looking for some rather specific beta-ing...
Hello, friends... I am in need of some rather specific beta input for my paperlegends big bang fic - and strangely enough (not!) haven't had much luck finding it yet. :-D
I'm running with a modern AU Merlin/Gaius - which I know isn't to everyone's tastes.
I have a really great 'general' beta already in asifidletyou, but part of this fic is set in a care home. Gaius is a (temporary) resident there, not because he's old per se, but because he's broken his leg, and lives alone, and just can't cope on his own in a cast. Merlin meets him while working there as an orderly between academic years.
My Mum used to work in a care home as a rehab assistant, and I used to volunteer during the holidays, but I think it would be best if I got someone to cast an expert eye over what I'm doing... And tell me that, yes, it's entirely inappropriate for Merlin to flirt with Gaius under such circumstances. :-)
How's that for a specific need...? Someone who knows about care homes and/or nursing, who won't be squicked out by the pairing, and who'll forgive Merlin for just going with the flow and making his intentions known when really he should behave better....
Can anyone out there help? I thought I'd put this request out there early, because it might take me a while to find someone! :-D
