    Summary

    Having lost the two people she cared about the most in one night, Penelope had to make a choice: Find a husband by the end of the season or face being shipped off to Ireland and live the rest of her life under her mother's thumb.

    Determined to move on from Colin for good, she put her wallflower days behind her and started actively participating in the marriage mart. However, despite her efforts, she could not run from him forever.

    After successfully avoiding him for the first three balls of the season, her luck had run out and she found herself trapped in a room with him, in Cressida's home, no less.

    Will their friendship recover from the hurt? From the pain? Or perhaps, will their relationship take another turn altogether?

    Summary

    “Thank you. For all your kindness. If I secure a proposal, it will be because of you.”

    She turns from him and takes one step before his hand darts out to catch hers.

    “Please do not leave,” he murmurs, thumb gently tracing the inside of her wrist, feeling her pulse leap under his touch, “not yet. There is still so much I need to say.”

    .....

    Summary

    Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton are soon to wed but in deep conflict about the future of Lady Whistledown. Neither Colin nor Eloise can seem to forgive her and as the wedding approaches, Penelope is forced to face what marriage may be like to a man she loves deeply but who may never see her as a whole person.

    This story embeds a mix of scenes and dialog from both the books and S3 of the TV series - though not always attributed to the same characters. AU storyline starting from a significant moment (that bugged me a lot) from the S3 Part2.

    Summary

    "He had sent Penelope- beautiful, innocent, perfect Penelope- the deviant writings of an absolute madman. Writings that detailed the way he wanted her, ways that were decidedly ungentlemanly. She was going to think he was deranged."

    Summary

    “Penelope.”

    “Please do not marry her.”

    It just came flying out of her mouth, pulled unbidden by his achingly gentle whisper of her name.

    She felt him stiffen.

    “What?”

    OR

    An alternate ending to 1x04. Penelope runs to Eloise for comfort after her conversation with Marina, but finds Colin instead. Featuring a Polin hug.
