hello i found ur tumblr thru rabbits cuz i wanted a good sharing a bed fic (urs was the First i found and it was Really Good) and i was sad u didnt have more merthur fics. do u have any recs similar to ur style? i loved how u wrote the banter btwn them, u did such a good job with that

aah thank you so much, I’m so glad you liked it! <3 sorry it's my only one so far, I definitely have more merthur coming in the future! (famous last words)

i’m not sure about similarity to my style specifically but in terms of general writing and banter/humor I GREATLY admire merlinlikethebird! Also highly recommend For the good of the kingdom by magog_83, Fools of Us All by adelagia, and Birds of a Feather by Leandra, and Strangled by the Red String of Fate by idlestories! you might have already read all of these but i'm still discovering all the goodies this fandom has to offer!

[uniasus]

Bbc merlin fic rec! 13k oneshot merthur. Summary: Merlin returns to Camelot from his time with the Druids - which Arthur likes - with a criminally handsome stranger that has Merlin’s attention - which Arthur doesn't like. Comments: This is cute and comedic, Arthur being jealous and not admitting it. This is all his pov, and it's amazing how worked up and flustered he gets.

Short-ish fics to cheer you up this week

Merlin (TV)- Merthur

For the good of the kingdom by magog_83: Merlin returns from his sojourn with the druids in the company of a man who is criminally handsome. Arthur reacts in the mature and reasonable fashion you would expect.

---

Arthur deals with his Feelings.

Meeting the Minister by magog_83: The new Muggle Prime Minister meets the Minister for Magic. In this case, Minister Merlin is VERY KEEN to meet the new PM ;) . 

---

aka the HP and Merlin crossover we don’t deserve. 

Inhaling Autumn’s Breath by @emjayelle: Arthur Pendragon has upended his life, and uprooted himself to a new country, hoping to start over. As he looks for something different and new under the fiery colours of fall, he finds that he might be able to become the person's he's always wanted to be, all with the help of a quirky French Canadian writer, some serious seasonal activities and just a little bit of magic.

---

The aesthetic, the imagery, the mood, the language, the atmosphere, the magic. 

Star Trek- Spirk

The REAL Trouble with Tribbles (or, How the tribbles conquered the Klingon Empire) by Renata Lord (Snowlight): Written for the premise: What if there is a Tribble!Kirk and Tribble!Spock amongst the vast tribbles army in the TOS episode "The Trouble with Tribbles"?

---

TRIBBLES

A Question of Science (series) by screamlet 

---

I sat with this series for days. 

you will see what it is to be overcome by magneticwave: What kind of an idiot would try to explain magic to a Vulcan.

---

*bow**i’m not worthy*

It’s Only Art (if it makes you feel something) by @wrathofbones: A story about finding your muse, of being someone else's, the importance of seeing what's in front of you, and doing things the hard way. A story about the world, just a little more lovely.

---

ART(fully) done. 

Just a Little Change (Small to Say the Least) by @walktalkwrite: Jim predicts his gears will rust together before Spock can undo this anomaly.

---

This makes a whole new world; it compels me to say go on and kiss the girl; at last Spock sees the light, and realizes so this is love. 

[earlgreyinpajamas]

merthur fic recs: pride and prejudice!au

i confess that austen is one of my favourite writers of all time, so i always love a good fusion. (and don’t you think merthur is a bit like lizzy and darcy’s relationship?)

1. and I burn for you, even though I shouldn’t by Tink_Wondering 

Lord Pendragon has an urgent confession to make.

~~~

it’s a pride and prejudice fusion! i love it quite dearly. there are so little of them in the fandom that every fic is precious to me.

2. Lady Catherine comes to Camelot (Merlin/Arthur): magog_83 by magog_83

~~~

the author didn’t include a description for this fic, but it’s a fantastic fic anyways. it essentially follows season 1 characterisation (a soft spot of mine), and for those who have not read pride and prejudice, you can just think of Lady Catherine as that one pompous aunt you have. putting her and merlin in the same room is a recipe for drama >.< hehe

[the-mother-of-lions]

So I’ve been wanting to put this together for a while now and I’ve finally done it! Below is a ridiculously long list of Merlin/Merthur fics that I loved that literally no one has ever asked for.

[averagehobbes]

hello, would you happen to have PDFs of the fics by derryere, magog_83, cherrybina, seperis, syllic, astolat, and misswinterhill that aren't on AO3? please let me know if you do! i'm a complete merlin fandom newbie and i'm afraid i'm being rude asking this, but i can't understand why they'd make their lovely writing unavailable :(

Hello Merlin fandom newbie! You’re not being rude at all! A lot of Merlin fics were posted on lj (the merlin fandom, when the show was running, was really between the transition from lj to ao3 popularity). But a lot of old lj accounts were purged by lj (or an author decided to take them down, and only keep a few on ao3). If the fic you’re looking for was on lj, and nowhere else, then I suggest trying the wayback machine. Otherwise I will have to say: I don’t have any pdfs, but I know some people have these fics saved. If so, please let me know so this person can get that pdf from you!

Derryere: ao3 | dreamwidth (lj gone)

magog_83: ao3 | dreamwidth (lj gone)

cherrybina: ao3 (lj and dreamwidth gone)

seperis: ao3 | livejournal | dreamwidth

syllic: ao3 (lj gone)

asolat: ao3 | livejournal | their website

misswinterhill: ao3 (but must be logged on, not all fics from the lj that is now gone)

[merlinfics]

Thanks for all the great recommendations! I’m looking for a fic where Arthur is the youngest PM and Merlin is the young Minister of Magic. It’s sweet and funny because Arthur struggles to believe in Magic and is attracted to Merlin. Morgana is Arthur’s PA, too.

Is it:

 Meeting the Minister (AO3) by Magog_83

3570 words | PG

Written for this brilliant prompt on the kinkmeme, The new Muggle Prime Minister meets the Minister for Magic. In this case, Minister Merlin is VERY KEEN to meet the new PM ;)

(its the first part in a series)

Feel free to send in another request if it’s not!

-E

[chut-je-dors]

hello! do you like merlin/arthur fics? if you do, what it's your favourite/s? i would like to read some but there're so many....

yeah! i read basically only j/p and merthur fics (i’m so picky. i’m sorry y’all). i’ll link a few quickly! also, be sure to check this place too, that’s where i go whenever i need a fic to read (this is how i’d love to do it or the j/p -fics as well, and I WILL DO IT, whenever i get TIME)

The Good Times are Killing Me by minor_hue

Summary: In which the boys pretend to still be together for Christmas (and there is more than one kind of charade). 

Looking at you, Looking at me (Sometimes it lasts in love, sometimes it hurts instead) by lunchee

Summary: Arthur can’t let go. Merlin forgets.

(note: you’ll cry)

Fools of Us All

Summary: Merlin accidentally makes everybody in Camelot fall in love with him. Everybody except Arthur, that is.

World and Time Enough (aka “Fucking Beijing”) by neathsunnyskies

Summary: Modern AU, Arthur had had it all figured out. And then Merlin shot him in Beijing.

The Knights Have A Thousand Eyes by Stakeclaim

Summary: In which Arthur is out of sorts. His manservant leaves a lot to be desired, Morgana is scary, Merlin's 'luck' is becoming too noticeable, his knights need to learn some lessons, and they're beginning to act very strangely. Arthur blames Merlin.

No Matter How Far Away You Roam by lady_ragnell

Summary: In which Merlin gets conned into spending Christmas with Arthur's family and pretending to be his husband, because somehow this is his life.

Pairing Pendragon/Merlinby Anonymous

Summary: Arthur is a BNF and Merlin is his prized beta

(note: this, in a way, inspired the Hot Series)

Meeting the Minister by magog_83

Summary: The new Muggle Prime Minister meets the Minister for Magic.

(note: merlin crossovers with harry potter are My Thing)

Until You Do (I’ll Bring You Tea and Honey) by TheAvalonian

Summary: Modern AU: Everyone keeps assuming that Merlin and Arthur are together, so as a joke, they start pretending it's true. And then, suddenly, it is.

A story of giant teddy bears, meddling sisters, nonexistent homoerotic subtext (or is it?), and accidentally falling in love.

(note: also fake dating is My Thing)

Read All About It by anonymous

Summary: Arthur is an antiques shop owner who spends most of his time worrying about how he’s going to stay in business. Until world-famous actor Merlin Emrys comes crashing into his shop and somehow Arthur ends up with a fake boyfriend.

There are many more but this is supposed to be a quick list. Hope you’ll enjoy!

Hi there! Cat anon here. It turns out the cat was Geoffrey not George, which may have contributed to why it was so difficult to find! The fic is 'The Journal of Geoffrey the Cat, aged 3 years and 5 months' by magog_83 and is available on the kinkmeme as well as their lj.

Thank you very much, it’s sounds adorable so I’ll add it to my to read list!

The Journal of Geoffrey the Cat. Aged 3 Years and 5 Months

Summary: Modern AU in which Arthur has a pet cat called Geoffrey, who keeps a journal. Then Merlin moves in across the road. Yes, really.
