plot bunnies

This is a combination of two of my previous plot-bunies. One of them was only published on discord.

Edmund always said that Penelope would one day become a Bridgerton. Anthony usually rolled his eyes at these words. Penelope had a special place in the man's heart. One day Eloise came to him crying because she found out that her best friend never got a present for her birthday. Unfortunately, he couldn't tell Portia how she should raise her daughter. So he did what he does on each of his children's birthdays. He gave Penelope a present carved by his own hands.

A few months later, when Penelope was staying at Bridgerton House, she sneaked into Hyacinth's bedroom (on her birthday). She couldn't stand that any of Edmund Bridgerton's children would never get a present carved by his hands. She sat down by the youngest Bridgerton's crib and after sharing her story, she put the toy in the girl's crib. That day Anthony Bridgerton decided to check his youngest sister and overheard Penelope's private confession. He suddenly remembered how his father always said that Penelope would one day become a Bridgerton. And for the first, but not the last time, he thought that he wouldn't mind it.

It is not surprising that he was absolutely furious when his brother announced his unexpected engagement to Marina Tomphson. At first, somewhat resigned, he accepted that if not Colin, then he would have to make Penelope an official Bridgerton. And then he found out about LW and discovered that marrying Penelope seemed like a tempting vision. However, he must first take his younger brother's place in her heart.

PENTHONY plot-bunnies

Edmund had the opportunity to meet Penelope before he died. He always said that she would be a Bridgerton one day. Anthony usually took it as a joke, but then Edmund died. And the joke became one of his father's last wishes. Of course Anthony assumed that Penelope would marry Colin. It seemed like a natural conclusion. And then Colin proposed to Marina. Anthony was incredibly angry about it.Colin marrying Marina means that he'll most likely have to marry Penelope. And then Anthony discovers Penelope's secret identity and he's not so angry anymore.

Anthony was very young and inexperienced when he became Viscount. Many powerful men tried to take advantage of his inexperience. Over the years he made many mistakes. I suspect he had to fight for respect and even began to inspire fear among his commas. That is why Anthony has so many complexes about his own father. In his eyes Edmund didn't have to abandon his conscience to be a good Viscount and a great father. The incident with Berbook only highlighted Anthony's flaws. And then Anthony finds out who LW is. No one could ever take advantage of him if he had such a wife by his side. With her support Anthony would be a much better Viscount and protector of his family.

Anthony is increasingly bothered by the idea of ​​a wedding between Penelope and Colin. It's not that Colin isn't good enough for Penelope. In his mind, Penelope is too good for Colin. She could never live up to her potential as a wife to a man without a title. Penelope was born to be a Lady.

Anthony reveals to Penelope that he knows about her secret. Thanks to this, he manages to gain her trust. He eavesdrops onconversation in which Pen tries to warn Colin about Marina. Anthony quickly figures out what Penelope is talking about and confronts her about it. He convinces her not to publish the news in the column. Penelope reveals Marina's secret to Colin. Anthony's reasons are very selfish. Penelope loves his brother. Colin has to break her heart for her to be free from these feelings. Colin must consciously choose Marina.

This doesn't mean that Anthony is persuading Colin to marry Marina. He is honest with his brother and tells him that if he wants to marry Marina, he’ll have to face the consequences.. First of all, Anthony'll have to disinherit him. This won't be public knowledge. Anthony wants to ensure that Marina's bastard won't inherit the title if he and Benedict don't have male heirs. However, Anthony promises to change his will if Marina gives birth to a girl. Colin'll only be able to return home when it is safe for their family: Marina's baby'll be old enough or Anthony'll have a male heir.

Despite all the consequences, Colin still decides to marry Marina. Penelope cries her broken heart on the shoulder of the only one person who knows all her secrets. Meanwhile, Anthony can already hear the wedding bells.

Penthony

Penelope finds out about Berbook's bastard with maid much earlier and she goes to Anthony with this information. The mother of the child is the sister of one of the maids working at Featherington House. Penelope also reminds him of what Edmund Bridgerton once said in front of her when he lectured Colin for being rude to the staff. "If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals." Anthony checks Penelope's information and it turns out Berbook has more than one bastard with former maids from his house. Anthony never signs a marriage contract between Daphne and Berbook. Berbook doesn't take this well and continues to try to ruin Daphne. LW publishes information about his bastards in her column. Anthony is incredibly grateful to Penelope and begins to see her as a woman who deserves respect, rather than just a little friend to his younger siblings.

When Colin reacts with outrage at the idea of ​​courting Penelope at the end of the season, Anthony asks his brothers what's so ridiculous about the idea. Benedict jokes that if Violet wants Penelope to be her daughter, maybe she should focus her attention on another son. Anthony quietly wonders if Benedict isn't right.

As in Canon, Penelope overhears this conversation between the brothers.

At first Daphne mess with her nephew, then the viscount plays with the hearts of two women at the same time, and finally the third son ruins the reputation of a delicate young lady.

The viscount, as the head of the family, should take responsibility for his brother's ill-considered actions. And he himself deserves punishment.

Penthony - fic rec

Season 1.

The overprotective Anthony tries to keep an eye on Simon and Daphne even on the dance floor. He asks Penelope to dance because she's the safe option. Penelope has endured a lot of humiliation before but here she sets boundaries. She's always known that Violet is trying to get her sons to dance with her. Colin is her friend and he clearly enjoys dancing as much as she does. Even Benedict seems to enjoy their conversations about art on the dance floor. However, Lord Bridgerton doesn't even spare her a glance. Penelope's furious humiliated and she doesn't hesitate to tell the Viscount so.

The story could also go in the opposite direction. Anthony talks to Penelope durning the dance even though he keeps an eye on Simon and Daphne the whole time.

Violet tries to tell Anthony off for using Penelope in such a cruel way. Penelope defends him and says that she'd rather be used like that than dance with someone out of pity. At least Lord Bridgerton signed her dance card.

Benelope - Valentine day

This is Benelope's Valentine's Day story. I blackened this idea from another fandom. The story was originally about two gay guys.

Benedict is a perpetually single guy who has a weird tradition for spending Valentine's Day. He goes alone to a random coffee shop with a single rose and he pretends to wait for his date. The date never shows up. Ben uses his charm and impeccable acting to scam a free meal. He loves it. A Bridgerton scamming a free meal! It's just priceless!

This time at the same coffee shop, Penelope was set up on a blind date by a friend. Unfortunately, the guy is an asshole and leaves when he sees her. She isn't his "type". Penelope i Benedict spend a very successful Valentine's Day together.

In the end, they don't have to pay the bill. They get a free order because they are two single who were stood up by their dates ^^

I wouldn't be surprised if this became their new tradition where they both pretended to be stood up at the same place.

Penthony - Fanfiction idea

I would really like to read a Penthony where Anthony is determined to seduce Penelope. He wants Penelope to willingly become his wife. It could be a slightly dark Anthony who would support Colin marrying Marina. He wants Colin to stop standing in his way of winning over his Viscountess. Colin could be enjoying his marital bliss somewhere in Greece while he tries to insinuate himself into Penelope's heart. Unfortunately I don't know what Penelope would have to do to get that kind of attention from him. Maybe she could kill the bee that almost stung Hyacinth.

Penthony

Anthony has a child with Siena. This was the real reason she left him. She knew Anthony would marry her but their relationship would never be accepted by society. He finds out about it during Season 2 after her death. He is determined to raise the child as his own despite society's disapproval. The example of Berbook showed us that even society expects gentlemen to take responsibility for their illegitimate children. However, raising bastards alongside one's legitimate children is very frowned upon.

He is forced to add another and most important trait to his "list". Despite his situation, finding a wife still shouldn't be difficult. He's still rich, titled, and handsome. Most women would assume that Anthony would hand over his child to Violet when he has legitimate children. Anthony could easily provide for his child's happiness without his wife's involvement. However, his fear of an inevitable and untimely death changes everything. He must marry a woman who would take care of his illegitimate child after his death. It quickly turns out that finding such a woman is even harder than one with half a brain.

To the surprise of all society, Lady Whistledown seems to respect his decisions very much. She writes that she doesn't know if Anthony is good husband material, but there's no doubt that there's no better father material in the entire Kingdom.

Penthony - prompts idea

I was wondering how the scene with the bee between Anthony and Penelope could go. I assume that Penelope is aware of the circumstances of Edmund Bridgerton's death. The bee flies and Anthony turns to stone. Penelope is also afraid, but definitely not for herself. She read a book in which a certain doctor presented a theory about the inheritance of allergies. Penelope kills the bee with her bare hands. Anthony is completely shocked and terrified. Penelope knows that she's safe because as a little girl she ran away from her nanny and went to pick pears barefoot. The bees willingly taught her not to go outside barefoot. Little Penelope couldn't stand on her feet for a few days, but that was all.

(PS: The story about pears is taken from life. It tells about my sister.)

Fanfiction idea - Benelope

I can't write so I share my idea in the hope that someone will be inspired by it.

I found a fanfiction with a series of one-shots where Benedict is deaf. I immediately thought of a fanfic where Penelope is the first person outside the family to learn sign language for him. She is just a little girl at the time, but her actions affected him very much. Especially since Benedict experienced a lot of unpleasantness in Eton because of his disability. Yes. The Bridgertons have servants who speak sign language, but they are paid more to meet his unique needs. Penelope is different. She is just friend his sister, but they don't interact much. The fact that Penelope learned sign language just to have a polite conversation with him about the weather a few times a year almost turned his world upside down. Of course the entire Bridgerton family immediately adopts Penelope. I assume that Simon learned sign language because of his own speech impediment. As I recall, Simon stuttered as a child. Lady Dambury may have taught him sign language. For obvious reasons Benedict has a big soft spot for Penelope which eventually turns into love. It's just a shame that Penelope looks at another Bridgerton…

The story I'm talking about is Nine Times the Bridgertons Realize (not for the first time) that Their Family is not like Other Families in the Ton by loozy.
