Summary
“Penelope Featherington, you climbed all those steps just to come and see me in my tower, which means something must be wrong,” comes Agatha’s clipped voice from the other end of the door. “I see no sense in prolonging things, so you may as well come in.”
Penelope murmurs a quiet apology as she enters, shutting the heavy door behind her. Further into the room, Agatha Danbury beckons her over to where she’s seated by the fireplace, deep purple robes billowing around her.
“You look frightened, child,” Agatha says. “What is it that could possibly have you worked into such a state?”
“Colin Bridgerton—” Penelope says, still attempting to catch her breath from the climb.
“Ah.”
Penelope ignores the knowing timbre in Agatha’s voice and pushes forward.
“I believe he is under a love spell.”
— OR —
The one where Penelope is Merlin, Colin is not quite the Once and Future King, but still a Prince of Camelot, and Penelope must figure out how to save Colin (again) from dark magic, all while keeping her own magic a secret.Bookmarked by dearest_gentle_reader

Summary
“You punched Theo? Did he try something with you? Did he hurt you?”
“No! Oh my God, no, not at all!”
“Then why the hell did you have to punch him?” Colin asks, voice raising slightly. “If he didn’t do anything, was it something that he said? Did he disrespect you?”
“I- well, yes, a little bit but-”
“Right, I’m gonna kill him.”
“What?” Penelope says as he all but storms past her. “Colin, wait! I haven’t told you the whole story yet!”
But he’s already storming down the stairs. “Sharpe, I swear to God I’m gonna…”
Colin’s words escape him as he tries to comprehend the sight in front of him. Theo, tied up, gagged with his own tie. He blinks, and then he turns to Penelope.
"Okay, so I know that this looks bad, but hear me out…”
In which Penelope has to hold Theo hostage to stop him from ruining Eloise's wedding, and the only person around to help her is her ex-boyfriend that she just had a one night stand with. What could go possibly wrong?
