Fic rec: days of old and days to be (Merlin)

[kalichan]

I have just read the most spectacular Merlin fic. Seriously. If you like Heyer, and you like Merlin, you must read this story IMMEDIATELY. Written for camelotsolstice, it is note perfect, it is light, bright and sparkling, it is perfectly Merlin and perfectly Heyer-ish Regency. I would never have imagined that these two voices could be combined so seamlessly and yet so accurately; it is a triumph of composition, and it warms the heart as well... I am just in awe. I cannot wait till authors are revealed so I can stalk this person shamelessly (and, um, add this fic to my Heyer-fic rec list.) It's listed as an AU, but it's actually not one, not really. And I love that about it as well.

Go and read it:

Days of old and days to be "in which Arthur is the darling of the ton, Merlin is still a terrible valet, Mordred is a radical rabble-rouser, and Gwen's in love with a Light Dragoon."

Why are you still here?
