A Nightly Rec
It's 4am and I'm reading Arthur/Merlin Modern AUs... Why are you not surprised ?
Rivalry on Ice, followed by The Gala, followed by Winning the World Championship, by rotrude ; NC-17 (PG for The Gala) ; 5 Parts (2 - 1 - 2) ; might be something about 35k words total
A/S : Written for the following kinkme_merlin prompt : Olympic men's figure skating, they could be watching it and critiquing the fuck out of Evan Lysacek's dueling snake outfit, they could be the favored rivals on ice, what have you. I just want Arthur and Merlin and lots of glittery outfits. Arthur and Merlin are rivals. Merlin and Arthur are figure skaters. Fact is there are two rivals but just only one Olympic gold medal. Then Merlin and Arthur at the figure skating Olympic Gala. Then March 2010. Arthur is now a retired skater who has taken over Merlin's coaching. He's determined to drive Merlin to victory.
This verse is absolutely wonderful. As you can guess this is an Ice skating!AU. Rivalry on Ice is really great, bringing smile and good mood. The boys are idiotic about each other, yet competitive and interesting in their sport and this is a pleasure to read. Bonus point for THE kiss (you'll understand when you read it). The Gala is even better, even fluffier, and I was exploding with joy at the end. Winning the World Championship is my favourite one. It's a bit darker, with more angst and complicated issues, but we get( more deeply into the characters, and I really appreciate it. The first two fic are of Arthur's POV and the third of Merlin's and the change is really interesting, because I sometimes wondered about Merlin's point of view in the first parts. Oh, and Gwen is unbearably sweet, as she should always be.
