Whee

slashdragonsays!

...you are wondering wtf this is. Let me explain.

From the comm:

The "Slash Dragon Says You" challenge is fairly laid-back and will run for roughly two weeks, until Friday March 13th at 11:59:59 p.m. The basic idea is the inclusion of the slash dragon from Merlin in any fandom, with any ship, at any length, and with any rating.

Go here for more information. Read, mull, comment-fic. It makes the slashdragon happy!

(I am still coughing my lungs out in horrific ways, so am kind of late in posting this.)

First, a rec (I am contractually obligated to rec the writer that was one of the major reasons I was like "Oh my God Merlin, yes, please"):

The Tower by

astolat - Merlin/Arthur, I know, new and strange, but also, I roll over and die for sexual manipulation and magical manipulation and combining those two is like teh equivalent of drowning me in delicious. The thing is, if you ever want to know the kink that is both my biggest squick and most dramatic bulletproof at the same time, it's a remix I wrote about Rodney McKay molesting John Sheppard's mind while in hologram form and okay this is not about me but is about my kinks. I haven't even feedbacked yet. I keep stopping and going Christ, Merlin because also, Merlin is not rational here and wow, who knew I had a very special button for that? Yes, shocking.

( spoilers for story, thoughts on Merlin, random )

In thematic celebration of my life as a germ incubator and wishing for less congestion now, kthx:

Merlin recs! Yes, you can see how I would very naturally go this direction.

Sick Leave by

waldorph wins for Best Portrayal of Miserable Sickness and How It Should Be Dealt With Like, Ever. I do not envy Merlin at all whatsoever. Not even a little. Lucky bastard.

The Route to Advancement by

magog_83 for Most Fun Use of a Sort Of OC and Bonus Drunken Merlin FTW, because this is adorable and I need to wallow in adorable like you have no idea.

Oh look! And here is more!

As If You Have a Choice by

fadagaski, who wins for Most Freaking Adorable Balls of Light In the Literal And Non Metaphorical Sense Ever and Oh My God How Could This Be More Adorable Unless It Involved Yarn and Kittens Frolicking In the Background. Seriously. Usually my comfort fic involves mass murder. I am pleased to report today my comfort fic is actually, y'know, adorable.

Maybe it's the congestion? IDK. Stay tuned during my slow and inevitable decline. By Sunday, pretty sure my usual ficcish homicidal tendencies will return and Merlin will take like, Gaul in Arthur's name or something. Don't say you wouldn't like it. I like just thinking about it. And Iceland. Can't forget fucking Iceland. As I continue to ponder why the fuck would anyone conquer Iceland? I'm not saying it's not a great country and all, but strategically speaking, how does one look at a map (why would Iceland even be on the map?) and say, I know, Ireland, Wales, Gaul, Spain, ooh, Iceland! Let's get that one too! In tiny boats! We have enough geometry and astronomy to not get lost and find India! Not like we don't have interior plumbing or regular baths anymore, we can totally pull off that kind of trans-Atlantic trip for a country that is by Greenland that we dont' know exists yet!

I'm sorry, this just bothers me. Take that as you will.

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!"
-- Teague, reviewing "Star Wars: Attack of the Clones"

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.
