    Summary

    At Penelope's 30th Birthday celebration at Aubrey Hall, some unexpected news throws her for a loop. This causes her to divulge her greatest wish to the man she trusts most, leading to a conversation that ends up changing both of their lives.

    -----------

    “And you are going to start a fire on the carpet with your frantic pacing. What is wrong?”

    There was a plan, she had a plan, exact, nice words that were carefully chosen to save embarrassment if it came to it. Such a pity it was when they were completely abandoned when she looked up and straight into his stormy blue eyes, blurting out exactly the thing that had been swirling around her mind all night.

    “I wish to be a mother, and I wish for you to help me”

    Summary

    "Can I help you find something?"

    Penelope Featherington jumps at the sound of a voice coming from behind her. She shouldn't be surprised, however, that the young, dark-haired, friendly-looking man who was behind the counter earlier is checking on her now. She's been standing frozen for the last few minutes in front of a wide display of items lined up on a wall that are entirely foreign to her. They're entirely foreign to her because she's a virgin in a sex shop, and suddenly the grand plans she had coming in here today all feel very, very stupid.

    --

    Or, virgin Pen wanders into Colin's sex shop one day in an unusual beginning to their happily ever after.

    Summary

    Two strangers. One room. Fifty days. No stimuli. £5 million.

    A desperate Penelope enters a study to win £5 million. All she has to do is stay in a stark-white, nearly empty room for fifty days with another person. No technology, no books, no games, no anything. Nothing but a bed, a bathroom, and a person she’s never met for almost two months.

    It seems easy enough, until she steps out of the elevator and sees that her partner is anything but a stranger, and this study is anything but ordinary.

    Written for Polin Week 2025 Day Two: Forced Proximity.

    Summary

    It’s just unfortunate that it all comes out right before the party because Eloise and Phil are coming and that relationship is very fragile. They’re all very careful around one another. Very polite and formal, almost. Like strangers who happen to know everything about one another. It’s just that, for whatever reason, Bonnie loves her Aunt Eloise.

    Like, loves her.
