Yeah, Right, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight! by Emachinescat
A Merlin Fan-Fiction
SUMMARY: Gwaine gets ahold of a copy of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and reads it to his friends, who find it quite amusing. Chastity? Chivalry? Gwaine? Yeah, right! Double drabble, Crack!fic.
A/N: This was originally going to be part of my "Moments" drabble collection but I simply couldn't shave it down so I made it a double drabble and decided to publish it on its own. It references a few things from Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, but doesn't give away much plot at all. If you haven't read the story, you should – it's brilliant! :) Also: this is just a silly fic, but I'm thinking of doing a Merlin version of Sir Gawain in the near future, so keep an eye out for that, it should be fun! XD Here you are, please review! :)
Yeah, Right, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight!
Gwaine had somehow managed to get hold of a copy of an epic called Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, a chivalrous tale that was apparently famous years in the future. No one really knew how he had come across it, and no one cared to ask. Gwaine had a penchant for bringing strange things home from the bar, after all. He had taken to reading from it to the others around the campfire during quests, and was always met with laughter.
"Wait," Arthur chortled. "In this story you are the most chivalrous of all my knights?"
"And you refused Lord Burtilak's wife's advances because of your upstanding chastity?" Merlin giggled.
"I took her girdle," Gwaine protested in defense.
"Only because Lady Bertilak said it would save you from the Green Knight's game," Lancelot pointed out.
"And you felt really bad about it afterward," Elyan reminded him.
Gwaine grimaced at the way the story was killing his devil-may-care reputation.
"This," Percival said, "is a terrible misinterpretation of the facts. You, sir, are no gentleman!"
Gwaine just grinned and threw the book in the fire, grabbing his flask of ale. "Yep, I'll drink to that, my friends!"
And so he did.
A/N: Like I said, short, sweet, and silly. But be on the lookout for my Merlin version of Sir Gwaine and the Green Knight, coming to a computer near you! XP Please review! ;)
