I sometimes abuse ampersands

So, um, apparently you can take the girl out of fandom, but you cannot take fandom out of the girl. I watched Kingsman and was very angry with it (everybody and their mom knows about its fails, right?). Then I watched it again. It improves noticeably once you acquire an OTP. It's been a month, and everything has been a blissful blur.

Anyway, the important bit is, this fandom marks my first attempt to write something longer than a drabble in English. I'm finally semi-content with the fact that, if my English is good enough for dissertating, it must be good enough for my porn-writing purposes. (Posting as a WIP is not necessarily the best idea ever, esp seeing how it probably won't be longer than ~10K anyways, but such is the nature of kinkmeme fills.)

So, here's the WIP that's taking over my life:

Fandom: Kingsman
Title: The Clusterfuck of Epic Proportions
Pairing: Harry Hart/Merlin
Rating: Mature
Summary: A fill of the prompt "Can I get something slow and sweet about young Harry and Merlin getting together? Lots of pining, worrying that the other one is not gay/not interested, possibly being repressed about being gay themselves as well, and them becoming very good close friends before one of them finally makes a move?" from Dressing Room 3: A Kingsman Kink Meme.

In which Harry believes himself to be irresistible, Merlin's patience is tried, and good clean fun is had by all (especially, one assumes, by their respective therapists).

Caveat lector: English is not my first language, and this is unbetaed. Here be monsters.
