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 would shout about this fic from atop roofs if I could. Such an incredible read that it pains me that it doesn’t have more attention. A Penthony must!

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.

Summary
What if Penelope had been on Anthony Bridgerton’s potential wife list and he “interviewed” her? He may believe he can interrogate her like a common suspect of the Bow Street Runners, but Penelope rises to the challenge and lets his esteemed lordship know that his list of qualities for a wife is utterly foolish. Expecting his anger, Penelope is most surprised to receive an offer of courtship instead.

Or, Viscount Bridgerton is much too charming; Penelope Featherington fails to take this into consideration when laying out her plans and does not quite know what to do about it - other than to fall rather hopelessly, no doubt.
A delight to read!

Summary
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.
By the time the season of 1815 rolls around and the two have struck up a rather peculiar friendship born of mutual understanding and shared humour. Out of shared camaraderie, both are determined to support the other as best they can through the pains of the season, neither one of them thinking of marriage this time round.
But with two matchmaking mothers, and a sister hell-bent on making Penelope a Bridgerton, well, best laid plans and all that….

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
“I always thought that when one fell in love, that was it — that no other would compare,” was the beginning of her soft confession. “But then there is something to be said about a love that grows with time. A love whose roots deepen with communication and bloom with affection. A love of a form different than that of childish fancy or the thrill of a new acquaintance.”
Anthony’s grip on her tightened. “Have you found this yourself?”
Yes, her heart sang.
Yes, she had found it and he was standing before her.
*
“You have made it impossible for me to live without having you in my life… My eyes gravitate towards you in every gathering… 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 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.”
I need to consume this fic.
it continues to baffle me how most have lost the ability to cherish the art that is slow burn (the pinnicle of writing!!!) in their pursuit of instant gratification. A lovely AU of our beloved pairing and Bton ensemble that could very well stand alone as a novel. So many notable moments and quotes of Penthony dancing around each other quite literally and figuratively (of which I unfortunately cannot all include in this note and thus-), it will have you returning to read time and again.

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
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.

Wonderful writing! Characterisation and imagery are great. From Penthony to the staff, lots of delicious wit and colour are poured into the cast. In love especially with its depiction of Anthony.

Summary
He’s so happy, that a little voice that still lives in his past can only ever say that it’s wrong.
“Shima-kun.”
She squeezes his hand, and draws his attention down, out of the storming clouds blowing into his head. There’s nothing for her to say, only to look at him with a gentle smile. She must have noticed, she’s gotten better at doing so, the way he so easily gets lost in his own thoughts, both good and bad.
He squeezes back and answers.
“Mitsumi-chan.”
(the slow moving, blossoming of Shima's feelings and how they gently grow)
