FIC: Only Skin Deep [E] Merlin/Arthur
Title: Only Skin Deep
Recipient: YouKeepMeRight
Rating: NC-17
Pairings: Merlin/Arthur
Word Count: 7200
Content Notes/Warnings: depression, self-loathing
Summary: Merlin doesn’t think he’s very handsome. Actually, he thinks he’s pretty ugly when it is all said and done, scrawny, weak, big-eared. When King Lot comes to visit and brings a gorgeous manservant with him, Merlin can’t help comparing himself to Ethelbert. And Arthur isn’t helping any.
Author's Notes: many thanks to my ever-patient beta for whipping this into shape. She’s a star! But keep in mind, all mistakes are mine!
And thanks so much to the Merlin Holidays mods who made this fest very smooth and enjoyable!
YouKeepMeRight - There were so many great prompts that I had a hard time choosing one, but this one was closest to my heart, so I hope you enjoy what I’ve written.
