In conclusion, I've had a hangover all week. Maybe I should stop renewing it every night =_=

Word of the week: PEEN.

Weekly Round-Up
Titles in bold are extra-recommended ♥



Merlin recs

dragons, unicorns, and professor!Merlin by oteap (art)
Summary: Arthur&Merlin, G. Three doodles.
Notes: CUTE. oteap is great. Love her sense of humor.

'Tis a Pity He's a Whore by xaritomene (R, 28k)
Summary: Arthur/Merlin. Arthur is a rich business man - Merlin is the down-on-his-luck hooker he picks up almost by accident one night. Pretty Woman remix.
Notes: While this story won't bowl you over with fancy wordplay or anything, it doesn't really need it. This fic reads exactly like watching Pretty Woman but with Arthur and Merlin shacking up. And is that really so bad? The answer is NO, it's not bad. It's not bad at all! Cute and long with happy endings (of various sorts).

Trusty Steed, As Her Highness Commands, and Afterglow by lizardspots (art)
Summary: Arthur/Merlin, NC-17.
Notes: Arthur's hair!!!! And that's all I have to say about that.

Oh wait--and PEEN!

Freedom Hangs Like Heaven by derryere (NC-17, 9k)
Summary: Arthur/Merlin. It's happened five times and they don't talk about it. and OH HELLO THERE, ANGRY EMO YET INSECURE ARTHUR!
Notes: Angry and angsty and DRRTYHOT, complete with hair-pulling and fighting and boys being totally stupid. Yet...it's all so romantic. And hold out for the final scene, it will KILL YOU DED.

Caught by cherrybina (R, 2k)
Summary: Arthur/Merlin. Arthur and Merlin get caught in a net. Awkwardness ensues.
Notes: Arthur and Merlin are huge saps in this, WHICH I LOVE. This fic is all sorts of cute and naughty.

Inside Outright by franticsga (NC-17, 7k)
Summary: Arthur/Merlin. Club!AU. Arthur's a club owner and Merlin's a patron and they hook up, but it ends awkwardly and now they can't find each other anymore, SAD!
Notes: Fresh take on the modern!AU--no PA!Merlin or business tycoons here, just Merlin being adorably dorky and Arthur all manslutty and emo. I love me an emo!Arthur *__*

Grave Mistake by kick_flaw (NC-17, 7k)
Summary: Arthur/Merlin. Merlin acquires a ghost that follows him around, making TOTALLY INAPPROPRIATE comments concerning his proclivities (and peen).
Notes: AHAHA YOU WILL LOVE THIS. The writing is so damned cheeky...which isn't all that surprising, considering that ifyouweremine (the Queen of Cheekiness) was her beta. The ghost is hilarious and his commentary is absolute gold. Only thing is, I found the writing a little disjointed, and less in the purposeful-transitioning kinda way and more "Wait, what? *backtracks*" kinda way. But WTV, that should not deter you in the slightest. This story is funny as fuck and hot as hell.
