Bradley/Colin RPS and Something Funny
Title: Stanislavski Never Said Anything About Frocks
Author: lamardeuse
Pairing: Bradley/Colin
Rating: Explicit (sex)
Length: 5900
Summary: Drama school AU. Colin stays with a mate and his roommate Bradley in London for an audition. Bradley shows up in full drag (a silver lamé dress) for a party.
Boy, this is one of the hottest things I've read for awhile. The budding relationship portrayed is sweet and real, the banter is funny, and Colin's reactions to Bradley in drag are both hilarious and convincing. He's supposed to be straight at the beginning of this and the author does a good job of making us think he could actually be turned gay by Bradley in a dress (who wouldn't be?). Finally, the sex is super hot and feels very real. I wish she would write a sequel.
You have to be a member of bradleycolin to read this. It's also posted at merlinrpf here. (you have to be a member of that comm to read it also.)
I should probably just copy links to all of lamardeuse's stories over here, LOL. I don't think I've read one that wasn't very good.
Trivia note: I was exploring lamardeuse's back catalog and came across a Merlin vid she made to an early Beatles song. I HAD THE VERY SAME IDEA. I couldn't believe someone had actually made it. I thought it was pretty obscure. Great minds think alike. Except she actually made it. (*looking at hard drive full of entire Merlin episodes but completely devoid of Merlin clips and thinking of all the work it will take to make them*)
Title: i have no soul, i'm as cold as december, maybe twice as cold
Author: schmoooop
Pairing: Bradley/Colin
Rating: Standard
Length: Not too long.
Summary: wherein there is lots of rain, and Bradley is bothered by the oatmeal caking the side of Colin's face.
If you want heart-meltingly sweet RPS, schmoooop's the writer to go to. Not much happens in this other than the boys being really cute and adorable and sweetly falling in love. Lots of tender, exquisitely described moments. Takes place on set during a break.
And now for something completely different:
Title: We Apologize for Any Inconvenience Caused
Author: gold_macaw
Characters/Pairing: Arthur/Will (sort of), Arthur/Merlin
Rating: Standard
Length: 4800 words
Summary: (from author) Written for camelot_fleet prompt "Will/Arthur are in a marriage of convenience. UST ensues" (The UST isn't quite where the OP may have wanted it. Sorry.)
I just about died laughing when I read this. Arthur ends up marrying Will for political reasons and because there are no women around. Naturally, he and Merlin end up together. But the plot doesn't really matter. This is just the funniest thing ever.
