Just going through, reading again. :D There should be a space between 'and' and 'definite' in the fourth paragraph!

Fixed! Thanks.
The conversion to LJ markup does sometimes remove spaces, gah.

Dude. You don't even know how I've been thinking "SOMEONE SHOULD WRITE MERLIN/ARTHUR IN SPACE!" for the past, oh, 48 hours, at least.

I will read this once I do not have TONS OF HOMEWORK. And rejoice, for lo! other people think as strangely as I. :D

I absolutely love this. So much. <3

"This pattern continued over the next two days until Merlin learned that he could get several hours worth of good behaviour out of Arthur by opening a job search site in the web browser and guiltily closing it when Arthur looked at his screen."

I love retro science fiction and this hit all the right notes with me.

Best. Line. EVER.

Arthur and Merlin in space is working unbelievably well. I'm enjoying the details of their ship, the planets and their missions. Arthur is still an imperious brat, but I can understand what Merlin sees in him. The same goes for Arthur's attraction to Merlin. He's certainly endearing in this.

The "what do they see in each other" thing is always tricky with pairing fic, so I'm glad it worked for you. Thanks!
