Author's notes:
It goes without saying that fandom isn't fandom without its fans, and that without the enthusiastic encouragement, steadfast support, and shared love, there wouldn't be a place for Writers, Artists, and Readers to come home to. Thank you for being there for us! And to the moderators of ACBB, thank you for giving us a place to play.
I have tremendous chocolate-covered cherry-topped appreciation for Cookie, who did a fantastic beta and Brit-pick in a terribly short time frame -- Thank you so much! And more than anything, a million thanks to Mushroomtale, whose amazing artwork, talent, and imagination are inspirational. I couldn't do this without you!
Artist's notes:
A million thanks to Hana for being my extra set of eyes; to Polo and Hana for your infectious enthusiasm, and to Footloose for letting me be part of yet another massive and uniquely memorable verse! I know it wasn't the same as the previous years as we've all been so busy, but as ever, you guys anchor me to the fandom. Hugs to the mods, and of course to you as well, dear Reader -- we wouldn't be here without you. Stay amazing! ♥♥♥♥♥
Summary:
Merlin is a recent graduate with a double doctorate in metaphysics and physics. Arthur is a low-level paper pusher with a desk in the sub-basement of MI5. They live in a world with ridiculous laws and restrictions against anyone who might be supernatural in any way, shape, or design.
Merlin has huge debts looming over this head, a few quid left in his bank account, and no job prospects. Arthur is pushing thirty, in a dead-end job with no chances of promotion to fieldwork agent, and is thoroughly bored with his life.
One ill-advised Craigslist advert, five pushy mates, one nosy all-knowing sister, and a hacked email account later, Merlin and Arthur take the world by storm.
(Or, more precisely, they take over the world.)
