Not yet. But since you are the one suggesting it, I will. ;))

You know, the other thing I don't understand is people's obsession with putting Merlin, Arthur & Co in a modern-time environment. What the Hell? What does a US Marine/rock star/modern-time drug addict or any of the countless other versions to do with early medieval Britain, wizards and dragons?

Granted, I hate the genre by default, because, for me, the environment/timeframe, etc. is the second most important part of every fandom (after character interaction). Perhaps I'm a little narrow-minded. But if I want to read a modern-day slash story, I turn to a fandom set in contemporary times. Putting Merlin (or LOTR, or Earthsea, take your pic) characters into modern times only increases the exchangeable quality of the whole thing, IMO.
