Across a Crowded Room by ChaptersofCharm

Penelope Featherington has always been the wallflower in the bustling city of London, easily overlooked in the crowded rooms of high society. But no one knows that Penelope is the voice behind a wildly popular anonymous blog, capturing the hidden stories of London's elite while secretly nursing a long-held crush on her best friend's brother, Colin Bridgerton. Colin Bridgerton, a globe-trotting photographer, is used to seeing the world through his lens, yet somehow he's missed the quiet brilliance of Penelope, who has always been just across the crowded rooms they've shared. Upon his return to London, Colin begins to see Penelope in a new light, drawn to her in ways he never expected. As their paths cross more frequently, Colin realizes that the woman who has been right in front of him all these years might be the one person who truly understands him. However, with Penelope's anonymous blog gaining attention and her hidden feelings for Colin threatening to surface, both must face the truth about what they see when they look across a crowded room. Pen's blog is called Hushed Journals

Will she be able to prevent their relationship from being discovered?

Peaches is a Featherington, and like her brash and horribly dressed sisters, she is to be thrown to the lions of the ton for this season's marriage market. She does not wish to find love or romance or to marry. So she is shocked when she finds she cannot resist no other than the second born Bridgerton. Benedict x OC Completed! 50,000 words Best ratings: #1 in Bridgerton, #1 in BenedictBridgerton Hope you enjoy 💗 Characters and overarching story do not belong to me! OC characters and storylines only. Some bits of the series have been changed to better fit with my story so not 100% accurate to the TV show or the books! The ages are a little inconsistent too and I apologise for that... In line with Quinn's books, Peaches would be about 15 - I imagine her around 22. I don't condone relationships with minors! I didn't really think anyone would read my book, so I didn't focus too much on ages being accurate to the original books! It's my first fic and I've made some mistakes but please stick with me! <3

At the start of the 1814 season, Viscount Anthony Bridgerton had decided that he'll finally look for and take in a wife. Having interviewed most of the ladies of the ton and found none deserving, his interest was piqued whilst at the Danbury Ball when he overhears his mother and sister speak of a lady in high regard; and in their comments found that this woman shares the same qualities he had been looking for in a prospect. What will happen if he finds out that the same lady in question was no other than his sister's best friend and their long time neighbor, Penelope Featherington?

An Eternity with You (Bridgerton oc x oc) by NatashaD2967

If you were to ask anyone in the ton about the Lady with a Fan, even an errand boy could give you an answer. That's the name Anastasia Bridgerton had built for herself to protect her family after their father's passing. As the oldest sister and twin of Anthony Bridgerton, Anastasia lived and breathed to keep her family safe. Marriage was the last thing on her mind when her brother, the Viscount had yet to mature enough to handle the responsibilities of being a head. Anastasia, despite being the Diamond of her Season, devoted her efforts towards the stability of the Bridgertons, leaving no room for romance. However, this may change with the arrival of the Dashing Prince of the North, Nicholas Alexander, who returned to London's high society many years later. With her sister's debut, her brother's ignorance, and her family's stability weighing her down, can the girl find it in her heart to love another? It is said that love concurs all, but can it stand the furious winds of a scandal?

✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ 𝐄𝐍𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐇 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐘𝐎𝐔 *ੈ✩‧₊˚ 𝟎𝟎𝟎. Victoria Fernsby's arrival into London society impressed everyone. Even though she had a sweet smile, people might wonder about her kindness. 𝟎𝟎𝟎. Known as a heartbreaker, the young woman amazed people with her sharp tongue and questionable temperament and when she arrived in the centre of England, she was going to win over someone in particular. 𝟎𝟎𝟎. The Bridgerton Family could be a good target and if Benedict Bridgerton was available and interested, Victoria would be a great choice. 𝟎𝟎𝟎. As Lady Whistledown would say, although she didn't want to, this season could be the perfect one for Victoria to find a good marriage and, besides, messing with Benedict's mind with lots of colour wouldn't be a bad idea.

"You can't scare away every man who shows up at my door!" "I can damn well try." He kept his tone quiet as he stepped closer to her. "You have no idea of the grip you have on me Hanford and I'll be damned if you fall in love with someone who isn't me." Aurora Hanford was just hoping for the best outcome for her debut season. She didn't account for Benjamin Bridgerton to make a mess out of her life with little to no words. He presented himself in her life very prominently and the girl quickly grew fond of his watchful gaze and hushed words. Aurora found herself falling for the brooding man and he realized he was falling just as deeply. Neither expected their love to form as something more or to blossom as it quickly did. Their love was a fairytale in a world where true love unions were extremely rare. They had their naysayers, their supporters, but most importantly they had each other. Even if in the beginning, neither knew it just yet. FEM! OC x MALE! BRIDGERTON OC

Dare - Lily Bridgerton's story by miss_islemeadow

Miss Lily Mary Violet Bridgerton, the youngest one of her siblings, had eagerly waited for her first social season, but as it finally arrived, she was simply thoroughly disappointed that she was not allowed to pursue her dreams as a painter - as well as the poor and misogynistic supply of unmarried men. Only her family's arch nemesis, Lord Percy Lumley, seems to be irritatingly interested in her... When Percy proves out to be not as disagreeable and as much of a villain as Lily first had thought, quite the opposite really, she soon decides that he is the only possible match for her. But Percy is already promised to another woman, his vile father wants nothing to do with the Bridgertons and to make matters even worse, Lily's brother Miles seems to have some secret reason to blatantly hate the future earl. Nevertheless, after an unforgettable midsummer in Dover with Percy, their fates seemed to be as much intertwined as they are being pulled apart. How do you love someone who keeps pushing you away? How do you help someone whose pain you cannot even begin to understand? And most importantly - can love truly conquer all, or is that just something happening in fairy tales?

Dirty Law by BurtonBridge04

Penelope Featherington is graduating from Oxford and after a long six years of ruthless studies (and hardly any decent sex) she finds herself at a loss with substandard men who are lacking in the 'satisfaction' requirements. However, when she gets a call regarding a new job opening that seems perfect for her, things seem to be looking up... But after a night in a swanky new club in London, she finds herself in a rather peculiar situation as the man who completely blew her mind last night is sitting opposite her in the hiring chair. Oops - that old (Sleeping with the boss but didn't know he was your boss) trope. This is a Penthony story - do not read if you do not like this ship. It is a one shot right now; however I may continue in future.
