Rating: PG-13 (for the presence of alcohol—shock!)
Pairing: Merlin/Arthur (eventually), slight Gwen/Lancelot
Word Count: 2, 238
Disclaimer: Don’t own, won’t ever. It’s all a lie.
Summary: Merlin is a young British artist living in New York but has, of late, lost his inspiration. While he’s looking for his missing spark, he winds up challenging Arthur, wealthy son of a PR mogul, to a drinking competition and ends up winning himself a less-than-willing model.
Notes: This is the final chapter! Congrats to anyone who managed to keep track of all the parts, if anyone actually did. In case it's been lost, the title comes from Oscar Wilde: "In this world, there are only two tragedies. One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it." Also: Sophia stole the show in the eleventh hour.

Summary: Merlin is a British artist working at a coffee shop and Arthur is a high-and mighty PR mogul's son. After the former won the latter's modeling services in a drinking contest, Merlin and Arthur awkwardly and tentatively edged towards love.
Notes: Because the not-quite-an-ending was not the popular choice, I have returned with paintings, cheese, and Sophia. I don't do perfect happiness well (or at all) so this is the closest I could get.

( 'God, it's not like I would want to be the reason for breaking up something as hot as that,' Sophia said, waving a hand vaguely in their direction, 'By all means, I can wait.' )

Disclaimer: Don't own, won't ever, wish I did.
Summary: An IT Crowd AU. Shawn and Gus are the IT division of a major corporation. Abigail may have told the teensiest-tinest lie on her resume--she claimed to have "extensive knowledge of computers" when she ought to have said she "had been in the same room as a computer once or twice"--and now she's in charge of their department.
Notes: If you haven't yet seen The IT Crowd (I hear there's a US remake that should be avoided like the plague), you ought to. Also, this is my first time posting to this community so feel free to slap on the cuffs if I done wrong.

( Shawn looked at the phone. Then he looked at the pineapple smoothie in his left hand. He looked back at the ringing phone. Then he looked at the Tyrannosaurus Rex figurine in his right hand. )
