Posting really, really early since, well, I haven't gone to bed yet and I'm thinking at this point I probably should just give up on the idea.

Review:
A couple of weeks after Blair moves in with Jim, he collapses at work. Turns out he's been keeping a few things from his overly-protective Sentinel.
By now I'm sure you all know that I have a soft spot for Completely Lacking In Any Kind Of Common Sense!Blair, and here we have another example of the genre. The writing in the first part of the story (before Blair's collapse) is a bit rough, but once the hurt-comfort part of the story starts it's all good. Though Blair is basically being an idiot, I can't help but want to snuggle him and hug him and then lock him up for his own good, and I bet you'll feel the same way.

Author’s Summary: In which Prince Arthur meets Merlin and all hell breaks loose.
Review:
Pru’s summary does not really do justice as a teaser for this wonderful story. My version: Uther is still King Uther, Arthur is still Prince Arthur, and Merlin is still magical. The difference is that this takes place in London, 2008.
This is my favorite modern!AU so far – and considering how I adore it, it’s likely to stay that way. Arthur and Merlin are still very much themselves as individuals but the transplant to modern London makes a huge difference. The paparazzi are virtually a character in and of themselves, and it’s fascinating to see an Arthur who is still very tied to his duty but in an era where that duty depressingly consists of publicity appearances and security details. Merlin is a sweetheart, a bit spazzier than usual (but that fits considering he's not in immediate danger for his life by Uther's law).
Without all the dangerous magical plotlines of the show, the story focuses primarily on Arthur and Merlin’s relationship and the spotlight that Arthur lives in, and it does a tremendous job of it. The boys are incredibly sweet together without sacrificing their teasing snark. Plus, Pru with the help of various collaborators has made the story a multimedia one – don’t skip going through the embedded images and links! They’re part of the story (and feature some great impersonation of celebrity news writing; for instance, Drudge Report and Gawker Media).
Truly fantastic story (I don’t want to admit how many times I’ve reread it already).

Author’s Summary: In which Prince Arthur meets Merlin and all hell breaks loose.
Review:
Pru’s summary does not really do justice as a teaser for this wonderful story. My version: Uther is still King Uther, Arthur is still Prince Arthur, and Merlin is still magical. The difference is that this takes place in London, 2008.
This is my favorite modern!AU so far – and considering how I adore it, it’s likely to stay that way. Arthur and Merlin are still very much themselves as individuals but the transplant to modern London makes a huge difference. The paparazzi are virtually a character in and of themselves, and it’s fascinating to see an Arthur who is still very tied to his duty but in an era where that duty depressingly consists of publicity appearances and security details. Merlin is a sweetheart, a bit spazzier than usual (but that fits considering he's not in immediate danger for his life by Uther's law).
Without all the dangerous magical plotlines of the show, the story focuses primarily on Arthur and Merlin’s relationship and the spotlight that Arthur lives in, and it does a tremendous job of it. The boys are incredibly sweet together without sacrificing their teasing snark. Plus, Pru with the help of various collaborators has made the story a multimedia one – don’t skip going through the embedded images and links! They’re part of the story (and feature some great impersonation of celebrity news writing; for instance, Drudge Report and Gawker Media).
Truly fantastic story (I don’t want to admit how many times I’ve reread it already).
