Summary: Modern-day London!AU. Fenris has been set up on a blind date by his friend, Bethany Hawke, with her older brother Garrett. Fenris reluctantly agrees to the date, not expecting anything to come of it… but soon realises how wrong he was.

By request, a re-telling of ‘Bright Lights, Big City, Blind Date’ from Fenris’s point of view. (Several months late -- sorry about that.)

6 P.M. Fenris frowned at the digital clock at the front of the black taxi he was in; he would be running late for this blind date, thanks to London’s rush-hour traffic. The taxi driver seemed pleasant enough; the congestion on the roads, however, was definitely not. Why hadn’t he left earlier? Why had he left this so late?

The Shard loomed before them like a glass pyramid that had been stretched beyond its limits, rising so much higher than all the other buildings around it to stab the sky with its topmost point, large enough to look so tantalisingly close while still being so frustratingly far away. The lights behind some of its glass panels were starting to flicker on as dusk fell over the city, the same way the streetlamps were being lazily roused into life by the coming night. Fenris glared at the skyscraper, as if it was the source of all his trouble, and turned his attention back to the cab driver.

‘Is there an alternative route we can take?’

The cab driver met Fenris’s eye in the rear-view mirror before he replied in a chirpy Cockney accent. ‘Coupla yards down the road, mate, and I can turn off an’ try some of the side streets? Might cost you a bit extra, but no more than a fiver.’

Fenris nodded his assent. ‘That’ll do.’

Curse this… this blind date that Bethany had set him up on. Bethany was fast becoming a very good friend of his, something Fenris was grateful for in this vast, bustling yet sometimes lonely city, and it was proving impossible to say no to her on many things. Including when she’d offered to set Fenris up on a blind date with her brother.

‘I am not interested in Carver,’ Fenris had told her flatly.

‘No no no, not Carver, silly,’ Bethany had chided him. ‘My older brother Garrett. You haven’t met him, but I think you’ll get on, if nothing else. Here, here’s a picture…’ 

The man Bethany showed him, Fenris had to admit, was handsome. Very handsome.
