Paperlegends Rec #12
Here's a wonderful wonderful paperlegends gem! It's a Arthur/Merlin Modern AU!
Edit The Sad Parts, by cyus ; NC-17 ; 10 Parts ; 94k words ; Warning: see summary
A/S : It takes more than a dick to make a guy. Merlin learns this as he goes from eating pussy as a sixteen-year old girl, to fucking other guys with his own cock as a twenty-seven-year old landscaper. The journey's riddled with tears, cocks, and enough self-hate to fill the Channel; but with a little help from his friends, and some mostly-stable relationships, Merlin gets his happily-ever-after in the end.
This fic is overwhelmingly amazing. Really. It's a long story along the path of finding one's true self, through the difficult reality of transexuality, and it's very very beautiful. Even if I'm not particularly close to this thema, the things Merlin goes through are very vivid to my heart - he has a raging depression that made me cry and feel miserable. This story is beautiful and wonderful. It takes you to the core, and sometimes you have to stop reading to not be overwhelmed, but you always get back to it, because it's fascinating, and interesting, and all the characters are so so so amazing. You can feel close to all of them, even though they are all very different. There's an amazing characterization of Elyan, very relevant with his canon self if you think about it. We follow Merlin all the way, and I can't say how much we love him, and we ache and rejoy for him. I could talk about this fic for hours, but please, just go read it!
