First off, let me make a few things clear:
1st - These are in no particular order (in terms of how good they are or anything else).
2nd - This is for Kit who requested a rec list. (Hai Kit!)
3rd - Um...I don't really have a third. I just don't like ending in even numbers.
Oooh warnings:
- Almost all will be AUs
- Almost all of them are NC-17
- Almost all will have spoilers
- All are Arthur/Merlin
- THIS IS NOT A DEFINITE LIST. In fact, I'll probably be adding more and more as time passes.
Begin!
Title:
The Student PrinceAuthor: FayJay
Word Count: 150,000
Summary: A Modern day Merlin AU set at the University of St Andrews, in which Arthur is still a handsome prince, and Merlin is still an inexperienced wizard, and history has a habit of repeating itself...
Why you should read it: Cuz it's fuckin' awesome. Really if you want a long read you should read this (it's also available as an audiofic if you google it). It has a whole lot of character development because of the length and lots of BAMF magic-Merlin and a shit-load of royal!Arthur. Oh and Morgana is awesome. All in all, this fic had just about everything (humor, angsty-drama, action, sexy times) and is definitely a must read for any Merlin fan.
Title:
Smitten (The amazing audiofic by
eosrose can be found
here)
Author: Chicaintcheap
Word Count: 9,000 (audiofic is about 1.20 minutes)
Summary: When Merlin, a demon, and Arthur, an angel, meet in Vegas and wake up married, all Hell breaks loose.
Why you should read it: Because it's absolutely brilliant. The entire concept of the story was original and it was executed very well. It's not all that well known but definitely deserves to be read.
Title:
At least it would seem that we don'tAuthor: Derryere
Word Count: 15,800
Summary: "Arthur/Merlin, reincarnation, one time they get re-born as brothers."
Why you should read it: H.o.l.y.s.h.i.t. Okay, maybe I'm just a freak but this is one of my favorite fics ever. It's written so, so well. Merlin and Arthur are reborn as twin brothers and I honestly can't find words to express how much I enjoy this fic. If you haven't read this...well, just go read it now.
Title:
Where I End and You BeginAuthor: Suntipped
Word Count: 24,500
Summary: In which Merlin is Arthur's best friend's younger brother.
Why you should read it: So I was just browsing around some perverted innocent stuff on KinkMe Merlin when I found this beauty. Basically Arthur and Lancelot are best friends and (16 year old) Merlin is Lancelot's little brother. Angsty drama ensues. I don't know why this is not recced as much but it should be! Read it now~
