'Listen, Learn' by anon (Arthur/Merlin, 4,000 words, modern AU, R)
Written for the
kinkme_meme prompt: Arthur/Merlin, Modern AU. Uni student Arthur reads textbooks on tape for extra money. Merlin is blind.
Argh! How to rec this? It drew me in right from the start. The story hop-skip-jumps through time but it's never confusing. Incredibly sensual with so much emphasis on different types of sensory input. Confident and clever Merlin who has a thing for Arthur's voice. Fascinated and considerate Arthur who has a thing for Merlin's hands. There's so much more to their characters of course, I'm basically just flailing here. Go read!
