<p>Dearest gentle Polin, we have been apart for far two long. </p><p><br></p><p>As we celebrate the second anniversary of the imperfect season of our hearts, it’s time to head back home to the drawing-room window with a view of the house across the street. </p><p><br></p><p>In our special Polin Q&amp;A, we’ll be looking back over two years of blow-away balloons, cheek strokes and the best first kiss Veg has ever seen before making room on the chaise for our favourite redhead and a green-eyed imposter. </p><p><br></p><p>After a spot of tea with Book Polin, we’ll be grabbing our devilishly yellow headcoverings and taking a promenade through Polin’s past, from the very first Vauxhall jig through to a final retirement sway. Once we’ve picked Penelope up from the pavement and the 408 dance off the cutting room floor, we’ll also find time to reminisce over crumbs, blurs and our very own histories of connection. </p><p><br></p><p>Raise your glasses of lemonade, old friends. We have a happily ever after on our hands and a love story for the ages.</p><p><br></p><p>Is life supposed to be this wonderful? We think so. We really do. </p><p><br></p><p>* </p><p><br></p><p><strong>Veg&#39;s Recommendation for Bath Tours: </strong><a href="https://www.fredmawertours.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.fredmawertours.co.uk/</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Need help editing a podcast? </strong>We highly recommend <a href="https://linktr.ee/zh.nikolaev" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">this editor.</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Polin Fanfic Recommendations</strong></p><p>Ruin by Sea_Dragonfly</p><p>Making It Up As We Go Along by LazyTuesdayMorning</p><p>Yo Ho Ho, Off to the Sea We Go! by Lady Ticklebotham</p><p>scraped up off the pavement by missparker</p><p>U Up? by Stillpink and Dollypop</p><p>Dance Card by Katie_500 &amp; Stillpink</p><p>The Trouble with Teatime by ninjamanda</p><p>A Practical Romance by KatofKanals</p><p>one man’s bungled nuptials are another man’s dot dot dot by Requited_Fantasies (WIP/Unfinished)</p><p>Thus Will Shine the Dawn by bluemountainbayou</p><p>Fill of Love (Series) by logogram</p><p>Remembering Mrs. Bridgerton by Stillpink</p><p>If Not Thousands by logogram</p><p>turn around, bright eyes by ThreeFundamentalTruths (WIP/Unfinished)</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Authors Referenced in General</strong></p><p>Sea_Dragonfly</p><p>LazyTuesdayMorning</p><p>Stillpink</p><p>KatofKanals</p><p>MellieMaybe</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Non-Polin Fics Referenced </strong></p><p>Ceramic by quietcactus (Debling/Cressida)</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Podcasts Reference</strong></p><p>Fics and Recs – A Fanfiction Podcast</p><p>36 Questions – The Podcast Musical</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Lechi&#39;s Songs for Polin</strong></p><p>Perfect by Ed Sheeran</p><p>The Only One by James Blunt </p><p>Feels Like This by Maisie Peters</p><p>You &amp; Me by James TW </p><p>Fall Into Me by Forrest Blakk</p><p>Kiss Me by Dermot Kennedy </p><p><br></p><p><strong>Obvs’ Songs for Polin</strong></p><p>Falling Slowly by Steve Kazee, Cristin Milioti and the Once Ensemble </p><p>I, Carrion (Icarian) by Hozier</p><p>There is a Light That Never Goes Out by The Smiths</p><p>Attention by Charlie Puth</p><p>Forever Ago by Woodlock</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Follow Us</strong></p><p>Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/whatabarbpod/ </p><p>Instagram⁠: https://www.instagram.com/whatabarbpod/ ⁠ ⁠</p><p>TikTok⁠: https://www.tiktok.com/@whatabarbpod⁠ </p><p>YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WhataBarbPod</p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
