Random acts of kindness and going on a haitus.

Morning! It's Friday! \o/ and it's freeeeeeeeeeeezing. /o\

Also (according to my kids' school) it is Random Acts of Kindness Day so \o/ go do something random and nice for someone just because. Pay for the person behind you in line's coffee or leave a comment on someones fic if you usually lurker or call your mom (heh - I should totally do that... )

In other news..
I’ve decided I need to take a little hiatus. From TOMORROW until Nov 14th, I will NOT be:
- Reading fics
- Reading my flist
- Posting episode commentary/recs/useless stuff
- Twittering my life away

I will be:
- Writing my merlin_holidays
- Betaing
- Catching up on comments
- Updating rec lists/masterlists

If you need me: PM me or email me! I am still around! I’m just trying to avoid my usual time eaters.

however... that all starts tomorrow. I might be spamming you today.

Merlin Recs

FIC:
you and i by lyryk Merlin/Arthur [NC-17,warnings] (2.2k)
Summary: An anonymous encounter. Canon-verse.

Awe, man – this was one of the beautiful surprises from kinkspiration’s crossdressing round. This fic is packed with my favourite kinks, anon sex, crossdressing, D/s, bondage, toys, finger fucking... and all wrapped into a delicious package of 2.2k of panty melting goodness.

Good, Giving, and Gwaine by junkshop_disco Merlin/Gwaine [NC-17, crossdressing] (4k)
Summary: If Merlin had known Gwaine was about to catch him looking at men in corsets, he’d have written to Dan Savage for advice on how to explain that ever since he can remember, he’s had a bit of a thing for men in ladies’ things.

I love everything about this fic. Merlin’s embarrassment at being caught looking at pics of guys in lingerie was so spot on, then Gwaine’s reaction to it was all *hearteyes* and sexy. And um... the sex? Those images will be in my brain forever. GUH.

Sweep the Ashes Dry by significantowl Merlin/Gwaine [PG] (5.6k)
Summary: In which Gwaine is a private investigator who does his research, Merlin is a psychic who helps people no-one else can, and there’s much more going on in the Barrel & Stake than meets the eye.

This is a wonderful action/adventure for Merlin and Gwaine. A fun ghost story with the background of investigator!Gwaine being fascinated with psychic!Merlin while the two try to figure out what is really happening around them. I would love to see this turn into a series.

I haven't been able to keep up with reccing all the wonderful art posted at the hd_fanart fest. There is just so much of it!

But the lovely mods put thumbnail teasers of each art into Guessing Poll. It's a super easy was to find the art you missed and pick the styles that quickly catch your eye. Handy!
