    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?

    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.

    Summary

    While he was in Greece, Penelope and Colin kept up a faithful correspondence. Months after he returns to Mayfair, Penelope writes him a letter confessing that she is Lady Whistledown—and he completely ignores it. After two weeks of silence, their strange, unacknowledged quarrel comes to a head at the Bridgertons’ Hearts & Flowers Ball, setting the stage for an explosive, emotional confrontation that pushes the boundaries of their friendship into uncharted territory.

    OR

    What if at Violet’s Hearts & Flowers Ball, Colin didn’t go see Marina, but spent the whole weekend of the ball with Pen?

    A Season 2 AU, Episode 4 AU.

    Summary

    After the work party meet-up in London that wasn't, and then the night in Sheffield that definitely was, Colin has gone to the big apple and plans to see Pen at the weekend once he gets back.

    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,
    Penny x

    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.
