    Summary

    Penelope Featherington is a successful English teacher, Deputy Headteacher and single mum to an energetic 5 year old, Elliott. They venture to London for a few days of exploring and new experiences during the summer holidays.

    What Penelope doesn’t expect however, is for her carefully managed and curated world to collide with the chaotic Bridgerton family due to chance meeting between Elliott and some of the next generation of Bridgertons.

    Penelope has spent years building a coat of armour to protect herself, and by extension Elliott, from everything negative that the world could throw their way. She is determined to give Elliott a totally different upbringing from her own.

    Surely her armour can stay intact for a few days in London… surely?

    Summary

    “How could you?” Colin asks, voice faint, but slowly growing in volume as he continues. “You…everything you have written, all the lives you have destroyed…How could you?”

    “I never meant to…” Penelope says, trialing off. She is shaking, her shoulders trembling and eyes filling with tears. “You do not understand, Colin—”

    “—of course I do not understand,” He interjects quickly. “What is there to understand, Penelope? You…What you have done…”

     

    or

    (Season 2, Episode 8 AU in which it's Colin, not Eloise, who finds out about Penelope's secret identity.)
