ermingarden: medieval image of a bird with a tonsured human head and monastic hood (monk bird)

I picked up a pinch hit in this round of [community profile] seasonsofdrabbles:

classical reception (700 words)
Fandom: Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Arthur/Bedevere (Monty Python and the Holy Grail)
Characters: King Arthur (Monty Python and the Holy Grail), Bedevere (Monty Python and the Holy Grail)
Additional Tags: Drabble Sequence, Classical Reception in the Middle Ages, Blow Jobs
Summary:
Help, help, Arthur's being repressed!
(Sexually.)

Did I ever expect to write fic for Holy Grail? Not really. Did I expect the first smutty fic I ever wrote to be for Holy Grail? Not in a million years! Still, I'm glad I decided to take a risk and pick up the PH, and I'm satisfied with how the fic turned out. It's been a long time since I've done any sort of fixed-length format, so I enjoyed getting back into drabbles!

Major thanks to [personal profile] fiona15351 for the beta!

I also want to rec a couple of very good fics from the collection:

Thank you!

Not consciously, but now that you mention it I'm sure it was an influence! I loved that book. (Bringing out my Leckie icon for the occasion.)

That came as a real surprise in more than one way, that Monty Python fic, but it was all very well done!

I feel like so much of fanfiction ends up being about the fics you didn't think you were going to write--especially for exchanges. Kudos to you for taking on a pinch hit, and I can tell you had a lot of fun with it!
