    Summary

    It slowly sinks in that he pictured his best friend while he was jerking off. God. He must be absolutely, unequivocally mental.

    He hears her soft laughter again in his head and his chest aches. It is as though she is pressing on the bruise with her small fingers.

    Yes, very, very much mental indeed, he decides.

    Or the one where Penelope stops speaking to Colin and he, well, he has sex dreams about her.

    Summary

    The night Penelope is asked the most important question of her life, she is wearing a hot pink feather boa. With sparkles, and a sparkly pink penis tiara to match. Naturally. 

    The question is not will you marry me, which should have been the most important question of her life (a fact of which she is perfectly aware, thank you very much). It is not do you, Penelope Featherington, take Alfred Debling to be your lawfully wedded husband, because she has a few days left before their officiant asks her that particular question.

    “I’m sorry,” Penelope says. “What did you say?” 

    She’d heard him, but she’s drunk in a hot pink feather boa and a penis crown and surely Colin Bridgerton cannot be asking her about regrets.

    Summary

    Amongst the chaos of raising four children, Colin and Penelope, now 45 and 42, struggle to find time for each other and balance their busy careers, while also doing their best to give their kids the attention they deserve as they grow up. A little bit of a mid-life crisis and mid-life reflection cause the two to reevaluate their priorities.

    Sequel to He Fell Harder

    Can easily be read as a standalone fic too!

    --

    Colin stopped short when he re-entered the bedroom at the sight of his wife sitting at the edge of the bed, her legs crossed in front of her.

    “God, you’re so fucking hot.”

    When he reached her, he dropped down to his knees and leaned forward to kiss her. She spread her thighs to accommodate him, sliding her hands behind his neck and pulling him closer.

    “What do you want?” he asked, his voice gravelly.

    “Absolutely anything.”

    Summary

    Colin lives in Paris. And when Penelope comes to his city on her book tour, it's the first time they've seen each other in two years.

    Penelope only has an hour or so before she has to take a train home, so they make the most of the time they have, wandering the city, catching up.

    But what starts as two friends reconnecting quickly feels like something more. Something familiar. Something irresistible.

    OR: a story of Polin in Paris, inspired by the Before Sunset movie.
