Merlin Pimpin' Time!
My two new favourite Merlin fics (poached from accioscar's Epic Merlin Post of Epicness v2.0!) are as follows:
Easy There by syllic
Arthur is an Oxford Blue. Merlin is an Oxford cox. Lancelot is Merlin's romantic-dalliance-loving friend. Morgana is horribly clever; Gwen is cleverly waiting for Lancelot to grow up. Merlin and Arthur rub each other the wrong way, at first, but it soon becomes clear that Arthur is a university-class rower with a world-class heart (yes, I typed that). Clichés ensue.
I knew nothing about rowing (I do now) but I still enjoyed every single word of this fic. It made me snack. That's how good it is.
Keep Calm and Carry On by chibirhm
How Arthur Pendragon, Director of Communications for Prime Minister Gaius, and his assistant, Merlin Emrys, fell in love - a story in goldfish, cats, webcomics, cups of tea, and sharpies.
I'm so overjoyed to have found another fandom where political AUs work (HP being the other). Again, loved every word. So well written.
