#DecRecs: I mentioned the other day looking forward to the day when fics set on twitter could be recced as charmingly vintage period pieces so! time to test that by finding out if we've all been off LJ for long enough for that to count as charmingly vintage! this fic was written in 2011 for the kinkme-merlin comm. It's an AU where the characters of BBC Merlin are in the Starz Camelot fandom and is both a loving tribute to internet friendships/romance and a by my memory (admittedly not necessarily reliable, satsuma was a tiny fandom baby in 2011) pretty accurate representation of what LJ fandom was like at the time. Absolutely no knowledge of BBC Merlin necessary
