    Summary

    The first thing she saw was a message from moments ago. The Face ID opened the screen for her to reveal the text.

    Colin (my love ❤️): Good Morning, Pen! I just heard your alarm go off, so I bet you’re probably feeling a little anxious. Please click on this extra special video I made for you today, then come out to see me for some breakfast, whenever you’re ready.
    Xx, your fiancé

    My WHAT?!?

    With shaking fingers, she clicked on the video icon below the message, turning the sound up so she could hear everything that was said on-screen.

    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. ✈️

    Summary

    [Unknown number]: Never took you for one to question orders.
    [You]: Never took you for one to put personal life before our job.

    Simon waited patiently under the overhanging lip of the hangar. The Kevlar of his glove crinkled as his fingers curled around the hand of his duffle bag. The rain created a gentle buzz against the metal.

    It took a while for the other bubble to appear, as if the other person – most likely Price, judging by the vocabulary used in the texts – was thinking about the right thing to say.

    And the right thing it was, when the words fluttered on Simon’s phone screen.

    [Unknown number]: About time you put yours first, though.

    ────────────

    Or; Simon is deployed for the first time since the beginning of your relationship. Instead of finding purpose in keeping the world clean, he finds it in keeping himself alive, because he's never been this eager to come home.

    Summary

    This one shot was based on a Chase Atlantic and Maggie Lindemann song

    “You don't know how she shines until you see her in a space where she feels free to be herself." The smile that overtook his face gave Draco the courage he didn't think he had. He had no fight left in him.

    He could do this.
    He could do this for them.

    "I'm happy for you. Truly," Draco whispered below his breath. He could feel the tears pooling in his eyes at the thought that he would always have to watch her glow from afar.

    But Gods, as long as she was shining, everything would be fine.
    He was in control.

    Summary

    “So, what is this favor?” Penelope asked.

    “Colin is a moron,” Eloise replied, and Penelope’s heart skipped a beat. “That wanker decided on a whim to go to Paris. His train has just arrived. But he can’t find a hotel. Everywhere is booked.”

    Penelope’s stomach dropped, dread creeping up her spine.

    “The Olympics,” she muttered.

    “Yeah, as I said, moron. So, any chance he could crash at your place for a night or two?”

    -

    Once upon a time, Penelope had left to go study in Paris right after high school, leaving her toxic family behind. And she had never looked back. But that meant she never got the chance to talk to her teenaged crush, one Colin Bridgerton. At best, all they ever were was distant acquaintances. That was okay, though, because she had moved on, she had become at successful author. So, him crashing at her place for one night, or two, wouldn’t disrupt her whole life, right?
