Recipient: little_dhampir
Rating: NC17
Pairings: Merlin/Arthur
Word Count: 58k+
Content Notes/Warnings: Non-graphic depiction of a near drowning
Summary: Merlin resisted the entire idea of going to a tropical island for the Christmas holidays with his mum and uncle Gaius. He is determined to have a bad time to match his mood about the whole situation until a near-fatal accident throws him into Arthur's path, whose family is also holidaying there. What starts as a sexy holiday fling blossoms into a friendship — and possibly more — over the course of the next year.
Author's Notes: There were so many good ideas to choose from in your requests, little_dhampir, but this one just grabbed me and wouldn't let me go. I hope you enjoy it! Happy holidays to you and to everyone you love!!
I do need to profusely thank the people that helped make this possible. To W, who helped make sure I didn't sound too American; to L and S who were excellent cheerleaders when I was flagging; and to T, without whom this whole fic would still be an unconnected set of ideas rather than a somewhat cohesive narrative. Thank you all so very very much!
