    Summary

    Everyone knew that Colin was the king of gift-giving, so when his wife threatened to take away his crown this Christmas, he took that personally.

    OR

    People-pleasing Colin goes mental when he thinks Penelope might out-gift him.

    Summary

    The plan is this: come home, get a real job, stop running away from the only woman he has ever truly wanted, and make Penelope Featherington see him as something other than her goofy, perpetually wandering best friend.

    The plan is simple and elegant, and all sorted—except for that final little bullet point. No big deal.

    What could possibly go wrong?

    Summary

    For Colin, no matter how many countries he visited, how many people he met, how useful he was to the crown, he was haunted by Penelope.

    After the first month he started to fill a journal with words that are written about her, for her, hoping to find his way towards understanding and forgiveness (what choice did he truly have, between forgiving her and never seeing her again?). Letters piled up unsent, but he could stop producing them - his words spilling out of him like air.

    By the fifth month of his travels, he had started to hallucinate her, catching glimpses of her red hair across a piazza. One night, half-deranged, he trailed the sound of her voice through the streets to find only a dead-end and her absence.
    Another night, boots frozen to cobblestones he was trapped under the glare of her bright blue eyes peaking out in shock from under a heavy cloak. A cart toppled behind him, a moment of distraction. When he looked back, the spirit had disappeared.

    He no longer knew if he was searching for something or fleeing from it. In the seventh month he returned home, and found it was fundamentally changed.

    Penelope was gone.

    Summary

    “I’m sorry,” he tested, pleased when she seemed to deflate a little in relief. “I don’t mean to upset you, Pen. It’s just—well, I feel very…it makes me a little crazy to see you with anybody else.”

    To Colin’s astonishment, fear didn’t come flooding back into her eyes at his admission. In fact, her eyes seemed to go a touch hazy, the last of her frown melting away as she looked all over his face, her gaze lingering for a few seconds on his mouth.

    “I’ve never made a guy crazy before,” she murmured, still staring at his mouth.

    Colin’s belly began fluttering and clenching, a nervous energy suddenly ricocheting all over his insides—she liked the fact she made him crazy. She liked that he was a little surly and snarly and mean. What’s more—she liked that she was the cause of it.

    “You make me crazy, Pen,” he whispered, dragging his eyes to her mouth. “Don’t make me hurt anybody else when all I want is you.”

    Summary

    It was the morning after what should have been the happiest day of their lives, but Colin and Penelope are broken, exhausted, and not getting a chance to breathe.

    Or:

    A couple of months ago someone on Twitter asked if there was a fiction picking up after the “you do not have to leave”/“I wish to” exchange and so I wrote one. They’re both trying their best, okay?
