Title: What You Mean to Me (Right Now)
Author: wanderhomeagain
Pairings: Arthur/Merlin, past Merlin/Will, past Arthur/Leon, Elena/Percival, Gwen/Lance, others
Word Count: 37,000
Rating: NC-17
Summary: When Arthur Pendragon lost his leg his leg below the knee after an auto accident three years ago, he shut everyone out. Now with the help of his sister, some meddling kids friends, and a bastard of an ex-boyfriend who has the temerity to get off with someone else, Arthur begins to learn that he can let himself enjoy life in the company of others, especially the new pharmacist Gwen sent him to see. Originally based off of this kinkme_merlinprompt.
Warnings: body dysmorphia, a non-con kiss and discussion of acts of dubious consent, past minor character death, some discussion of past alcohol abuse. I have tried to handle Arthur's amputation with sensitivity, as well as the issues he struggles with regarding his body image in the aftermath.
Author's Notes: This story couldn't have been written without the following people, to whom I am ever indebted:
moonlitpines, for letting me bounce ideas around in the very beginning when I was trying to figure out for the third time what story I was doing for paperlegends;
this_is_kelly, for being the best cheerleader I could ever hope to have, and for letting me write porn while on her futon;
queenb23more, for continuing to beta for me beyond a shared fandom, and more importantly for being my friend and fandom big sister. Any remaining mistakes in this story are mine;
thesteppyone, for this beautiful banner. Again, we no longer share a fandom, but there's something about singing 'The Devil Went Down to Georgia' while drinking in an Athens hotel room that can never be denied;
giselleslashand waltzing_mice, for switching dates with me when their collaboration was ready to go and I was still tying up the loose ends;
and the_muppet, for doing a job I could never in a million years imagine attempting: modding such a great challenge in paperlegends
The title of this story comes from Rob Thomas' song 'My My My'. The characters are from BBC/Shine's Merlin. No profit is being made from this story. (If it was, there'd be a lot more episodes like 1.04, I'll tell you that much right now.)
