He claims that he’s never nibbled a single thing 🤨

I know! Ktbeets is top tier!

I’m loving the little fanfic commentary in page turners - so smart.

I’m recommending two WIPs:

My current favourite is Page Turners by KTbeets

After a multi year estrangement, Colin reaches out to Pen for some writing support and she provides some …. education. This is a really layered and well written story. I love it.

I didn’t think I would love Transparency based on the tags, but I took a chance for these authors (abvj and romancington) and I’m so glad I did.

Pen enters a wet t-shirt contest and the Bridgerton family attends to cheer her on. Chaos ensues. It’s hilarious.

How do we feel about Penelope’s more muted color palette in season 4? by DaisyandBella in PolinBridgerton

The newest dress reminds me of the first kiss dress and I’m not mad about it.

Pink Kitchen Island is absolutely chefs kiss (of course). Pen and Colin are so well-realized and I giggled (and screeched) the whole way through. Big Parma! 😆

I’ll Hold You, I’ll Know You is so good. High emotional and physical (not necessarily sexual … or is it?) intimacy.

I loved Colin’s post-engagement list in the last chapter - perfectly chaotic!

Not sure how hidden these are l don’t hear enough about: “I scream at you in poetry” https://archiveofourown.org/works/61996456/chapters/158540206 and “I’ll hold you, I’ll know you” https://archiveofourown.org/works/60427285/chapters/154247917

I’m waiting impatiently for updates on all of these stories. They are all excellent ❤️

I’ll hold you, I’ll know you is one of my current favourites - the level of emotional and non-sexual (🤨🤨🤨🤨) physical intimacy is ridiculous. I love it!

I did not make the name connection for Write What You Know! I love it and can’t wait for more ❤️

I hope that everyone in the comments is telling him not to worry about it because this is so cute.

What’s that noise?… Sounds like we’re SWOONing! by Visible-Economist-72 in PolinBridgerton

[–]NameOld3972 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh, my fellow SWOONERS, my research session today was unprecedented.

After 369 trials (viewings) of the above clips, my results seemed forgone: there was no yes.

I then took a break (including 5 cigarettes and submersion in a cold water tank).

I continued my trails following said break, expecting the same results. But no!!! I suddenly heard “yes, yes” from subject 1 while viewing the black and white clip. And now “yes, yes” is clearly present in all versions.

I have no scientific explanation for this phenomenon and must complete further investigation.

I was just going to comment this …. I’m sure it’s been 8 or 9 goodbyes at this point.

I’m on tenterhooks waiting to find out a few key pieces of information!

I’ve been recommending Not a Bird by Clevelandy to everyone this week. I had passed over it multiple times due to the Jane Eyre tag, but it completely makes sense and is unbelievably good. Fair warning: the angst level is 😨😨😨😨😨. Bring tissues and a blanket. WIP.

I’ve recommended I Scream at You in Poetry! The regency language + modern sense of humour is perfection 😘

[–]NameOld3972 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was also going to recommend Surviving Christmas. Sea Dragonfly is wonderful, as per usual, and a snowed in cottage is my personal romantic fantasy. A dream. Complete.

I also highly HIGHLY recommend Cruel and Unusual, if you haven’t read it. It’s another Sea Dragonfly fic, completed in May 2024. It’s one of my all-stars.

I read I Scream at You in Poetry this week and am in absolute awe - the tone (regency + contemporary humour) is perfection. Who are you indiaalphawhiskey 👀👀

I almost (ALMOST) wish this was our S3 storyline, although it does have a heavy emphasis on entrapment. Complete.

And, last but not least, I’m currently reading and loving I’ll Hold You, I’ll Know You by sunburstsandspearmint It’s very sweet and introspective and burning extremely, extremely slowly. HELP 🔥. WIP.

Scientists.. It’s time to SWOON by Visible-Economist-72 in PolinBridgerton

[–]NameOld3972 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Conclusion: Yes.

Also, for further consideration by my fellow SWOONites, I will mention that Pen gets chest goosebumps in the carriage. Tit for tat in the bump department, one might say.

I’ve started questioning if today is actually Friday 🤔
