Merlin Recs

[marguerite_26]

The last few days I've read a bunch of great short fics. They are mostly older and you've likely read them all … but just in case, I figured I'd share. No comments on each, but they are all mostly delish PWP and/or humour.

Merlin/Arthur

The Best Little Whorehouse in Albion by twobees [NC-17, some het] (4k)
Summary: Arthur's birthday present to Merlin is not exactly what Merlin's been wanting.

The Common Touch by lamardeuse [NC-17] (8k)
Summary: [from frogspace's rec] Really, this was ridiculous. He could be a peasant for an afternoon, for Heaven's sake. How difficult could it be?

The Prince's New Clothes aka The Camelot Job by oxoniensis [R] (6k)
Summary: [mine] hee! See title, that should say it all. This is apparently a crossover, but I didn't know that when I read it. No knowledge of the other fandom (Leverage) required.

Misrule by thehoyden [NC-17, crossdressing] (4k)
Summary: [mine] He did and the piece in his hand had a rose engraved on it -- puzzled, he showed it to Arthur. And then he knew his future was going to be wretched, after all, because Arthur's countenance turned gleeful and he shouted to the hall, "Merlin's the Maiden!"

Inside Outright by franticsga [NC-17] (7k)
Summary: Arthur would probably have forgotten about him, looked away and maybe had one more drink before heading home[...] Whatever was in this skinny, awkward kid's eyes was exactly what was inside Arthur-- a deep-seated, unending loneliness, the knowledge that there could never be anybody who understood or wanted him.

Polishing Buttons by skellerbvvt [PG-13] (5k)
Summary: Polishing buttons doesn’t mean what you think it means, unless it does, then it does, with bells on.

Down Among the Saints by sevenfists [NC-17, het, Merlin/OCs] (6k)
Summary: In which Merlin discovers his unusual parentage.


And threesome fics that I really loved:

Merlin/Arthur/Gwen

Triumvirate anon at KMM [NC-17]
Summary: [mine] Merlin helps out on Arthur and Gwen's wedding night

Loud As Hope by heather11483 [R] (4k)
Summary: Three lonely people come together in the absence of the fourth.

Loud as Hope was one that sprung to mind when you requested M/A/G fics, but I couldn't remember the title or find a link. I'm glad you found it (and linked it haha).

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

Loud as Hope was just wonderful. I'm so thrilled that I was recced it. :D

(I suck at remembering names too. LOL)

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

I've spent the last couple days doing nothing but going through your Merlin recs. You've found some fantastic stuff, and I'm having one hell of a time.

So, the point of this comment: I was searching the internet for Merlin/Gaius stories (and found one), when I came across this, and thought of you:

#14 - Inspiration (http://community.livejournal.com/merlinxarthur/934648.html), though you'll have to scroll to get to it.
