Merlin recs??? provided, not asked for.
Mar. 10th, 2010 08:48 amer? okay. Being two days into this fandom I run to complete risk of sounding like a newbie on harrydraco proclaiming to the world that they 'discovered' Maya and her writing is amazing and has anyone heard of her. heh. And yet... when I read fantastic fic, I cannot seem to not share my love of it.
I'm working my way through a bunch of recs I received yesterday and *bounce* OMG! so good. I'm going to pretend that maybe someone out there will appreciate hearing my thoughts no matter how obvious they may be.
I got the memo when I joined fandom that said: read anything by Astolat. Okay. Done. :D Fabulous, fabulous stuff. (she actually reminds me very much of faithwood in her plotting, humour and smexing). Though she does put Arthur comfortably as a bottom which IDEK, needs more explanation to me than just 'they like to switch it up'. But that's a person preference thing and otherwise, I ADORE her. :D
Title: Seven Magpies by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
syllic
Pairing(s)/Character(s): Merlin/Arthur
Word Count: Roughly 33,000.
Summary: Arthur opened his eyes a minute later to the sight of seven magpies streaking across the top of the clearing, their shapes dark against the white clouds and the muted grey of the sky. He tried to remember what it was that seven magpies meant—he’d had a nurse who had sung the rhyme to him as a child—but couldn’t.
I can see this being exactly the fic I look back on to say: This was the first Merlin fic I read. Which won't be technically true, but my memory is never that accurate anyway and I can imagine feeling that way because I got lost in this fic. I melted into it and fell in love with each character and the entire universe that was created here. It is an epic character journey for Arthur that just pokes at everything I wanted fanfic to poke at the instant I finished watching the series. *snuggles it close*
Title: His Own Hand bympoetess or The past tense version *g*
Pairing(s)/Character(s): Merlin/Arthur
Word Count: 12k
Summary: In which Merlin is punished for saving his life for the thousandth uncredited time, and arguing with Uther is the stupidest thing Arthur's done until the next thing.
Thank you Merlin fandom for seducing me and leading me back to madpoetess. *twirls* First - spanking! FTW!!! Hot like burning. But the best thing? I have not laughed so much during a fic since... God, I don't remember when. I had tears (of laughter) running down my face from Uther! Uther! OMG! And yet this was still somehow IC for everyone, Arthur, Uther and Merlin all so damn well done. I'm keeping this one for when I need something to brighten my day.
I haz merlin rec tag! eek!
Read something you like? let the author know! Even if you are just poking your head into the fandom. :D (yes, I'm talking to myself as much as to you)
