[OOC] Christmas fic!

[neverlostfaith]

'sup, homeskillets?

Christmas is coming up, and, because I'm going to have a lot of free time this week, and I want to write more with Gwen, I've decided to do a request post! So basically, here's how it works:

Step 1: You pick what you want (topic, characters, setting, prompt, etc.)
Step 2: I write you something! It could be a drabble, or a fic, or something inbetween. We'll see!
Step 3: Read, and enjoy. Hopefully.

So, request away!

Merlin/Gwen || The Road Not Taken

[neverlostfaith.livejournal.com]

Gwen had never been a particularly big fan of rough-tumble, save the world kind of guys. Too much time spent around Prince Arthur, who had been “trained to kill since birth,” and Leon, who wasn’t nearly as much of a prat as Arthur, but still had his moments, had her convinced that they were all the same, that they were all, to put it lightly, jerks, and she wanted absolutely nothing to do with that.

Merlin was a breath of fresh air, when she first met him. He wasn’t afraid to stand up for what he believed in, and he was sweet. She really couldn’t help falling for him, and when she fell, she fell hard.

Merlin, for his part, didn’t seem to notice at first, and thought of her as a friend. But, after she kissed him, it was hard not to notice. She had kissed him, after all. And friends usually don’t just kiss their friends. And if they did, they didn’t get butterflies in their stomachs.

It was a bit awkward after the kiss, but things seemed to follow a natural progression of events. Merlin and Gwen had an awkward conversation, which ended with Merlin asking Gwen if she’d like to join him on a walk through the woods. Walks through the woods turned into picnics, when the weather was nice enough, and shared meals in Gwen’s house, or Gaius’s chambers when it wasn’t. Kisses were stolen in alcoves and hallways when they crossed paths and nobody was looking. And hands were held whenever possible. They were shy and secretive at first, but grew bolder over time, and soon all of the servants in the castle were gossiping about them.

They were happy, though, and that was all that mattered. Or, at least it was all that mattered to them.

No arguments from me about that! I think it'd be super cute. :D And potentially hilarious, depending on the reason why!
