed "I love you" at him. It was her bolder LW side coming out... and Colin liked it.

Colin literally vibrated with lust. Grabbed his tiny wife and fingered her against a shop door on a public street.

istg Polin's bdsmtest.org score for exhibitionist kink is 100% (I love to see it). Freaks in the streets and the sheets 🤭

Best kiss for me

Polin Week - Forced Proximity fic rec

Put Me Back In It

but it won't be enough | polin week day 1: angst

All the polinweek contributions are making me happy 🥰

I want to participate but I’m moving houses at the moment (real life in the way) 😭 so I’m just going to add the synopsis of my angsty fic that makes me cry every time I add on it. I hope to put this out next week when it’s less crazy.

“Yes, my lord?” his wife, a picture of contentment, who never showed any sign of distress over the whole child-business, looked at him. Her eyes always startled him. Having the colour of the sky, there was a clarity, strength, and honesty in it that he felt he could never match.

He would regret his decision later. And he would plead forgiveness to every god he encountered if only to offload the burden of what he was about to get his wife to do.

Alfred willed his nerves to calm down. Took a deep breath. Closed his eyes for a moment and looked at Penelope.

“What do you say to finding a surrogate whom you can have a child with?

—- from The Surrogate Chapter 1

——

Synopsis: Alfred and Penelope are newly married but they discovered that they cannot have children. A plan to get a surrogate changes the course of their lives forever.
