seperis | so it's friday, it's not like i have anything else to do atm (Reply)

A few quick recs. Because I'm waiting for a query at work and madness starts when I voluntarily read CNN for the articles.

Needlework by

zarathuse, Merlin/Arthur - ooh, let me count the ways I love this. Magic. Merlin's father. Bonding. Immortality. And a needle. Also, pitch perfect dialogue and such, such, such good characterization you have no idea. And the plot's wonderful.

Inside Out by

franticsga, Merlin/Arthur - modern AU, and clubbing and funny and awesome. And I do believe Merlin cannot dance, but I would dearly give a lot to see it.

Practical Volitation by

allothi, Merlin/Arthur - to say this made me laugh out loud is an understatement. Merlin learns to fly via motivational conditioning. You'd be surprised what he uses as motivation, though.

When Trust Is a Thing Not Given and Water Is Taught By Thirst by

aelora, Merlin/Arthur - she also wins for best title of the week on the latter--did I mention I have a thing for titles?--and an intriguing set of stories following along with Merlin's reveal and what comes after.

Practical Adventures and Auspicious Pursuits by

stillane, Merlin/Arthur - it starts with goats. I mean, to say I knew by then this would be great is like saying putting my foot in water means I know it will get wet. And then there are spiders. My love for the action/adventure side of Merlin is very, very pure.

Obesiance by

casspeach, Merlin/Arthur - in answer to the knee-walking challenge, this one is excellent. Merlin is loaned to another lord during his visit. We do not need to be told it does not go well, because honestly, how could it go right? Cass just does awesome things with this idea, and it's now a regular re-read.

It would probably be overkill to start a new journal specifically for the purpose of housing my recs so I don't have to feel guilty that I am four fandoms behind in updating my rec page? Overkill? No? Maybe?

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.
