In Which They Own A Bakery In France

UM. THIS IS IN NO WAY A RESULT OF MY ILL-FATED ATTEMPTS AT BAKING TWO WEEKS AGO. Also, erm, there is…surprisingly less kissing in this than I'd intended. I GOT HUNG UP ON THE FOOD. AND THE HAT.

----

There is an explosion of crashing bakeware from the kitchen, and Arthur pinches the bridge of his nose in a groan. He strides across the front of the bakery, past the chocolate éclairs and crème puffs, past the petite fours and rows upon rows of small tarts made from every fruit imaginable. He pauses near the only customers in the shop, a mother and young daughter eying the mint delice. He smiles, says, "Pardonez moi," with perfect pronunciation and inflection, then slams open the stainless steel doors to the back of the shop and bellows, "MERLIN!"

The kitchen looks like someone set off a nuclear bomb made of flour. There are small blobs of batter and drippy icing clinging to every available surface, no doubt flung about because Merlin has yet to master the art of keeping the electric mixer in the

The taste of chocolate and raspberry melts on Arthur's tongue, like ganache drizzled over his taste buds. Arthur chews, swallows. He makes a thoughtful noise and licks his lips. "Hmm. Been experimenting again?"

The corner of Merlin's mouth quirks up, but his gaze is still locked on Arthur's lips. "Well, I know how you love raspberry," Merlin says. "You like it?"

Merlin's grin is soft and a little hopeful, and Arthur can't help but feel a gentle smile spread across his own features. "Stop fishing for compliments, Merlin," Arthur chides, brushing his thumb across a stripe of flour on Merlin's cheek. "You know it's bloody brilliant."

Merlin's grin widens then, beaming and bright in the way that Arthur likes to think is especially reserved for him. And alright, so they had technically agreed not to bring their relationship to work, because they tend to get a bit carried away and there was that one time Merlin burned about three dozen tarts and nearly set the entire bloody kitchen on fire (and Arthur was in no way to blame for that, no

Aww! This is deliciously and hilariously them! I love this line - tasting chocolate and vanilla and the dry graininess of raw flour - because when I cook I taste all my ingredients, even the ones that really shouldn't be tasted, like flour. I can imagine Merlin doing that.

I'm hungry for some tarts right about now. Loved the description of the kitchen and their little argument about who is actually more important to the bakery. Great job. Loved it.

Oh my God, the baking! The baking kink! Arthur speaking French! It's all so brilliant!

Yes, so, as I come down from the highs of exclamation marks... I love the idea of a baking!AU, especially since you took the time to do it with the Pendragons as culinary royalty (Uther as Gordon Ramsay or Keith Lloyd #snorts#) and Merlin as the scatter-brained but brilliant (I gathered) chef. And you kept it up rather than just using it as the set-up, which I liked a lot. And, er... thekisswasinsanelyhot. And other important well-considered comments.

Haha, yummy sweet kisses!!!! Love that Merlin makes an unholy mess of his kitchen but turns out perfection and honestly, how could Arthur resist? It's all that smear of chocolate's fault! Mmmmm!!!

Oh, this is gorgeous, they are so beautiful and gentle with each other - but now I'm SO hungry!

Bit like Arthur, really.

I can feel a baking frenzy coming on. :D

Oh lordy, the hat! Someone really needs to make an icon of Colin wearing that hat :-D

This feels so wonderfully fleshed-out for something so short! And it's totally hot and delicious. :D

Arg! You beat me to the baking!AU! I'm 70% through a multi-chapter AU with Merlin as a pastry chef, thinking "Heh. I'm so original, non one's done this yet!" And then I was all NOOOO! Someone beat me to it! But then I didn't really care, because this was so cute and wonderful. :) Loved the image of the kitchen war-zone - that was great! Nice work!

This is absolute love. :) Aw Merlin - of course he can't stand the silly hats Arthur makes him wear, lol!

This was such a fun read. Loved their interaction and banter. :-)
