AMY'S DAILY FIC REC SAYS HI
Continuing to welcome this year and all the vibes, comes another installment. Today with BBC Merlin, Teen Wolf and BBC Sherlock
*A warlock's best friend is the floor - Lola_Rose_Robins
6k, 1/1, Gen, Hurt Merlin, Disabled Character, Chronic Pain, Fluff and Angst and a bit of Crack. Arthur/Gwen, Epic Friendship
Merlin has chronic pain. After a nasty flare-up, his friends are there to support him.
*Lace Among the Rocks - PottersPink
1k, 1/1, Merwaine, Scar Reveal, Magic Reveal
The stream opens up into a small pool, warmed by the sun and tranquil in a way that Merlin craves; isolated and a little bit magic, a place for him to drift and sink his roots into the earth and stretch his wings with the birds.
*The Curious Case of Aithusa - TyalanganD
6k, 1/1, Merthur, Mpreg, Dragon!Merlin, Fluff and Angst, Soft Arthur
In hindsight, Merlin should have known that as a dragonlord and a shapeshifter, he was capable of giving birth. After all, all dragons could grow eggs, no matter the gender. And that magical ritual he did right before Arthur took him to bed after his coronation, definitely didn’t help matters.
*Untitled (I'll Keep You Safe) - PottersPink
2k, Merwaine, Smut, Hurt/Comfort, Magic Reveal, Canon Era, Soft Ending
Camelot, Merlin thinks, is held up by my bones.
*In Your Heart and Flowers In Your Hair - Biromantic_Nerd
4k, 1/1, Merwaine, Fluff and Humor, Canon Era, Protective Arthur
Merlin's head tilted to the side as he stared at his friend in obvious bemusement. "No, but you've got that look."
"Look?" Gwaine asked coyly. "Merlin, that's just my face. Are you saying there's something wrong with my face then?"
*Save me - orpgan_account
7k, 6/6, Merwaine, Canon Era, Hurt Merlin, Suicidal Thoughts, Good Morgana, Drug Addiction, Grief, Hurt/Comfort
Merlin's struggling to deal with everything that's going on in Camelot, and the others begin to notice
*after the storm (are you leaving) - Imagined, Scarlet_Ribons
59k, 6/6, Merthur, Drug Addiction, Hurt Melin, Kinda Hurt Everyone, Slavery, Queen Mithian, Court Socerer Merlin, Getting Together, Canon Era, Eventual Happy Ending, Angst, Hurt/Comfort
Arthur lends Merlin's aid as a sorcerer to an allied kingdom. He doesn't expect to find Merlin, two years later, in shackles, and only a mere echo of the person he used to be.
*you know it's not the same as it was - softiecharlie
1k, 1/1, Merthur, Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Court Sorcerer Merlin, Established Relationship, Married Merthur
“Do you love me still, Arthur?” Merlin whispered with a reverence that seemed like the only thing keeping him from giving in to his anemic state.
“Where is this coming from? Come here, you idiot, let me tend to your wounds first.”
“Arthur, just-- just tell me.”
*Bad Liar - cissathebookworm
8k, 1/1, Merthur, Established Relationship, Knights of the Round Table, Queen Annis, Episode Remake
Set series 4, episode 5 "His Father's Son" where Arthur kills that king in the forest and almost goes to war with Queen Annis. Arthur and Merlin are in an established relationship and Merlin helps Arthur realize some things.
Or: Arthur and Annis don't go to war because Merlin isn't actually dumb and has a lot of sway over Arthur and this is a Good Thing.
*When You Say Nothing at All - Skitz_phenom
10k, 1/1, Merthur, Minor Arwen, Agravaine, Leon, 5+1, Episode 0405 His Father's Son
Facing increasing pressure to assert himself as King, Arthur doesn’t allow himself the luxury of being able to speak his mind; not that he actually knows what to say. Until he does.
*Sir Merlin, Knight of Camelot - perish_the_thoughtless
1k, 1/1, Gen, Bromance, Fluff and Humor, Episode 0405 His Father's Son
An exploration of how that intriguing episode intro of Merlin dressed as a knight could have happened.
*fidelitas - theseourbodies
1k, 1/1, Leon & Merlin, Friendship, Class Differences, Dad Friend Leon
"It's heavy," Merlin mutters.
*The Only Reward Bestowed Upon Me - greatdumbking
4k, 1/1, Merthur, Fix-It, Angst, Love Confessions, Agravaine, Gaius, Canon Era
“You’re wrong Merlin. I don’t need anyone. I can’t afford that luxury. The kingdom's my responsibility now, and mine to bear alone. And you must learn to accept that.”
How could this hurt so much, a third time? Merlin could feel the façade of his casual indifference faltering. His face fell, tears were clawing at his throat, creeping into his eyes. It took all his effort to nod, steel his eyes, and swallow down the rising sob.
*Sharing Responsibility - Lolly047
3k, 1/1, Merthur, Fluff and Angst, Fix-it, Magic Ban Lifted, Humor, Marriage Proposal, Queen Merlin
In Arthur's humble opinion, Merlin comes up with the strangest ideas... But sometimes those ideas do turn into favourable outcomes.
But this whole marriage thing may take it a bit too far...
*Destiny Says A Lot Of Things - Hollow_Whisperings
1k, 2/2, Crack Treated Seriously, Kid Mordred, Merlin is So Done, Druids, Kilgharrah, Hijinks and Shennanigans
For, rather embarassingly, Mordred's returning to Arthur and Merlin's lives seems to have happened... somewhat earlier than expected. It's a lot more difficult to harden your heart against your sworn nemesis, magical kin they may be, when said nemesis looks up to you and has decided you're their new big brother, after all.
*Rest, Now - TheAsexualofSpades
2k, 1/1, Merlin/Arthur/Gwen, Hurt/Comfort, Post Lamia
The second he sees the walls of Camelot, Merlin slumps in the saddle. Cara nickers in warning and he just manages to right himself before Arthur looks over.
*Dumb Luck - TheAsexualofSpades
2k, 1/1, Merthur, Knights of The Round Table, Angst with a Happy Ending, Fluff, Magic Revealed, Hurt/Comfort
Alright. Merlin’s going to be honest. Is the absolute best at hiding his magic from people? No. Is he a damn sight near better than some other bastards would be if they had his magic? Yes, yes, he is, thank you very much. They would do quite well to remember that he is magic, and he’s had it since he was born, so he knows what he’s doing when it comes to knowing that he has it. Yes, thank you, he doesn’t go around doing every single thing he could with magic because well, then he’d never get to do much of anything ever again.
And that would be boring.
*Base Instincts - TheAsexualofSpades
1k, 1/1, Merthur, Knights of The Round Table, Hurt/Comfort, Fluff and Humor, Shapeshifter Merlin
It says something about Merlin, doesn’t it, when they find out he can shapeshift and it only explains about twelve of his weird quirks.
No, Merlin, that doesn’t mean we’re excessively monitoring them, it means you’re a strange man who doesn’t make a lot of sense on your best day.
Yes, you have good and bad days.
No, this is not a good day.
*it took new york to make me a cowboy - piratattoos
15k, 1/1, Sterek, Future Fic, Derek Leaves Beacon Hills, ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THINGS I'VE EVER READ, No smut, Recovery, Getting Together, Character Study, Slow Burn, Writer Derek Hale, Post Season 3B
After Beacon Hills, Derek heads back to New York. He doesn’t look back, lest he be turned into a pillar of salt. He leaves it all behind, a monument, a tomb, a thousand fuck ups and betrayals left to gather dust and slowly rot away to nothing.
He read somewhere once, that time is cyclical, that the universe repeats over and over, and that he will be reborn and make the exact same mistakes over and over again, helpless to change anything. He thinks Stiles told him about a Vonnegut novel like that once.
He doesn’t think about Stiles.
*Adventures and Explorations - Survivah
2 works, 30k, Sterek, AU-ish, Fox!Stiles, No Bestiality, Isaac Lahey, Stilinski Family Feels
Derek plans to spend the rest of his life holed up in the woods after Laura dies. Then he meets a stubborn young fox, and the stubborn young fox meets an urn of Deaton's magic powder, and his plans change.
*The Important Bit - Solshine
(Reread), 9k, 7/7, Queer Platonic Relationship, Johnlock, Beautiful, Marriage, Domestic
Just where exactly is the line between “to love” and “to be in love”? What difference is required between “flatmate” and “husband”? (Besides the rings, obviously.) No, the important bit is that they have each other. Thirty years, give or take, in an atypical marriage. Basically a long bit of platonic domestic fluff.
*Delirium - TheStrid
3k, 1/1, Developing Johnlock, Bipolar Sherlock, Hypomania, Suicidal Ideation, Self Harm, Mind Palace, Supportive John
Sherlock's sacked his mind palace.
*Case.Suspect.Chase.Jump. - MonkeySocks
2k, 1/1, Bipolar Sherlock, Mania, Protective Mycroft, Character Injury, John Watson
“I’m fine.”
“Fine?” Mycroft stands and pokes his finger to my arm. The one set in plaster and held to my chest in a sling. That was incredibly painful. I cradle the damaged side against me and away from Mycroft. I have numerous bruises down my left side, and I had a loss of consciousness for a few minutes because of the concussion. They said they wanted to monitor me. I know why I am really here.
*I Was in Your Arms - jhnlck
1k, 1/1, Johnlock, Soft, Depressed Sherlock, Soft John Watson, First Kiss, Dancing, Hurt/Comfort
John makes Sherlock dance to ABBA to cheer him up.
