Okay, trying to compose myself to leave a coherent, thoughtful review, but my brain just keeps going "She made Mordred a TIGER! Ahhhahahahahahaah!"
*deep breath & serious face* Okay--I loved this. Like many, I was a bit O.o over "Glory Hole Rom-Com," but omg, you made it work so.flipping.well. I loved your Merlin characterization (and he has magic! Yayness!), and Will-the-laid-back-and-snarky-bestie, and the sheer wtf over a drugged-out-glory-hole-bj being *romantic,* and Arthur fastidiously kneeling on an embroidered handkerchief, and the TEA, and the fact that Arthur can make Merlin's perfectly (and the description of it as twiggy, b/c that's how I like my tea, oddly enough ^_^). I was deeply impressed by Merlin's commentary on relationships and hoping for romance in the gay community, his realistic use of condoms, and if it existed I would so go and buy his anthology. I loved how Arthur's hand trembled when he was confronted with the handkerchief and connected the dots, and how their relationship still struggled. I loved Gwen and Morgana, and how they looked after Merlin, and I loved the little epilogue and how it showed that they worked things out (plus, rimming *_*--methinks Arthur has an oral fixation ;) )
To summarize: I loved this fic. Thanks so much for sharing!
