Merlin AU
It's bad enough that Arthur is going to have to get a stupid fucking stats tutor because he spends all of his lectures staring at the back of Merlin's neck and wondering what sort of noises he'd make if Arthur scraped his teeth against all that pale skin. But now, now he's supposed to tolerate Merlin showing up at his door early in the morning with snowflakes clinging to his eyelashes? Now he's supposed to spend four hours alone in a car with him, and fuck all, there is no way Arthur comes out of this without making some manner of arse out of himself.

Arthur pines after Merlin. Such adorability should be illegal.

Happy Christmas cuteness! I love a pining Arthur. He should always be pining after Merlin.

Cute and nice. Made me smile more than once. Really sweet sentiments in this one.
It ended abruptly a bit to me, but I think that's because as I was scrolling down my screen and reading this, I thought there was a lot more to it, but I forgot with online reads that often times there is a large comment section at the end, so I thought there was more to the story's length, but actually it was just reader's comments.
But very cute and sweet! Well done. Especially loved a few of the lines, they were so perfect in showing Arthur's boyish excitement about Merlin.

Absolutely adorable! Such a sweet, delightful, fantastically entertaining story. If it were longer, I'd've considered giving it 5 stars just for pure enjoyment.
So clever, witty, and sweet. Lovely!
Favorite Quotes:
Yes. Yes, he knows Merlin, the one with the ears and the cheekbones and all the--the hair--and oh, he must've said that bit aloud, because Morgana is tossing her head back and laughing.
"We've got stats together, and you've never spoken a word to me except to tell me to move my ears so that you could see the board."
"I never said that," Arthur says.
"You did, on the first day."
"I--you're making that up."
"I'm not," Merlin insists. "I'll show you where I wrote about it in my diary."
"Your diary."
"The pages are tear-stained, Arthur," Merlin says, shaking his head. "Stained with my tears."
"There was a cat."
"There was a shadow."
"It was a cat," Merlin insists.
"It was a figment of your imagination."
"I've wanted you forever, you absolute arse."
"Well, you've got me now," Merlin says, pulling back and grinning like he'll burst and Arthur thinks, yes. This. Yes.

Sweet, but super short Christmas story.
April 8, 2016
all dialogue and no story, like a stage play with no blocking other than a bunch of shrugging, leering, pouting, and grinning.

This was a cute little pining Arthur POV that jumps through a couple days. Not tons of substance but a fun little read. Drama free.

Um. Instead of writing an actual review, I'm just going to include some of my favorite quotes. 'Cause I think that should be enough to make everyone want to read this. Actually, the fact that it's a Merthur fic should be enough to make everyone want to read this. ;D
Convinced yet? No? Okay, here's one more.
“You need a lift to Wales, yeah? I didn't dream that?”
“Dream about me often, do you?” Merlin asks, grinning.
He grips the wheel to stop himself reaching over and trying to hold Merlin's hand.
"You've probably got his name written on the inside of your stats textbook.”
“I've got no such thing.”
“It's probably written in purple glitter pen.”
“I loathe you.”
“It probably says, Mrs. Merlin —”
Merlin texts back a smiley face, and really, there is no rational reason why that is so adorable, but that doesn't stop Arthur standing there, freezing his fingers off and staring soppily down at the screen
Convinced yet? No? Okay, here's one more.
Merlin grins blooms slowly around his mouthful and Arthur's heart freefalls in his chest.

A story that finished before it starts. Arthur and Merlin have crush on each other and dont know how to act. Finally Merlin asks for a ride hom from Arther using Morgana. Then there is a kiss at the end of the ride and a fuck scene 3 days later. Bye Bye.
The name is wrong. THERE IS ONLY 1 DRIVING LESSON .. almost everything about the story is wrong

Very short and very quick, but fun.
