Summary
Penelope is convinced to attend the university’s annual winter carnival under the promise she’ll see the rarely-in-London-anymore Colin Bridgerton. When she does spot him, however, he’s running the football team’s kissing booth.
Which makes her want to throw up, quite frankly.
Perplexingly, it also puts certain things into motion Colin discovers he is not prepared for.

Summary
During a perfectly normal study session, Colin asks what he swears is an innocent question.
Because it seems like having built-in pillows on one’s chest would make laying on one’s stomach and studying for an upcoming English exam almost comfortable.
Then Penelope invites him to see for himself exactly how comfortable it is, and Colin’s afternoon takes a decidedly unexpected turn.

Summary
“C’mon, get excited! Can’t start our marriage off with a sour face like that,” he chided, shooting her his most roguish grin.
Penelope’s heart gave a little lurch.
The marriage was a sham, of course. She and Colin were partners in the FBI, and before that they had been friends growing up. In fact, it was his insistence that she’d make an excellent field agent that had spurred her to apply in the first place.
Well, that and the small fact she was utterly in love with him.
The moment he’d proposed they go undercover to investigate what had happened to the lovely couple who had disappeared overnight from the highly-coveted Arcadia Falls neighborhood, Penelope knew she was in trouble. And yet, having given the idea precisely four seconds of thought, she’d agreed.
***
OR: Colin is Mulder and Pen is Scully (obviously) and they’ve got a mystery to solve, gang!

Summary
When Colin agrees to work the annual Flagons & Flails Renaissance Festival with Penelope this summer, she expects him to be disappointed by the overall, well, nerdiness of it.
Instead, Penelope finds him actually paying attention to her, noticing her, and even appreciating her a bit. Certainly more than he ever did before.
And she kind of thinks it might destroy her.

Summary
Colin snatched up his die. “Okay.” He swallowed, his neck sweltering under his collar. “Roll to…kiss?”
A giggle raced around the table, eyes darting between Colin’s presumably florid face and Michaela’s mischievous one.
“Roll, or kiss her for real and call it a nat twenty,” Genevieve muttered loud enough for everyone to hear, hoisting her wine glass with a smirk at Michaela, who lifted her eyebrows in consideration.
“I’ll allow it,” Michaela ruled, nodding her chin once firmly at Genevieve before turning to smile fetchingly for Colin. “Your move, horny bard.”
OR: Michaela uses a D&D one-shot to push together two oblivious idiots in love using the power of roleplay.

Summary
She rolled her eyes. “Colin, the other night you gave me a twenty minute massage, ran me a bath, and then insisted on going down on me until I had an orgasm before you’d even take off your trousers.”
He set his glass down, amused but slightly miffed. “And where is the problem?”
“There is no problem, I am simply asserting that it might be hot to, say, walk in the door, flip up my skirt, and start fucking me while I’m cooking dinner.”
OR: Penelope suggests she and Colin experiment with free use.

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.”
