    Summary

    The afterlife has a lot less fire and brimstone than Logan Echolls expected. In fact it look an awful lot like his childhood bedroom.

    A mental time-travel alternate reality dimension hopping story featuring Logan Echolls. And probably too little logic.

    Summary

    Colin Bridgerton has written a book, and it’s been surprisingly successful. There’s one small snag: his publisher thinks his female pen name is really him. What’s a boy to do but ask an old friend for a little favour, just one publicity appearance, while his publisher puts out a second print run? Surely she will say yes? Surely their own history and feelings won’t get in the way? And surely things won’t spiral from one little white lie to maintain his anonymity into... a publishing deal at risk, a possible Netflix adaption offer, and, oh God, a romance writers’ conference?

    As his old friend Pen likes to say, "It’s go time, girls."

    (a.k.a. a story extremely loosely inspired by the Claudia Karvan & Hugh Jackman romcom, Paperback Hero. No planes and no Hugh Jackman in this story though. Sorry.)

    Summary

    Several months after the birth of his son in 1816, Colin goes to bed and wakes up shortly after his return from Greece around two years previously. After a day of indecision, he decides that there are a few things he's going to try to change, and he's going to need Penelope's help. Together, they navigate the 1814 social season using Colin's knowledge from the next two years.

    Summary

    “Honestly, Colin. I think we’ve had enough of this silliness. You don’t want to marry me.”
    “Dash it all, Penelope, I’ve just said I—”
    “Have you even considered that I don’t want to marry you?”
    He reared back, the look of shock on his face almost comical.

    What if Penelope refused Colin's proposal after the carriage incident?
    What if Penelope stood firm in her refusal and Colin had to work a little bit harder for that "yes"?

    (An alternate take going from the end of Chapter 13 of Romancing Mr. Bridgerton. Book Canon with a few show shout-outs.)

    ETA: As some of you may have noticed, I've changed the rating from M to E. I just can't help it. There's some spicy stuff coming (something the book was sorely lacking in) and I wanted it to be just wee bit spicier than what I consider M to be (though I know such things are usually subjective).
