We'd say this is a shameless Regency AU of the Mills and Boon variety, but the truth is we are very ashamed.

Summary: Bob Bryar is the best witch in the whole damn scene, even if he does say so himself. Which is just as well, because he's got responsibilities, most of which involve his charge, Gerard. Mainly, Bob's supposed to keep Gerard from falling down a well, or losing his sketchpad - little things, but Bob is a conscientious guardian. But when it becomes obvious that Gerard and Frank are hopelessly, silently in love with each other, Bob suddenly has bigger things to worry about. Nothing he's tried has ended in the declarations of love he'd been aiming for (not the fireworks, not the sunsets, not even the four hours they'd spent in locked in a closet). In a last, ditch attempt, he resorts to real spellwork, the epic, Cinderella kind, and now Frank and Gerard are stuck in a romance novel... with only one way out.

Comment: I liked that although Arthur didn’t remember Merlin, he trusted him extremely quickly. I liked that while Merlin is there to comfort Arthur and you can see how much he cares, you can also see how  it hurts him a little to hear about Arthur’s other relationships. A great mix of comfort and fluff.

The rest of the group is just sitting down to play when Patrick walks in, out of breath. "Sorry." He's clutching the pages with his poetry sample in one hand, hard enough to wrinkle them.

Title: Incentive Pairing: Frank/Gerard Rating: PG-13 Word Count: 1,500 Warnings: Mentions of sex, Contrivedness Summary: Gerard's sleeping habits are crap, and Frank desperately wants a good night's sleep. Clearly, some positive reinforcement is in order. Author: xaritomene http://xari-xryso-fic.livejournal.com/4279.html
