But It's a Good Refrain by lady_ragnell (PG-13)

So comes the end of my month of reccing in this fandom (& Doctor Who & Haven). I hope you’ve enjoyed at least a few of my picks this month. I am not leaving altogether- I’ve jumped vans to rec in another fandom next month. So this isn’t really a ‘So long, it’s been nice’ as it is a ‘maybe I’ll see you around’. Or drop me a note if you want to see my bookmark collection/chat about fic/ just talk! :)

Why this must be read:
Arthur doesn't care much about the popular radio program Dragon's Lonely Hearts until his ex-girlfriend calls in to slag him off and get advice. When he calls in and has an on-air argument with the host, it starts off more than he expected, including meddling friends, overinvolved fans, and maybe love.

Arthur has a strong of failed short relationships behind him. Merlin apparently has some terrible exes and is the host of a dating advice radio show. Arthur and Merlin fall in love via email, text messages, friends, and shared forum posts before they actually meet in person. Possibly even before Arthur actually learns Merlin's name.
It's all very cute and sweet and a fun way to see a relationship develop between two people with their collection of relationship issues.
