Stop Watching (51831 words) by loaded_march

I really enjoyed Stop Watching too. I especially liked how their relationship seemed very "suitable" in the sense that their age difference didn't matter - Merlin's maturity and confidence made him Arthur's equal.

I love age difference as a trope when done right, but it's a tricky one to handle, it here it was done beautifully. ♥

Age difference fics always give me pause, particularly when they're depicting a student/teacher relationship. It makes me rather uncomfortable and is almost a squick, as I don't like the very real imbalance of power. However, I thought Stop Watching was nicely done and the writing very professional. Made me want to keep reading.

I LOVE ALL THESE HIGH SCHOOL FICS! \O/

Stop Watching is absolutely amazing, hands down. ♥

I wonder why you don't say anything about the other one though... It was quite excellent, you know. The sex scene in particular was something else. ;)

I haven't read Gamut yet, that's why. But if there's amazing sex in it... ;)

LOL. I guess I should rearrange my reccing priorities then when commenting on a fic. Start with the most important thing. ;)
