Psst!!! Steampunk fans!!! Check this one out, and you don't need to follow Merlin to enjoy this fic.

Beat Your Heart In Time With Mine by [livejournal.com profile] peasnbeanstalks Merlin/Arthur [R] (40k)
This is a non-magical, steampunk AU. The writing is gorgeous, the world building is everything I could want from a steampunk fic. I loved the mystery of the town, it was eery and disturbing in a Doctor Who episode kind of way - like everything is normal and yet you ~know~ there is something off about the town. Also Merlin and his obsessions with fiddling with things, clocks and gears and trains and how everything works - the whole characterisation worked for me. As did Arthur, who was brave and cocky and there was a lot going on beneath the surface but Merlin's POV only gave us small glimpses of it. Wonderful crafted fic.



and I'm going to rec for a second time the gorgeous art accompanying this fic by [livejournal.com profile] sweetestel because I think the art itself is a perfect rec for this fic.

It's really good. Not a big epic romance, but excellent storytelling with a side love story. ;)
