Dislaimer: I don't own H2G2.
Pairing: Ford and Arthur. That means slash.
A/N: I'd like to claim the pairing for Ford and Arthur at fanfic100. If I get it, these will be what I put up. They'll probably be AUish and OOC at times, but it's fun. And I've always said that any F/A is good F/A.

"Proposit…Ford! All he asked was how many ice cubes I like in my Gin ah' Tonic."
Ford bristled in remembrance," I know! Can you believe the audacity he had to-"

"But I wasn't. I'm fine, Arthur."
