Summary
Is it possible to fall in love with someone over simple letters?
In the three years of his excursion, Penelope and her husband exchange letters about their respective lives.. . .
And, of course, as we depart London this season, we might finally get a glimpse of Lord and Lady Debling. It was a surprise that this most surprising pair chose to spend their honeymoon in London and not on the Earl's vast estate. The newlyweds have not left their house a single day since their wedding, nor have they entertained a single visitor, not even Lady Featherington or her daughters, who undoubtedly miss their daughter and sister.
Rumour has it that Lord Debling has delayed his much-anticipated three-year-long excursion by half a month to spend more time with his wife before he departs. Such dedication to marital bliss is indeed commendable, especially for a man so passionately devoted to his botanical pursuits.
One must wonder if, after such a prolonged time together, there will be an announcement of a new Debling heir in the coming months?Series

It had been meant to be a lie. A simple way out.
Instead, he had wrought havoc, humiliation and shattered reputations.Now Penelope stands at the center of London’s latest gossip, Simon bears the fury of polite society, and Daphne watches her season collapse around her.
But Penelope Featherington is no one’s pawn.
The ton demands entertainment. The Queen demands a wedding.

Finding Happiness by GoodGirlWinnieFoster
Fandoms: Bridgerton (TV), Bridgerton Series - Julia Quinn
31 Mar 2026

Summary
Simon Basset swore to his dying father that he would never marry and never sire an heir, but when fate places Penelope Featherington in his arms, he finds that he cannot say NO. This long fic (230K draft and counting) is the story of how two people with their own hurts, ghosts, and traumas make the most of their circumstances and find happiness.
The Bridgerton family is featured heavily with lots of domestic fluff and support for the new couple. Simon and Anthony are as close as brothers and work through their father issues together, while Penelope has a sisterly relationship with all of the Bridgerton siblings. Lady Danbury and Lady Violet guide and mentor their adopted children.
This is a RARE PAIR story with FIVE characters marrying differently from their canon spouses. Canon divergent from episode one. It's a fun ride if you're down for the adventure.

Summary
Malfoy’s hand is unforgiving against her own, squeezing hard enough that it aches. Hermione digs her nails in, knowing the sensitive expanse of his pale skin will be marked for hours.
A fair trade, considering the heavy diamond ring on her finger that feels like a shackle. Her hand and arm still tingle from the binding magic, and she can’t risk looking down at it. She knows if she does, she’ll remember the gold strand that wrapped around her skin, tying them together for the rest of their miserable lives.

Summary
That one-night stand with Draco Malfoy was a mistake. Hermione doesn't make mistakes, or at least she isn't supposed to. She's working hard at her Ministry career, however frustrating and pointless her job may be, and she's also got to live up to everyone's expectations as Hogwarts's most famous Muggle-born and a top-tier War Hero. So, why is she still sleeping with Draco Malfoy, ex-Death Eater and infamous pureblood? And why isn't she certain that she wants to stop?

Summary
“So I’ll be sending you to the north. To the Crokebanes. Since you’re so insistent on being one of them, might as well be with them.”

In other words – never.

Summary
Penelope and Colin haven't been friends in six years. Not after his cruel words. Not after her personal attack in the aftermath. Hate seems to come easy for the two of them, the simplest alternative to a once-special friendship.
There's nothing Colin loves more than goading Pen into a fight. And if she's going to be a brat about it? Well, then he's going to have to teach her a lesson.
Over, and over, and over again.
AKA the one where lemon desserts keep leading to depravity in the various Bridgerton homes.

Summary
Every Monday (and on special occasions) Penelope took her husband to bed.
It was an agreement, after a year of marriage, that they would finally explore each other for the sake of having a child. It did not mean anything, not at all.

Summary
“Perhaps you should take a seat,” said Violet.
Colin wouldn't remember the details of what his mother told him next. He would remember her hand warm on his knee, her eyes wide with concern, her voice gentle as velvet. All of it in stark contrast to the devastating news she shared.
Penelope was ruined.

Summary
When fortune hunters seeking the title of Baron Featherington target Penelope, despite her ardent refusals, Anthony Bridgerton finds himself stepping in as a protector. But Penelope isn’t as defenseless as she seems, and Anthony can’t help but look at the young Miss Featherington in a new light. He’d sworn never to fall in love, especially after the disaster with the Miss Sharmas, but surely that doesn’t rule out a marriage of convenience that might grant them both the freedom they desire.

Hear Our Hearts Speak by Molly_Jae

Tags
Summary
They had danced, once, away from the gazes of Matchmaking Mamas, and it had left them with an odd sort of friendship that neither ever really spoke to anyone else about. They shared more dances throughout the seasons, more often than not away from wagging tongues and watchful eyes, always learning more about each other and even helping the other through romantic woes and troubled times.
Everyone watched as they courted and were courted by good people, only to end up exactly where neither thought they would ever be: with each other. Penelope thought him indifferent to romance after his failed courtship. Anthony thought her still in love with his brother. How long before it all unravels?

Summary
Sometimes she wonders what people would say if they knew that Penelope Featherington was Colin Bridgerton's booty call. Felicity would probably spin it into some grand adventure, casting Penelope as the lonely figure stood on some moonlight shore as she waited for her lover to return. Eloise would undoubtedly be violently sick and then call her an idiot... and Penelope, well Penelope could hardly believe it herself.
It has to stop though.
It has to.

Summary
On their sixteenth birthday, wizardkind receive their soulmarks. Tattoos on their skin that will help guide them to their one true soulmate.
Hermione wakes on her sixteenth birthday and instead of the three to six soulmarks she had been taught to expect, she had only one. Rather than several possible soulmates she could find and get to know, the spell had given her a single mark for her one true rival instead.
She ends up spending her seventh year working to save Harry, so she can try to forget about her impossible soulmark.
