Pairing: Arthur/Merlin
Length: 3600

Why this must be read: I love the little details in this story. The author provides us with a glimpse of the castle at Camelot after Arthur becomes king.

Arthur's concentration though isn't so much on having become king, he's more interested in cajoling Merlin into revealing his magic. Both Arthur and Merlin are beautifully written here with all their insecurities and fears. The light touch of porn too is well done and the background thunderstorm fits into the story just so. If you want a short and wonderfully satisfying fic, check out...

This is such a beautifully written, emotionally satisfying story. Arthur and Merlin are pitch perfect. *bookmarks it for a re-read*
