Title: Maybe You Could Be Mine
Recipient: [livejournal.com profile] merthurallure
Rating: E / NC-17
Pairings: Merlin/Arthur
Word Count: 11k
Content Notes/Warnings: Homophobic language, stereotypical 80s bullies, underage drinking
Summary: Merlin is busy with school, work, and a mom who wants him to go to prom. He doesn't have time for dating any of the rich kids at school, but he hadn't considered that Arthur Pendragon isn't quite what he expected. The differences between them threaten to keep them apart, but maybe they can find a way.
Or the Pretty in Pink AU where everyone is queer

Author's Notes:

Dear MerthurAllure/Kirbymatsu) <3
I was so excited to write something for you! I ended up running with your 80s prompt and have done a Merlin/Arthur version of Pretty in Pink. I've had the best time jamming to 80s songs while writing this and I hope you enjoy it. Hope you have had a good holiday period if you celebrate and I wish you a happy new year!

Thank you to my trusty beta and sounding board (you know who you are!), and to the mods and the community!
I hope everyone puts on an 80s playlist and has a good time <3

CONTENT WARNING: This is complete with 80s bullies and one of these bullies uses a homophobic slur. Most characters are in high school, but are over 18.

Title from Kiss by Prince!
