Multifandom fic and vid recs and linkage

Colin Morgan
On November 16th 2008 Colin got the "Caron Keating Outstanding Newcomer Award" and gealach_ros has a clip (YouTube & download) and screencaps of the Colin moments of the show that November 30th 2008.


Merlin
'The common touch' by lamardeuse (Arthur/Merlin, NC-17)
Merlin talks Arthur into spending a day with him as a peasant among the common people. Because it could be fun, he says. He's also got other reasons. When this works out the way he hadn't quite dared to hope, they have to find a way to also make this work when things are back to normal.

'Be resigned' by franticsga (AU, WIP, Arthur/Merlin, NC-17 for series) has been updated with a couple of chapters and an extra snippet.
Chapter 10/14
Snippet set during 10/14
Chapter 11/14
Chapter 12/14

'Those deep places' by svilleficrecs (Arthur/Merlin, NC-17)
Mindblowing sex and tender gestures.

'Fruition (or the education of Arthur)' by spiny (Arthur/Merlin, NC-17)
I love how perfectly imperfect this is, and how Merlin step by step brings out the best in Arthur. And the sex is delicious.

'Easy there' by syllic (AU, WIP, Arthur/Merlin, NC-17)
Set in the present, Merlin and Arthur are members of the same elite rowing team of the Oxford University Rowing Club. This is written as a cliché-fic, so; initially they rub each other the wrong way, but soon enough there's plenty attraction between romantic day-dreamer with-a-secret Merlin and prat with-a-golden-heart Arthur. With lovely parts for Gwen, Morgana, Lancelot and Merlin's mom. Do read, and bite your nails while waiting for the next and final part.
We're now at part 3/4. From the link (to the first part) you can click on to the next and the next etc. Includes handy info about the world of rowing, which is well worth reading too.

'Pavlov penis' by derryere (Arthur/Merlin, NC-17)
An ode to comfortable beds. To sleeping and dreaming in them. To masturbating at leisure. To the way a pillow smells of the person who's slept on it. And to having someone in bed to crawl next to, have sex with and wake up with.


Merlin RPS
'The horse and his (co-star's) boy' by spiny (Bradley/Colin, NC-17)
Absolutely lovely. Hilarious and yet so adorable.

'Catch me' by glimmergirl (Angel/Katie, PG-13)
A happy, sparkling, giddy little ficlet with passionate kissing in the rain.

'Costume change' by glimmergirl (Bradley/Colin, PG-13)
Bradley has a thing for Colin's neck in this sensual little ficlet with lazy, dreamy and slow kissing.

RPS does not get to have a title by derryere (Bradley/Colin, NC-17)
Even though I'd seen this fic recced all over the place, even to me personally, by several people, it took me until last weekend to finally read it. Just ignore the nonchalance in the header because this fic is so worth reading. It's lovely, funny and incredibly tender.



Merlin vids
'Echo' by solanyxe (Arthur/Merlin, PG-13 for suggestive imagery)
All the delirious writhing and sweating that Arthur and Merlin are doing in the series has been put to good use in lots of vids. Combined with the pumping song choice, it works particularly well in this vid.

'Make U Smile' by wistful_fever (aka Farbella) (Bradley/Colin, G)
Words can not express how much I love this vid (but that doesn't stop me from trying anyway). It makes me giddy with that feeling of falling in love. Bradley's attempts at trying to get Colin. Colin's almost bashful smiles and then his mischievously sparkling eyes when he's teasing. I love the lyrics combined with what is shown; 'do I try too hard to make you smile, to make us smile'. As a matter of fact the images are picked perfectly to go with the lyrics.


SGA
'Abandon' by zinfic (John/Rodney, NC-17)
Now this hit a couple of my kinks hard and in the best possible way *sprawls in chair completely satiated*

'Sheppard's Law' by cesperanza (John/Rodney, NC-17)
The ultimate story of how John became who he is and how Rodney and John are meant to be together. Always. In every possible universe. Also it's clever, one to read again and again while picking something new out of it every time, it made me smile and gasp, has loads of UST, fantastic sex and it's deeply moving.

'Five things Rodney hates in a first kiss' by cathalin (John/Rodney, R)
Rodney has a list of things he doesn't like but then comes John.

'Do you know what I know?' by devildoll (John/Rodney, PG)
Happy drunk John makes Rodney happy, and a happy Rodney never fails to make me happy, so I ended up rereading specific sentences in this ficlet while grinning until my cheeks hurt.

'Cycle' by lavvyan (AU, John/Rodney, R, dub con)
It all started with this ficlet. I read it and dub con and all, it had me up the wall it made me so horny. Then I started bookmarking the sequels for later reference, which became kind of a lot and then a whole community was created, john_farr which I've yet to check. But it all started with this ficlet, and so far it's the only thing I've actually read and feel the need to rec. The rest is more a pointing out thing for those interested (and I'll be sure to go there at some point too).


SG-1
'At least consider our romance' by princessofg (Daniel/Janet, Daniel/Jack, Jack/Janet, Daniel/Jack/Janet, NC-17)
Some alien devise makes Daniel and Janet Frasier do it and Jack is near enough to know what's going on. The experience is infuriating, tense and awkward, but it's not traumatizing and that could have been that if it hadn't stirred up some old and current relationships that were not supposed to be revealed to all three of them.
Everything gets worked out beautifully and very satisfying. What I love most about this fic is the characterizations and the voices. These three people I love so much, each with their own strenghts and weaknesses, who fit together like pieces of a puzzle. It's all about trust, a deep mutual respect and love. And lust.

'In the beginning' by princessofg (Daniel/Jack, PG)
Episode tag for the SG-1 pilot "Children of the Gods". For some it may be difficult, even distressing to see Daniel and Jack hook up so early after Sha're has been taken by the Gou'ald. For me however this fic is incredibly moving because the way it's written it doesn't feel like partner betrayal, but like two pained men seeking and finding a moment of comfort with a soulmate.

thank you so much! :D.

Quite literally my pleasure :D

Hey, thank you for these! Btw, the link to Common Touch goes to a vid instead of here: http://lamardeuse.dreamhost.com/ml/thecommontouch.html

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

Oops! Fixed :D

Thanks for pointing it out (there's nothing more frustrating that only finding out months later that a link had been wrong all that time...)

[rane-ab.livejournal.com]

Oh, yay, I don't think I've read Fruition yet! *bookmarks* And, oh, how I'm waiting for the last part of Easy There. I love that fic so much!

Also, because I'm hopelessly monofannish (unfortunately!) I haven't been reading any SGA fic, but you're the third person, I think, I've seen reccing Sheppard's Law, so I may have to go read that, after all...

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

'Easy there' and 'Being resigned' are both WIP's I'm eagerly awaiting a new chapter for.

'Sheppard's Law' is just... It's one of those fics that I want to force people to read. But then again, I think I'd get into any fandom if it's one that cesperanza is writing in.
