Mutifandom Pretend Dating/Relationship fest!

So last year (ha!) hermette was talking on twitter about a pretend dating fest, which I hijacked like an appropriate metaphor. Now the holidays are over I thought this would be a good time to host it! Without further ado:

Fandom: Merlin
Pairing and/or characters: Gwaine/Percival
Rating: Any
I would love to see: banter, typical Gwaine flirtiness, stoic but smart Percy, heartache (not break, they ultimately should end up together. Gwercival is love), angst, consensual sex (tho it doesn't have to include this, kissing, feeeeels
I woud not like to see: nothing really
Anything else you want to add: Gwaine is known for his inability to have a long term relationship, but he told his family he has a boyfriend just to get them off his back. So he's in a pickle when he has to go home for some reason (family reunion?) and has to bring said boyfriend. Enter Percy. They've been friends for years, but Percy has always ignored Gwaine's incessant flirting. Gwaine doesn't realize that it's because Percy is deeply, painfully in love with Gwaine and doesn't want to settle for just a one-off. Gwaine manages to convince Percy to be his fake boyfriend for the family event. Things happen. Maybe Gwaine sees Percy flirting with someone else? Maybe he spends so much time

On Saturday morning when Percy woke up, the side of the bed that Gwaine had slept on was already empty. His heart lurched a little; this is what he’d always been afraid of, and yet they hadn’t even really done anything. He considered packing his things and sneaking away so that he didn’t have to experience the rest of the painfully awkward weekend, but was still laying in bed, paralyzed by indecision, when Gwaine emerged from the bathroom clad in nothing but a towel

That evening, dinner was a more relaxed affair set up as a buffet. People got little plates of food and drink and mingled, and Percy helped himself to his fair share, and more, of champagne-the real stuff, not the kind he and Gwaine used to purchase from Tesco at uni. Maybe tonight he’d be the one to get good and pissed

Croquet? Approval from Mummy? Oh, poor, poor Percival. He's in so deep now. Maybe seeing him with Merlin will knock some sense into our dear Gwaine.

Also, "I gathered. Your problem is giving me a death glare." LOL Oh Arthur, always the king of subtlety.

Love, love, love this!!!

I want to hug Merlin and Arthur and then knock Percy and Gwaine's heads together.

Men. Silly silly men.

Ty and ty for so much for hosting! Also, if you link to the prompt thread in the master list instead of the first part of the fic, it will show all of the parts of the fic... I knew it was going to be long and didn't want to keep replying to the first bit, knowing I'd wind up with one of those really thin annoying columns! Ack :)

Thank you for giving us our first fill (and what a wonderful fill it is). Ah, I never noticed that, I'll change the link now :)

It was a relief to be away from the party out underneath the stars; they’d taken two bottles of champagne with them and Merlin tossed him a fag and a lighter. Percy lit up, letting the first drag burn its way into his lungs. The garden was much more pleasant without a bevy of chattering Mountbattens

“What’s it look like?” Percy asked, holding up the stub of his fag. “Smoking

Gwaine’s smile fell. “Maybe I’m not a prize, I know that. I’m full of shit half the time and lord knows I’ve put you through hell. But I loved waking up with you this morning. I watched you sleep, wanted to kiss you-not even to get off, just to kiss you. I love the way you take care of me when you think I don’t notice. Who else would have come here and put up with my insane family?” He took a step back, and Percy immediately felt the loss, wanted Gwaine’s body against him again, but more than that, wanted to believe what he was saying was true.

“No one gets me like you do. I don’t have fun with anyone like I do with you. You’re my best mate. Bloody right I want to fuck you. You know I love your body-who doesn’t?-but I love what’s inside it even more. So don’t tell me I don’t know how I feel. I don’t even know if I want to feel it. Scares the piss out me to think I might lose you

*happy sigh* I think Gwaine still might have some groveling to do (I mean, he should definitely be on his knees, heeee), but I'm so happy he realized he was being a twat!

And yay for secret-notsecret Merthur!!!

HOLY SHIT THIS IS PERFECT! I just raced through it because everything... I love slutty!clueless!Gwaine who finally gets a clue and pining Percival and the snooty set and all the tension. Merlin and Arthur, ugh. Gwaine can finally grow up and they can be in love. It's so fantastically put together. Funny, sharp, and feely. EEEEE!

Re: My Best Friend's Boyfriend (11/?)

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Gwaine and Arthur pulling their heads out of their respective arses!!!

And I love the last line, Gwaine is still Gwaine.

You're the best. Seriously. <3 <3 <3
