Summary
She made a little humming noise. “I am afraid, Sir Knight, that this is one danger you cannot wave your sword at. There is no escaping my marriage.”
“Oh. That. Marriage is no danger.”
She gave him a look of such sharpness that he felt himself wither. “You are a man. You do not have the first idea of the dangers marriage entails for women.” Her chin trembled though she held it aloft. “And you are a Knight Protector — you are not permitted to marry until after I am wed.”
He opened his mouth to retort — but closed it quickly. She was, he supposed, right. In fact he could not imagine someone less suited to offer counsel on the subject than himself.
“What is it that you fear?” he asked.
She took a deep breath. “Cruelty. Neglect. Loneliness. A life spent in solitude and uselessness, my mind slowly disintegrating through lack of exertion. There is so much world out here, Colin, and I shall only ever see one tiny patch of it. I fear dying after a life only half-lived. I have dreams and ambitions and they shall never, ever be realised. So while I am able, I mean to live.”

Summary
From the moment of their accidental meeting as young children through the trauma of hurt and loss, the heartbreak of adolescence, and the confusion of young adulthood, Colin and Penelope's connection anchors them both.
This story aims for hurt and comfort in equal measure as it follows the "platonic best friends" (really, though?) as they grow up, with time jumps between each chapter as we see them navigate their lives together. Their story is one of true friends to lovers, where lines blur and it's hard to see where friendship ends and love begins, because perhaps they've been together all along.
*CW: This is NOT a dark fic, but does contain mature themes, specifically a child abuse storyline.*

Ch 1 Preview:
She was startled and looked up into his eyes for a moment, and then started giggling. It was the most beautiful sound he had ever heard. It sounded like his mom’s wind chimes on the back porch, or the bells on the ice cream truck when it rounded the corner… but even more magical. He giggled back at her.
“I’m Colin,” he said with a smile that he didn’t even have to try to make so big.
“Penelope,” said the girl with the giggle that was now his favorite song.
