You Say Tomato and I Say Tomahto is a short Merlin/Arthur story by aeroport_art (2,110 words). Summary: Arthur and Merlin have their own interpretations of what the hell happened That Night. They're both wrong and kind of deluded. But they still get lucky, so who's counting?

This is hilarious miscommunication!fic where Arthur thinks he has slept with Merlin and Merlin thinks Arthur is onto his magic and they end up in bed without figuring out that they are both wrong. SolarCat wrote a sequel where Arthur actually finds out about Merlin's magic and Merlin is still oblivious to him not knowing all along.

Let's Call the Whole Thing Off is the sequel by SolarCat (864 words). Summary: In retrospect, Merlin's ridiculous concerns about being executed make a lot more sense.

helva2260 podficced the stories and made podfic covers and an audibook album including both parts.[1] The first story is 18:33 min long and the second one 8:53 min.

Each story is introduced by an excerpt from the song the fanfiction is named after.
