Title: The Alibi
Pairings: None.
Characters: Gwen, Gaius
Rating: U/PG
Word Count: 2,395
Author's note 1: This story is from the same 'verse as Line of Dance, but you don't need to have read it to understand this. You just need to know that Arthur is newly king and has promoted Merlin to the post of Chief Counsellor. He has also gone to war, forbidding Merlin from accompanying him. But since when did Merlin listen to Arthur when he gave orders like that? And with a bit of help from his friends, he didn't need to.
Warnings: None, although there are warnings on Line of Dance
Summary: Gaius and Gwen, while the army is away.
Author's note 2: My very great thanks to
sparrow2000 for being my best friend, sounding board, plot bunny wrangler and voice of calm common sense. Also, to DJ for (hopefully) catching the last few typos. If you spot any more that we all missed, feel free to let me know in comments.
