    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

    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.

    or

    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.

    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.

    Summary

    The Bennet sisters are half-blood werewolves-accepted in their small pack only because of their father's rank. In a world ruled by ancient bloodlines and a monarchy that prizes purity, they are the lowest of the low.

    Elizabeth Bennett has learned to survive with sharp wit and sharper teeth. She has no patience for pureblood alphas who look at her like she's beneath them. When Will Darcy, Alpha of the legendary Blackwood Pack, insults her at a gathering, she intends never to think of him again.

    But fate has other plans

    Summary

    It was never meant to be answered.

    When Penelope Featherington sends a single, impulsive letter to the most unattainable man in London, she does so believing herself safe behind ink and anonymity.

    After all, Simon Basset is not a man who entertains strangers nor one who invites attachment.

    But he answers.

    And with each letter that follows, the distance between them narrows in ways neither can control, nor fully understand.

    Hidden behind careful words and guarded truths, a connection forms, one that may prove far more dangerous than any scandal.

    Because it is one thing to be unseen.

    It is quite another… to be known.

    Summary

    After the departure of Cousin Jack, the Featherington family is left with virtually no money, and even less reputation. Penelope is faced with the prospect of spending the rest of her days stuck in Reading with her mother and some relatives she's never met before in her life. Then she gets an offer from Eloise: Come and stay with the Bridgerton family and become a companion of sorts to Violet. Pen eagerly accepts.

    When tongues start to wag about Penelope and Anthony Bridgerton having more than a business relationship--spurred on by a Lady Whistledown column--Anthony can think of only one solution: Marriage.

    And so Penelope finds herself married to a man she's loved in secret, but who absolutely does not love her in return. He married her out of obligation and duty, nothing else--or so she thinks. Time will tell if this uneven match will end up on rather more even footing as they become more acquainted.

    Summary

    What if Elizabeth Bennet had met not a romantic hero, but a less idealised representative of his privileged class and era?

    Fitzwilliam Darcy here does not follow his canonical redemption arc by choosing to learn better. He has wealth and power, and uses both without scruples.

    The social context of early nineteenth-century England was often harsh for the most vulnerable, including women. Their options were cruelly limited by law, custom, and economic dependency, especially when opposed to ruthless men of consequence.

    Not every story ends where you expect. Sometimes the villain stays a villain.

    Content includes themes of explicit, coerced intimacy, emotional manipulation, and morally ambiguous behaviour. Please read with care.

    Intended for adult readers (18+).

    This novel is complete. A new chapter will be posted weekly, usually on Mondays or Fridays.

    Summary

    He needs a wife, and she needs a husband. They were never meant to be together, but they find solace in each other after unforeseen circumstances leave them heartbroken. And that is how their hearts became entwined.

    "Love has been often likened to a fire, due to its unpredictable nature. Just like a fire can provide warmth or cause destruction, love can either bring comfort and happiness or lead to pain and heartache. The outcome of love, whether positive or negative, remains uncertain until it unfolds."

    Summary

    long before Hyacinth, there was another “H.”

     

    Born after Daphne Bridgerton, Eloise Bridgerton, and Francesca Bridgerton, she was once the youngest of the Bridgerton daughters — a bright, affectionate 4-year-old who adored her mother and followed her father everywhere. With Violet expecting again, the little girl only wanted to feel included in the excitement.

    On a warm afternoon, she tugged her father into the gardens, joined by Anthony Bridgerton, to gather flowers as a surprise for Violet.One sting changed everything.The sudden death of Edmund Bridgerton shattered the family. And in the suffocating grip of grief, Violet Bridgerton needed someone to blame. The child who had insisted on that walk. The daughter who had been laughing moments before tragedy struck.

    She was sent away — quietly, permanently — as though she had never existed.When another daughter was born and given the long-anticipated “H” name, it was not simply continuation of tradition. It was erasure.Years later, the forgotten Bridgerton returns to London at sixteen — no longer a child, no longer silent.

    Summary

    Drenched in the cruelty of a phrase uttered between laughs—"I would never dream of courting her, not in her wildest dreams"—Penelope Featherington watched her future turn to ash before the eyes of the entire ton. Condemned to social exile by the words of Colin Bridgerton and the relentless verdict of Lady Whistledown, she departed under a cloak of shame, becoming nothing more than a bitter memory in the ballrooms of Mayfair.

    However, an enigmatic presence has just awakened the second-largest mansion in the city, situated strategically right beside Bridgerton House. The new mistress is the Dowager Baroness of Willbrooke. She moves like a phantom, relocating in the dead of night, shielded by walls of silence and an elegance that no one has yet been able to define.

    Amidst frantic whispers regarding her identity, the Baroness remains an absolute mystery until a golden invitation arrives to shake the very foundations of high society. The doors of Willbrooke House will swing open for a welcoming ball where masks will fall and the past will demand its due. London is about to discover that some wallflowers do not wither; they simply wait for the right moment to bloom with thorns made of diamonds.
