jasmassonHappy day recs:
Pendragon Day: Arthur/Merlin, Modern AU, R, 20k words. Wow. A little way through, I thought I knew where this was going and then, no, because this story is not that predictable thing. I finished this one and stared for a while at the screen thinking... I just don't know how I feel about that, but I do know you should all read it. Brilliant writing - 20k words for a one night party, very skilled. It's AU - you don't need to know a thing about Merlin.
Camelot's Sweethearts: Arthur/Merlin, Modern AU, R, 63k words. And this one is just delightful - Arthur a movie star (I'm a sucker for that trope) and Merlin his long-suffering PA.
The Tale of Bran the Blessed: (no, not the tale of Brian Blessed, as I first read it). Gen, PG, 5k words. Nice, and amusing. This line I found really lovely.
They'd never quite got back to the same dynamic they'd had before Arthur had discovered his magic, and although Arthur had finally stopped banishing Merlin after the fifth time, they were still feeling their way through the territory of...whatever they now were. The less Arthur treated him like a servant, the more Merlin wanted to serve him. Arthur had given him his own quarters and an entire beautiful solarium in which to do his work, and the only thing he wanted was to lay his head upon Arthur's knee and ask to be allowed to go on hunts with him once more. Yeah. You got me.
