Colin Morgan

wewerefighters made a lovely pic spam of the many faces of Colin: From cute one moment to beautiful the next. From gentle smile to sparkling laughter. From soft to intense. From silly to serious. From mischievous to outraged. One moment with a teddy bear, the next with a chocolate 'painis'. He's really got quite a range!

LOTR

For those who didn't know yet: fennelseed's journal now is an archive for her fics, maintained by frodosweetstuff. For me Fennelseed's fics will always be the most fun and sexy LOTR fics I've ever read and I'm glad her former journal is being used this way :D

Merlin

'Sweltering' by astolat (Arthur/Merlin, NC-17)
Written for the Pornbattle IV. Slow and sensual, with a topping Merlin.

'Moment of weakness' by twobees (Arthur/Merlin, NC-17)
Arthur is an indignant drunk, Merlin is annoyed and still they're having enthusiastic and playful sex.

'Three tasks' by syllic (Arthur/Merlin, NC-17)
I love how this story develops. It's hilarious first, and then somewhere along the line I went from laughing out loud to smiling. It turns so sweetly warm, with Arthur having these serious moments and Merlin observing him. I'm usually all about Merlin, but here I was rooting for Arthur something fierce, while also wanting all the best for Merlin. Which is exactly what they got.

'I could have been one of these things first' by hackthis (Arthur/Merlin, PG)
Merlin wingfic with Disney cross-over, and nothing actually happens that would make it anything other than PG rated, but it still had me squirming.

Merlin vids

'Exit music for a witch' by heyiya (Gen, Morgana, Nimueh, Sophia, PG)
I love the series to bits, but I do see how the women are being slapped down for their magic whereas the men generally get away with being assholes, and how this can be annoying enough for some to take away the fun. This vid offers some satisfaction in that respect; the women strike back.

'Drastically Redefining Protocol Trailer' by zoetrope (Arthur/Merlin, PG)
A fanvid at its best. Really, everything is just perfect about this vid, I could watch it on repeat. If you don't know the AU WIP by rageprufrock that this vid is a trailer for (then why the hell aren't you reading it yet?!); it's a modern day romance between prince Arthur and junior doctor Merlin. Zoetrope took behind the scenes clips and all sorts of footage with paparazzi and news flashes and cleverly mixed everything together. Plus; music by Badly Drawn Boy!! I just... *watches again*

SGA

'Straight guys' by almostnever (John/Rodney, NC-17)
Broke my heart and put it back together again.

SGA convention

A couple of weeks ago was the Pegasus 4 convention in Heathrow with Paul McGillion (Beckett), Chuck Campbell (Chuck). James Bamford (Bam Bam, Stunt co-ordinater), Christopher Heyerdahl (Todd) and Neil Roberts whom I don't know, and there are some fantastic reports by jhava over here and by beeej over here and here.

Oh! I hadn't read Sveltering yet, and I love it. Gives me all kinds of interesting mental pictures.

Yeah, I can see how that is really your kind of fic. Well, it's mine too, what with the languid movements and sweating and Merlin not knowing the meaning of boundaries, hmmm...
