Rating: NC-17 overall
Word Count: ~38,000
Spoilers/Warnings: None
Summary: Modern AU with magic. Arthur is a professional footballer on the verge of making history. Merlin is a medical student with special powers who's just been hired to work for Arthur's club. You know the rest.
Notes: This story has been making me crazy for almost two years, so I hope everyone enjoys it. Some housekeeping: It takes place in the fictional land of Albion. I love to watch footie, and I have several friends who are doctors (in the States), but I am not an expert in either field. If I've made any mistakes, I apologize. Title is from a Death Cab for Cutie song.
Notes Part 2:Thanks to corilannam, who is just AWWWWESOME and pretty much the best beta and pal a girl could ask for. Also, SO MANY thanks to hanelissar who was such a trooper in britpicking this for me, even while she was on holiday. And of course, thanks to the_muppet for putting this together so that we can all have so much awesome fic to read. Any remaining mistakes are my own.
