    Summary

    "It makes perfect sense!" Penelope's eyes are bright with wine and conviction. "Think about it. We know each other. We trust each other. We both agree that virginity is some arbitrary social construct, so why are we letting it bother us? Let's just—" She makes a decisive cutting motion with her hand. "—get it over with."

    "Pen—"

    "Colin," she sighs dramatically. "We could die tomorrow. As virgins."

    "We are not going to die tomorrow."

    "We could. And it will kill us."

    "Well, we’d already be dead, so—"

    “We could die. Tomorrow. As virgins. I don’t know if there is a fate worse than that, Colin!”

    The one where a question, posed under the weight of alcohol, leads to more than either bargained for.

    Summary

    "I have needs," he blurts out, and then his face does something awful, crumbling almost, before he catches and rights it out of habit. "Fuck. That came out wrong. I don't mean—I'm not—" His hands are shaking. "I need help, Pen. And I think you might be the only person I trust enough to ask."

    Colin asks. Penelope gives. Neither of them is prepared for what happens when the structure starts to fail.

    Summary

    'My husband used to write me long love letters as well.'

    Colin flinched, the pen slipping from his hand at the sound of her voice. The housekeeper stood over him, holding onto a silver tray.

    ‘I beg your pardon?’ he said.

    ***

    OR:

    Although Colin sends letters like clockwork, he receives no reply from his friend, Penelope Featherington.

    Is this what it feels like to lose one's mind?

    Summary

    He may have been a seasoned traveller, but this was the biggest disaster he’d seen at an airport in all his years traversing the globe. He’d been there since nine o’clock that morning, and hour after hour had gone by, with announcement after announcement stating a delay, then another, then another.

    “If they’re going to cancel it, just fucking cancel it,” he mumbled, turning around abruptly and knocking his large pack against something solid, hearing a loud grunt and promptly turning around to see a body topple to the floor, much to his dismay.

    “Oh my gods, I’m so sorry, are you okay?!” He reached his hand down to help the poor woman he’d apparently assaulted. She hesitated before taking his hand, letting him help her back up to standing, brushing herself off, then finally looking him in the eyes.

    His breath hitched as he took her in for the first time. She was probably the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen.

    A strangers to lovers, inspired by real-life never-ending flight delays. A sort-of ode to airports in general, and what a both magical and maddening place they can be. ✈️
