    Summary

    When Penelope Featherington finds herself still unmarried at the ripe old age of five and twenty, she is forced to become a governess for a wealthy little girl. Unfortunately, working as a governess affords a woman much fewer freedoms than Penelope is used to, meaning she has no control over the situation when her job brings her uncomfortably close to her ex-fiancé Colin.

    Or, a Jane Eyre Au.

    Summary

    When Colin Bridgerton returns to London for a social media sabbatical, Penelope suggests that he crash with her for the duration, however long it might be. Sure, she's been in love with him forever, and sure she has a full-time job, and sure she's a secret romance writer and nobody knows it, but she's really good at hiding things, so it should be fine, right? But when she also suggests that he work with her publisher, all of the secrets she's been so carefully tending start creeping into the light.

    Summary

    "She misses her son with everything in her, but she hopes that he still thinks the woman he chose over his family worth the loss of them. Marriage cannot be undone and she would rather continue suffering his absence and his silence than know him to be suffering unalterable unhappiness with an unworthy wife."

    Or, a universe where the other Bridgertons don't react so well when they learn the truth about Lady Whistledown and everything that means for Colin, Penelope, and the entire family. Post-S2 AU.
