Fics like sew your heart to my sleeve

Lady Danbury sets her tea cup in its saucer on the table and fixes Penelope with her intense gaze. "I'd like to sponsor you." Penelope chokes on her next swig of tea so badly that Lady Danbury rises, moving next to her and patting her back until her hacking abates. Penelope takes in a few steadying breaths, willing air into her lungs. She is sure she misheard, that the shock of her choking has altered her memory. "Pardon, my lady? You wish to…?" "Sponsor you. For the season." After Archibald Featherington loses the family fortune when Penelope is thirteen, the family is forced to adapt to life as members of the lower class. By nineteen, Penelope has become Madame Delacroix's apprentice, and her fine skills with a needle catch the eye of Lady Agatha Danbury. Debuting in society thrills and terrifies her in equal measure, as she knows nothing of how a proper lady should behave, but she wants nothing more than to escape from her cruel, embittered mother—and she is perfectly content to settle for a straightforward, comfortable marriage in order to do so. Enter Colin Bridgerton.
