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.

Knowing all of this, Penelope still falls for Colin. She can tell he’s different—that he’s good.
Then, the horrifying truth comes out and they have to decide what it means to choose someone knowing exactly what kind of monster they really are.
