Would anyone object to a revival of attheroundtable? I don't know what interest there is for the comm to move forward, but as season two is upon us, I thought it would be a good idea to make this comm work again!
Unfortunately RL and fandom has been a bit insane for me this month, which has left me less time for reading Merlin fics. I still have a decent sized handful of recs for you though.
Night and Light and the Half Light by the_moonmoth arthur/merlin | pre-slash; gen | PG | 13,000 | le morte d‘arthur “Arthur doesn’t know,” Morgana said, too quickly, and for some reason Arthur felt as though the bottom had just dropped out of his stomach.
Arthur finds out type of story. It’s a very well written gen/pre-slash story told from Arthur’s POV.
This fic was written for reel_merlin and it’s basically a retelling of Princess Diaries 2. This time, it’s Merlin who is the Prince, Morgana is his grandmother and Lancelot is a girl. It’s very enjoyable read, even though that the characters are slightly OOC.
Two Weeks Notice by ras_elased arthur/merlin | slash | au | nc-17 | 37,600 Arthur is a prattish Executive VP of the Pendragon Corporation with a disturbingly non-ironic love of Demotivational posters. Merlin is a tree-hugging barista with a "magic" tongue. Morgana's a peeping Tom and her breasts have superpowers.
Another fic written for reel_merlin. Even though it’s an modern!AU, Merlin and Arthur’s voices are spot-on and the whole story is very lovely.
In Fruition byspiny (Merlin/Arthur, ~ 7,000 words), Arthur is jealous and foolish almost to the point of disaster, but he makes it up to Merlin in a very nice way.
Obedience bybookshop (Merlin/Arthur, ~ 1,200 words) has one underpants-melting blowjob. 'Nuff said.
Keeping Up Appearances by yavannauk (Merlin/Arthur, ~ 500 words) is a short but scorching ficlet about Merlin being a *very* improper servant.
Speaking of blowjobs, the latest chapter in frantic_allonsy 's Be Resigned series (Merlin/Arthur, 12 out of 14 chapters completed) contains the incredibly hot culmination of months of yearning between Merlin and Arthur.
The Horse and His (Co-Star's) Boy (Colin/Bradley RPS, ~ 4,800 words) byspiny has one incredibly oblivious Bradley, one unfortunately named horse, and one scorching hot scene.
And finally, there's the porn smorgasboard in astolat 's Favorite (Merlin/Arthur, ~ 13,300 words), which is like one fantastic, long PWP, in the best sense of the term.
Enjoy!

No real theme to my recs this month. Just a stack of fics and vids that I have enjoyed since my last post. Like last time there is a mixture of FPS and RPS. It's all labelled up *g*
Well spring seems to have sprung in London (just about) so I thought it would be nice to have a selection of light, funny and romantic stories. Something gentle to drift into the evening with. All are Merlin/Arthur and spoilers can probably be assumed for the whole series.
Hi everyone, I'm one the monthly reccers here. I managed to miss February by a few days. So sorry!! I promise I'll make another post before March is over to redeem myself.
Anyway, because this fandom has turned my usually Diehard OTP self into a multishipper, today I'm recing a few things that aren't just Merlin/Arthur. Enjoy!
Hello! Since this is my first rec post as a permanent reccer, I wanted to introduce myself a little bit. I fell for Merlin like a ton of bricks in November last year, and it slotted nicely into the place in my fannish heart where SGA used to reside. And luckily for me, many of my favorite SGA authors have migrated to the Merlin fandom, but I'm also discovering wonderful authors who are completely new to me. I hope that my recommendations reflect a good mix of both established authors and fannish newcomers. Fic-wise, I'm pretty omnivorous though my favorite pairings are Merlin/Arthur, Gwen/Morgana, and Bradley/Colin. And I generally favor stories with a happy ending, but only if that happy ending is earned. All right, on with the show.
I LOVE AUs. Love them. My favorites are those that manage to transpose fully intact the characters' personalities and relationships with each other to completely foreign settings. ( Hence, modern AUsCollapse )
