how i finally met your mother: a Polin love story by FanOfFics for Mimimoon2007

Summary
Kids,
The moment I first saw your mother I knew she was The One. Fate, with its great sense of humor, had ensured I’ve been 🤏close to meeting her so many times before.
I’ve met my fair share of insightful, interesting, intriguing, infuriating and intoxicating women in the wildest of circumstances: as a teenage pen pal, an online nemesis, a flirty discord situationship, even got myself a wedding plus-one from an online app. But these virtual romances always flickered; something was missing. And as if I wasn't trying hard enough, my meddling siblings conspired to set me up with a blind date for Daphne's wedding.
The truth is, I was learning to trust this chaotic journey through life, despite the pain and self-doubt. Every connection, every goodbye, was merely another piece falling into place in an elaborate 3D puzzle, unveiling her as the woman I was meant to find.
And the biggest lesson life taught me was this: true connection comes from the most unexpected sources, demanding we shed our masks. While revealing our true selves carries a price, for the right person, unfolding every hidden part of our heart is infinitely worth it.
Because it led me to the love of my life.

Summary
A raging storm hits London and creates a cosmic mix up. Colin Bridgerton is flung into modern times – away from his son and pregnant wife – while the actor who plays him, Luke Newton, finds himself in an unusual circumstance as well; suddenly playing the role of husband, estate manager and soon-to-be-second-time father for real. The two men will need a little help navigating their new realities until it all gets sorted out.
**Please note**: There is no Lukola relationship in this fic beyond friendship! However, the nature of this story involves a few suggestive situations (teen rated only!) between them and their Regency counterparts. 💜

R/Advice
“I (23,F), has always had a crush on C (25, M), my best friend's (E, 23, F) brother. Before his last trip, at a party we shared a drunken kiss before he said sorry and left. Since then, we have been friendly but something changed. I tried to move on, and began dating for the past 2 weeks, A (28, M), a fine man who I am still exploring things with. Last night, at C’s welcoming party, he was his usual happy self and we talked like before, like nothing happened. However, I left the party early because I heard him say to B (28,M), his brother “Are you crazy, I’ll never date Pen!”. I said nothing and left pretending I had an urgent uni matter. What can I do? Should I just forget and focus on A? Any tips are welcomed”.Chapter 8 is part of the "We will have lessons event"!

What a Barb, Aggie! by frizzerella

Summary
When Penelope and Colin get a call from Aggie’s elementary school, they did not expect to stand opposite Eliza and Roger Trowbridge, with the couple’s son crying and accusing Aggie of bullying him.
“Mr. and Mrs. Bridgerton,” Headmistress Strelitz said, her authoritative voice reverberating throughout the cramped office. “Your daughter has said some very problematic things pertaining to the… legitimacy of Mr. and Mrs. Trowbridge’s son. It is very concerning, especially with regards to your home life. Er, what was it she said exactly, darling?” she addressed the little ginger boy.
The little boy in question sniffled, his eyes red-rimmed and misty, “She said my daddy is not my real daddy because I look more like our driver!”
Penelope and Colin looked at each other in alarm while Mrs. Trowbridge whispered an audible, “Oh, for fuck’s sake.”
“Is this true, Agatha?” inquired Principal Strelitz.
Aggie nodded fervently, looking vindicated, “Yes, but it’s true! I heard mama and papa say so!”
