Summary
In a world where the marriage ritual leaves a permanent mark on you, the word that reflects your match’s first impression of you appears in your skin.
—•—
Penelope had known since she was eight years old who she would marry. She had heard stories about him, how brave and noble he was, and spent her whole life in love with the boy in the picture.
Something that had never crossed Penelope’s mind, however, was the possibility that Colin Bridgerton would be disappointed upon meeting her.
“Speak now, Penelope, with clarity and conviction. What is the word, bestowed upon you by the gentleman ordained as your match, that defines you in his eyes?”
The celebrant’s voice suddenly felt like a distant hum, her vision blurred by the tears welling up in her eyes. On her wrist, visible to anyone close enough to read it, was written her word with golden letters.
Shallow.

Summary
"They might've made it a couple more years, might've gotten by on things half-said and half-felt. She sees all the fights they have now, all the ways they let it through and imagines them tighter, wider, fading. There'd be a moment – because there always would have been a moment – where it would have broken. Because it was fragile, always. From the moment she met him it was fragile because they each held an end half-hearted. A piece of glass made of all that they were, her hands sweaty and failing, his mindless, distracted.
One of them would have let go. One of them would have taken a hand off the thing and pointed towards it, but that would've been the end. Two hands, both of them, they both have to be holding it or the thing slips away, falls and shatters."
This one is for the Modiste Bitch Off™ lovers.

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?)
