Merlin Recs

Various pairings, each listed beside the recs.


[VID]
The Sorcerer & The King by analyst_1 Merlin/Arthur
Music: I saw you die - Apollo Drive
Summary: I saw you die, in front of my eyes. I watched you fall without a choice. To hear you breathe, what I wouldn't give to have you here with me. ~ dealing with the opening part of misswinterhill 's The Sorcerer and The King.

I adored this fic and this vid is everything it promises, and complete re-living of those moments that ripped my heart out. Fantastic stuff.

( lots more recs, but I need to cut... )

I AM SO BORING!!!! *cries*

I'm trying to pick a layout for gsd_rtfn and I'm just such a flexible squares sort of girl. The gorgeous layout that I have in my personal lj is gorgeous only because it was custom made for me as a gift and I had no say in it. Which is good because clearly I have the most vanilla tastes in layouts ever.

I want something fun, but also easy to read and God, nothing PINK. Why are all the whimsical layouts PINK?

I was all set to load this one in Simple: White'n Blue I think it's lovely!!! but it also made me realise how ~clean~ I like my layout.

My second choice is arctic rash OMG! why so square and blue, maggie???

Any suggestions??? It's for a writing comm so I want it to be fun and welcoming and not too OTT. But not boring... idek.

My only stipulations is I need a layout with a nice side nav for easy access tags and links.

ETA: the two above where a bust! One didn't work with adds (which I need because it's a public comm) and the other had no nav bar!!!

I went with this: gsd_rtfn ... meh. not sure it's right. I want more focus on content and less on the background. *sigh*

I'm giving up for now. been at this for hours.
