   Summary

   On a clear night just after midnight, as the candle in her room died so too did Penelope Featherington give up all hope and attempts to take her life. Her attempt failed thanks to the timely discovery of her lady's maid and she fell into a coma. Ousted from her home by her mother while still in a coma, the Bridgerton family brings her to their home to either recover or die as no one else seems to care for the wilted wallflower. (Set S3 Pt1 timeframe)

   TW: Self harm and attempted suicide dominates this fic. Please be aware when reading! Read the tags!
