[afortunatefew]

Hello! I'm looking for Merlin/Arthur fics that you love and think are brilliant but that aren't considered the 'fandom staples' or don't often get recced or suggested here because i think i've probably already read the majority of those. So, yeah, bascially just your favourite under-appreciated fics please

-Silent Night, They never meant for it to happen - it shouldn’t have happened, not ever, but especially not then, not like that.

-Take Away the Stone and the Timber, I blame this on the boogie Granny Weatherwax and Watchmen combined. Merlin gets a pet owl, and soon finds it easier to fly away (literally) than face the rigours and problems of the real world. And then Arthur angsts.

-When All is Said and Done, Arthur is sent to observe the therioscopic department when a drug breakthrough seems imminent, only to find that one of his employees is hiding a startling number of secrets.

-To Possess the Habitation of Your Soul, Cornelius gives it another try, in a Mephistophelean way. Sort of an episode coda.

-The New Doctor, Luddite AU. Nottingham, 1812. Arthur Pendragon is the son of the richest Mill-Owner in town and a little bit of a spoilt prat. He has to face unrest among the workers, his father's unrelenting attitude towards them, which he knows might cause trouble since the Luddite movement has made itself heard, and his inexplicable interest in young Doctor Emrys.

-No Loyal Knight and True, Neither of them can resist; neither can turn away.

-One Sister's Vow, When Special Auror Merlin Emrys is forced to protect Muggle Arthur Pendragon, he assumes that the job will be an easy one. Then he meets the man, and he just might kill Arthur before anyone else can.

-There's No Makebelieving, The first time Morgana's step-brother and her flatmate meet, Arthur throws up on Merlin's shoes. And that might be the highlight of their relationship.

-Fit For a Prince, Modern au, Merlin is a rather hard to please high fashion designer, Arthur is his surprisingly patient and well-read model. Fashion babble and snark ensue, and maybe even love.
