merlin recs, the continuing adventures
Slowly but surely, I am clearing my rec this damn thing list.
And In His Hands, A Weapon by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
laceymcbain - okay, the thing is, Merlin is doing to me what QaF did. I have no freaking clue how to define gen and slash, and a very real part of me wants to break them all down to "They are not fucking yet" and "They are totally doing it". We'll say gen option one and go with that. That said.
I love this fic. It has an evil sorceress, and Merlin being very brave and Arthur being very awesome, and they're adorable and sometimes, you just look at them and think, they are the stuff of legend and kinda feel afraid and yet warm. It's like proof that that idiotic guy in freshman English who joined a frat and lived on nachos and the guy you know exists outside chem class but can't prove it really do learn to interact with other people and then save the world. Or fake it extraordinarily well. My love for this fic is pure and involves puppies and rainbows. Also, Arthur is fighting with a sword. If you are not aware the fastest way to gain my attention is Arthur earnestly trying to kill things, you have not been reading here long.
(See Sheppard, John, with gun. I rest my case.)
I'll Be the Platform Shoes byraphaela667 - Modern Political AU - I have no way to articulate that this story charms me into re-reading it pretty much three times a week. It's just incredibly adorable. It's adorable in ways that haven't been invented until now. This is my comfort fic.
Aftermath byshinetheway - a wonderfully sweet, wonderfully wistful look at Arthur after Valiant, and Merlin being incredibly, awesomely Merlin. There is a lot of Totally Platonic Really touching. There is oil. I--you see why the word 'gen' just really no longer applies?

From:And hey, you're good at this -- can you think of a time (in canon) when John and/or Rodney came close to tears (other than Grace Under Pressure)? I swear to whoever is listening I will finish these two vids and then WILL NEVER VID AGAIN.

From:And you want Merlin so much you have no idea. You will love it here. Dragons Made Them Do It is almost like canon!

From:Also, I forgot to comment earlier, but I like the new icon. Not that I wasn't insanely fond of Fraser as well, but damn, Bradley James is insanely good looking (There's one or two angles from which he looks like a weasel, but as I am obsessed [and capable of exercising selective reality powers], this is not actually a turn off).

From:I love your recs, and I agree, STUFF OF LEGEND. Also, fighting things earnestly with a sword makes me squee too. Or you know, him just being generally badass is not a hardship to think about/look at.

From:I know what you mean. That's why my own Merlin rec list has such delightful categories as (Merlin/Arthur), (Merlin&Arthur), (Gen, Merlin/Arthur), (Merlin/Arthur, Preslash), (Gen + Subtext), and (Merlin&Arthur, Gen + Subtext). *sigh*
