Summary
Before he became the duty-bound Viscount seeking a perfect wife, Anthony Bridgerton was a shattered young man barely holding himself together. Before she sharpened her quill as Lady Whistledown, Penelope Featherington was a quiet girl whose greatest champion was the late Edmund Bridgerton.
An encounter steeped in grief and fear binds their stories together in ways only they understand, setting the stage for years of unspoken history and unexpected feelings. Through grief, pain, and misplaced anger, their paths continue to cross until, eventually, they collide.Bookmarked by notesinthemargin

I’m still here. experienced every shade on the emotional spectrum for 70k words. will tug on your heartstrings. heaps of angst with well-earned comfort.
So, so, sooooo incredibly well written. Sigh. 1000000/10 would weep to again, undoubtedly a work worth revisiting and consuming anew.

Summary
Penelope Featherington has tried both subtly and not-so-subtly to tell Colin that her cousin is pregnant with another man’s child and wants to pass the child off as Colin’s with a hasty marriage to hide the deception. However, no matter what she tells him, her friend is unwilling to see her actions as anything else but jealousy and a want of Colin for herself.
In a last-ditch effort to save Colin from a horrible marriage and a life of painful obligation should the deception come to light, she slips out of her family’s Mayfair home the night before Colin and Marina have agreed to run away to Gretna Green to elope… set on publishing a last-minute edition of Lady Whistledown’s column bringing light to Marina’s duplicitous acts. But, as she stands there in the dark of the Mayfair street, she decides to choose another option instead; an option that in one night brings change the likes of which she never imagined and the sort of love that will last a lifetime.

Following the season of 1813 precisely four letters are exchanged between Anthony Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington. Following the season of 1814 a further twenty-three letters are exchanged.

Summary
When Anthony Bridgerton declared himself an active participant in this season’s marriage mart, he had not anticipated that he would find the crop of willing prospects thrusting themselves before him to be quite so unappealing, nor that he would instead end up spending the summer bestowing proposal after proposal upon Penelope Featherington.
Or, the five times Anthony asks Penelope to marry him, with increasing degrees of sincerity, and the one time she knows he really means it.

Hear Our Hearts Speak by Molly_Jae

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?

Bookmarker's Notes
“You have made it impossible for me to live without having you in my life.” Anthony's voice had gone hoarse with emotion. “My eyes gravitate towards you in every gathering,” he admitted, shoulders dropping as he regarded her. “I look for you whenever I hear the soft notes of our song and long to dance with you once again. I dream of dancing in empty gardens and halls with you. I ache for the day I am able to hold you in my arms. I have spent the past weeks trying to support your independence and the idea that you might one day become Countess of Dunmore, but I—I—” Anthony took her hands in his, relieved when she did not dodge nor pull away. “I love you, Penelope Featherington. And I know better than to keep it to myself when I feel this strongly, because you deserve to know when someone loves you — assuredly, fervently.”

Summary
After two failed seasons in the marriage mart, public humiliation from the man she loved, and a painful fallout with her closest friend, Penelope Featherington had endured more than enough.
Determined to take control of her life, Penelope—armed with her wit and intelligence—crafted a meticulous plan. A plan to leave heartbreak, disappointment, and the pressures of Mayfair behind.
Her goal? To live freely as a spinster in the country.
Through careful steps and well-placed misdirection, Penelope succeeded. Away from the watchful eyes of the ton and the indifference of her family, she began to flourish in her new life.
But just as she had settled into a charming routine, a familiar face from her past unexpectedly arrives.
One late afternoon, four months after Penelope's escape, Anthony Bridgerton—the stoic and duty-bound viscount—shows up at the house across the street. In a Bridgerton carriage. With all his belongings.
WARNING: This is a Penelope/Anthony story. If this is not for you, please do not read it. Be kind.
This is a WIP, and a few beginning chapters focus on establishing the story. Separate Pen/Ant POVs to start. It's a bit of a slow burn.

Summary
At the start of the 1814 season, Viscount Anthony Bridgerton had decided that he'll finally look for and take in a wife.
Having interviewed most of the ladies of the ton and found none deserving, his interest was piqued whilst at the Danbury Ball when he overhears his mother and sister speak of a lady in high regard; and in their comments found that this woman shares the same qualities he had been looking for in a prospect.
What will happen if he finds out that the same lady in question was no other than his sister's best friend and their long time neighbor, Penelope Featherington?

Summary
Penelope Featherington had never before perceived Lord Bridgerton in quite the manner in which he now presented himself: as an eligible bachelor extending an invitation for a dance. It was with considerable effort that she came to comprehend the full implication of his proposition. The notion that he might genuinely wish to dance with her seemed inconceivable, and she could not help but feel that her visage must betray the bewilderment she was experiencing.

Summary
The wedding to Miss Edwina Sharma has just been called off and, most importantly, Kate has left. Viscount Anthony Bridgerton has nothing to do to drive away his heartache but think and drink.
Miss Penelope Featherington hopes the man of her dreams is finally willing to get to know her better, but at the same time she may be losing her best friend to some foolish games. Meanwhile, she also has a business to run.
Their paths seem to keep crossing, sometimes completely accidentally, sometimes wholly and entirely planned. They slowly discover that they have much more in common than they both initially believed and that perhaps, there might not be anyone in the ton who could understand the other better.
A deep friendship ensues that comes to mean the world to Penelope, especially when she loses everything else.
Slow burn. Canon divergence after around s2e6.

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.
