    Summary

    When Maxwell spirals into a midlife crisis and splurges on a new Porsche, Fran’s offhand remark about an ex-boyfriend rattles him to the core. Determined to prove he’s not only still in his prime but also far superior to any man from her past, Maxwell shows Fran he’s better than her ex in every way.

    Set in the direct aftermath of S3E23, “That’s Mid-life.”

    Summary

    "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
    "What are you thinking?"
    "I'm thinking about... Taking a shower and going to bed."
    "What a coincidence. I'm going to bed thinking about you taking a shower."

    Alternate ending to episode 1 of season 3 Pen Pal, where Max comes to his senses.
    This one shot will be part of a compilation of steamy rewrites of scenes that I think should've ended differently. All stand-alone fics that can be read separately.

    Fran is sparkle, and Maxwell is tradition. Forced to co-produce their dream Broadway show, they can’t stop fighting or tearing each other’s clothes off. Fran is used to being underestimated, but she refuses to be anyone’s guilty pleasure, least of all his.

    "His touch is a promise, the stroke of his tongue a prelude, and all she can think is – finally."

    The one where they keep getting interrupted.

    Summary

    '"Ooh, Mister Sheffield...isn’t that interesting....” she can feel the tension in him, the way his breathing has picked up, “something I said seems to have gotten under your skin...” she walks her fingers slowly up his tie and lightly tweaks the tip of his nose, “talk about a turn-on.”'

    This series ramps up the heat between Fran and Max in season 3 and it all begins with her joke about spanking her at the end of 3.08 'The Party's Over'. This is kind of one of those "6 times there wasn't any actual spanking and 1 time there was" sort of things.
