Insta-rec! (Merlin)

[corilannam]

I don't usually do many recs, simply because I'm usually weeks behind on my reading and everyone's already beaten me to the squee. But in this case, I've been involved with this story for YEARS -- and now it's finally done and posted for paperlegends and I can share it with all of you!

Champagne from a paper cup by anna_zee (Merlin/Arthur, Gwaine/Elena, NC-17, 38,000 words)

This is a classic modern AU of the best sort. Merlin, a young medical student with secret magical abilities, goes to intern at the Camelot United Football Club, where he meets flirtatiousnoble Gwaine, hardass Uther, loyal Morgana -- and Arthur, the star striker with a heart of gold (if you can get to it).

It's hot, funny, angsty, and sweet. Why, Cori, you sound biased (I hear you saying). Yes, I am. For good reason.

Go. Read it. It will bring you happiness.

I'm okay with biased recs. ;) When you've been involved with a story for so long, you have every reason to love it.

Summary looks fabulous. *pops it to top of must read list*

I suppose every rec is biased, really, one way or another! Glad you're going to give this one a try -- let me know what you think!
