    Summary

    What if she went after Lord Debling? It would be bold, to be sure, and would perhaps signal more desperation than she would like, but at this point what did she have to lose? She imagined the worst case is that she would stumble upon Lord Debling and Penelope together, embracing as two newly engaged people were wont to do. Perhaps they would laugh at her, pity her, for scrambling after him like a dog begging for scraps. But even desperation can peak and tumble into something worth risking.

    Or, after Lord Debling learns of Penelope's feelings for Colin, Cressida knows she has one chance left

    Summary

    I always wondered what Colin would do if the Featheringtons actually took off for America — if Penelope disappeared across an ocean, not just across a ballroom. Vanished is my answer to that: a story of loss, longing, grit, and the kind of love that refuses to let go. What happens when a girl with nothing left finds herself on foreign soil… and when the man who once broke her heart will cross the world to put it back together?

    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.

    Summary

    The day after Colin tells his brothers that he is not going to marry Penelope, she wakes up at Aubrey Hall with four young children and a husband who, as far as she remembers, just denied that he would ever want her.

    Penelope has to learn to navigate a world in which she has suddenly become a wife and mother, and Colin a world in which his wife has no memory of being married to him.
