Again super busy this weekend, so I missed most of the Merlin 1.10 massive squee/flail-athon. (I have nothing to add but EEE.)

What was I doing? I saw Twilight on Friday, finally checked out the New Museum, saw some pretty decent one-act plays, and spent almost all day Sunday volunteering to set up/attending the GLAAD OutAuction. Fun times, though I'm pretty exhausted and the only thing that's keeping me going right now is the thought that it's a half week at work thanks to Thanksgiving.

ANYWAY, that said, have some (surprise) Merlin recs for your Monday morning!

Treason to Us by janne_d (Arthur/Merlin, PG-13)

This is THE best take on Arthur finding out about Merlin's magic I've read yet. This story is also like a clean brutal kick to the chest, and I mean that in the best way possible. It's a brilliant Arthur POV, quite deftly restrained and all the more powerful for it. (Also, it's fairly close to how I see this playing out in the show. *wibble*) Highly recommended. If you haven't read this already, GO. NOW.

Then, after that, to make yourself feel better there's ras_elased's Five Secrets Merlin Knows About Arthur (Arthur/Merlin, NC-17). Charming, delightful and very cute.

Both of these are from merlin_flashfic, which clearly I need to start paying more attention to.

Woo! That's nice to hear- I sometimes feel like I'm just spamming everyone with OMG GO READ THIS MERLIN FIC.
