Penelope Featherington's father had left his family in financial and social ruin, and now it was up to Penelope to save her mother and sisters. Penelope and her family leave the 'ton with nothing, but return months later in reasonable fashion. The Bridgerton family had always had a soft spot for Penelope Featherington, and with news of her and her family's return they insist that the Featheringtons stay with the Bridgertons during this years season. Although, Penelope has changed. She no longer worries about typical protocols in the 'ton like being escorted by a maid. Penelope disappears at odd hours, and has money that no one knows about. She has upwards of 4 glasses of champagne or wine at dinner. She no longer views herself as a respectable lady. And the Bridgertons will not have it, as they do their best to protect her reputation from ruin.

Splitting The Difference
Splitting The Difference
In 2021, Earth was ravaged by an unknown genetic anomaly that targeted humanity. While it wasn't terminal, it did have one devastating consequence; it left humanity as a whole, sterile. With millions of people dying every year and their numbers dwindling, humanity became desperate for a cure of any kind. After years of research and experimental, genetic alterations, humanity regained the ability to reproduce, though at the cost of their previous definitions of gender. So was created, the Omegaverse. Now, almost a hundred and sixty years past that point, the world is still trying to parse out their new designations and roles. So much of what was done in desperation is still being discovered and controlled, quantified and labelled. With almost two-thirds of Earth's population gone since then, and with an entirely new form of gender type, how will the Alphas, Betas and Omegas carve their places in society? And what will this mean for two men in particular who are still struggling with their pre-determined fates, Kaidan and Shepard? Now with art! By... ME!
