Summary
“When your best friend secures you a job as her older brother’s personal assistant, you sign the contract without reading the fine print. Big mistake.”
Penelope Featherington’s life is stuck on a system crash. Her philology degree is useless, her childhood crush uses her as a free ghostwriter, and her boyfriend is more interested in eco-protests and tofu than in treating her like an actual girlfriend. She desperately needed a steady income and a hard reset.
Enter Eloise with a life-saving employment contract at Bridgerton Corp. Penelope was just hoping for a basic office routine and a paycheck, but she clearly missed the hidden clauses. Along with the assistant title, she accidentally scores a move into a luxury penthouse, a true gentleman who cooks her hot breakfasts instead of pushing sour kombucha, and a billionaire boss—Benedict Bridgerton—who completely short-circuits her brain.
It seems her new employment agreement comes with some highly unexpected perks. Now, she just has to figure out if she’s brave enough to make this contract permanent.

Summary
After failing spectacularly to allow his title and holdings to fall into abeyance, Simon Basset, the Duke of Hastings, is frog-marched by his godmother back to London. Simon's only solace in returning to English soil is his vow that the title his late father prized will die with him. His increasingly frequent run-ins with a certain redhead, however, begin to challenge everything Simon thought he knew about the future he wanted.
***
Or: An AU in which Simon arrives in London much later than in canon, Daphne marries the Prince in her first season, and Penelope breaks off her engagement to Colin after the "entrapment" comment.
This is my extremely late addition to Everybody Loves Penelope 2026. This is a Penelope/Simon fic. Later chapters will be explicit. Don't ship it? Go ahead and skip it :)

It should be simple.
That is until he meets Penelope and starts wondering why she feels like someone he's been missing his whole life.

Duty sent him back in time. Desire might keep him there.
This is a Penelope/Lord Fife (Penife) HEA. A slow burn with angst, if that's not for you, please do not read it.
