Want and Won't Are Easily Confused

I will not sign up for Merlin Big Bang. I will not sign up for Merlin Big Bang. I’m not even done watching S3, so I will most definitely not sign up for Merlin Big Bang. Nope. But if anyone signed up? I will cheerlead. And also, I would happily accept Merlin recs because it’s been aaaaaages since I read a good Merlin story.

Yay ficrecs!! I should probably be asleep rather than reading fic right now though, dang. On the upside, I now have something to look forward to for the coming weekend :D (And that bar!fic? I remember reading it, and it is multiple kinds of hilariously awesome.)

Pah. You can sleep when you're dead! Sleep is overrated. (And you mean the one with Catherine, right? *g*)

[zarah5]

Probably nothing new, though. I tend to discover stories ages after everyone else has read them...

And I heard about that story - someone already recced it, I think. Just, I don't know. I probably need to get over the premise, which kind of doesn't really appeal to me.

I abhorr meta and give it as wide a berth as possible.
But this story, it's so wonderful and hits on so many points in fandom and Merlin in this one? represents so many of us.
Might not be your cup of tea after all, but I'd give it a try.

Oh gos, thank you for the recs. ♥

[zarah5]

Yo, you have no one to blame but yourself! ;)

I would so totally suspend my disbelief for anything you write.

Yes, MA'AM! *salutes crisply*

*wibbles* I could set it in the jungle! Banter over intercom! Danny insulting Steve while simultaneously making sure (tracking enemy movement via infrared and satellite cameras) that Steve will safely return to him!

Oh, oh! Their first meeting in an office setting, being introduced at headquarters. Steve is late and wearing his usual casual clothes, and Danny takes one look at him and asks their boss, "You're kidding me, right? Chin, I'm a professional. I'm the best you have. You are not pairing me up with someone who doesn't take this seriously."

"He's good at what he does, as good as you are. Trust me." Chin leans back with a wide smile. "You should be evenly matched."

Steve, having watched the exchange with an amused curl to his mouth (and okay, it's a pretty mouth, Danny has to give him that), comes forward. When they shake hands, he gives Danny's tie a slightly derisive glance, and Jesus, Chin must be out of his fucking mind because there is no way this partnership will work.

It's ALREADY awesome!!!

Chin leans back with a wide smile. "You should be evenly matched." ahahahahahah I love his Smug

[zarah5]

I think Chin would be a fantastic boss - tough but fair, and with enough sense of humor to be smug.

So, okay! Let's see. If the operation fits, you can basically get anyone from any unit, if that agent is available? So they could bring Steve in to work with Danny as long as Steve is capable of doing the job, even if Steve is usually based somewhere else?

I wonder, though - could I get with an op set in, like, Venezuela? SEALs do work the entire world, as far as I know, but probably not in countries the US is supposedly not at war with... Maybe Cuba would be a good middle ground. (I mean, I might not have to go into too much detail; this would be more for myself so that I feel like my story's based on a somewhat solid basis...)
