The Distance Between Us by donnathemommy
Fandoms: Bridgerton (TV), Bridgerton Series - Julia Quinn
14 Mar 2026

Summary
After overhearing Colin Bridgerton declare that he would “never dream of courting Penelope Featherington,” Penelope does the only thing she can: she lets him go.
Colin leaves for the Continent with her silence following him across every border, only to discover that distance does not lessen regret—or longing. The more he writes, the more he realizes that every city, every wonder, and every mile means less without the one person he most wishes to share them with.
But when he finally returns to London, love may prove easier to confess than the truth Penelope has kept hidden for years.
Or: One careless sentence broke Penelope's heart. It took a continent for Colin to understand why.

Summary
Penelope Featherington is packing up her life and moving to Dublin — new country, new city, new people, a Creative Writing MA at Trinity, and a real shot at finishing her novel. Fresh start, clean slate, no complications. She had a spreadsheet. It had tabs. She had thought of everything.
She had not thought of Colin. She had definitely not thought about living with him.

Summary
"Time isn't cruel, it's indifferent to those who hesitate too much."
Colin Bridgerton always believed he would have time. Time to clarify words spoken carelessly, time to mend silences. He was still young, he had a purpose to pursue. But time and society don't wait for the indecisive, and he knew his time had run out when he saw Penelope walk down the aisle with another man and understood that love isn't lost all at once... it's lost with small acts of cowardice.
But despite that, time is sometimes capricious and forgiving to the repentant. Colin is given a second chance to right his wrongs, to change his destiny, but secrets and mistakes become an obstacle, and he will learn that things aren't as easy as he thought.
Will Colin be able to repair the damage he has caused and have the woman he loves by his side before she decides to move on?Bookmarked by Alice987

Summary
Colin walks away from her and Penelope gets the sudden urge to film the moment. She picks up her phone and starts recording just as the applause for Francesca is dying, and captures Colin taking a steadying breath. Right before he exits to the stage, he turns to look at her once more. When he sees Penelope filming, he smirks, sticks his tongue out and winks at her, and then the public roars again as he appears under the spotlights.
The video will be amazing, she knows. A blend of Colin, the famous artist and Colin, the goofy boy she fell in love with condensed in twenty seconds. Penelope has spent her whole life believing she could only have space in Colin’s life if she resigned herself to be the best friend who would never ask for more, but tonight is proving to be different.

Summary
The room seemed to tilt sideways, so much so that Colin felt the need to grip the doorframe until he thought the wood might splinter beneath his fingers. Anthony being left at the altar. That dreadful Whistledown article about Eloise. The Featherington Ball. All of those things had happened.
They had happened months ago.
He had danced through that night drunk on victory, had attended Anthony’s much more successful wedding to Kate in August, had gone on to his second tour. He had returned to London just days ago for the new season. He had attended the Danbury Ball. He had spoken to Penelope on the terrace. He had gone to Mondrich’s and gotten drunk and punched Fife in the face and given his father’s sleeve buttons to a beggar and—
—and died.
Or: Colin Bridgerton being an idiot...repeatedly

Summary
It slowly sinks in that he pictured his best friend while he was jerking off. God. He must be absolutely, unequivocally mental.
He hears her soft laughter again in his head and his chest aches. It is as though she is pressing on the bruise with her small fingers.
Yes, very, very much mental indeed, he decides.
Or the one where Penelope stops speaking to Colin and he, well, he has sex dreams about her.
