I haven't been on Tumblr in months but I figured this is a good time to come back to it because I'm actually 7 weeks away from publishing my debut novel! Super nervous and super excited!

Interested in a gay version of Meet Joe Black that ends in a HEA? Well, this is pretty much it! Releases on 22nd July 🥳 Amazon link here:

Blurb

After a terrible accident, most people would spend day and night at their husband's side, praying for him to pull through. To wake up.

Dawson isn't most people. Then again, it's not unreasonable to want to be rid of the man who's made your life a living hell for the past six years.

Except when Cal wakes up, he's nothing like the man who'd put bruise after bruise on Dawson's body and shattered his soul. Cal has no memory of any of that. He remembers nothing, including his own name.

Dawson should walk away. Cal might not remember, but Dawson does. He remembers everything. By all rights, he should run and never look back.

What he absolutely should not do is start falling for him, for this man who wears his husband's face but feels like home, not like someone Dawson should fear.

It might make him the most horrible person on the planet, but if Dawson had one wish, he'd wish for Cal's memories to never come back.

There’s only one thing Merlin needs to know. “Will Arthur be there?”

Freya nods hesitantly. “I believe so, yes.”

And that’s all that matters.

“Then do it.”

Summary:

“Buckle up, buttercup. This time next week you’ll get to experience the wonders of that 9-inch monster yourself.”

The image of said dick, just as fucking perfect as the man it belongs to, is enough to make Arthur’s brain shortcircuit. It takes another, even longer moment for it to switch back on and process the other part of the sentence. Panic flares in Arthur’s chest, and by the time he calls for Gwaine, he’s almost walked out of the room. “Wait…what?” ***

Arthur's dreamed of shooting a video with Merlin even since he'd first seen him in action. It would seem that some dreams come true. Except for one teeny tiny detail.

Arthur doesn't bottom.

This is all Gwen's fault. Merlin never wanted a stupid smartphone in the first place. Now, he has a smartphone and a supercilious, posh git bullying him on Whatsapp. He really should block the prat.

or

The one where Merlin doesn't block the prat and finds out that, maybe, smartphones aren't so bad after all.

“Are you telling me you broke up, because you can’t keep it down?”

Arthur scowls into his pint, giving Gwaine an unimpressed look.

Gwaine grimaces. “Sorry, that came out wrong. You broke up, because she didn’t like that you’re a little more...vocal when showing your appreciation?”

Now, that sounds even worse. Why has he told Gwaine anything again? *** In which Arthur is too loud during sex, and his lovers hate it. Cue Merlin, who's determined to take Arthur apart.

[chocolot]

Did Merlin get the horn of Cathbhadh?

Did he meet Arthur in Stonehenge?

[youngreckless]

do you ever just in the middle of reading a fic start smiling like a fool because it's so well written and for a moment it feels like you're actually there, in the story and you only realise you've been smiling after a while and it feels really nice in a way

Not the tavern

A list Merlin leaves for Gaius when he’s away and Arthur asks where he is. Unfortunately, Gaius loses the list.

He’s falling ill

Lost in the forest

Picking flowers for you

Can’t find his neckerchief and feels naked

“You came in here and asked me that 5 minutes ago. I already told you.”

He’s not with you?

Wilddeoren attacked. It was messy.

It’s Official Leave Work Day. Didn’t you know?

*sends George in Arthur’s general direction*

Who’s Merlin?

Stuck in a parallel universe

“You gave him the day off, sire.”

Act alarmed and rush Arthur out of the room. If he asks why, there’s no time to explain.

Ignore Arthur altogether and act like he isn’t there. “Did you hear something?”

Merlin’s here but he’s invisible and unable to move or speak. “You don’t see him? Let me check your vision.”

The stocks

Visiting a dragon

Visiting Avalon

Visiting the Crystal Cave

Wherever Merlin actually is

Anything but the tavern

Things only get more complicated from there. 

“Welcome to The Drip and Grind, what can I get for you?“ “The same thing I always have,” Prince Arthur says, sounding vaguely disdainful and unbearably posh. “One would think you’d remember my order by now.” Merlin scowls. He remembers His Haughtiness’ order perfectly well, but sees no reason to inflate an already unbearably large ego. “You’re not my only customer,” Merlin keeps his voice coolly polite; barely. “You realise that’s not the proper way to address me?” And is that a smirk at the corner of the stupid prat’s, stupidly gorgeous mouth? “Apologies, your High-and-Mightiness. Now do you think you can tell me your order or must I divine it from my crystal ball?”
