Dont Mind Me All Over The Place

We're TRENDINGG for no REASONN just like god DECREEDD, so here are 5 fics that would steal your breath away:
1. My breaths are run by your compass by regulusrules. [T] [20K+] [post-camlann fix-it] [golden age but merlin stabs arthur in his heart first].
Not because it's my fic and it's genuinely so insane you won't believe it, but honestly, it's the best idea I've ever come up with, even better than the widely beloved my heart is readily yours. For me, it's the perfect continuation of their story, and the most unhinged plot twist you could find in a fic.
2. Half of my soul by @clockwrkpendrxgon. [G] [2K] [MCD] [golden age growing old together]
This fic is half of my soul, or what the poets say. It's so much better as an ending than what they've given us. At least this is filled with such golden love it makes you ache. At least this makes sense.
3. from hearth and ashes, we’re reborn by @remuscariad. [G] [5K] [canon era magic reveal].
This fic is so good you'll be on your knees from it. The prose, the characterization, the tropes used... it will linger in your mind and fester there from how beautiful it all is. And the art in it by @onepeppercorn... stunning.
4. Our broken pieces by @aramblingjay. [T] [10K] [canon era established relationship]
You can pry this fic from my cold dead hands. I will never stop recommending it until it gets the fame it deserves. One of the most beautiful fics ever written about them, and genuinely encompasses their characters so perfectly.
5. gentle as an early spring breeze by @prattery. [G] [2.5K] [canon divergence golden age]
They are alive and in love and we're all living in this fic because it's what they righteously deserved. The way their life was written here and the love between them... I swear this author could write anything and I'd kudos it before even reading it.
[For more recs]

redraw of Sun & Moon Merthur
Many think that the God of the Sun and the God of the Moon hate each other, that they both compete for the sky.
But truly they've been married for over millennia and are just a very competitive couple
( I might be making a comeback...maybe...possibly..idk yet)

we fuckin hate Uther in this house but those times he'd look at Merlin and be like "wtf is wrong with Arthur rn??" were so funny
like Uther was very firmly on the you're too close to this boy train but the moment Arthur was doing something weird he'd look at Merlin like "boy fix this rn"

These are the tiny moments I love. It’s the way Arthur’s eyes don’t leave Merlin after he looks away. Not only do they not leave him, but you can literally see his eyes flick around Merlin’s face.
It’s a moment just for Arthur. To observe and appreciate his friend up close. He even does a little gulp as he’s taking in his side profile, his cheekbones, his chin. His Merlin.
Arthur loves Merlin. He was destined to.

Way back in ye olden days when ~aCe dIsCoUrSe~ was really taking off and making it impossible for aspec people to exist on the internet, someone (don't remember who) coined the term Artemisian as a word for love of any kind between asexual folks. Of course since it was during the dark times it promptly got buried under a pile of reasons it was Problematic™™™ but like.
It was cool. It was super fucking cool.
I think we should bring it back.
Who's down to bring it back?

A little snippet from my merthur boarding school au (wip-- fic to be posted soon!)
I mentioned this idea forever ago, and I've been thinking about it nonstop for like a year. Finally, I have enough to start sharing it!
I currently only have one and a half chapters but the plan is to post it to ao3 once I have at least three done. Stay tuned! But for now here's this :)
It had all started over the summer. The Penn family had been seated around the breakfast table, the father at the head, the daughter to his left and the son to his right. Their housemaid had shuffled in at the usual time to deliver the morning paper. As he always did, Uther Penn acknowledged her with only a nod, finished his breakfast first, and then opened the paper to the second page. Anything actually worth reading could be found there, he always said. No use in reading the gossip on the front page. His children often questioned this philosophy, but they had long since discovered that he wouldn’t be swayed from it. They’d developed their own system, anyway. While their father skimmed the inside pages, Morgana’s job was to discreetly read the front page, and Arthur’s was to redirect Uther’s attention when needed by asking about another section. This morning, he’d inquired about sports articles.
In predictable Uther fashion, he grumbled at the question and quipped something about patience, before flipping through to find the newest football passage. It was all very routine. Everything from Uther’s subtle smile as he read the passage aloud for Arthur to hear, to the mid-August breeze drifting through the open patio doors fit into the easy peace of a Sunday morning at the Penn household. The whole thing was so relaxed, in fact, that Arthur began to fall into a daze. The drone of his father’s voice mingled with the birdsong outside to create a lullaby that covered his brain in a fine fuzz. His stomach was filled after his meal and the sweet scent of the garden graced his senses with every gentle draft. His eyelids grew heavy.
It was all shattered in an instant, however, when Morgana dropped her fork. The cutlery made a loud clanging as it struck the plate beneath it, and sent a jolt of electric shock through Arthur’s entire body. All eyes turned to her. Without saying a word, she lunged for the paper and frantically smoothed it out on the table. All was silent for a moment. Then–
“Father,” she whispered, voice tense and eyes wide as they found Uther’s. She turned the paper so both her brother and father could see what she was pointing to.
There on the page, beneath Morgana’s elegantly manicured fingernail:
“—body found in Albion Woods, identified to be thirty-four year old Helen Mora. Police are opening an active investigation to gather information about the deceased and any potential leads as to her cause of death. According to the detectives assigned to the case, authorities cannot dismiss suspicions of foul play at this time…”
Arthur felt his blood go cold.
Albion Woods…
“How close to the school was she found?” Uther took a drink from his coffee, still surveying the article from across the table. There was a pause as Morgana read the passage again.
“They didn’t mention the school.”
“They’ll want to question you, Father,” Arthur said carefully. He, too, reached for his coffee and took a sip. It was cold.
“Yes, I suppose they will,” He reached to retrieve the paper from Morgana. “I’ll have to contact Geoffrey. See if we can mitigate the intrusion.”
“You’re just going to– what– pay them off?” She asked, incredulous. “This could be serious! And you’re trying to hush it up?” Uther didn’t appear to have heard her. He was busy scanning the page again. Arthur swallowed.
“She’s right, Father,” he watched Uther’s reaction closely. “It could look suspicious if one of our teachers turns up dead and we resist investigation.”
“Her death in itself reflects poorly for Pendragon. The last thing we need is an investigation.” His father took a huffing breath and tossed the paper down. He continued to stare at it for a moment, his eyes far away. There was a beat, and then Morgana scoffed and shoved herself away from the table. Arthur watched her stalk out of the room, leaving an uncomfortable silence behind her that engulfed the two still at the table. Uther had reached for his coffee again, and as he took a drink Arthur stared down at his own mug.
“I’m sorry,” he said. “I know you were close.” He indicated the paper with a twitch of his index finger. Uther smiled tightly and dipped his head. Then he called for the maid to clear the table and Arthur excused himself.

Okay wait, so we've talked about how we want to see the nailbat back in S5, and I do want that - but do you know what I really want?
I want to see Steve using the bat and then getting knocked down. I want to see him drop it, ending up pinned and weaponless and vulnerable, if only for a moment
And I want to see Dustin, nearby because they couldn't keep him away from the fight if they tried, running in. I want to see him pick up the bat and I want to see him give it that same twirl that Steve does (the one that maybe he'd asked Steve to teach him, the one that maybe he's been practicing)
And then I want to see him beat the shit out of something with it, protecting Steve with the same weapon, the same way that Steve first protected him
I want to see him have the chance to save someone he loves
