Fic: Rough Skies (Arthur/Merlin)

Title: Rough Skies
Recipient: alby_mangroves
Author: anonymous
Rating:NC-17
Pairings:Arthur/Merlin
Word Count: 40,000
Content/Warnings: Minor character deaths, some violence of the action type variety.
Summary:Merlin and Arthur are pilots working for the same VIP charter airline, Druid. They're good at what they do, though, coming from vastly different backgrounds, they hate each other's guts. Or so they think until unforseen circumstances force them together.
Author's Notes: (i) This was so kindly beta'd by fleete and drarryxlover. A big thank you also goes to sinzh for the intial help shaping this up. (ii) Dear alby_mangroves, when I saw your prompts I decided I'd mash up these two: they hate each other at first glance and slowly realize the strength of their mutual dislike actually masks serious attraction and they're trapped together and have to communicate for the first time (forced together by circumstances beyond their control). I might have interpreted the latter part somewhat freely but I hope you'll like this all the same. Merry Holidays to you.

I thought the story was great, the dramatic flight being very Gimli Glider-ish!
