Summary
When Colin Bridgerton returns to London for a social media sabbatical, Penelope suggests that he crash with her for the duration, however long it might be. Sure, she's been in love with him forever, and sure she has a full-time job, and sure she's a secret romance writer and nobody knows it, but she's really good at hiding things, so it should be fine, right? But when she also suggests that he work with her publisher, all of the secrets she's been so carefully tending start creeping into the light.

Summary
He’d been enjoying his time in Thailand but home, with its graveyard of brownery and Penelope (Penelope), inspired Colin to cut his trip short by a week. Besides, he had to know if Lady Whistledown, the lady palm proven impossible to kill, had finally received comeuppance for her addiction to talking shit.
Mostly, though, he was resolved.
Colin didn’t want to dance around this anymore. He ascribed to Harry Burns’ school of thought on romance and every moment spent trying to feign indifference felt like a waste. He was going home, and he was going to make her witness what she did to him. No more pretending.

“I did,” she says.
Damn. There’s always been a disconnect between her mouth and her brain.or

Summary
Penelope never felt more warm, safe, and secure than she did when she was being held by Colin’s strong arms, her face buried into his neck, inhaling his scent. She felt completely surrounded and protected by him, like nothing could touch her. Her heart constricted. It was moments like these when she felt she would never be able to claw her way back up the slippery slope that was loving Colin Bridgerton.
***
After years of close friendship and mutual pining, Penelope and Colin finally find their way to one another, and try to navigate a new relationship while dealing with the scars left behind from Penelope’s previous relationship.

Summary
“Colin!” Penelope shouts, her face lighting up with a smile that had to be a million or two watts, rivaling the brightness of the sun.
“Pen,” he says, feeling some kind of weight drop from his shoulders, replaced by her when she jumps on him. Her arms wind around his neck and instinctively, he catches her, one hand on the back of her thigh and the other pressed against her lower back.
“Fuck, I missed you,” she breathes.
It’s exactly the homecoming he’d wished for. His heart takes off in his chest. She smells like vanilla and lavender, and her whole body is warm and wrapped around him, and he wonders if maybe they could stay like this for the rest of their lives, because God, he’s missed her, too.
With his face buried in her neck, Colin murmurs, “Yeah, me, too.” Neither of them really let go, and he doesn’t want to read into it that much because—he doesn’t even know. Because he’s scared, maybe. Probably. Because he doesn't understand it and doesn’t want to. Because for all his exploration of caves and canyons, he isn’t sure he’s ready for whatever he’d find the second he reads the text of their friendship and discovers something hidden between the lines.

Summary
Sirius has just turned seventeen and feels on top of the world. Sure, he's got a bit of an ego problem, and maybe he doesn't actually enjoy all the attention he receives, but things are good. Life is easy.
Seventeen, however, brings complication with it. Remus won't speak to him, James might be having a secret love affair, and Sirius has just discovered time travel.
When Sirius continues to fuck up his relationships in the present, he runs away to the future, where a man with a kind smile and a scared face awaits him. He's torn between his two realities; between the comforts his 30 year old friends provide him, and the promise his youth holds.
But the '90s isn't as shiny as it seems, and Sirius is left to grapple with the fact that he is not, in fact, indestructible.
With what feels like the weight of the world on his shoulders, Sirius must decide what he wants for his life.
He isn't quite sure if he's ready for the answer

Now, as Rosie sat curled up against Sherlock’s side, John watched and wondered exactly how he had ended up here. Domesticity had never suited him before, not at any point in his life. His disastrous marriage had been proof of that. But somehow, here in the warmth and safety of 221B Baker Street, here with Sherlock Holmes reading medical jargon to his daughter, Sherlock’s bony feet nudging against his leg, John couldn’t imagine anyplace that would make him happier.
