    Summary

    Hawkins, Indiana is a graveyard that doesn't know it's dead yet.

    Two days since the gates opened. Two days since the earthquakes. Two days of watching their town become something else- something wrong, something hungry, something that bleeds red lightning and tastes like ash.

    The military says they're establishing a perimeter. What they mean is: you're on your own.

    Steve Harrington has always been good at protecting people. It' basically his only skill at this point- that and hitting things with a nail bat. But there are too many people, too many monsters, and not enough time before Hawkins becomes a tomb. With Robin refusing to leave his side, Dustin refusing to follow orders, and an apocalypse that won't wait for anyone to be ready, Steve has to figure out what happens when the world doesn't end all at once.

    It ends in pieces. One person, one choice, one sacrifice at a time.

    Summary

    Set shortly after the end of Season 2 (before the epilogue)

    When Penelope rejects Colin's offer of a dance, he does not understand what he can have done to upset her. As he attempts to make it up to her, it is clear Pen is only interested in reconciling with Eloise.

    When Colin chases the two girls into a lightning storm, he did not expect a strike of lightning to take their troubles into the year 2022.

    Together, they must work with a female scientist called Ava to find their way back home. But while Colin flounders in the future world, he is only too aware how well Penelope and Eloise are thriving.

    Summary

    Colin opens his hands for her. And she, the biggest fool the world has ever seen, takes it.

    They rise and rise and rise until she is holding his cheek. Much like how he cradled her that night.

    He talks of feelings and thoughts and dreams and it’s entirely devastating and amazing all at once. Her heart soars and stays in the clouds with the angels, but there are chains on her leg. There are rings around her neck. There is one on her finger.

    The weight of everything crashes into her like a witless bird. She crumbles and shatters and breaks all in one tragic tale.

    Poor Penelope Featherington, they would solemnly utter. Loved too late.

    (or, the one where the heart and the mind will always be at odds with one another, especially when dowager countess penelope debling finds herself involved with london's notorious gentleman murderer by virtue of lady whistledown, and colin bridgerton, freshly retired from his five-year tour of gallivanting around the continent, inexplicably insists to be a part of something infinitely bigger than they.)

    Summary

    Penelope woke up alone. Alone and in her childhood bedroom. For the third day in a row. Her hand slid down to her lower abdomen. The life that was supposed to be fluttering there did not exist yet and neither did the beautiful children that she had already given birth to.

     

    She had three days to accept that something had happened that had sent her back to just before her first season. She wished she had more time, but with having to wake up every day in the wrong house, the wrong bed, without her husband and children—Penelope had to accept that her current present was her new reality.

     

    No matter how often she cried every morning, hours before Rae came to get her ready for the day.
