Summary
Penelope awakes next to her husband, Colin, as she does every morning. Soon, it becomes apparent that all is not what she had known. She's not a complete stranger to unusual experiences with time. A year before, Colin had awoken with no memory of the past two years, and a strange dream led her to believe that her Colin was in their own past. Now, she finds herself in a time where much seems altered, but Colin seems very familiar.
Two years ago, Colin awoke two years in his own past. He's made peace with the life he's found with this version of Penelope and their children, Agatha and Elliot. But he still misses the version of Penelope he left behind. One morning, he notices something is very wrong with Penelope, and he's determined to find out what it is.

Nurse by KatofKanals for gildedruin

Summary
Colin is supposed to be abroad and drinking, touring, and perhaps even raking his way across the continent. Instead, he is stuck in England managing a modest yet still cumbersome country estate, grieving a recently deceased wife who apparently never loved him, and caring for a pair of newborn twin babies sired by a former lover of that same wife of his. He is trapped in a perpetual state of wretchedness as he tries to come to terms with so many seemingly insurmountable responsibilities before him. The only recent success comes in the form of a wet nurse he managed to hire. He is certain the disarming young redhead with abundant curves will be able to offer the babies the care and nourishment they so desperately require. With that rather significant concern off his plate, he expects he will be left with more time to wallow and slowly descend deeper into a state of despair in peace. He is not prepared, however, for that nurse’s unique brand of tenderness and care to extend beyond the twins, and he is certainly not prepared for the ways in which she just might be capable of healing his broken heart and soul.

How Colin Came Full Circle by Anonymous
Fandoms: Bridgerton (TV), Bridgerton Series - Julia Quinn

Summary
Colin Bridgerton, freshly divorced and deep in a midlife crisis, sets off on a journey of reinvention. Road trips, reckless choices, and a late-blooming romance he once thought impossible. With Penelope, he rediscovers intimacy, creativity, and the thrill of being seen — building a relationship that feels like both a second chance and a long-overdue beginning.
But years later, as the chaos of family life settles into routine, Colin confronts a truth he cannot ignore: his love for Marina never faded. Where Penelope represents the fantasy of what might have been, Marina is the enduring reality woven into his children, his memories, and his very bones.
What begins as a story of crisis and rediscovery transforms into one of acceptance and clarity. Colin’s journey isn’t about chasing youth or lost opportunities — it’s about choosing honesty. In the end, he realizes his midlife crisis is over not because he found something new, but because he embraced the love that had always been there: Marina.

Summary
Eloise Bridgerton is determined to not let her spinsterhood define her. She intends to continue to break the status quo and stray away from the herd, but not in an act of rebellion but in an act of empowerment.
She is determined to never wed, to never have children like the rest of her siblings and is determined to live a life that is fulfilled and happy without a man.
But it takes only one letter from a certain Sir Phillip Crane to completely alter her off course. What does she do when he gives her the opportunity to work for him? What does she do when she meets her pen pal and his mischievous children?
Read her journey of self-discovery and love as Eloise tries to redefine what it really means to be a woman in society.
Phillip doesn't want to repeat the generational cycle of trauma he received from his childhood onto his children. He puts duty and honor above his own happiness; so much so he does not believe he is worthy of love due to his bad luck.
But Miss Bridgerton's arrival into his life threatens to alter his entire trajectory and wreck his plans forever.
My take on S5 of Bridgerton with Eloise and Phillip as the leads.

Summary
Before the fights and the couples’ therapy and the slow, inevitable drift. Before the night he came home from work to find Marina on the sofa, pale and drawn, already knowing every word that was about to come out of her mouth (because the words were already on his tongue, weren’t they?). Before the thousands spent on divorce lawyers and moving into the sad flat Anthony found for him and having to tell the fucking kids (worst bit – Oliver had gotten so quiet and Amanda had cried silently; wouldn’t let either of them touch her).
He could have gotten out of it. Ben had called him and said we can find someone else in a way that made it very clear they probably couldn’t, and Colin being Colin (reliable; helpful – a dope, maybe), had said no, no, I’ll do it.
Which is how he ends up in Bari, parked in a service station in a cramped hire car; forty-five; divorced; and about to embark on a two-week trip across Italy he had booked in an attempt to save his marriage. Without, you know, his wife.
.OR: post-divorce, Colin Bridgerton takes his friend Penelope on a road trip to Italy

Summary
Eloise Bridgerton expected a quiet country visit. What she found at Romney Hall was an untamed garden, two mischievous five-year-olds, and a widower with far too many secrets ... and far too kind a smile.
One week in Gloucestershire was supposed to be an experiment. Instead, it becomes a whirlwind of laughter, mischief, candlelit greenhouses, and the sort of stolen glances that make a girl wonder if perhaps, just perhaps, she’s finally met her match.

Summary
Penelope Featherington thought romantic notes, flowers, and coffee left quietly on her desk were just the stuff from fiction — until she started receiving them every single day at work.
For six months, she tried to figure out who was behind the sweet gifts. Someone who knew her favorite novel, her go-to coffee order, and the exact words that made her heart race.
On the other side of the mystery, Colin Bridgerton was perfectly content being a hopeless romantic in hiding — until his best friend lost patience and called in to 98.3 FM’s Dirty Work Wednesday. Live. On air. For the entire city to hear. Especially Penelope.
Now, with swooning listeners, nosy coworkers, and a lunchtime poet suddenly in the spotlight, what once was a secret has turned into a very public love story.
And maybe — just maybe — love really is on the air.
