It's Nice to Finally Tweet You is a Merlin/Arthur Modern Soulmate AU fic by Pendragons Dragonlord. It was written for a prompt on kinkme_merlin.

Summary

Merlin's eyes scan the headline.

Arthur Pendragon reveals mark in attempt to find the one.

"I pity the guy who's unfortunate enough to get him as a soul mate.”

In which Arthur is a famous celebrity, Merlin is a beloved teacher, and they break Twitter once. Well, twice. Okay so it's a whole bunch of times actually but it's not their fault. Really it's not.

Recactions and Reviews

Definitely a lovely and fun fic.[1]

Read that description and try not to explode over your excitement for this fic. Really, I dare you. It’s such a good balance of fluff, plot, and soulmarks. Also, Merlin is a schoolteacher and if that doesn’t sell you on it I have nothing else to offer.[2]

This was a really different take on soul mates and how to find your other half; people are born with marks that exactly match their soul mates. The marks are extremely private and when Arthur’s is accidentally exposed to the public, Merlin realizes that HE is Arthur’s soul mate, and the drama begins. I found the idea really interesting and it was written extremely well; including both lighthearted and slightly sad moments.[3]

First thing to remember: It’s more of a modern au. Anyone with a birthmark that matches someone else’s automatically means the two are meant to be~ That said, onward. One fun romp of a read. A sweet, fun little merthur fic with a side helping of MorganaxLeon and LancexGwen. And kiddies. And Gwaine. Also, Uther using Twitter. That merits mentioning.[4]
