Since
summerpornathon has just started posting (first batch of the stories is now up
HERE - GO AND READ AND VOTE!) it's only fair I devote this week's recs to ALL THE PORN.
Porn is a tricky thing - some things work for some and don't for others, ones' kinks are other people squeeks etc. so proceed with caution with these fics and read the warnings authors have put.
If I were to make a list of the best Merlin porny-moments for me it would surely consists of things like the rimming scene in
"Good News (Is on the way)" by Derryere (fucking hell), or goodbye-sex scene in
"Seasons" by LolaFeist (also rimmnig like WHOA), all the desperate dry-humping in
"Accidental Memory in Case of Death" by Derryere, or Colin saying "I can’t not do this with you." to Bradley in
"Colin's List" by JunkshopDisco (there's also
UNFy beautiful ART by albymangroves that goes with this sentence)... But there are so many!
Below you'll find some of my most favorite older porny fics and one super-fresh one.
As usual, I keep thinking that I must have forgotten about something very important - please tell me WHICH STORIES WOULD YOU ADD?
Merlin the Druid King by halfhardtorock (littlesleepfic, onelittlesleep)
Arthur/Merlin | Words: 12326 | Explicit | Canon era AU
Summary: So this is an au about Uther giving over his only son and heir to the powerful Druid king to keep war from erupting in Albion. Of course, this causes...OTHER things to erupt. Har har.
Also, Merlin's bored and slutty.
Why I rec: In many ways Littlesleepfic (Onelittlesleep) is THE QUEEN OF PORN for me. No one writes porn like she does. Mind-blowing good.
There is so much good I can say about this story--Arthur's slave-like status makes me shiver, Merlin's playful ways are just perfect, the careful seduction, rejection and curiosity are all mixed together in this one. I love how it's all happening in the sacred woods, how Druidy everything is but also how normal in a way. I love how incredibly powerful Merlin is in this story and how lost too, a boy in a way and how roles reverse and Arthur has to take care of him, too.
Be sure to not miss the little add-on to the fic:
Druid King 'verse pwp which is the quintessence of porn. Just. I have no words (also - my first Merthur fic ever ;)
EDIT: Littlesleep has locked her LJ but moved her beautiful fics to A03, so I changed the link. Druid King is there so YAY! Not sure if the little PWP outtake is there too, but she might still upload this one :)
The Great Winter by halfhardtorock (littlesleepfic)
Arthur/Merlin | Words: 9162 | Explicit | Canon era AU
Summary: It's the Little Ice Age. OR. The Great Winter, when the Pendragon's are forced to bed down for a month under furs until the weather is warm again. Arthur's only seen the Great Winter in babyhood. Now, he must find a proper Royal Bedwarmer to share his Winter's rest with. It's a little plotty and a little silly, which is sort of my goto style in this fandom.
Why I rec: And if I'm recing Littlesleep I can't omit this super-sweet (and only a little bit less porny) story! It's a heart-warmer/loins-warmer/bed-warmer! :D If you feel like reading about boys being trapped under the covers for the longest winter of their lives this is the perfect story. No warnings for this one I think! :)
Southern Comfort (part of the
Waffles series) by LolaFeist
Arthur/Merlin | Words: N/A | R | Canon era AU
Summary: Merlin is still drunk when he wakes up. Gwaine is fucking Arthur on the bed beside him. Life is awesome.
Why I rec: This is the hottest threesome I've ever read. Holly UNF. This is unbelievably hot. And lovely too. I really don't know what to say other than - I was not coherent while reading this. *fans self* (also - the whole series is good! also - EVERYTHING by LolaFeist is perfection).
Wonder (
series) by Violette_Royale
Arthur/Merlin | Words: 12468 | Explicit | Canon era AU
Summary: Merlin is sixteen, and a virgin. He's got something that Arthur wants.
Why I rec: This was just IMPOSSIBLY UNF! And all the sweetness to it! All the sweet infatuation, love even, the beginning of love anyway ;) I loved the slow scenes, the sensuality of it all, everything building up. And Arthur - I can't even start on how I loved this older!Arthur - with his endearments for Merlin, self-confidence, gentleness, strength. Oh Gosh. This story left me breathless and made me go and see other Violette_Royal's stories which is a total WIN (I think she might be the current Merlin-porn Queen, writing ALL THE KINKS! <3)
The sequel to it (
Given) in which "Merlin gives himself to Arthur" is just as perfect and gives the best of feels. It's hot and gentle and beautiful. Just gorgeous.
And They Come Willingly by sorrylatenew
Arthur/Merlin | Words: 4781 | Explicit | Canon era AU
Summary: Written for this KMM prompt: Foreign visitors from far away come to Camelot, and they bring with them boy whores who’ve got cunts. The visitors happily present the boys to Arthur during their first formal meeting (Merlin at Arthur’s side, as always), but he declines their company, massively turned on but also disturbed. Eventually, though, Merlin and Arthur frantically enjoy one of the boys together, not having realised the boys are magical sex creatures who draw men in.
Why I rec: Oh my gaaaaawd, this was utterly, gloriously, perfectly hot. I have no words. The idea of those creatures, the desire they provoke, the luscious, decadent yet primal want, the heat, the danger behind it all - just wow. Reading this felt like diving into a jar of the most delicious melted caramel cream - hot and sticky and you want to just lick it! And then there's Arthur imagining Merlin, ONLY Merlin - asfghhdaa!!!! I cannot handle this. Magnificent writing!
The Tied Series (Tied, Bound, Fettered) by Magnolia822
Arthur/Merlin | Words: 7267 | Explicit | Canon era AU
Summary: Merlin has been the prince's manservant for only about a week when he first sees it . . . the odd swell at the base of Arthur's cock.
Why I rec: This was my first knotting!fic and boy, was it hot and beautiful. The whole series is so so so good and hot. I love the language that is used in it - in a way canon-era-like which makes it twice as poetic and hot.
And to end with a super-fresh arrival:
Nubile by Violette_Royale
Arthur/Merlin | Words: 32733 | Explicit | Canon era AU
Summary: Arthur is fifteen when Merlin first helps him take care of his urges. It soon escalates, and they almost get caught. To keep his son on the straight and narrow, Uther has Arthur's cock pierced and locked into a chastity cage. The tension between Merlin and Arthur increases when Merlin is put in charge of milking Arthur's prostate. Eventually, everything comes to a head when they are forced to seek the help of the mysterious Catha to break a malicious spell aimed at the very heart of Camelot.
Why I rec: YAGSFAJSHGDF!!!!! This kept me up at night like whoa. And I lost a good bit of my day today, too, and I still can't stop thinking about this gorgeous porny story. It starts in a way that made me a little uncomfortable (I read it back on KMM), because it is clear that Merlin takes advantage of very underage Arthur (even if Arthur is soooo willing). But then as I read on it all evolved into a beautiful tale full of EVERYTHING. Honestly - EVERYTHING. We have Arthur's cock pierced and kept in a cage, Merlin milking him so he can get rid of excess seed. We have far-east-like splendor. We have Merlin-deadly super-trained assassin. Magic-sex-binding, body-painting, object-insertion, prostate-milking, Beltane-like rituals, cross-dressing, and SO MUCH LOVE.
AND NOW I AM OFF TO DIVE IN PORNATHON ENTRIES ;)
ps. As usual I am using my comments to the stories as recs - I'm sorry authors for not coming up with anything new! It's just that I can review something only RIGHT after I read it. My brain just doesn't store much nowadays O.o
ps. 2 Honestly though - please, tell me of what story I forgot because I can't with my brain!
