    On finding yourself in the valley of all you’ve ever feared. On stumbling towards another. On Anthony and Penelope amongst the shrapnel of rejection and at the very edges of the selves crafted by circumstance and necessity. On shedding skin and emerging changed.

    Summary

    It began with a cup of tea meant to spark creativity.

    It ended—well, it hasn't ended yet.

    When Penelope Featherington conceded to go with Edwina to act as a "guide to all things Bridgerton" she could not dream what would happen next.

    Penelope finds herself wandering Aubrey Hall’s library late at night, the last thing she expects is to become a muse, a mystery, and a marriage prospect all at once.

    Summary

    Lord Anthony Bridgerton was rejected by his mistress, left at the altar by Miss Edwina Sharma, and turned down twice more by her sister for good measure.

    Penelope Featherington didn’t have a single suitor until her third season, was passed over by Lord Debling, and only to have her engagement to Colin Bridgerton fall apart soon after.

    They weren’t merely unlucky in love and romance.
    They were spectacularly bad at it.

    Summary

    “Thomas- Mr. Spencer has not… dishonored me at all,” she said, as though the idea was preposterous - no, offensive. The implication of it, of Penelope’s loyalty to this villain, made something dark curl inside Colin’s throat.

    “Your allegiance to a man who has harmed you worries me greatly.”

    “Harm? Colin, he has never harmed me.” Penelope took a great breath, meeting Colin’s eyes as she spoke next. “He is my lover.”

    OR

    The one where Pen takes a lover and Colin handles it about as well as anyone could expect (gets down on his knees and begs her to fuck him instead)

    Summary

    Penelope had never thought herself particularly perceptive when it came to the affections of men.

    A lifetime of being overlooked had made it easy to assume no one would look.

    So when Benedict lingered to her side, when his gaze traced her lips as she spoke of another man, when his fingers brushed against her own and he exhaled like it meant something — she did not question it.

    Not until she saw the sketchbook.

    She had only reached for it absentmindedly, a teasing remark about his secretive artistry at the tip of her tongue. But the moment her fingers flipped through the pages, the words died.

    Because there she was.

    Not once. Not twice. But everywhere.

    She turned to him, lips parted in realization, as his fingers traced the ink-stained edges of her wrist and she understood.

    That he had never pitied her.

    That he had never simply been her friend.

    That somewhere along the way, while she had been busy hiding from the world—Benedict Bridgerton had fallen devastatingly, irrevocably, in love with her.

    And he was hers to ruin.
