    Summary

    "What are you all so excited about?" Penelope asks.
    Philippa is nearly bouncing in her seat when she says, "Lord Whistledown!"
    Penelope shakes her head. "I thought you read Lady Whistledown the other day?”
    "No, you dimwit," Prudence says. "LORD Whistledown."
    "Lord…what?" Penelope snatches the pamphlet out of Portia's hand - a gasp of surprise that Penelope barely hears coming from her mother - and begins to read what it right in front of her.

    LORD WHISTLEDOWN
    A gentleman's pamphlet and attempt to woo
    Published alarmingly and biweekly for the ton

    The image in the center top is an outline of a man’s profile, top hat sitting jauntily on his head.
    It must be a joke.

    -OR-

    Colin has a plan to uncover Lady Whistledown’s identity. Penelope becomes intrigued by a mystery writer aiming to court her alter ego. In the process, both learn more than they bargained for about the identities they have shown the ton all along. Can the true versions of Colin and Penelope find their way to love together, or will they only make it so far as everything but?

    Summary

    "She misses her son with everything in her, but she hopes that he still thinks the woman he chose over his family worth the loss of them. Marriage cannot be undone and she would rather continue suffering his absence and his silence than know him to be suffering unalterable unhappiness with an unworthy wife."

    Or, a universe where the other Bridgertons don't react so well when they learn the truth about Lady Whistledown and everything that means for Colin, Penelope, and the entire family. Post-S2 AU.

    Summary

    Penelope has been taught very little about the change that will take place upon her coming of age.

    But that should not matter. The Featheringtons have always been betas, unaffected by the fate-altering pheremones that draw alphas and omegas to each other. Penelope shall be no exception.

    After crossing paths with Colin Bridgerton, she finds that truth harder to bear.

    A thought occurs to her: what harm could come of delaying the change for a while?

    Summary

    After a rather dramatic encounter at the end of the year, Colin Bridgerton rushes home from Greece to face his friend (and his feelings) as he fights to protect her from herself.

    Penelope Featherington, however, will do everything in her power to let her saviour know that she does not, in fact, need saving and would quite like for him to stop his meddling.

    The two come together through the 1814 Season to navigate business, a saviour complex, and the terrifying notion of telling your friend you are in love with them.
