Merlin Recs

FIC:
you and i by lyryk Merlin/Arthur [NC-17,warnings] (2.2k)
Summary: An anonymous encounter. Canon-verse.

Awe, man – this was one of the beautiful surprises from kinkspiration’s crossdressing round. This fic is packed with my favourite kinks, anon sex, crossdressing, D/s, bondage, toys, finger fucking... and all wrapped into a delicious package of 2.2k of panty melting goodness.

Good, Giving, and Gwaine by junkshop_disco Merlin/Gwaine [NC-17, crossdressing] (4k)
Summary: If Merlin had known Gwaine was about to catch him looking at men in corsets, he’d have written to Dan Savage for advice on how to explain that ever since he can remember, he’s had a bit of a thing for men in ladies’ things.

I love everything about this fic. Merlin’s embarrassment at being caught looking at pics of guys in lingerie was so spot on, then Gwaine’s reaction to it was all *hearteyes* and sexy. And um... the sex? Those images will be in my brain forever. GUH.

Sweep the Ashes Dry by significantowl Merlin/Gwaine [PG] (5.6k)
Summary: In which Gwaine is a private investigator who does his research, Merlin is a psychic who helps people no-one else can, and there’s much more going on in the Barrel & Stake than meets the eye.

This is a wonderful action/adventure for Merlin and Gwaine. A fun ghost story with the background of investigator!Gwaine being fascinated with psychic!Merlin while the two try to figure out what is really happening around them. I would love to see this turn into a series.

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

yeah... that was damn awesome. between junkshopdisco's Gwaine and lyryk's Arthur???? I was in kink heaven.

and I still have half the gwaine quests to get through!

I haven't read all the quest fics. significantowl's was for my prompt though, and I couldn't have been happier with it. It's going on my re-read all the time forever list.

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

Oh, i didn't realise it was for your prompt. /oblivious.

I just saw your rec and popped it to the top of my to read list. :P

I'm not even sure we're supposed to say if the prompts were ours! I left a big flaily comment and mentioned that it was my prompt and then I was like errrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

We don't mind if you say afterwards - we just decided to post them without names on so anyone picking the prompt up would use it as a jumping-off point rather than having that gift-exchange feeling of wanting to please the prompter/having angst about 'oh but it's them and they don't like...' etc. :D.

Oh good!

I like the name-less prompt thing a lot. I love gift exchanges but it's really hard not to obsess over the recipient and angst about it.

[junkshop-disco.livejournal.com]

Exactly. merlin_holidays is my first time writing anything more than 500 words for a gift-exchange - so much angst about trying to narrow down what they might like. Which is stupid, because I know that when I see my gift I'll be just be so chuffed with whatever it is because someone made it for me.
