Penny/Quentin OTP

the magicians meme: favorite characters [1/3] ☆ penny adiyodi

(Ch. 2 on Tumblr) (Ao3)

Notes: This is quite a bit overdue, I’m sorry! I’ve been working on a lot of stuff and finishing a lot of classes, things have been… chaotic. And I’m still in season 3! I haven’t had time to finish it up :( ANYWAYS here is chapter three (duhh) where they flop back and forth between fighting and almost getting along (aka flirting), as is their usual. Books and some slightly nerdy fandom shit is discussed. Reminder that this is a slow build! @penntin

This wasn’t real. He was just dreaming. It was a very bad, hyper realistic dream, but a dream nonetheless. Like that thing Quentin had been stuck in-

Oh, yeah. Fucking Quentin. Penny was stuck in this thing WITH him. Unbelievable. 

I wish it was a dream, dude. But I’ve had too many nightmares. I know this isn’t one. 

“Oh, fuck off!” Penny snarled. He hated this. He hated having to be right next to Quentin - chained to him - reliant on him for any of his senses to work. Touching each other. Mentally tied. 

It was like the worst goddamn prank in the universe. And the only person who was laughing was Eliot, when he’d come by to visit his fucking boy-toy and saw them tied up and sulking on Quentin’s bed.

Summary: 

Quentin fucks up a spell (Penny may or may not have also helped/hindered).

Quentin is the reason why everything smells like the Bog of Eternal Stench and Penny can’t see.

Quentin’s run-amuck brain brings all sorts of problems to the table.

Quentin is starting to make Penny feel funny in his chest (and his pants).

Fuck Quentin, man.

Notes: Okay so I have been binge-watching like a crazy lady and gotten up to the middle of season 3 (which is FAST for me) so this is almost hard to write, knowing things that have happened… but also fun to take it back to a simpler time, in a way. I’m putting this roughly at episode 10 era, I think? Some stuff has happened, but they’re not on any time-entrenched quest right now. 

Also, the spell they did? Google translate (eek). I tried my best, but I couldn’t find something that seemed fitting in any online spell books so I made my own to suit my purposes. So sorry if you speak Azerbaijani and this is wrong, I just kinda picked a language.

One last thing: I am still not sure about updates. I know I posted this chapter about a week after the first, but that’s because I’m on spring break and am, as I have said, OBSESSED. The next chapter might be tomorrow, it might be two weeks from now, I don’t know. But I’ll try not to let it hang too long!

“Uh, should we go to the infirmary?”

Penny sighed and rolled his eyes. “No, Q, we should not. Let’s just go through the rest of life blind and unable to smell anything other than that god awful-”

“Okay!” Quentin snapped, surprising him a little, and looked up from where he was kneeling at Penny’s feet. “Look, I’m sorry that we somehow messed up. I don’t know what it was. But whatever the hell happened, clearly we need to stick together. So can we just, I don’t know, get along for a bit?”

“Hmm…. No.”

Warnings/tags: Fluff, Getting Together, First Kiss, Friends to Lovers, Confusion, Marriage Proposal, Accidental Marriage, accidental Marriage Proposal, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Penny is pretty soft here, Banter

Summary: It was all in the apple. If only he hadn’t been holding it… but, was marriage really that bad? Penny was surprisingly calm for someone who had just proposed to a nerd he had hated four months ago. Maybe everything would be alright.

Author’s Notes: Taking a break from my other Penntin fic to write this one – it was one of those amazing daydreams us writers have that rarely get written down, but I thought this was worth getting out of bed and typing up. I should note that I decided to really diverge from canon because it just makes sense for this to be happening under different circumstances than what actually did. So, Julia managed to kill Reynard and the Beast, Penny’s hands never got fucked up, the wellspring was replenished, and both Alice and Kady are more or less out of the picture, romantically. Enjoy!

Quentin sighed and warmed his hands on the fire in front of him. He looked up at the night sky in between the tree tops and grinned, wondering how he managed to land himself such a great life in Fillory of all places. It was so unbelievable, and yet he had never been more awake. Maybe it was the opium air.

He snorted and took a bite of the apple in his hand, gazing around the fire at the four other men with him. Penny was busy roasting some pheasants he had caught, an orange glow reflecting his concentrated, furrowed eyebrows. The other three were servants of the castle - his servants, technically - that had come along to help with their quest.

penny: i never said that

someone: we got you on tape
