Summary
Elizabeth Bennet expects her visit to Pemberley to last only an afternoon.
An unexpected meeting with Mr Darcy is awkward enough. But when one of Darcy’s young spaniels escapes and startles the Gardiners’ horses, their carriage overturns before they have even left the estate.
With Mr Gardiner too badly injured to travel, Elizabeth and her relations must remain at Pemberley until he recovers.
A few hours in Mr Darcy’s company had already begun to change Elizabeth’s opinion of him. Several days beneath the same roof may change rather more.

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 :)

Summary
My dear Miss Featherington,
I hope you will forgive the liberty of this letter. I wished to tell you, how much I owe you. Do you recall that afternoon in the gardens, some months past? You were waiting for my sister, the late sun caught in your hair. I remember thinking you looked otherworldly.
I sketched you then. I did not intend to; my hand acted before I considered the impropriety. I continued to do so on other days, from other angles, always unseen—until you noticed. I expected embarrassment, perhaps reproach. Instead, you regarded the drawing as something of value. You said it was beautiful, and encouraged me to pursue what moved me.
No one had spoken to me in such a manner before. My family indulges my drawing as a harmless pastime. You were the first to suggest it might be more. That it might be mine. It was shortly after that I resolved to apply to the Royal Academy of Arts, having concluded my studies at Eton. I do not presume greatness, but I am choosing my own path.
For that resolve, I thank you.
Yours most sincerely,
Benedict Bridgerton.Bookmarked by danchar
