Finally... Effie, my wonderful wonderful friend and beta. Thank you for cheering me on.
Summary:
“You’re insane,” Merlin hissed under his breath. He grabbed Gwaine’s hand and intertwined their fingers. “Totally, completely, utterly insane. This won’t work.”
He used his free hand to straighten his tie before they entered the reception at the fancy hotel bar, where he knew he’d find every single person he worked with.
“Of course it’ll work. Now laugh as if I’ve said something funny,” Gwaine said through his teeth, a fake smile plastered on his face.
OR: Merlin's friends get sick of his never-ending pining over his coworker Arthur and come up with a brilliant plan: Merlin will pretend he's dating his best friend, Gwaine. That way Arthur will realise he's in love with Merlin, too and they'll live happily ever after.
There's no way this could go wrong... right?
