Fandom: BBC Merlin (though it's a modern AU, I guess you could think of other faces)
Rating: R to NC-17
Word count: 331,461 Not even kidding, folks. AND EVERY WORD WAS AWESOME.
Warnings: Modern AU, Military, BANTER! First meetings, a smidge of homophobia
Author Summary (part 1): The reason SAS Captain Arthur Pendragon can't keep a communications specialist in Team Excalibur is because none of them are good enough. And then Lieutenant Merlin Emrys gets assigned to his squad, and Arthur does everything he can to prove that Merlin isn't good enough, either. Except he is.
MY AWED SUMMARY: Read this. Read it now. Yes, yes, yes, it's in seven parts -- and four behind-the-scene snippets -- but this entire story is made of win. Don't let the word count scare you!! Each part can be read as a stand-alone, though you should probably read them in order to get the full "oomph" effect. The dialogue and banter are brilliant and the characters -- all of them! -- make me squirm on my seat with joy. There are plots that evolve and shift like you're watching a chess game played by masters. I stayed up till five in the freakin' morning just devouring the whole thing, my brain was so in love.
Just. Just do it, okay? I swear, it's good. And you know I don't swear much, okay??
