Comments
"Oh, wow, this is complete sensory overload. It's like I can feel the heat and the sheets caught between my toes and everything just a little too bright. I'm amazed at how you take this simple story with just brief bouts of action and turn it into something so complexly layered and gorgeous. I am seriously in awe of your writing talent right now." (lilithilien)[3]
MSA winner in the Best Crack category although the only cracky thing here is the title.
"What I really liked about this piece though was the pace of it. It feels like summer heat - languid yet restless, quiet, the desires simmering under consciousness. And how Arthur's body yearns for Merlin even before his mind really catches on - the whole work feels like a slow unfurling, and it is really really lovely." (epictimesthree)[4]
It's so so so perfect and hilarious and oh boys...so fully of little most endearing details like Merlin slamming the firepoker into the bedpost to wake Arthur up and Arthur going to the laundry to figure out what the hell is that scent that makes him go insane. (mossylawn)[5]
"This story is amazing in every single way. Your slow build and the gradual use of smell just completely blew me away. But seriously, the title is horrible! I almost didn't read it because the title was so off-putting! I mean, I'm glad I did. I totally tagged this as a favourite because it's that awesome." (mklutz)[6]
