Just a quick little something, holiday stress is still at full swing here chez casa [personal profile] lab. Still behind on [community profile] merlin_holidays and [community profile] weiss_kreuzmas and I haven't checked 3sentence in ages, not to mention the steady flow of stories at [community profile] merlinxarthur and [community profile] girlgay! So many stories, so little time.


Fiction

Merlin

every shade of him by [profile] eyesofpanda, G, Merlin/Arthur.Merlin's heart beats for Arthur, and his magic sings for the King. I love achy and sweet non-reveal stories, and this one hits the spot.

Weiß Kreuz

[profile] wk_100's end of year drabble exchange has started and this fandom proves once again that it. never. dies. Tenacious just like our flower-arranging, sweater-wearing assassins.

2012 by [profile] dr_silverrose, G (secondary character death), Crawford, Schuldig. “Another gift for me?” Mwahaha.

Deal with the devil by [personal profile] daegaer, R, Aya/Farfarello, implied non-con. Farfarello's smile is surprisingly sweet. Oh, Aya.

Art

Merlin

Twas the Night Before Christmas by Anonymous for [community profile] merlin_holidays, G, Merlin/Gwaine, Modern!AU, So not my pairing but I love the expressions and detailing on this one, the fact that Merlin sleeps with his music plugged in and that it's traditional media. Very sweet and warm.

10 icons by [profile] zauberkuenstler. I particularly like #6 but I have no space. Maybe I should make space.

Merlin

Borderlands by anonymous for [community profile] merlin_holidays, R, Merlin/Arthur, 10,000 words, When Arthur is separated from his knights by a mysterious fog on the Mercian border, he finds himself trapped in a place that seems to balance between dream and reality. To regain his freedom he must put his trust in one of Lord Bayard's closest men - a man who calls himself Merlin.

This story showed me that I'm really specific when it comes to my tastes in AUs. I need a fork, I cannot do pure Canon Era AUs where the positions of the characters in canon is different from the very beginning because it leaves the characters strangely without contours for me - they're not Merlin and Arthur (whom I thought was way too polite given that we met an utter prat in S1) and the decontextualized setting (which is the point of the Borderlands, yes) only added to that.
