Wow. If you like courtroom drama, this is the story for you! The author clearly has a pretty firm grasp of the practice of law and that knowledge really shines through, granting the story quite a lot of depth. The emotions in this story also come through it's one heck of a ride!

This story is so much fun! It was probably one of the very first stories I read that portrayed Arthur as a virgin in a serious and believable way. The politics are intriguing and sad at the same time and both boys are just so lovable that it's hard not to smile.

This is angsty, tragic, and positively delightful. When unrequited love becomes too much for Merlin, he takes up with a stable boy, who wants anything Merlin is willing to give him. The boy's willing body and undemanding affection is pretty much the only thing keeping Merlin from falling completely apart and Arthur grows colder and more and more distant from him. The hurt Arthur and Merlin are both feeling is poignant—and the resolution delightfully unexpected.

Let it be known that I'm really, truly, and sincerely enjoying the stories being produced in the tobreakthespell fairy tale fest and this story is one of the exemplary reasons why. I really enjoy how Camelot is familiar, but changed and how easily the humour mixed with the romance to the point where we as the readers can easily divine Arthur's problem with the situation while Merlin remains a clueless idiot. Ah, boys! Is saying what you feel really so hard?

Neither Fish nor Fowl by Adelagia
Merlin (BBC)
This work isn't hosted on the Archive so this blurb might not be complete or accurate.
Summary
Trusses of flowers, personalised letters and whole roast chicken had always been sure-fire ways to win a person's heart, at least in Arthur's experience. Merlin's heart, however, was an entirely different story.

I love a good romance (in case you hadn't guessed) and this is certainly that! When Arthur and Gwen marry, they are already well aware of the fact that they don't love one another. They do it for companionship and because they have little hope of having their real love interests return their feelings. But maybe this isn't as true as they believed. And maybe it's never too late for love.
