    Summary

    Merlin hadn’t planned on eavesdropping but he had no choice.

    “—must dance! You cannot tell me not a single lady here has not caught your eye?” said Lancelot with a disbelieving expression. Arthur rolled his eyes.

    “They are all as equally vapid and vainglorious as the next,” he said coldly.

    “Speak to them, Arthur,” urged Lancelot, not put off by Arthur's demeanour. “I hope you haven’t forgotten what Leon has suggested.” Arthur looked at him, affronted and shook his head firmly. “Why, I can recommend the lovely Lady Guinevere! She is the most beautiful lady I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.” Merlin preened and promised to relay this excellent praise to Gwen. Lancelot gestured to where she was sat and Arthur turned to look.

    “Oh. She is tolerable,” conceded Arthur haughtily and Merlin doubted he was going to like the rest of his assessment. “But not handsome enough to tempt me." It took all of Merlin’s restraint not to deck that motherfucker right there and then. “You had better return to the ball and enjoy these creatures, for you are wasting your time with me."

    Or it's the Pride and Prejudice/Merlin crossover we all needed (no knowledge of P&P required!)
