sakura_no_miko | Archived fic rec - Lions and Pebbles and Penguins, Oh My!

Title: Lions and Pebbles and Penguins, Oh My!

Rating: PG-13

Pairing: Arthur/Merlin

Warnings: death of an animal, major character injury

Other notes: kink meme fill, alternate universe, modern day, zookeeping, alarming levels of cuteness, boys being stupid

Length: 10k

Summary: Sitting at the top of “Uther’s All Time Parenting Backfires” is Arthur’s fellow colleague and clumsy best friend - Merlin Emrys.

This is an incredibly cute, romantic comedy style fic. Well, aside from the brief lion mauling. Then again, there usually is some incredibly stupid moment towards the end of the movie that forces the lead characters to confess their love. I suppose being attacked by a lion is as good a reason as any.

I love how much detail is put into the world of the zoo, and I love the grumpy, disapproving Uther lurking in the background.

Also, I felt like I should post something warm and fluffy before posting a terribly angsty holiday fic tomorrow.

(Looking for more fic recs?)
