Mini Challenge 4 :: Best Overall 3-way Tie...needs a solvin'
Best Overall Tie Poll - closes in 8hrs @ 6pm (AEST)
// Well, we have a Winner...but we need 2 runner ups. So if you'd all be so kind and vote again?
- - - - - - -
More info, on how we tallied it, in case you're interested:
We had 10 Best Overall Voters, and these 3 ficlets ended up locked on 20pts.
With the scores added, like so: 1st = 5pts | 2nd = 3pts | 3rd = 2pts.
To keep it fair, I'm going to do the same for these results; each vote for 2nd place will equal 3pts towards a fic. And each vote for 3rd will equal 2pts. As opposed to just going by percentage.

"It's not that bad," Gwen reassured Arthur.
"You don't have to play dead for the next four hours!"
“Yeah, pretty unlucky that,” Merlin said, barely pulling off a sympathetic tone. He straightened his fake mustache.
Morgana threw Arthur a frighteningly innocent smile. “You know, it’s really up to you when this night ends….”
“I’m not helping you cheat, Morgana.”
“The sooner the mystery’s solved, the sooner you and Gwen-”
“It was Leon,” Arthur answered immediately.
Gwen rolled her eyes. “You really are hopeless, aren’t you?” she said, but her words couldn’t hide the smile tugging at her lips.

Tie 2|| Prompt: You look good with facial hair. You don't but nice try.
+ Manly Bonding (PG)
Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table had been gone for three months defending the border with Odin. They came through the courtyard to the steps where Guinevere and Gaius were waiting.
Gwen went to hug Arthur but stopped suddenly. “What is THAT?”
Arthur looked confused. “It’s a beard.”
“Why do you have a beard?”
“Um … it’s a disguise and besides everyone knows that it’s harder to kill a man with a beard.” Arthur smiled hoping she liked it. “We all grew one.”
Gwen sighed. “I’m not kissing you till you shave it off.”
“Yes Guinevere.”
___________
Tie 3|| Prompt: Arthur looks good in a suit. Gwen looks even better.
+ Tricks of the Trade (PG13)
“Guinevere, have you seen my- oh.” Arthur stopped in the doorway as his eyes fell on his girlfriend.
His girlfriend in nothing but his suit jacket.
Staring up at him from their bed.
“You were looking for something?” Her features were schooled into an innocent expression.
“I ... er....” he garbled.
“This?” Arthur, captivated by glimpses of her bare flesh, could only nod. “I suppose you need it for tonight….” She made to remove the jacket, but within moments Arthur had taken over.
“Okay, forget the dinner,” he said. Gwen flashed him a pleased smile as his lips met hers.
