Summary
Penelope Bridgerton is left alone in her marital home, feeling lonely and lost when she has an unexpected revelation. She discovers that she is with child, two days after she sent the queen and her mother in law letters of being Lady Whistledown. She couldn't tell Colin, not after he still remained distanced from her, even after she poured her heart out to him and begged him to love her. Penelope decided she would flee Mayfair for the sake and the happiness of her child.
Will Colin be able to stop her from going when he finds out she is missing?This story starts in season 3 episode 8 after Francesca’s wedding, before the Butterfly Ball. As per the conversation between Polin at the Butterfly ball, it seems Colin was not staying with Pen in their house and she was all alone or they were apart even while being in the same house, it was not clear. I felt as though he had to be with her at such a time as a support and this is when Pen starts realising how lonely she is in this marriage. Here he is not staying with her.

A Scandalous Engagement by wildechilde17

Summary
In a regency society where debutantes must be Demonstrated, publicly, intimately, and without shame, Penelope Featherington was prepared to retire from society quietly. No husband, no fuss, no future.
Then came Colin Bridgerton.
Now engaged, very suddenly, and very publicly, the pair must navigate the treacherous waters of London high society, Bridgerton family chaos, and their own inconveniently escalating desire to do scandalous things that might force a special license.
Colin is many things: cheerful, charming, and endlessly obliging, but not nearly as shallow as he appears. Beneath the breezy wit and careless smile is a man who desperately wants to be good, for others, for Penelope, for himself. He doesn't mean to be rakish. He only wants to be enough. But every time he looks at Penelope, he finds a new reason to ruin her. Behind a curtain. On a chaise. Maybe during tea with Lady Danbury.
Unfortunately, his entire family is determined to prevent any impropriety until the wedding.
Colin Bridgerton has never followed rules, and he’s never met a curve or confession from Penelope he didn’t want to ruin himself on.

Summary
What if love gave you a second chance, not just to rewrite a moment, but to save a life?
Newly married to Penelope Featherington, Colin Bridgerton finds himself caught in a storm of unspoken fears and growing distance. But when fate intervenes, he’s given the rarest of gifts: the opportunity to live their story again… this time with his eyes, and heart, wide open.
In a world of whispered scandals, family bonds, and soul-deep love, Colin must fight to hold on to what he almost lost, and prove that sometimes, the greatest love stories begin not at the altar, but in the moments we choose to stay, to love, to listen.

Summary
Set in the here and now with flashbacks to the filming of Season 3, Curtain Fall explores the emotionally intense journey Nicola and Luke go on to bring Penelope and Colin's love story to the screen. How that process involved learning to trust each other and really understand one another. How the lines get blurred for them and they end up falling in love with one another. However, the odds seem stacked against them being able to confess their feelings to each other, and publicly presenting as a couple. Can they navigate the challenges to come together?

Summary
Colin was not a stranger to time travel, having travel forward in time nine months ago. Penelope, likewise, was theoretically familiar with time travel, since she heard about it from her husband. That doesn't lessen either of their panic when they wake up to find it's the day before Penelope's debut. Neither Colin not Penelope can imagine facing this without each other, especially as they wrestle with being separated from their spouses and children. Together, Colin from Falling Forward and Penelope from Here We Go Again try to navigate the 1813 social season, again… but the timeline seems to be different from what they remember, and some unexpected people show up, much to their surprise.

Summary
In 1814, Colin went to bed in Bridgerton House the day he returned from Greece. When he awakens after what seems like a normal night’s sleep, it’s 1816, he’s married to Penelope, and they have a four-month-old son. With no knowledge of what has happened in the previous two years, Colin tries to navigate a life that is very different from the one he left behind. Meanwhile, Penelope navigates being married to a version of Colin who does not remember their life together or their love for each other.
This is a companion fic to Here We Go Again, in which a happily married Colin goes to bed in 1816 but wakes up shortly after he returns from Greece in 1814. You do NOT need to have read Here We Go Again to read this. While there will be intentional connections and parallels, the two stories are independent.

Summary
I saw Colin approach Penelope for what seems to be an embrace in front of a mirror in the Valentine's Day preview of season 4 and my mind came up with this for a polin hug to finally occur in season 4 - WITH MARRIED POLIN.
And some teasing. Well, quite a lot of teasing. These two characters have a mind of their own. I cannot stop them.

Only when Colin Bridgerton finds her in her aunt's quaint cottage in the Scottish countryside, begging her to return to Mayfair for her third season did the world begin to spin again.

Summary
In S3 E7 after Colin makes his "entrapment" comment to Penelope, she decides to break off the engagement, confesses to the Queen and leaves for Ireland to stay with family.
Not realizing that she left with a BIG secret.
Two years later, she returns dirty-talking, sarcastic, wise-cracking, no nonsense badass, who's not afraid to throw hands and no longer gives a f@ck.
Im still working on the original fic that inspired this, Wildfire, but I had to write this one because I hated Colin's "entrapment" comment. I understand why he said it but it was still too cruel.
