Two Merlin ficlets: g-rated het
I guess I never got around to reposting these two Merlin droubles, which I wrote back in October for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
writing_game week 65. They're both set early in season 1 and I think they're the only things I've written for these two pairings, so yay for variety.
Title: Dandelion
Characters/Pairings: Gwen/Merlin
Rating: G
Warnings: none
Words: 200
Prompt: Dandelion
"But that's a weed," Gwen blurted, and bit her tongue as soon as she saw Merlin's face. It felt like she'd kicked a puppy.
"I'm sorry," he stammered
"No, it's lovely!" She took it from him and smiled. It didn't help.
"I didn't mean anything by it, I just thought of you, with your yellow dress, and I wanted to thank you, for the other day, and what you said, and I–"
"Merlin," said Gwen. "I'm sorry, I misspoke. A weed's just a plant in the wrong place, after all, and dandelions can be a nuisance once they've gone to seed. But you've picked it just in time, see? And this–" she tucked it into her hair – "is just the right place for it. Thank you."
Merlin's face lit up. "It's all right then?"
"It's perfect." And to prove that she meant it she kissed him on the cheek. Merlin grinned stupidly for a few moments and then wandered off without another word.
"Too soon," Gwen sighed. She'd been living like a flower out of place for years, but since he showed up she'd started to think… Ah well, maybe it was just her timing that was wrong.
Title: Noticing
Characters/Pairings: Arthur/Morgana + Gwen
Rating: G
Warnings: none
Words: 200
Prompts: Sister, Surprise
Morgana had thought of herself as Arthur's sister for so long, at first she didn't even understand the hints her maid was dropping.
"The Lady Beverley will be here this week," said Gwen, "but don't worry, she's already spoken for."
"Why should I worry?"
"That's just what I said." Gwen smiled awkwardly. "You shouldn't."
"The blue gown," Gwen said another time, "he doesn't even realise, but that one's his favourite. You can tell by–"
Gwen cut herself off, but that evening Morgana caught Arthur watching – and not just staring at her breasts the way he'd started doing when they were fourteen and kept on until (she found out later) Morgana's nurse had a word with Uther, who got Gaius to have a word with Arthur. Anyhow, that night was different. He wasn't paying attention to any one part of her body, or her dress. He was watching her, her mood, her way of moving. It made her want to move more, to talk, to be interesting, moody…dangerous. Not the pretty ornament Uther liked to put on display, but a person who was worth watching.
When Arthur smirked at her, she was surprised to realise she'd been staring too.
