A Hard Day's Knight

I'm not sure what I had planned for today. I'm sure whatever it was, it was terribly important. But instead I think I'm going to just watch this hot/lulz/hot/gay/fabulous/ridiculous/hot interview photo-shoot vid thing:

A Hard Day's Knight

Eoin, Tom, Rupert (Gwaine, Percival, Leon) are interviewed by digital spy after a photo shoot for Gay Times (er, I think that's what was going on)

okay - Eoin??? - I adore your sense of humour. You can play rock, paper, scissors in my bed any day.

derryere transcribed the best bits for those of you who cannot listen to the words while naked chests, hair flipping and stunning smiles are going on in the background.

Merlin Big Bang Rec

Psst!!! Steampunk fans!!! Check this one out, and you don't need to follow Merlin to enjoy this fic.

Beat Your Heart In Time With Mine by peasnbeanstalks Merlin/Arthur [R] (40k)

This is a non-magical, steampunk AU. The writing is gorgeous, the world building is everything I could want from a steampunk fic. I loved the mystery of the town, it was eery and disturbing in a Doctor Who episode kind of way - like everything is normal and yet you ~know~ there is something off about the town. Also Merlin and his obsessions with fiddling with things, clocks and gears and trains and how everything works - the whole characterisation worked for me. As did Arthur, who was brave and cocky and there was a lot going on beneath the surface but Merlin's POV only gave us small glimpses of it. Wonderful crafted fic.

and I'm going to rec for a second time the gorgeous art accompanying this fic by sweetestel because I think the art itself is a perfect rec for this fic.
