Making sounds. Only dogs. Can hear.

I feel like I'm spamming everyone lately, but it's been a while since I've done Merlin recs. (These two have been shamelessly stolen from nicolasechs.)

So you know how Christmas and the holidays were last week? WRONG. It turns out they forgot something and had to turn the car around and they’ve decided to stay longer and go get smashed with New Year’s Eve tomorrow.


What I’m saying is this:

astolat AND merryish WROTE MERLIN FIC.

I am flailing so hard right now I almost put my own eye out a moment ago.


Beltane by astolat (Merlin, Gen, PG)

This is such an awesome idea for Merlin's backstory, and very neatly told. Like most of astolat's stories, it's something that OF COURSE must have happened, why didn't I think of that before?? This is my personal canon now, k? GO READ IT BEFORE I FLAIL YOU TO DEATH.


The Feast of Sticks by merryish (Arthur/Merlin pre-slash, G)

I pretty much had a grin on my face from the first sentence on. merryish just nails both of them and the dynamics of their relationship. The dialogue practically sparkles and Arthur is just awesome and so is Merlin and if I don't stop myself I'm going to gush on for pages.
