Summary: Merlin accidentally makes everybody in Camelot fall in love with him. Everybody except Arthur, that is.

Review:
I love this story to pieces, from the plot (massive Merlin lovefest!) to Merlin's bumbling to this paragraph:
This, [Arthur] remembered, was why he hated being honest with himself about Merlin. All it got him was an inordinate amount of gooey and inappropriate feelings that he had no idea what to do with, and a bad spot of indigestion besides. It was all extremely untoward. Arthur frowned very hard at his feelings, but they remained oblivious and stupidly in love.

But what I love best is Arthur's narration. It's grumpy and a little entitled, but he is still obviously and stupidly in love with his manservant (who seems to be the only one in Camelot who hasn't cottoned on to the fact, to his chagrin relief.) Watching Arthur try to protect Merlin from the lovestruck hordes, while futilely trying not reveal to Merlin that he is hopelessly in love with him, is entertaining and sweet.
