Merlin One-Shots

Wrong Spells and Females

Gwaine woke up to a ton of Knights staring at him. He was used to Percival staring at him, they were together after all, but the whole group, he wasn't used to.

"Guys, what's wrong?"

The voice that came out was not his. Not even close. It was a woman's voice, someone who sounded young and beautiful. Shocked, Gwaine felt his face, and felt smoothness where his beard usually was.

"Someone get me a mirror!" He shrieked, panicking a little.

Leon handed him a mirror, a blush forming on his cheeks. Gwaine took one look in the mirror and screamed. He looked like he could be his sister wearing oversized knight clothes.

W-what happened to me? Gwaine thought wildly, looking down at himself.

"What's your name?" Elyan suddenly asked, moving a little closer to him.

"Are you single?" Lancelot spoke up.

"Who are you and what happened to Gwaine?" Percival asked, not caring that he was facing a beautiful girl.

"Percy! It's me! Gwaine!" Gwaine said, hoping that his boyfriend would see him through this disaster.

The other knights laughed, but Percival looked wide eyed at him.

"Gwaine?" He asked, walking towards him. "What happened to you?"

"I don't know, mate," Gwaine sighed. "I don't know."

"Oi!" Leon suddenly said. "Don't hog her all to yourself, Percival!"

"Yeah, she probably wants to be with me!" Elyan broke in.

"No! You guys don't understand! I'm-"

Percival cut Gwaine off with a look, before pushing him around the rest of the knights and out the door.

"Go find Merlin!" Percival yelled after Gwaine, as he tried to keep the other knights from running after him.

Gwaine gave his boyfriend a thankful smile before taking off down the hallways.

***

Gwaine ignored the looks he got from passing servants. Some were shocked that a woman was running by, barefoot and in clothing too big for her. Others tried to stop him and flirt with him, but he just pushed them away. Finally, he made his way out of the castle and ran towards Merlin and Freya's home. Arriving, he banged on the door until Freya opened it.

"Freya, thank God!" Gwaine sighed with relief.

"Who are you?" Freya asked, looking Gwaine up and down. "And how do you know who I am?"

"I'm Gwaine!" Gwaine explained. "I woke up this morning like this and I was hoping that maybe Merlin could help me out with this disaster."

"Prove to me that you are Gwaine," Freya said, still a little doubtful.

Gwaine then went on to explain everything he knew until Freya smiled at him.

"You do look good for a woman, Gwaine," she stated, letting him in.

"Yeah, but Percy doesn't like it," Gwaine chuckled a little. "Where's Merlin?"

"He's trying out a new spell," Freya replied, leading Gwaine to the middle room. "I guess it didn't go well."

"Freya, can you get-"

Merlin's words died on his lips when he saw Gwaine. He then broke into a huge grin and began laughing.

"And I thought that my spell completely failed!" Merlin laughed.

"Can you get rid of this?" Gwaine asked a little impatiently.

"Of course, of course," Merlin replied, calming down. "I just need the right ingredients. They'll be by the Lake of Avalon." He looked Gwaine up and down before a thought crossed his mind. "We'll need to disguise you first, Gwaine."

"Whatever makes this nightmare end," Gwaine muttered.

***

"How do women walk in these?" Gwaine asked, sighing.

He and Merlin were walking by the lake, gathering the necessary ingredients to get him back to normal. Merlin and Freya had disguised Gwaine in a maid's dress and a cloak that covered his face. He was having trouble walking in the dress, and Merlin just laughed at his struggling. Finally, after what felt like forever, they made their way back to Merlin's house with all of the right ingredients. Merlin and Freya immediately set to work with the spell, and soon Gwaine was back to himself.

"Oh thank God!" Gwaine sighed, relieved. "I'm so happy to be back to my normal self!" He then turned to Merlin and pointed a finger at him threateningly. "Please, do not ever do something like that ever again!"

"No promises!' Merlin chuckled to himself. 

Gwaine couldn't bring himself to scoff and just grinned at his friend. Nodding to the two of them, he left in order to find Percival.

***

Percival was walking down the hallway lost in thought, when he suddenly felt arms around his waist.

"Guess who?"

Percival grinned as he turned his head to see a familiar face grinning up at him.

"Well hello there, Gwaine," he greeted his boyfriend. "Thank God you're back to normal."

"What?" Gwaine asked, faking being offended. "You didn't like me as a woman?"

"No, I like you like this," Percival replied, the grin never leaving his face. "Promise me that this will never happen again?"

"Maybe it should happen again, just to make sure that you like me just the way I am," Gwaine teased, grinning wide at Percival.

Percival laughed, whirled around, picked up Gwaine and threw him over his shoulder. He laughed as Gwaine struggled and laughed as well.

"Percy! Put me down!" Gwaine laughed, beating Percival's back with his fists unaffectedly.

"Not until you promise me that this will never happen again!" Percival replied, smirking.

"Okay, I promise! I promise!" Gwaine laughed. "Just put me down!"

Percival chuckled as he set Gwaine down, and folded his arms.

"Good," he replied, kissing Gwaine on the nose. "Well, I can't wait to tell the other knights what happened to you."

Gwaine's face turned beet red as Percival took off running towards the knights' chambers.

"Percy! Don't you dare!" Gwaine yelled as he ran after him. "I'll make sure that I won't talk to you for a week!"

"Try and stop me little man!"

"You're dead meat, Percy!"

"Love you too, Gwaine!"
