The opposite of “manic pixie dream girl” is “depressed goblin nightmare man,” and, judging by this site, it’s just as attractive to some.
Can we just appreciate how Tom kept the secret from everybody while filming Far From Home? Because that's a BIG part of both the end of Endgame and Far From Home. Like the Russo Bros wouldn't even give our boi™ the full script for Endgame. Our little Tommy boy CAN keep a secret.
Polin Modern aus -
august - Every August the Bridgertons show up in the tiny town at the sea Penelope lives in. And for just that one month, he's hers.
The Wager - Penelope can’t sleep because Colin’s rakish ways in the room next door keep her up at night. So they make a bet.
~ A modern take on Penelope’s request for a kiss ~
Down Bad - Penelope drunkenly confesses her love to her best friend’s brother, leaving her mortified come morning.
Two months later, in a desperate attempt to move on, she brings her new boyfriend to the Bridgerton’s annual weekend away.
But if Colin Bridgerton doesn’t love her back, why does he look like he wants to kill him?
Hickey - Two weeks after their breakup, Penelope shows up with a suspicious love-bite on her neck.
Colin is burning with jealousy thinking of the man he must murder now.
It's You I Like - Colin has finally grown tired of traveling all over the world with nowhere to really call home, so he's moved back home and taken a job at his brother Anthony's company.
On a mission to rescue his stolen car keys from his sister Eloise, he encounters Penelope Featherington for the first time in a few years. They were friends once, but drifted apart when he spent the majority of his time thousands of miles away.
When they find themselves watching a steamy scene on a tv show together, sparks fly unexpectedly. Was it just the heat of the moment? Or could there be more to this red-headed wallflower than meets the eye?
Black and Blue - After Colin goes off to Greece again, leaving Penelope again heartbroken, Penelope decided to move on and is in a relationship with Angus. Penelope has lost her sparkle though, and Eloise is utterly beside herself with worry about her best friend. Can Colin come home and save her?
Can I tell you a secret? (He's not you) - When Colin has too much to drink at a family gathering, Penelope takes him home and a secret is revealed that could change their friendship forever…
My Give's a F*cks Are On Vacation - Penelope has a secret…since the age of 13-years-old, she has been in love with best friend Eloise’s 17-year-old brother Colin. She had always convinced herself she would be happy with her love being unrequited…she’s his little sister’s bestie, anything else would be a bonus.
It’s just a pity that for the last three years, she’s also been Colin’s ‘friends with benefits’ friend. I mean, it’s not like Colin could ever want a relationship…technically he already has a very public girlfriend…his fellow presenter Marina, on his travel log TV show. So what if it is only a showmance with his co-presenter?
However, after their latest hook up, Penelope overhears Colin talking to the press and realises Colin is never going to see her as anything more than a friend and she finally decides to move on with her life. She’s 26 years old…she can’t give the best years of herself to a friend looking for benefits, right?
So what if she decides to take her new boyfriend Alfie Debling on the Bridgerton family vacation and Colin unexpectedly turns up? They were never in a real relationship…it should be perfectly okay…except Colin has a secret too…
Eloise really picked the wrong time to let her ‘Give A Fucks’ go on vacation.
vacay - Penelope and Eloise have been friends for four years now, and this summer she gets invited to the annual "Bridgerton Vacay" (yeah, it's a thing).
or.: Penelope has this huge crush on Eloise's older brother and now has to spend 10 days with him and his family on vacation.
Lady Sings the Blues - Before leaving for India, Colin had a one-night stand with the mysterious lead singer of a band he saw at a local club. Months later, he's back home but still unable to get the mystery woman out of his mind.
When he runs into her again at Benedict's costume party, the pair pick up right where they left off and they end up in bed together again. Only this time, she doesn't disappear in the dead of night. Instead, he finds himself waking up next to none other than his sister's mousy best friend, Penelope Featherington.
cardigan - Penelope Featherington leads a quiet life. She goes to work, she takes care of her family and every Friday evening she meets her friends for dinner.
That is, until, the Colin Bridgerton, famous Hollywood actor, opens the door to her best friend's apartment.
Colin Bridgerton should be happy with the life he's leading. He's famous. He's newly single. He has everything money can buy. But something's missing.
across the hall - “After years of traveling all over the world, seeing incredible things and meeting fascinating people, Colin Bridgerton took everyone by surprise when he said he was coming home and wanted to pursue teaching.
He reached out to Penelope first, asking for advice and a bit of help with the certification process. Penelope was glad to help him; her heart was warmed by Colin’s newfound passion for education, and slowly but surely, Colin was ready to apply for teaching positions. It wasn’t until he had secured a spot at Penelope’s school that she began to grow nervous.”
Childhood friends Colin and Penelope teach in classrooms across the hall from one another. Penelope, in her fourth year of teaching English, shows first-year-teacher Colin the ropes of their now shared profession. As they spend more time together throughout the term, the pair come to see one another in a new light, and the lines between friendship and something more begin to blur.
Fairground Attractions - The day of the Mayfair Fair makes Colin confront his feelings when there is an accident. Eloise has to live with the fact that her last words, full of anger, might be the last she would say to her friend.
Francesca/Penelope friendship era.
What's a Little Sex Between Friends - When Colin learns that Pen's lack of time for a relationship hasn't dimmed her need for sex, he offers up his cock to spare her from the purported dangers of booty calls. Who knows, maybe he can convince her to want more. Specifically, with him. He'll at least have a grand time trying.
Pen has missed out on too much in life because of her blasted unrequited love for Colin. Realising that the only way to be rid of him is to let him break her heart, she decides to stop holding back and freefall into love. And onto his cock. A few orgasms will help hasten her towards her goal, after all.
Swirling sex into friendship poses complications; and between assumptions, equivocations, and a complete inability to ask for what they want, Colin and Penelope find that there is nothing little about 'a little sex between friends.'
invisible string - At ten she first enters his life. At eighteen he falls in love with her. At twenty-six he loses her.
Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton meet at eight and ten. He dreams of making it big as a musician, she dreams of staying close to home. But somehow, something keeps them together, some invisible strings keeping their lives intertwined, even when they don’t want to be.
And isn't it just so pretty to think all along there was some invisible string tying you to me?
It's Just Sex - “Hey,” Colin said sheepishly, anxiously brushing his hand behind his neck. “I’ll take your virginity if — you know — if you want me to.”
Platonic sex, sex between friends, friends having platonic sex.
It won’t be a problem, right?
Or the classic: ‘I’ll take your virginity but don’t fall in love with me” finds everything they’re looking for in a person who ‘just wants to get over with having sex for the first time so they can get over the mental hurdle and start dating around.”
a dozen days in december - Twelve days before Christmas, Penelope joins Colin and his family at Aubrey Hall for their annual holiday celebrations. Festive traditions, close proximity and meddling Bridgertons might finally be enough to push these two horny idiots over the edge.

5. Courage turning into recklessness: A character's courage can morph into reckless behavior, endangering themselves and others due to an overestimation of their abilities.
6. Determination becoming stubbornness: Excessive determination can lead to stubbornness, where a character refuses to consider alternative perspectives or change their course of action, even when it's detrimental.
7. Optimism becoming naivety: Unwavering optimism can transform into naivety, causing a character to overlook dangers or be easily deceived.
8. Protectiveness turning into possessiveness: A character's protective nature can evolve into possessiveness, where they become overly controlling and jealous in relationships.
