‎‧₊˚✧Happy 10,000 Fics!✧˚₊‧

I started reading Polin when there were a couple hundred stories under the tag. For YEARS I’ve never once been without an amazing story to read.

Thank you authors and readers for all the work you do/have done to keep the tag vibrant and alive.

The way @lillywhitefield.bsky.social weaves Colin and Penelope into *every* world…she never ceases to amaze me.

Colin’s warlock powers✨How Pen’s pact affects Col✨AND Devil Bless Her…LW always finds a way to make it HOT as Hell ((Mind the tags)).

Happy Polinween!

Day 1 (Oct 18) for the Polinween Prompt Event is "Pumpkin" (and/or Haunted House). For some reason I thought this would be the fluffiest prompt day xD but the algorithm sent me these and now I think it might be the smuttiest prompt 🎃

Happy H🎃liday! For the past few years, the Polinators Discord server has hosted a Halloween Prompt Event. This year's list is ready, and I thought l'd share in case you're seeking some frightful (or delightful) inspiration.

Happy Anniversary, Polin and Polinators 🩵 One year ago, our souls left our bodies the moment we heard the string version of 𝘠𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸 drift in, carrying soon-to-be Penelope Bridgerton down the aisle, to her/our Colin.

“Welcome to Keaton Grove” explores a Season 3, Episode 1 canon divergence that expands the world of the show beyond Mayfair. I’m excited to see what Polin gets up to in the countryside 👀

An epistolary meet cute framed by chaotic Polin ‘babies’ and a proud Dad telling the story of how he met their Mother!

Chapter 1 is such fun and a perfect nod to our canonically letter loving duo.

This one shot is beautifully introspective, a story about what happens when you’ve spent your whole life, trying to be lovable and then decide to love yourself instead. It’s tender, aching and quietly defiant. Please (as always), read the tags and trigger warnings.

The writing is so sharp, the universe so thoughtfully built, I actually had to sit back and blink at the screen. It’s omegaVERSE…a whole universe, rooted in canon in a way that feels alive. The fantasy framework 𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴, the stakes. And a royal maze?!? It’s brilliant.

Colin told another influencer that his girlfriend’s name was Penelope (🤡) 🤝 Fake Dating Trope.

Pen not only has to navigate the influencer world, she has to do it while pretending to be the girlfriend of the man she’s been in love with for half of her life. Can she do it?

Pen sees Col with a baby/Pen tells Col she wants a baby 🔑🔓Breeding Kinks 𝘜𝘯𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘥

What if…….What…IF??? Pen travels to Aubrey Hall with the BTons instead of the FTons??? What then?!?

The way this author navigates canon moments in this s2 AU has my heart -`♡´- exploding with awe and love.

“There were, in fact, gemstone mines in Georgia.”

🚶🏻‍♀️walk with me. I want to tell you about something really special, a fanfic project that means a lot to me. It’s a crossover. It’s a caper. It starts with a cursed ruby, and somehow it’s still a Polin love story. 1🧵🪡
