Review:
This an amazing college AU that makes me wanna haul my Yankee ass over to England Scotland (lol geography!fail) because St. Andrews' sounds super-awesome. FayJay gives us wonderful, interesting characters doing wonderful, interesting things for 35 glorious chapters. I loved Arthur and Merlin's interactions, and how they made it work, even though they come from very different backgrounds, and have very different interests. Lancelot definitely stole the show, however, as the hopeless romantic, teetotaling Buddhist. His and Gwen's lovelorn pining after each other is both hilarious and tragic at times, and I loved watching the two finally confess their love to each other :)
