    Summary

    "You can't distract me, who isn't being fucked properly?" Colin's eyes have lit up, ever the gossip.

    Eloise gestures to Pen, too drunk to heed her pleading eyes, "Penelope. Can you believe it? A body like that and no man has managed to get her off? A travesty!"

    "Fucksake," Penelope moans, covering her face with her hands.

    Colin swivels towards her, swaying slightly at the speed he moved, "You're lying."

    "Colin, I really can't have this conversation with you." She already knows that the man she's madly in love with would never understand. She's seen his Instagram posts, the girls all over him. It's not going to be anything he can relate to.

    Summary

    Just one kiss.

    The question had surprised him; although it should not have, because her bravery has always been one of the many qualities he admired most about her.

    It does not have to mean anything.

    Still, Colin had hesitated. Not because of her, but for her. To ensure she understood the gravity of her ask. To allow her a respite to withdraw it if she wished to do so. But Penelope had not relented, instead murmuring his name and a desperate please that made him weak and ready to surrender to her.

    And since he is Colin and she is Penelope, and he would do almost anything for her, he did as she asked.

    They kissed, just the gentlest brush of their mouths moving together, and—

    After the events of 3x02, Penelope vanishes, Colin falls apart, and a series of very different events are put into motion.

    Summary

    “Colin, is this… is this real?”

    He regards her warmly, a soft expression on his face.

    “This is real,” he assures her.

    “And last night…?”

    “Real, too,” he nods. “It is all real, Pen. Miss Cowper has no claim on your column, and the Queen will not stand against you operating it.”

    “A better outcome than expected, is it not?” Penelope muses with a watery chuckle.

    Colin considers her fondly—proudly, too, she realizes—and says, “Fortune favors the brave. And my wife is the bravest of them all.”

    --

    or, taking place between the end 3x08 through to the s3 epilogue, see how Colin and Penelope take on married life, navigating the aftermath of the events of season 3, managing their own household, their impending parenthood, and reaching their individual pursuits together.
