In which it's been too long
Hi and stuff, I hope you guys aren't having too stressful a December?
I've got family coming on the 20th, so the next fortnight is just gonna be my on my hands and knees (shut up) trying to make this place spotless.
Tis the season to get high on cleaning chemical fumes :\
Anyway, the point of this entry? Some fic recs for you! You've still got it, Merlin writers ♥
This tumblrfic by skellerbvvt (PG, possibly M/A pre-slash). I don't think it has a name. But it's about Merlin being a cyborg, so where can you go wrong, I ask you? The best news? Skeller is apparently writing more. Moooooore.
Hold On To What We Are by anonymous to be revealed at a later date (M/A, NC-17, ~11k). Four words: zombie apocalypse Christmas fic. If that doesn't float your boat, you can't be helped, I'm afraid. This is lovely writing right here, with the author cleverly balancing grim and domestic, isolation and camaraderie.
Ancient Methods of Roasting Chickens by fleete (PG-13, OT4, ~6k). Gah, this fic. Not ashamed to say I had happy tears in my eyes at end. This is everything you could want from a reincarnation fic. The relationships between the four are complex and hard and there are consequences in every life; long-lasting from their first lives, to immediate and dangerous in specific time periods they're reborn into. And the author's take on magic is just gorgeous. It's sparse, but every time it was mentioned, I got a little starry-eyed. Anyhoo, read this if you want your soul to sparkle.
