Pulling on a Line by La_Temperanza (NC-17)

Fandom: MERLIN
Pairing: Arthur/Merlin
Wordcount: 10404
Summary: Grieving his father's recent death, Arthur escapes to a cabin in the wilderness for two weeks of solitude and ice fishing. He finds Merlin instead.
Why this must be read: Age difference (Arthur's 37 to Merlin's 22). An emotionally hurting Arthur, which appeals to me a lot. Everyone is very much in character. Merlin is out of the closet, but Arthur is not, and his inability to come out is wrapped realistically in his recent grief. This is a great read and really quite touching. Enjoy!

Thanks for the rec. There was a lot of emotional depth to this lovely story and I really liked the author's characterizations of Arthur and Merlin.
