Summary
Colin’s life is a mess- a car crash, you might say. Miles from Mayfair, living on a farm near Glastonbury. Widowed, young twins, barely keeping the family together until Anthony and Violet step in.
Penelope’s life is plodding along in a decent fashion- job she loves (reception teacher), cougar wannabe mother she generally avoids and a quiet life despite living in the heart of Mayfair, but that’s ok, right? Who needs anything else?

Summary
Penelope is heartbroken. In the morning she will wed Debling, and be lost to her dreams forever.

Or, a piece of mock gothic silliness, Bridgerton style.

Summary
The plan is this: come home, get a real job, stop running away from the only woman he has ever truly wanted, and make Penelope Featherington see him as something other than her goofy, perpetually wandering best friend.
The plan is simple and elegant, and all sorted—except for that final little bullet point. No big deal.
What could possibly go wrong?

Man of Honor by Mariequitecontrarie

Summary
It's Christmas Eve, and Colin is Penelope's man of honor in her upcoming wedding. She wants his opinion on cakes, but he wants to send the groom on a permanent research trip to Antarctica and marry her himself. Which might be difficult to do if he gets them both thrown in jail for the holiday.
🎄🎄🎄
They’d fallen asleep on the couch together, “A Wonderful Life” on the telly, the reflection from the Christmas lights glistening like stars on her porcelain skin. Typically, he sleeps like the dead, but she woke him during the night and led him into the bedroom like a child. Then they crawled into bed together and went back to sleep. Like any happily married couple would.
Only they’re not married. They’re not engaged. They’re not even together.
They’ve never kissed on the lips or gone on a date.
And they never will.
In six weeks—on Valentine’s Day—Penelope is marrying her boyfriend, Fred Debling.

Now complete.

I just wanted to write some fluffy fluff. It hasn't troubled the desks of my usual Beta readers, and the formatting is iffy!
Please read 'Since yesterday' first, also in this series. It's probably fine without, but definitely much more fun with.
Hope you find it fun though,

Summary
Colin’s fingers twitch. He shifts his weight from foot to foot. He’s been waiting for several minutes and he’s only getting more anxious. If only he could see her. He sighs dramatically.
“Your wife?” asks the customs officer.
Colin nods, eyes still searching for any glimpse of his friend, before realising that that isn’t correct. “I mean… no…” he mutters quietly.
We’re in Fiji, he reminds himself. They’re a very friendly people. She’ll be fine.
He still cannot see Penelope but he has a clear view of the customs officer, wearing plastic gloves and raised eyebrows, as he reaches into Penelope’s suitcase and pulls out the biggest dildo Colin has ever seen.
