Merlin recs

[fahye]

Yes! It's time for Fahye to prod you all in the direction of a fandom for a show which she has never seen! (Note: I am planning to watch it. Imminently. Episodes are being sourced.)

First off, I offer you an excellent pimping post.

There is also this video by mamoru22, which I linked to yesterday. If it does not make you grin like an idiot, there is no hope for you.

Apparently everyone has chemistry with everyone else (hurrah!) but fandom being fandom, it has zeroed in on the DESTINED TO BE SOULMATES, NO REALLY, JUST ASK THE GIANT DRAGON pairing of Merlin/Arthur.

- And Still by foreverdirt is a plotty adventure story with MAGIC and QUESTS and other great things. The fact that I am even considering a new fandom in the midst of OH GOD EXAMS ARGH time is entirely her fault.

- Controllable Things by ariastar is about Arthur's fear and Control Issues (the type of issues closest to my heart!) and man, I am so glad I wheedled Aria into this fandom.

- the way the sunshine gleams by snakevsladder is a slightly darker take on their relationship and Merlin's opinions. Mmm.

- I have reread MERLIN by moonythestrals a couple of times now, and it keeps getting funnier. It is a FRAT BOY AU and it is stuffed full of meta and beer and scriptwriting and Arthur's BlackBerry.

I also feel duty-bound to mention that lassiterfics and bedlamsbard are cowriting some kind of epic Narnia/Merlin thing, and in the meantime there is Aslan talking to the Dragon which is hilariously similar to what happened when Lucifer met Galadan that one time.

It would take a LOT more than that to make my brain hurt :) In my opinion the Arthurian mythos is there to be played with and twisted in interesting ways.

Fair enough... I guess a dragon makes up for a lot :)
