More Merlin/Arthur recs

The Knights Have a Thousand Eyes by

stakeaclaim [R] (70k+)
Summary: In which Arthur attempts to teach his knights, his knights attempt to woo Merlin and Arthur is definitely not jealous....

This fic hits my One True bulletproof kink: jealous!arthur. nnngh. It's long and plotty and funny with tons of great characters (the knights). I will warn for switching POVs. It's pretty distracting, but I enjoyed everything else in this fic so much, I can't not rec it. It was well worth the read despite that, which says something. :)

Tintagel by

Summary: They would pay any price that was asked, Nimueh whispered at the end, trembling with exhaustion, desperate, pleading, anything, anything at all. Just give her this child. Give her the son he stole from her.

A very powerful, compelling piece in which Arthur learns the story of his birth and the days following. The Ygraine/Nimueh storyline was beautiful and heartbreaking.

Truth is a Whisper by

Summary: Words can also be mightier than the sword.

Possibly one of my favourite fics so far in this wild ride of reading Merlin classics. Great storytelling, well put together and hot, hot sex. Oh, and a really interesting Merlin here, sexy and confident without being overly done.

Doubled Over With the Hunger of Lions by

Summary: There's something in the air, pulling them together and pushing the kingdom apart.

The fairies made them do it! Yes, it's a forced bonding fic of sorts and OMG! So hot and delish because they fight it and they give in and they fight and they misunderstand each other. *pets the pretty angst* and yeah, hot like burning and a lovely, lovely fic.

Happy Friday, people!
