Um. Guh.

Reach Out and Touch Me, Merlin/Arthur

Um. Okay. Hands up. Who watched this five times convinced you saw them mid coitus? Don't be shy. I know it's there.

...do they really spend that much time writhing sweatily in their beds?

Yeah.

The Definition of a Life Saved by

shinetheway, Merlin/Arthur - wow. It starts with a head injury and ends with a difficult truth. I just--have no words adequate to describe the punch at the end. A very good, slightly chilling punch.

Virginal by

kaneko, Merlin/Arthur - so unicorn is the euphemism everyone is using these days? Yes. It seems to be.

Coming of Age by

astolat, gen - the mythology alone woven through this would make it worth a drop everything and read, but the characterization is perfect. Sequel to Beltane, the legend of when a god bedded a human woman and what came of the child she bore.

Well, that was good for me. How 'bout you?

Because I just remembered it was there, too, and after posting have been reading back through to see what I missed....

overheardfandom moderated by

slodwick, is a sort of

metaquotes for fangirls. This is a very subtle way to inspire posting there, since lets face it, who among us really wants to do work when we can read funny things?

Thought not.

Go. Post funny things. Don't make me actually work today, plz. I will post fic in exchange!

(Note: Got Dance Dance Revolution 2 for Child's Birthday. Did you know that the training module grades you? Did anyone know I used to get really competitive when I was in high school regarding grades? I bet you can guess how that went. OMG so much fun. You know, when I could move again after collapsing on the couch begging for an oxygen mask or death. Also, I only got up to a B. Bastards.)

Title: So Are They All, All Honourable Men
Author: Seperis
Codes: Arthur, Merlin, Morgana, Gwen, Gaius, Uther, Arthur/Merlin
Rating: NC-17
Spoilers: season one
Summary: Considering Arthur's future wife will be chosen less for compatibility than for her political value, Merlin may be the only marriage he'll have that won't end in bloodshed or a great deal of fortifying wine.
Author Notes: My thanks to

green_grrl and

elke_tanzer for beta and remarks and lots and lots of poking and to

transtempts for encouraging the entire thing. And a special thanks to

oxoniensis for picking away the Americanisms with great patience and my solemn promise that should you ever agree to do so again, I will use *five* variations of 'got' just for you. Promise. Thank you very, very much.

That's why he goes bad, you know -- all the good people hit him on the head or try to shoot him and constantly mistrust him, while there's this vast cohort of minions saying, We wouldn't hurt you, Lex, and we'll give you power and greatness and oh so much sex...
Wow. That was scary. Lex is like Jesus in the desert.

Obi-Wan has a sort of desperate, pathetic patience in this movie. You can just see it in his eyes: "My padawan is a psychopath, and no one will believe me; I'm barely keeping him under control and expect to wake up any night now to find him standing over my bed with a knife!"

It's weird, after you get used to the affection you get from a rabbit, it's like any other BDSM relationship. Only without the sex and hot chicks in leather corsets wielding floggers. You'll grow to like it.

Rule 3. Chemistry is kind of like bondage. Some people like it, some people like reading about or watching other people doing it, and a large number of people's reaction to actually doing the serious stuff is to recoil in horror.
