As Soon As I Am Able by allothi; PG-13
Fandom: MERLIN
Pairing: Morgana/Gwen with background Arthur/Merlin
Length: 12,000

Why this must be read: Um, this must be read because it's an AU where Morgana and Arthur are superheroes and Gwen and Merlin are their butlers with aspirations of their own. It's laugh-out-loud funny and puts the "crack" in crack_van, but also manages to have poignantly drawn relationships and characterizations at the same time. Even if femmeslash isn't really your thing, you must give this fic a try. The humor and Pendragon-sibling dynamics alone are totally worth it.
The sword makes Arthur-the-insufferable insanely jealous. This is because not only is Arthur an insufferable twonk whom far too many people believe is heart-stoppingly gorgeous; Arthur is also Le Fay's self-loving, mediawhoring, horrible-quipping, far-too-full-of-it pratbastard of a superhero rival, Pendragon.
(They found out each other's secret identities thanks to a mix-up at the dry cleaners. That was the moment Morgana realised that their rivalry would be, like love in a pop song or the emptiness in Arthur's skull, eternal.)
