    Summary

    It wasn’t normal for them not to see each other as soon as he was back, and she knew he’d be upset, but selfishly Penelope really wanted to try and move on from him, and make things work with the new guy in her life, she liked him and he seemed to like her too. They’d been seeing each other for a few weeks and she didn’t want Colin to derail things.

    So she bought herself more time before seeing Colin again. Better to focus on possibility, she'd told herself.

    But then they'd had a fight.

    Summary

    “What I was saying is that I believe the G-spot orgasm is a lie. It’s a myth. Something told to teenage girls to entice them into having sex so they’ll lose their virginities in so-so fashion in the back of a car only to be left a few weeks later by some loser looking to repopulate the penguins in Antarctica and —” She trailed off as Eloise started to poke her in the ribs and Daphne mumbled “Girrrrrl” into her drink quietly. 

    Colin’s brain felt fuzzy as he absorbed her words. He knew she was referencing her terrible ex-boyfriend Alfred. But now he knew that fucker took her virginity and did a terrible job and what was he supposed to do with that information? File it away, probably, so that he could unpack it at 3:00 in the morning on a random Tuesday. 

     At twenty-seven years old, he’d had his share of sexual experiences. None of it had been particularly mind-blowing, and as he thought harder, he couldn’t actually remember a partner getting off entirely in that way. Or had they? Why was he suddenly not sure?

    Was it actually possible that Penelope was right?

    No, that couldn’t be true.

    Let's have some *platonic* orgasms, like besties do ✌️

    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 and Penelope had an unlikely friendship with a side of purely inquisitive, deeply scientific fascination. On Penelope's part anyway.  It was just an infatuation. Because of course she hadn’t fallen in love with him when she was eleven, or fifteen, or twenty-five.

    That would be ridiculous.

    They were just friends. That’s how friends behave.

    Right?

    But what if the fabric of their being was tied to the other? And even after the first fracture they both held on? What if it all came down to timing?

    OR:

    Penelope thinks this is the closest she’ll ever get to him.

    Colin thinks this is the closest she’ll ever let him get.
