Firsts by leashy_bebes Merlin/Gwaine [NC-17] (3k)
Summary: When Gwaine stumbles on the little village of Ealdor he plans to stay two nights. Maybe three. Except then there's Merlin.

Holy shit. This is a BRILLIANT first time fic. It is hot like burning with spot on Gwaine. Just yeah – leashy gives such great Merlin/Gwaine... it makes my insides all mushy. It hits everything I love about ‘first time’ moments – the nerves, the curiosity, the lust overcoming the panic... it’s all there and just pitch perfect all around. Please note the warnings: Canon AU, age difference (with Merlin about 17). But Merlin here is not ‘young and vulnerable’ (if that’s not your thing) he is just inexperienced and very eager to have those ‘firsts’ with Gwaine (who is early-twenties-ish).

Possibly Maybe I'm Falling For You by lady_ragnell Merlin/Arthur [PG-13] (14k)
Summary: Merlin walks into his favourite coffee shop one morning to find the Prince of Wales behind the till. His life only gets more surreal from there.

I wasn’t sure what to expect with this fic as I’ve read a lot of Arthur is the Prince of Wales fics (and I do love love this trope) but even going in prepared to enjoy it, I was absolutely giddy last night with HOW MUCH I enjoyed this. It is funny and sweet and the kind of fic that leaves you in a fabulous mood for hours after you read it.

I love the second rec to pieces. It's a fun trope very well handled. *off to read the first*

Enjoy! (you might need a cold shower afterwords)
