Recs and Reviews
"I so love the idea that Arthur chose Merlin over every other man in Camelot. 3 times! Not only for the ceremony but to ask Merlin to be his consort. I so loved it! I must admit I was ever so slightly worried about the 3 day orgy part but your reassurance of Merlin/Arthur goodness made me more confident to read. And what a treat this was!!"[2]
"With this kind of summary, one expects something ultimately filthy (in a good way), and discovering a shimmering, tender romance underneath the cover was delicious."[3]
"Canonverse; Arthur’s coming of age ceremony is a three day trip into the woods with a bunch of men. When Merlin came along, he didn’t have any idea that he was walking into far more nudity and sex than he had ever experienced. Perfect fic is perfect. There’s the Meriln/Arthur banter, there’s the sex, there’s the love, there’s the happy ending, everything is beautiful."[4]
