POLIN JEALOUSY/ADVICE ONE-SHOT
Colin fights his jealousy after watching Penelope and Lord Debling dancing together at a ball, is teased by Benedict, and seeks advice from Violet.
The silver beads threading Penelope's hair seemed to glow like tiny moons. If he'd had parchment and pen, Colin might've noted the perfect juxtaposition of fiery red locks and sparkling silver. He noticed everything--the way her dress swayed so effortlessly against the floor despite her stiff grip on Lord Debling. Was it only Colin's imagination, or did her gloved fingertips hover an inch from his shoulders?
…perhaps he was only imagining it. He reminded himself that Penelope's stiffness was for the sake of propriety. Of course she’d want to touch Debling. He was a gentleman, for one, and even Colin had to admit that he had his own upper-class swagger. A little posh for Colin’s tastes, but from the looks being cast his way across the ballroom floor, Colin knew the lord had made a lasting impression on this season’s eligible debutantes.
Colin hastened for a sip of wine, only to discover that he had drained his glass. He turned away as a certain red-headed beauty twirled across the floor (more gracefully than he had ever allowed himself to notice). He nearly dropped his glass as he struck Benedict in the chest.
“Steady there, brother,” Ben said, putting a hand against Colin’s heaving chest. “What’s the hurry?” He cast a glance over Colin’s shoulder, and the pieces seemed to fall into place. “I’ll say, your friend seems to be enjoying herself. If ‘enjoying yourself’ is best expressed by a scowl, that is.” He tipped his glass. Colin shot him a glare, even though his heart lifted a bit at this last sentiment.
“Oh, don’t be such a grouch,” Ben said, pushing his glass into Colin’s available hand. “While you’re at the table, fetch me another drink, won’t you?”
“I’m not your waiter,” Colin huffed, stifling the urge to turn back to the dance floor once more. It was like an itch, only scratching it burned like a rash.
“You could do with a break. Somehow my ‘sturdy’ little brother has spent the night looking quite pathetic in the corner.”
“I’m not pathetic,” Colin said, and pain tightened his chest.
Ben rolled his eyes, still looking across the dance floor. “Say, maybe I ought to have a word with this Debling fellow. See if his eye for art is as keen as his eye for a wife.”
“Give him my best,” Colin grumbled, sounding more pathetic by the second.
Benedict gave him a sturdy pat on the shoulder. “And you, give Ms. Featherington your best while I do it. Now, hurry along now and get those drinks before the dance is over.” With a wink, he rejoined the sea of lords and ladies.
Colin gazed across the open floor once more. The waltz was approaching its conclusion. Pen’s hair looked on fire in the torchlight. His mind wandered to the fragments of a dream—Pen in the garden, her eyes twinkling a magnetic blue, her lips a luscious pink. He had leaned in just enough to catch the scent of her hair—like the wisteria garden, only…newer, fresher, somehow, and then—
“Colin, dear. Are you feeling alright?” His mother’s voice stopped him in his tracks. Her brow furrowed, and he hurried to right himself, as he had taught himself to do long before Penelope had pounded her way into the forefront of his mind.
Some things, it seemed, had not changed. He had a guard up, and even his beloved mama could not crumble it.
“Very well, mother,” he managed, swaying slightly on his feet. “Merely...looking for a refill.”
“Not feeling up to a waltz tonight, I take it?” The look she gave him suggested she knew there was a particular reason for it—Colin was not one for skipping dances.
He had been avoiding his mother, he realized. Was that a flicker of hurt in her eyes? More than his brothers or sisters, Violet Bridgerton had always had an eye out for these things. And if that was the case, should he not be using her knowledge to his advantage?
“Mother,” he began, aware of the blush suffusing his cheeks. “Forgive me, I know we are in company, but I must ask. Do you believe the best foundation for love is friendship?”
She smiled, crinkling the skin around her eyes. Lovely eyes, so open and trusting. He suddenly hated himself for having avoided her, even if it was unintentional. Perhaps it was because of this conversation that he had kept himself from her.
And something told him that she knew this as well as she whispered, “I think you already know the answer to that.”

Does anyone else find a certain dark humor in the fact that Bridgerton is often symbolized by a bee and yet I feel like every Bridgerton should have a personal vendetta against them

I really appreciate the little SPOILER!!! warnings on twitter posts. I really do. But you best believe that if the only thing between me and the inside scoop on Ep1 of season 3 is a few dashes/indentions, there's no way I'm not looking. And that's on me

Only giving Colin a chance this season because “he had a glow up” is actually quite shallow

Maybe it’s just me bc I’m quick to defend Colin but I find all the I see so many backhanded comments calling Colin a clown or blind or whatever for not every time he genuinely calls Pen his friend legitimately don’t get the trope like this is a friends to lovers. It’s suppose to be slow. Also why can yall support Pen no matter what but need to complain about every time Colin breathes if he’s not catering to Pen?
Anyway I feel like most people are missing the magic of what they set up for Polin bc the want to rush through everything. We have seen how Colin gravitates towards Pen. We have seen how much he admires her. He checks in on her & thinks she clever & wort spending time with. He thinks all these things while not having romantic interest. Do you not realize how rare it is in the regency era to have a man genuinely care about a friendship with a woman when he’s not trying to get anything from her.
Like all of this is to build up to him understanding why he’s always been drawn to her & the build up just makes it that impactful

At this point I hope more than anything that those “spoilers” are wrong solely so I can look back and laugh at how the fandom blew this entire situation out of proportion
#I don’t believe it but even if I did I don’t think it’s all that bad tbh#like a short montage of Colin having sexy times isn’t the breaking point#bridgerton#polin#bridgerton season 3#bridgerton season3#luke newton#nicola coughlan

Bridgerton logic at it's finest
Season 1: I really want kids and marry for love. So I'm gonna marry this man who says he can't have kids and probably doesn't love me!
Season 2: I think I love this girl. So I'm gonna propose to her sister!
Season 3: I wanna win my friend back. So I'm gonna teach her how to woo men (especially me) and get unhinged jealous when it starts to work.
The Bridgertons trully are sharing a single braincell and Violet is in charge of it most of the time, lol.

"You are Penelope Featherington. Do not forget that."
🥺🥺🥺
I’m sorry, but if you watched that whole trailer and you chose to make a whole video about how Colin needs to be on his knees, begging and crying before he gets Pen then you simply don’t get it.
In the trailer, it shows us that even outside of romantic feelings Colin adores Penelope. In the sneak peek we got a few weeks ago he corrects her when she calls herself spinster. In the trailer he stops her when she calls herself a lost cause. This man will not let her talk bad about herself because he thinks she’s amazing without having romantic feelings for her.
Newsflash but people do not figure out their feelings at the same pace, and Colin isn’t some comic book villain because he’s figuring out his feelings after Penelope. He said a thoughtless and cruel thing. That one sentence does not change the way he treated Penelope in the past, and the way we see him treating her in the trailer which is with respect and admiration
#I love them and this is exactly right#Colin messed up just like so many of the other characters yet he's the one no one can forgive#doesn't make sense#bridgerton#polin

I genuinely love this candle symbolism.
For her, it’s been burning. For him, it’s finally igniting.
( And actually his candle is already low and a liiittttle bit lit, implying the love was always there, burning so low as to not be noticed, but surely burning nonetheless 🔥♥️ )
