INSTA-REC

[marguerite_26]

I've been reading this WIP for a few days now after ella_bane recced it and I'm just devouring it. Great story, great writing and UST that makes be squirm like Colin during a panel even hours after I've stopped reading. Excellent fic.

but WIP!!! but author's been posting large chunk every day consistently, so YAY!!!

It's on chp 21, no idea how long it will be... I'm guessing it's half done, maybe?

[currently rated R, but I'm still hoping. ;P ]
Summary: a Merlin modern-day AU set at St Andrews University

Merlin is entering his first year of St Andrews University to study sorcery and gets 'stuck' with The Prince of Wales as his roommate. Which is a horrid twist of fate for poor crushing-on-Arthur!Merlin, but no exactly a coincidence. Morgana and Gwen are brilliant. Arthur is trying very hard to be straight, bless him. The Merlin/Arthur UST/Bromance/BFF is totally is brilliant. Excellent all around.

Last I looked she had that one planned out until 30 chapters =D

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

OMG!!!! That would mean it would be done next WEEK!!! *FLAILS*

I totally adore this universe. Are you reading? can we talk?

[cinnatart.livejournal.com]

no I haven't read it yet. thought about reading it tomorrow if I feel up to it, since I'm kind of bed/chair ridden the next 36 hours

I'll let you know soon as I do read it. I've heard nothing but good things about it =)

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

It's totally one of those fics you could read all day. :D (even if you have a million other things to do and not bed/chair ridden. :/)

But I think it would be a nice bit of entertainment for you. *pets*

Also then I can ask you what you think!!!! :D

[chantefable.livejournal.com]

I'm waiting until it's finished. :) Everyone is reccing it, it appears.

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

Everyone is reccing it? Ella was the only one i'd seen. Tell me!!! I want more Merlin reccers on my flist. :D

[chantefable.livejournal.com]

Sorry, no idea... I think I randomly saw it recced while wandering random LJs and F-lists, creepily lurking like lurking lurkers are known to lurk, ya know...

[frogspace.livejournal.com]

Well, I recced it two weeks ago. :P

Here is the AO3 link (http://archiveofourown.org/works/91885).

!!! How did I miss that. :(

oh, well... it's possible your comments were in German, I suppose. LOL. I should learn to click regardless.

so... are you all caught up in reading it? care to speculate what might happen?

I'm totally intrigued by Edwin. he is so well done. :D

[accioscar.livejournal.com]

LOL! I live like 20 miles away from St Andrews!! It's a lovely place. :D

I really wanna read this but I just cannot do WsIP. I'm too impatient!!

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

I live like 20 miles away from St Andrews!!

EEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeee!!! oh, scar I am so jealous. it sounds so lovely in the fic. :D

read it so we can squee together when the last chapter gets posted!!! :D

(I'm currently watching DW with Anthony Head and it LULz with slick-haired Uther. *g*)

[accioscar.livejournal.com]

Oh, and I just checked on Archive of Our Own and it says "Chapters:21/25", so perhaps I will start reading it if it's nearly done already...

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

hmmm... AO3 said 21/30 for me. still... nine days away. :D

[accioscar.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it says 30 now. But it definitely said 25 when I looked last night??

Anyway, I guess it's still not too long to wait. Will start reading it as soon as I've finished the book I'm reading. (Probably later tonight!)

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Well, I guess I'm going to have to bite the bullet. Lol

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

bite it!!! :D

(oh god, I hope the wip doesn't implode before ending or I WILL DIE).

[keitn.livejournal.com]

alkasdfaask!!! ♥♥♥♥ The WIP-ness and UST of this is just killing me! But I just can't help it. She's pushing on 30 from her original 25. A brilliant, brilliant read. <3

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

YAY!!! *twirls awesome fic*

I'm just loving each chapter still. don't want it to end. :D

[phoenixacid.livejournal.com]

I'll DEFINITELY read it when the 30th chapter is posted!! It sounds wonderful!

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

[accioscar.livejournal.com]

OMG, MAGGIE, OMG!!!

I HAVE ONLY READ THE 1ST CHAPTER AND I AM ALREADY IN LOVE!!!!

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

HEE!!! I KNOW, RIGHT??? *FLAILS*

[wordflake.livejournal.com]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for reccing this, it's really, really good! I started to read quite late this Thursday night, but unfortunately I had to go up early the next day but I couldn't stop reading. It really was this must-read-a-chapter-more! And then I didn't have access to Internet until now, Sunday night (stupid Swedes who must celebrate Midsummer)and I think I died a little when I couldn't finish all the chapters she has written during this weekend.

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

yay!!! this made me so happy!!!! I'm so thrilled you are liking it. ITS SO AWESOME!!!! :D

I never want it to end. lol.

[wordflake.livejournal.com]

I'm stalking AO3, abusing the f5 button and gnawing my nails of, waiting for another chapter.
