   Summary

   Penelope Featherington, true to her namesake is a weaver.

   The weaver of London's most intricate web of information.
   While she only uses her power to write a gossip column.
   The danger she courts is far greater than what she could have ever imagined.

   Meanwhile, Colin Bridgerton, exiled to his Bachelor Lodgings by his own family, comes to terms with his burgeoning feelings for his friend. If only she would understand how much she actually meant to him.

   Witness this dark retelling of Penelope and Colin's story as Lady Whistledown sings her swan song. Her final days as London's most notorious gossip monger.

   **What if Bridgerton had more of a Les Miserables feel to it.
   **AU- Canon Divergence
   * kind of slowburn
   *ratings changed to mature because of grim subject matters, also probably eventual smut.
   ***this has actual death scenes please be warned
   ***HEA but the warning are not jokes please
   ***Read if you are a fan of complicated plotlines
