oh my god, you guys! (a rec)

Pairing: Pendragon/Merlin by Anon.

In which Arthur is a BNF and Merlin is his beta.

This story gave me SUCH A GINORMOUS HAPPY. (And meta fic usually gives me a ginormous embarrassment squick!) It really is more fandom fanfiction than Merlin fanfiction, and it's beautifully done. Being a BNF! Being a NNF! How emotionally invested in fandom you are, and how it makes you feel hopelessly in love! And all the lexicon, and the mediums, and... Everything!

I think it's kind of interesting that a story that's so quintessentially about fandom stars a couple of guys, but interesting a twisty meta kind of way.

ANYWAY. Read it!

Thanks so much for sharing this.

This has to be the best Modern Day Merlin AU I've ever read. I sent it to my friend who begged me for Merlin recs recently (just introduced her to the show).
