Summary:

Gwen's known Arthur Pendragon since she was four years old. From the moment they met the two have been at odds. If Gwen could have it her way, she never would lay eyes on him again. The trouble is Gwen's best friends with his sister Morgana and so for the last 21 years, she'd been stuck dealing with him and his arrogant, handsome face...wait did she say handsome...she meant pompous.

Over the years Arthur and Morgana have become well-established high-profile actors, whilst Gwen has been working as Morgana’s PA. Now that Morgana and Arthur are filming a movie together in Las Vegas, Gwen’s going to be seeing a lot more of him. However, she’s a grown woman so Gwen figures it’s nothing she can’t handle...right up until the moment she wakes up married to him…that had definitely not been part of the plan...

Once again, thanks to people who responded to Day Two's post. I feel bad though because I've not gone to other people's posts, but I'm always late to the posts and I get overwhelmed by the amount of comments from people there (I do have anxiety).

Anyway, here is Day Three's question for snowflake_challenge: In your own space, share a favorite piece of original canon (a TV episode, a song, a favorite interview, a book, a scene from a movie, etc) and explain why you love it so much. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

No disrespect to slash/femslash shippers, but since returning to the Merlin fandom I'm finding it hard to find other Arthur/Gwen shippers. While the show was on, we had a strong fan base, not as big as Arthur/Merlin, but a great number of people. And while it's great to interact with other Merlin fans, it would be nice to have a nice number of people who ship like I do.

Another thing that's gotten me feeling a little down is merlinreverse. I was interested when I saw the idea behind this challenge. I love using fan art to inspire fic. But sadly, (I wasn't surprised really) all the prompts are slash or femslash (which is great for people into that kind of thing), but not if you are after a different pairing. So I'm really bummed. I mean if I had known about this challenge earlier I could have made something for it, but I didn't and I'm bummed.
