Pairing: Gwen/Arthur
Fic Title: "Little Games"
Author: threemeows

Rating/Warning(s): PG
Genre: Romance/General/Humour
WIP?: Complete
Summary: "There are little games people play with each other, but some are quite important."

Why This Must Be Read: Really I want to reccommend the entire "I Am Become A Name" series (still in progress) because it is probably my favourite of all I have come across. Spanning several years and incorporating many characters, it focuses on Gwen and Arthur's relationship from friends to King and Queen. I chose to reccommend this particular fic because it is both light-hearted and serious; with parts which are sweet, or angsty, or dramatic. It focuses on one element of their relationship - the game Truth or Dare - and through that shows how their relationship changes over years. There is some Gwen/Lancelot in both this fic and the series, but is very much focused on Gwen/Arthur. This is a brilliantly written fic, with perfect amounts of humour, romance and drama.

Why This Must Be Read: A lovely and well written piece from Arthur's POV, that deals with his desire to be with Gwen - about waiting for her, and the conflicts in his heart. It takes you inside Arthur's head, where he is not the Crown Prince of Camelot with duties, but a man, wanting to be with the woman he loves. I love the overall tone of the piece, its angsty and romantic, but importantly there's hope.
