Summary
Arthur—a well-off biomedical engineer who designs artificial joints—has been lusting after Merlin in the gym but never thought to actually make a move. Then his flatmate Gwaine makes a move instead, and suddenly Merlin is around their flat all the time, funny and gorgeous and no longer available.
Arthur can almost deal with that, but then his sister goes and ruins their father’s career and blows up their entire family in the process, and Arthur can’t deal with anything anymore. Not his job, and especially not Merlin, who is frustratingly kind and supportive. And who invites Arthur along on his business trip to Canada so that Arthur can get away from the drama.

Merlin—a trans video games concept artist—is back in London after several years in Montréal, enjoying his new freelance job. He reconnects with a uni friend, Gwaine, who happens to live with Arthur, the guy Merlin has been eyeing at the gym. Things with Gwaine are fun and hot, and it’s only a little awkward whenever he has to interact with Arthur. But then they keep interacting more and more, and, soon enough, they are good enough friends that Merlin feels compelled to invite Arthur with him on a trip back to Canada.
