Trope Meme: Forced to Share a Bed

[torakowalski]

harborshore asked for girl!Merlin/Arthur, forced to share a bed in the trope meme (which still has a couple of spaces left...) and then, because I've been talking about how much I want to write an AU set in a British uni and because she's the best, she said I should make it a uni AU.

It's going to come as no surprise to anyone, particularly not harborshore, that this

Awww, this is adorable! I am a sucker for college AUs set in the UK. When I saw 'Freshers' Week' on my flist I jumped. But this was adorable in its own right, I mean.

Thank you! If I had any excuse to, I'd write a million words of UK university AUs.

Oh my goodness, a million UK university AUs sound AWESOME. I keep trying to shoehorn all my past fandoms into them, and mourning that their time is past - they're all Muggles and are in the same university (Harry Potter)! they're not time-travellers and are in university (Doctor Who)! Z moved to England instead of Tennessee moving to LA (The Like rpf)! they're in the same international student society at a university in the UK (figure skating RPF)! they're exchange students at a British university (Emma Stone and Jesse Eisenberg) and meet new friends (Andrew Garfield and Carey Mulligan)! etc. Just think of the reams of fic you could write about freshers' week - I mean, obviously you have, but.

Yesss to all over those! Especially the Doctor Who and the TSN-RPS ideas! The Doctor would be the WEIRDEST fresher in the history of ever. And Jesse could go to Oxford or Cambridge of Durham and be DELIGHTED by all the history and then even more delighted by Andrew.

*claps hands* Oh, this is the CUTEST. They're so my favorites, and Arthur attempting to be a human being will never not be adorable. And Merlin, oh man, I can see her--you're so awesome at that, at getting at a character the way they'd be if they were a girl. Wonderful, dear.

Yay, I'm glad you liked it :) (Poor Arthur, I always seem to write him as trying, but largely failing, to communicate like a human.) This was an AWESOME prompt!

This fic? Awesome (and that's from someone who doesn't watch Merlin).

Thank you! :)
