Merlin Recs

Picture Maker by tourdefierce [NC-17] (25k)
Summary: Hipster: a subculture of men and women typically in their 20's and 30's that value independent thinking, counter-culture, progressive politics, an appreciation of art and indie-rock, creativity, intelligence, and witty banter. Hipster: a group of people Arthur Pendragon despises.

This is one of the most fascinating fics I’ve read in a long time. It’s also incredibly filthy. It made me blush and ... yeah, that takes a lot these days. Read the warnings – nothing too hard-core, but it’s certainly dirty. But this Merlin... yeah, he’s a bit of brilliant and I totally understand how Arthur's completely in awe of him (which is not something I often see in non-magical modern AU’s, tbh) but I’m with Arthur, staring slack-jawed at this outrageous, talented, dead-sexy Merlin who lives a life so far from anything I have ever, will ever experience that I felt a bit like Alice following a white rabbit. Unique fic, incredibly hot and epically romantic.

Questing by emeraldsword Gwaine/Merlin, one-sided Merlin/Arthur [NC-17] (3k)
Summary: set during 3x8, The Eye of the Phoenix, contains some spoilers for that. It clearly makes sense for Merlin to go and get Gwaine to help him save Arthur. There are lots of valid reasons for him to do that, it's not just that Gwaine's very attractive… Merlin's needs aren't met very often, but then, neither are Gwaine's.

Kink warning: Watersports. I love the way this author portrays the vulnerability of both Merlin and Gwaine and the acceptance they show each other. It’s one more thing that binds them together, and builds their trust. Very hot with honest emotions nestled in there nicely!

ETA: So What Have You Eaten Today? by lolafeist Gwaine/Merlin [NC-17] (770)
Warnings: (or summary, really) Just some gratuitous porn, nothing to see here. Come play, a joke about watersports. Honestly, it's a joke. But yes, come play.

Happy Holidays, hollys_tree!

hollys_tree wanted a custom rec: H/D with a strong Harry-Ron friendship. Not impossible, but actually rarer than one would think. I didn't have to go quite this far back - but I was fun to go digging deep for this in the hopes to find something she hadn't yet read. *crosses fingers*


Earthbound Spook by cest_what (Harry/Draco) [PG-13] (58k)
Summary: Harry has no reason to like or trust Draco Malfoy. The fact that Malfoy has already died once shouldn't change that.

This fic is NOT Deathly Hallows-compatible. It was completed Oct 2007 (a post-HBP AU) and is an ‘HD classic’, imo. It takes place at Hogwarts during seventh year , Draco Malfoy apparently dead. The mystery plot unfolds from there. The Harry and Ron friendship is strong through out the fic and it’s really a lovely read. Enjoy.
