I posted yesterday (under f-lock cause it had RL deets) about a Merlin AU set in the lingerie industry, which is where I work. And it sounds like a PERFECT MARRIAGE--Arthur/Merlin amidst bras and thongs and dirty jokes for pay--but I figured out why the plot bunny won't bite!
While I love crack like any good crack addict fangirl, I'm also a sucker for UST and first time fic. And no matter how hard I try, I absolutely can't figure out a situation where being gay would be the cause of any sort of angst in the fashion industry :P There's more angst-potential in a het story. TRUST ME, I LIVE IT.
*watches the plot bunny die*
UNLESS. Anyone have a good idea for how to bring in some good old-fashioned "HOMG I'M GAY NO ONE CAN KNOWWW" UST into an industry and city that just don't care?
I'M SO JEALOUS OF PEOPLE WITH HOMOPHOBIC WORK ENVIRONMENTS RIGHT NOW
