An Attractive Proposal by Demi Human 123.
- Recommended by Wolf Of Blades.
- Status: Complete.
- Synopsis: A visit to Bright Harbor doesn't go as planned for Angus and Gregg. Probably because they didn't plan it. Suddenly, they're swept along on a bizarre trial that tests their relationship, as Germ begins to ask odd questions and gets too comfortable around the both of them. Or is there something else going on? Angus/Gregg plus Germ.
- Pairing: Gregg/Angus/Germ Warfare (Jeremy Warton).
- Comments: A surprisingly charming and somewhat NSFW (but thankfully not too NSFW) fanfic. It also gives a surprisingly Adorkable point of view on Germ and how he sees, interacts, and reacts to things. And despite it being Gregg/Angus/Germ story (which would understandably alienate a few people) but it somehow does it so (and admittedly kinda adorably) well that you can't help but actually feel like shipping it.
