Hee! This is a lot of fun. And I love the way Arthur goes from complaining about Merlin letting him walk around naked to being all smug.

[oxoniensis]

Thanks!

I strongly suspect Arthur has no small ego when it comes to himself and his 'assets'!

[yavannauk]

Heh. I have a feeling you may be right. Then again, I also think his ego may be justified! ;-)

[oxoniensis]

Thank you - I'm glad the mix worked for you!

Loved that Arthur and Uther were too damn foolish about magic to know when they were being fooled. LOL on Merlin trying not to look. But the best part was the last section with Merlin telling him that he'd laid out clothes! Go Merlin.

Great job. Very cute.

[oxoniensis]

Thank you!

Uther, of course, would have been horrified when he couldn't see the clothes himself, but far too stubborn to admit it! *g*

Hee, I liked this a lot! Arthur's behaviour at the end is hilarious - apparently the boy has no shame ;-)

[oxoniensis]

Thank you! And no, definitely no shame! *g*

But it is so much better if you do know Leverage *cackles with glee*

This is so a scam the team would go for if they'd lived back then *gg*
But tied into Merlin this is great crack! Although I can actually see Uther and Arthur falling for this...

Loved poor Merlin trying to flee from naked stalker!Arthur *hehe*

[oxoniensis]

Yay, glad it worked for Leverage fans too!

I really wanted to bring the Leverage team into it more, but somehow the story unfolded this way. I didn't even get to write the scene where they're riding into Camelot on a cart, Nate and Sophie in the front, and the other three squabbling in the back. *g*

[liz_mo]

Pity. Well, then you're just going to have to write another one!

[oxoniensis]

I have debated writing it from the Leverage team's point of view, but I am lazy, and I've told the story once, so I suspect I won't actually do it! Anyone else is welcome to though!
