Merlin Big Bang Rec

[marguerite_26]

Champagne from a paper cup (is never quite the same) by anna_zee [NC-17] (38k) Arthur/Merlin
Summary: Modern AU with magic. Arthur is a professional footballer on the verge of making history. Merlin is a medical student with special powers who's just been hired to work for Arthur's club. You know the rest.

Fantastic fic. So much fun. I love football star!Arthur so much, and I've always wanted to read a Merlin as football team medic fic and this is just... everything... absolutely everything I wanted. A bit of magic and massages and prat!Arthur being a prat and yet not able to keep his eyes off Merlin. I devoured it in record time because I just couldn't put it down. Brilliant stuff.

Hee! We've been loving all the same fics (though I think I'm a bit behind you now due to eyestrain *g*). I devoured this one in record time too and couldn't stop reading even though I should have been doing something else!

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

We certainly have! Do let me know if I miss one that you really liked. ;)

I took a break from reading yesterday as I really thought my eyes were going to give out!

Have you read Masked by pathera? It's a superhero AU with excellent world-building and terrific use of the characters. My biggest criticism of it was that it was too short as I really wanted to spend more time in that world, though she is promising a sequel.

This one sounds right up my alley, but I am in the midst of three of your recs already! Oh, why did I have a vacation when these all started posting?
