All the AU's!

[cocoplumb]

Hi guys, I'm looking for a few things and wondering if you could help me :) I've not read many Merlin fics (shame on me I know) so you can throw litterally anything at me that is remotely close to any of the following.

1. Barber or hairdresser AU stories. I've read Hair by bunnysworld which was awesome (and the sequel) and now I need more! So
