the last waltz did somersaults

Rating: 12A (mostly kissing, some swearing, references to oral sex)

Word Count: ~15,000 words

Summary: Inspired by this prompt at kinkme_merlin.

The business is failing, the staff have all left, and the former CEO trashed their office. The secretary’s a former intern, and the senior management staff are cobbled together from several of Uther Pendragon’s highly successful companies. Arthur’s the newly appointed CEO, and he has no idea what he’s supposed to be doing. Luckily, Merlin, the janitor, always seems to be ready with a kind word and a magical solution.

Notes: Unbeta’d. Title taken from the Train song We Were Made For This because I’ve been listening to that album a lot and I have a lot of feelings, OK?! It was this or a fun. lyric....
