Summary: In one of the episodes of How I Met Your Mother the character create a list of 50 reasons to have sex. So I’ve written a fic for every reason. The fics are mostly slash and are from several different fandoms including (but not limited to) BBC Sherlock, Supernatural, Grimm, and Glee. Most fics stand alone.
In this chapter Gwaine tries to get in Merlin’s bed and he succeeds… sort of.
Masterpost
AN: Paratrooping/ banin’ for roof is defined in the How I Met Your Mother dictionary as “You go out of town, but instead of getting a hotel room, you go straight to a bar with the sole intention of hooking up with a girl just so you have a place to stay.” This chapter is based on the beginning of episode 3.12- Gwaine.
Gwaine arrives in Camelot with £10 in his pocket and a half-filled ruck sack on his back. That’s not enough for a decent place to stay but it is enough for a couple of beers. Of course if he plays his cards right, a few drinks could turn into a night of fun and a place to sleep.
At first, Gwaine is disappointed. No one really catches his eye until the skinny, pale bloke with the dark hair and rather large ears enters behind the muscular blond who looks like a prat. He’s about to send a drink over to their table when a neanderthal tries to threaten the pub’s owner. Blondie decides to be a hero and quickly gets in over his head.
So Gwaine jumps in. At first everything is going well. Gwaine takes out several of the neanderthal’s friends which seems to impress the skinny bloke. He even gets the skinny bloke to give him his name: ‘Merlin’. Then the shit had hit the fan. Gwaine had been extremely heroic in taking down the neanderthal but the knife sticking out of his leg had been at bit of a setback.
At least it gets him into Merlin’s bed... if not exactly as he had planned.
AN: Poor Gwaine. So far he’s the only significant character in these stories to not get any. Maybe I can fix that in another story. ;)
