MERLIN Recs

Between Merlin Wankfest and the Self-Pimping Rec List I’ve been drowning in porn and awesomeness and so many new names and faces and brilliantly talented people to start stalking. Where have you guys been all my life?

This list just scratches the surface of what is in those above links. More recs to come, without question. There just isn’t enough time in the day!

[ART]
THANK YOU WANKFEST PARTICIPANTS! by eloquent_toast [NWS] Merlin/Arthur

OT4 – Unbreakable by yue_ix and xenakis_ [WS] OT4

You're the storm that I believe in by yue_ix [WS] Merlin

For Luck by phoenixacid [WS] Merlin/Arthur

Wizard Pride by lkaet [WS] Merlin/Arthur

In Which Arthur Fails to be a Hero, and Merlin Shouldn't be Allowed on Hunting trips by lkaet [WS] Merlin/Arthur

I also discovered the brilliance of tindu! Her art is simply breath-taking.
Arthur/Merlin [WS] Merlin/Arthur and Сharming and devilishly handsome [WS]Colin And she has a few others have blown me away but I’ll wait until she posts them to her LJ to rec. *pokes her to get on that*

[FIC]
In Which Moral Bankruptcy is Catching by leashy_bebes [R] (3k) Arthur/Merlin, Gwaine
Summary: Written for the prompt: "Gwaine and Merlin are best friends. They've been playing a constant game of Truth and Dare for three terms now. So when Gwaine finds out that Merlin has a crush on Arthur it's only natural that he dares Merlin to wank in Arthur's bed. It's inevitable really that Arthur is going to walk in on him (or them - it's your choice)" at the Merlin Wankfest

Merlin becoming morally bankrupt under Gwaine’s influence needs to become the new black. I want an entire fest of Gwaine and Merlin daring each other to be more and more outrageous and the ensuing hilarity of it. Please? This fic would actually be horribly creepy and wrong if not for the fact that Merlin fully acknowledges just how creepy and wrong it all is in the most hilarious panicky way. It’s a total sexy riot.

And three older fics:
Shosholoza Meyl: A Pleasant Experience, or Arthur Gets Laid on a Train by mellacita [R] (6.5k)
Summary: Modern AU. Arthur Pendragon is on a last holiday before assuming the mantle of responsibility, and receives an unexpected roommate for a night aboard the Shosholoza Meyl train from Johannesburg to Cape Town, South Africa.

A wonderful moment of escape for Arthur who is about to start his life of obligation. The fic is 90% a train ride with Arthur and a stranger (Merlin) getting to know each other. A wonderful romantic read in a fascinating setting.

This Time, Baby by agenttrojie [NC-17] (4.5k)
Summary: Arthur and Merlin break up, and Merlin's life kind of skids to a halt.

This isn’t a happy fic. It’s raw and hurting and left me aching at its realism. Beautifully written, but you might want a fluffy chaser if you’re a wimp like me.

Sparring and Submission by leashy_bebes Arthur/Merlin, Gwaine [NC-17] (3k)
Summary: Merlin leaves the training session weighed down with the usual armour, swords, and the rest – but he barely notices, his head still teeming with thoughts. To do that, to make Arthur work for the control he feels entitled to, to make him fight for it. What must that feel like? It's an interesting notion, to say the least. But it's just a notion, and Merlin thinks it'll always stay that way.

This fic has a well chosen title, as it’s is all about sparing and the eventual submission by one of the parties to end the spar. The idea that the exhilaration of the spar and the moment of submission is a turn on is fantastic. Merlin sees this and wants a part of it, to delicious results.

Thank you!

Can I post all works in one post? Or by rating/theme? :) Because 30+ will be very cruelly...

*twirls you around*

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

YOU HAVE 30+ ART TO POST????

hmmm... let me think. I would take out the ones that are 'extra special' like I'd come for you and post it on it's own. Others you could group?

Maybe 4-5 art pieces per post?

Wait a sec let me look at your gallery...

...

HOLY FUCK. *cough*

Sorry... um, yeah - you've got some pretty amazing pics there. wow. *ponders* You could post them in all separate posts to your lj, then make cross posts to mxa that link back to several of them.

And if you want help coding that, I'm happy to give you a hand. I know it's a lot of html. :)

*blushes*

*kisses*
I think to separate them by themes (and pairings) "BigBang", "NSFW", "OTP-fest" or something like that.

Oh it would be great! HMTL scares me :) Why are you so adorable? ♥♥♥

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

I'm happy to help, honestly. I just know html and crossposting is intimidating if you aren't used to LJ and English isn't your first language. And the LJ world deserves to see your art!

I'm off for the weekend, but I'll be back Tuesday. Pop me an email (marguerite_26@hotmail.com) and we can talk about how to do this if you'd like a hand. your gallery is huge, so yeah... it's not something that can be done overnight. ;)

[tindu.livejournal.com]

*touched*
What can I do for you? Your help is really good and you're so kind to me... I think it's fair to do something in return ♥

I will write you (in Tuesday, yes?). Thank you very much. I never forget your kindness <33

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

Yup, Tuesday's great. :)

You don't need to do anything for me, lovely. I'm happy to help! People have been nice to me on LJ, I'm nice to you, you go be nice to someone else. Everyone wins!

Aw, thanks for the rec! I have a fond spot in my heart for that little fic. Did you see I wrote a coda to it as a Christmas gift for a couple of flisters? I just remembered to link it at the bottom of the fic.

Thanks for the rest of the recs, too. Will have to check them out!

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

I didn't see the coda! How lovely. I'll have to take look. :)

[eloquent-toast.livejournal.com]

Awww thank you for the rec, bb - and the mention for wankfest!

IT WAS SO AWESOME WASN'T IT?!?!?!?!
