Summary
Penelope Featherington meets Colin Bridgerton on an ordinary Sunday afternoon, parting with the promise to see him again and filled with hope for the future. But after tragedy strikes, everything changes, and Penelope and her family unexpectedly find themselves in the midst of the Bridgerton family, who accept them with open arms and open hearts. The question is - will Penelope allow herself to be loved and taken care of in the way she's only ever dreamed of, or will the guilt she feels for moving forward lead to more than just her own broken heart?

Summary
"London was supposed to be home. His family was here. Their house was here. Every childhood memory, every landmark of his past. And yet, it didn’t feel like home. Maybe that was why he traveled for so long, for such long stretches of time—searching for a comfort that didn’t exist.
There was no comfort in familiarity. But there wasn’t comfort in the unknown either."
Sad Boy™️ and Sad Girl™️ have a heart-to-heart about their families.

Summary
He was three, looking out the window in the back of the car after his first haircut when he first told them he wanted to go back. He remembers the raindrops that day, following them down the glass. They were going so fast.
“What was that?” his dad laughed, looking to his wife.
His mum turned in her seat, reaching out a hand to Colin’s cheek. There was a moment, then, just one. One where she knew that whatever she thought his statement was did not match his expression.
Violet Bridgerton knows her children, and she knew something was wrong.
But he was three. He was three fucking years old and so she took a breath and shook it away, told him they’d go back to the barber when his hair grew again.
At the time, it was just flashes.
Hazed flashes, all the time.
He wanted water again, he wanted waves. He wanted the coast and the breeze and her smile.
And this life was nice, but it wasn't that one, and though he was too young to understand, he understood at least that.
That the two lives were separate, even though he was not.

Secrets in the Dark by Stillpink

Summary
When Colin opened the door for Penelope that day, he hadn’t realized that his life as he knew it was about to change. As he took her coat, it hadn’t occurred to him that he didn’t have all the time in the world to smile at her or enjoy her smiles or to jokingly battle with Eloise over who would have the honor of escorting her to the dining room where everyone was gathered. No, Penelope was his, ever since childhood, and he couldn’t conceive of a world where he didn’t have his best friend.

Summary
Colin Bridgerton had it all: a beautiful wife, four beautiful children, and a fulfilling career.
Saying he’s content is an understatement; he loves this life.
That is until he’s yanked from this reality and finds himself in the hospital, awakening from a coma.
It turns out he is not married and never has been. Penelope’s just his friend, his children don’t exist, and his perfect job is merely a pipe dream.
On a journey of rehabilitation, self-discovery, and grief, Colin must come to terms with the life he has and build it into the one that he dreamed of.
…trying to convince the girl he’s known as his wife of their wonderful life together shouldn’t be too tricky, right?

Nuzzled Noses by WrensSymphony
Fandoms: Bridgerton Series - Julia Quinn, Bridgerton (TV)
23 Jan 2025
Tags
Summary
From the moment of their accidental meeting as young children through the trauma of hurt and loss, the heartbreak of adolescence, and the confusion of young adulthood, Colin and Penelope's connection anchors them both.
This story aims for hurt and comfort in equal measure as it follows the "platonic best friends" (really, though?) as they grow up, with time jumps between each chapter as we see them navigate their lives together. Their story is one of true friends to lovers, where lines blur and it's hard to see where friendship ends and love begins, because perhaps they've been together all along.
*CW: This is NOT a dark fic, but does contain mature themes, specifically a child abuse storyline.*

Summary
Colin doesn't regret teasing Benedict into telling Sophie about his feelings. He doesn't even regret making a bet he knew he'd lose. He should have, however, thought twice about the penalty he agreed to when he lost.
But when Penelope Featherington is his tattoo artist, maybe the pain won't be so bad.
