    Summary

    Between processing the unhealed grief of losing his wife, trying to keep from drinking himself into a coma, and struggling with his freshly grown feelings for his business partner, accepting a new case is probably not the smartest thing March has ever done.

    Summary

    A few weeks after starting the Nice Guys agency March gets drunk, Healy gets a strange inkling, and Holly watches The Parent Trap.

     

    Not for the first time, Jackson wonders why he agreed to this partnership. But there’s something he can’t quite put his finger on, something about the soft, hapless, helpless way March loves his daughter and knows what a screwup he is, that makes something funny happen inside Jackson’s chest. He hasn’t eaten yet today but it feels almost like his stomach is twisting, like he’s about to do something stupid and completely out of his own control even though Jackson Healy has always prided himself on how well he keeps himself under control.

     

    Not food poisoning, Jackson thinks. March poisoning.

    Summary

    Holland was so heartbreakingly obvious, Jack almost felt bad for him. Sometimes, the urge to take pity and swoop down—grab Holland by the tie, or the colorful lapel—and just plant one on him was almost too strong to bear.

    But he couldn’t be sure whether Holland wanted him because he wanted him, or if it was because Jack was already there, steady and useful and safe. If it was only because of that, then it wasn’t worth the risk of losing the good thing they already had going, no matter how much Jack wanted him, too.

    Summary

    “Colin!” Penelope laughed as he pulled her farther and farther into the garden. “Someone will see! Whatever will the mamas think?”

    “Forget about the mamas. We haven’t had a moment alone in over a week and it’s driving me mad.”

    In other words: Colin misses his fiancee. Things get a lil steamy in the Danbury gardens.

    Summary

    “Colin?!” Anthony asked, bewildered, looking at a man who was unmistakably his brother, but an utterly transformed version. For starters, this Colin appeared to be several years older than the 20-year-old he knew – and certainly broader across the shoulders. Beyond that, everything from his clothing to his deportment was more mature in a way that couldn’t occur overnight.

    And then, as if the universe was determined to prove Anthony even more insane – the younger brother he was used to also appeared in the entryway, lured by the sound of his name.

    “Yes, Anthony, what is it?” the more-familiar Colin asked impatiently before he caught sight of his double, and his neck whipped around. “You’re –”

    “You,” the older Colin agreed, his forehead furrowing as he took in his other self. Standing across from each other, their differences were even more apparent. “As I think you’ve surmised by now, I’m the same Colin you know – only misplaced a little. By about three years, based on the context.”

    Summary

    She told him to be quiet, and she told him to be still, but he can feel every curve of her body and it’s driving him mad, and her perfume is making him dizzy, and his chest hurts, and his throat burns, and he just needs to say it

    “Please don’t marry him,” he whispers, “it will kill me if you marry him."

    OR five times Colin tries to sabotage Penelope’s proposal, and the one time it works.

    Summary

    As Colin looked at the pair from across the ballroom, the jealousy bloomed grotesquely in his chest, like a large carnivorous plant that threatened to swallow him whole. When Penelope took Lumley by the elbow, Colin felt a phantom weight at his own side, taking his arm. In that moment, he could not help the image that flashed into his mind— Penelope on his arm, beaming up at him. Her eyes were shining as they usually did in those small moments between just the two of them. The jealousy was overtaken by something else, a kind of…yearning. To have Penelope at his side, to have her look at him like that again.

    It was at exactly that moment that Penelope turned to scan the ballroom, and her gaze caught his.

    Oh.

    Oh.
    ———
    Yet another addition to the world of Season 3 speculation! This will definitely follow show canon more than book canon, with some references to the book along the way.
    Work Title comes from "Starlings" by Elbow, one of my favorite Polin songs and one of the best songs ever, generally speaking.

    Summary

    She saw herself as he saw her, now. Wild, red curls loose around her shoulders, tumbling down her back and across her chest. Shapely curves and lustful eyes. Pale breasts and jiggly thighs. She was sin and she was desire. She was beautiful and she was his.

    “I do not need millions, as long as I have you.”

    Colin growled into her neck, his arm tightening around her waist. “Always, Penelope. You will always have me.”

    “Do you mean that?”

    Both of his arms wrapped around her, now, and he hugged her body to his, wrapping entirely around her from behind. She felt positively surrounded by him, and she has not loved a single thing more.

    “I do.” Colin said, solemn and serious. “I mean it with every bone in my body. For as long as I am breathing, Penelope, every single breath I take, will belong to you.”

    (Part of a multi-series of one-shots)

    Summary

    Colin was, despite his brother’s assertions otherwise, not actually completely emotionally stunted.

    He knew that it was weird that Penelope's date bothered him; it was not normal to feel a rush of annoyance when you thought of your friend on a date, nor was it typical to want to wrap her in a duvet and lock the door to stop her from leaving. And as he sat, contemplating his predicament, he knew that the way he had looked at Penelope, clad in a distractingly low-cut top and devastatingly flattering jeans, was not the way one should look at a friend. When she smiled at him, something fluttering and unknown sat low in his stomach, and when she parted her lips to trace them in mauve, something warmer had licked long his spine.

    He knew then he was fucked; no good ever came from loving one’s best friend.

    Summary

    “May I ask you something?” she asks. He nods, seeming to sense the seriousness of her tone. “Why did you marry me? ”

    Colin is startled by the question. That much Penelope knows, even though she does not know how he is going to answer it.

    Or, Colin and Penelope talk after the Butterfly Ball.
