Merlin recs and links
I'm sorry non-Merlin people. I will eventually settle down and talk about other things again. Maybe how Sarah Connor Chronicles is hit and miss this season. Or how much Friday Night Lights is just not my show anymore without Smash. He was my emotional focal point, and I miss Smash so damn much every second of every episode that he is not on my screen anymore. Or maybe Gossip Girl and how much Dan and Serena annoy the crap out of me. Or Dexter, or... no, not SGA. I actually do not care about SGA anymore. I still watch it, and I still love - and will love - the team, but I delete the episode the moment I am finished. I'm done; I can't do it anymore. Or how trying out SPN was a bad fucking idea. Anyway, back to Merlin!
cupidsbow wrote a Merlin overview for crack_van and she is going to drive the crack van this month. So keep your eyes peeled; she gives good recs. You can subscribe to the Merlin tag here.
And wistfuljane put together a resource post with links to communities, picspams, recs, primers, etc. It's a great place to point people at if you want to lure them into the fandom. Just sayin'. *g*
There's a Merlin wiki! I did not know there was a Merlin wiki. It has character infos, episode synopsis, etc.
And of course there is Fanlore's Merlin page.
My baby, merlin_meta, had its first proper discussion: about how Arthur sees Merlin.
And now recs. You can find them in the updated index post, too. Also, I'm in the process of transferring all my recs to delicious. Though that will take forever, I'm afraid.
Fic:
Meteorology by mercurial-wit [Arthur, Merlin, gen - PG-13 - 4600 words]
Shippers, don't let the 'gen' label fool you, this is Merlin after all. This fic deserves a rec just for the "Utherhorse" alone. There is a lot of character insight hidden under the surface witticism.
Outing Merlin With Feeling - A Tribute and Obvious Rip Off of Buffy's Once More With Feeling by selina_ [Arthur/Merlin - NC-17]
I dare you not to laugh.
Out of the Wreckage by elandrialore [Arthur/Merlin - R - 708 words]
The sequel to her heartbreaking No Choice but This.
One Half by themollyedge [Arthur/Merlin - PG-13 - 720 words]
Future fic. A total mood piece: full of quiet, longing wistfulness.
A Shooting Star I Have Embraced by themollyedge [Morgana/Uther - PG-13 - 240 words]
Niiice. With just the right edge of wrongness to it.
Art:
draykonis coloured her older Merlin & Arthur sketch and it is even more lovely now.
pentapus drew Morgana, and of course it is adorable and I love it.
Vids:
Beverly Hills by giandujakiss [Merlin, ensemble]
If this vid doesn't make you grin like a fool, there is something wrong with you.
Every Fear You've Ever Faced by the-orange-nin [Arthur/Merlin]
A mood piece more than anything: beautiful and haunting.
