It is a truth universally acknowledged that every Bridgerton is at least a little in love with Penelope Featherington

When you hunkering down for a good fic before bed…only for the fic to be so damn good you gotta sit right back up again😩

This year was full of beautiful fanfiction, so many different works, so many fandoms. So many works that made my days better, made me cry and made me laugh.

Thank you all who write for others and themselves. For those who have few kudos and those who have a lot. You made someone's day. Thank you to the writers who write for big fandoms. To authors who write for "dead" fandoms because thanks to you these fandoms are again alive.

Thanks for all the one-shots that can be read quickly and yet full with so much emotions. Thanks for all the long fic's that pull into another world.

Thank you for all the crossovers that put different worlds together.

For all the different AU's, canon changes, Fix-it.

All the different worlds.

Thank you to all the artists, who make fanarts. For their take on a world without words, with lines and colours.

Thank you to everyone who looks after AO3, who makes sure it is working and are quick to react.

Thank you.

I wish a happy new year that brings you a lot of new content and inspiration.

We are starting to gear up for "Everybody Loves Penelope - Rare Pair Week"! It will take place August 2-8, 2026. Last year we had over 90 fics submitted and we are so excited to see what this year brings.

What are you writing?? 💜

*inhale* Fresh blood. So you want a Penthony fic rec?

Guess who's back, darlings! Since season 4 has released, I continue to double down on my precious non-canon Bridgerton OTP because the new content has stirred my blood into returning to my beloveds! I always get pleasantly surprised whenever I get notifications on my (soon to be former) one and only Bridgerton post, but now that there are a lot of newcomers due to the new seasons (I'm assuming, I don't really engage in Bridgerton fandom outside of Penthony ao3 lately), I've decided to repost my previous Penthony fic rec list, with some updates!

And yes, I will be rereading everything in this list! Once a banger, always a banger!

Aside from everything in ynnej2198's penthony catalogue:

Adding to the list!!

so I fell down the Penthony rabbit hole on Ao3 last night and I have no idea what to do with myself now

[tickletorso]

Ok, so I’ve fallen into Penthony fics haaaard. And today I was obsessively reading a fic called Rewrite the Stars (from 2023 maybe?) by author IrishR…….something. I can’t remember the full author name.

But literally as I clicked “next chapter” it just disappeared! So is this how my life is going now? A Fic from like 2023 gets deleted by its author in 2025 when I’m mid-read 😩

Can any Penthony people help shed some light? I’m so new to this ship that I have no idea who has the inside scoop. 🙏
