Summary: Crumble fic under running water, and be sure to suspend disbelief before bathing. An epic tale of awkwardness, daft boys, and love as expressed through bathing products (yes, you read that right. Bathing products). With bonus arts.

Awkwardness FTW!!! I adore this tiny moment in time that is all about Arthur being clueless and embarrassed discovering this side of Merlin.

A fabulous lengthy Merlin/Gwaine. I love how the author played ‘the Arthur factor’ here. He has this stilted, awkward, very platonic relationship with Merlin that neither Merlin or Gwaine ignore the importance of. And yet, they can see the bit of happiness that they can bring each other in the situation they are given without it being All. About. Arthur. Well done.

Adorable and mildly ridiculous in only the best way. Bath products and awkward boys being so obvious in their flirting made for such a fun read. Well, that and the unbelievably hot sex.

A lovely read. Possibly a bit fluffy for my usual tastes but the steamy sex and Merlin’s love of his bird of prey made up for any lack of conflict. ♥ and how could I not love reading this with The Falcon sitting on my mantel.
