Review:
Hee-hee, this is a really sweet modern-day AU where Merlin is the proprietor of a sex shop and Arthur is a business executive who has recently come to the realization that he may, in fact, be gay. Merlin, being the erect pillar of the gay community that he is, tries very earnestly to help him, much to Arthur's embarrassment.
This a sweet, and basically inoffensive AU, with many beloved story devices, jealousy, coming out, mistaken identity and gay sex manuals with soul-shriveling, embarrassing titles. The flow of some of the scenes can be a little choppy, and the 'mistaken identity' romantic subplot seems tacked-on, though highly adorable and smish-worthy. But if your fannish marshmallow center has a quirky sense of humor, clickity-click on the link below. :)
