Review:
Following last week's super-meta fandom fic, I thought I'd rec a story where the characters are on the other side of the curtain, namely, TV! Merlin and Arthur are voice actors on the series Kilgharrah’s Adventures, which is an animated children's cartoon about Gary the dragon and his boyfriend Kestrel. It's kind of a mishmash of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic meets Avatar: the Last Airbender meets the LGBT-positive show that I'd wish I'd had in my childhood, and if wishes were horses, I'd have sold them to get this show on the air because it sounds so awesome and cute. Arthur and Merlin's Post-It romance is joyful and snarky, just how I like it, and I loved how the secondary characters really shown through in the story.
