Summary
The ancient Greeks believed that the soul was once whole—complete and infinite—until the gods split it in two, condemning each half to wander the world in search of its missing other. Plato called this yearning the origin of love; Aristotle wrote that love is a single soul dwelling in two bodies. This story follows Penelope and Colin—two souls bound by something neither can name—as they find each other across shifting timelines, unfamiliar cities, and the chaos of history. They are not reincarnated. They do not remember. And yet, across centuries, in every life, they are drawn together with the quiet force of inevitability. Their names change. Their circumstances break them. But love, in its oldest form, persists. This is not a tale of destiny—it is the study of recognition, of something ancient waking each time two souls meet and remember what it means to be whole.
Or
Ten times across timelines where Penelope and Colin find each other.

Summary
In the shadows of Washington’s brightest lights, President Colin Bridgerton rises as the youngest leader in American history—charismatic, brilliant, but dangerously entangled with the one woman he cannot have: his fixer, Penelope Featherington. While the First Lady smiles for the cameras, Colin and Penelope steal moments in the dark, tethered by a love too powerful to name and too ruinous to expose. Every debate, every state dinner, every crisis threatens to unravel them, as ambition and desire collide behind closed doors. With Michael Sterling circling, Marina suspicious, and the press hungrier than ever, the line between politics and scandal grows razor-thin. The question is no longer if the truth will come out—but when, and what it will destroy in its wake.
Or
Penelope is Olivia Pope and Colin is Fitzgerald down-bad Grant.

Summary
Sabrina Carpenter's album Man's Best Friend explores themes of heartbreak, disappointment, and the desire for unwavering loyalty in relationships, with "settling for crumbs" metaphorically representing a woman's willingness to accept minimal affection and attention from a "blasé" man. The concept of "man's best friend" is used ironically to highlight the lengths a woman might go to for love, even if it means accepting a one-sided dynamic or constant disappointment, comparing it to the unwavering devotion of a dog.
Or
Penelope Featherington is head over heels for Colin Bridgerton, and he starts drifting away from her because... life, and she's torn between allowing herself to repeat old patterns or demanding the love she deserves.

Summary
kismet /ˈkɪzmɪt,ˈkɪzmɛt/
destiny; fate.
Before the name Mademoiselle de Plume, there was Penelope Featherington — a girl from Bayonne with a dream stitched in velvet.
She was born to perform, raised to survive, and destined to shine brighter than the taverns that first applauded her name.
Then came Colin Bridgerton, a painter from Lyon whose art was as restless as his heart. The first time he saw her by the stage door, he didn’t just find inspiration — he found his muse.
Through the haze of Parisian nights, beneath the chandeliers of the Moulin Rouge, their worlds collided in color and devotion: the artist and the showgirl, the dreamer and the dream.
Because when the curtain falls and the world forgets your name, love remains the only masterpiece worth keeping.
And love, like sequins, is forever.Or
The one where Penelope is the ultimate showgirl and Colin is so down bad for her, he becomes obsessed with the color red.
