[FIC]

Spartacus and the Open Taxi Door by fuzzytomato02 Merlin/Arthur [PG-13] (9k)
Summary: Merlin works in a coffee shop, is a literature student, lives with Will, flirts with Gwaine, is friends with Gwen and has a stunningly normal life. Until Arthur walks in and changes everything.

A fun, romantic modern AU that left a huge smile on my face. This smitten Arthur is pretty adorable.

The Spirit of Christmas by tourdefierce Merlin/Arthur [NC-17] (22k)
Summary: This is the story about how Arthur the Elf got his groove back.

This fic was crazy cracky fun. Completely insane and original and I had a blast reading it.

Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies by venivincere Merlin/Arthur [NC-17] (3.6k)
Summary: Rocks fall. Everyone... dies? Well, maybe the Little Death.

A sweet and sexy fic that slips right into *waves hand* some moment in canon.

ALSO! The guessing poll is up! GO GUESS.

[just in case there was ANYONE in ANY FANDOM that missed this. OMG THIS ART!!!!!!!!!! CLICK ON IT!!!!!!!! unless you are at work. in which case it will get you fired.]

[FIC]
Riches and Wondersby anon @ hd_holidays Harry/Draco, Harry/Ginny, Draco/Astoria
Summary: The affair starts on a Thursday.
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~9000

This summary, though simple, is perfect. It represents exactly what this fic is about: an affair, simple, uncomplicated and stripped bare. It does not rip your heart out or make you ache for the injustice of it all (or at least it didn’t for me) it’s an infidelity fic that is long term and unfaltering and a simple fact of these characters lives. I know that is a huge squick for some people. If it’s not, then I recommend this read. I don’t think I’ve ever read an infidelity fic quite like this: hot and satisfying despite the inherit wrongness of infidelity.

[as a side note: I’m super behind on reading in this fest. and even further behind on commenting. I will get to commenting on all the fics I’ve recced. I just need more time in the day.]

ALSO! Guessing poll! I'm in there somewhere...
