    Summary

    In 1813, Colin went to bed in Bridgerton House the day before Daphne's societal debut. When he awakens after what seems like a normal night’s sleep, he's in bed with Penelope, and everything seems strangely altered. When Penelope also awakens believing it to be the day of her own debut, the pair work together to figure out where-and when-they are.

    This work is part of the Falling Again series but does NOT require the reader to have read all the previous fics to enjoy this one. If you're interested in reading a fic about pre-season 1 Polin ending up in a post-season 3 world, this fic is for you!

    Summary

    “Sometimes fate does not ask us to be brave, but to learn how to live with the weight of those who are no longer with us.”
    Colin, the third son of a proliferates family, always believed he was spared from burdens heavier than social obligations and polite appearances. But tragedy shatters that certainty, forcing upon him a responsibility he never imagined would rest on his shoulders.
    Needing all the help he can find, he decides to marry Penelope—his dearest friend, the one person he trusts to help him carry the role now demanded of him. Yet he does not realize that, in the past, he has already broken her heart.
    Amid grief, buried secrets, and quiet resentment, Colin and Penelope must face trials that threaten to carve a growing abyss between them.
    Can a broken heart still find hope in the midst of mourning?
    Can a love that has lived quietly for years to survive amidst so much pain.

    Summary

    Penelope Featherington thought she had left everything behind. After fleeing London aboard a ship bound for Greece, the last person she expected to encounter was Colin himself. Cold words, wounded hearts, and unspoken truths accompany them across the sea as they struggle through an awkward and painful voyage. 🚢

    When a violent storm tears their ship apart, Penelope and Colin find themselves stranded on a deserted island with only a few salvaged supplies... and a baby depending on them for survival. ⛈️🌊👶 Far from society, titles, expectations, and scandal sheets, survival becomes their first priority. Finding food. Building shelter. Protecting the child in their care. 🏕️🔥🍃

    Yet the greatest challenge may not be the island itself. Penelope must decide whether she can ever forgive the man who broke her heart... while Colin begins to realize that losing her might be the greatest mistake of his life. ❤️‍🩹

    Lost at sea. Alone in the world. And trapped with the one person they cannot escape.
    Will they find their way back home... or discover that home was never a place at all? 🌅💛🏝️

    Summary

    “Colin already thinks that I have entrapped him- he said so himself… and I cannot bear for an innocent child to get intertwined into his hatred of me. I have lived with parents that despise each other and I cannot bear the thought of me preserving that vicious circle…” Penelope’s voice breaks, but she continues anyway

    “So, I beg of you- Not as Lady Whistledown, but as Penelope, your friend, help me escape.”

    -

    After Colin’s entrapment accusations and a shocking revelation, Penelope decides leaving would be the best for everyone involved.
    No matter how much it breaks her.

    (Also there will be a Penelope and Lady Danbury friendship like in the books- because why the hell would they skip that in the show?)
