So I accidentally deleted my poll while trying to fix the formatting of my post and now I feel utterly stupid, so here is a poll again and my apologies to those who already voted![Poll #1362070][Poll #1362070]
Yeah I agree with you, of course it is more than just looks and Merlin is a lot more likely to be insecure about his while Arthur is only used to praise, so if it is Merlin's pov and canon compliant sure, but all the AUs I've been reading sort of have that too, and a part of me just goes, but Merlin is pretty and Arthur should appreciate that!
That is a good point - I suspect it's something that carries over from canon, and people don't even think about the fact that it doesn't work as well in an AU context.
Merlin is very pretty - you are not alone. And I look forward to reading your Big Bang story pointing out the fact. ;-)
