In which I give the old reach around

I've been wanting to discuss this for ages and now - with the recent influx of Merlin fans on my flist - seems like as good a time as any. So, what are your all time favourite Merlin-related fics? Maybe they're fandom classics, maybe they're not, but you've read them over and over and they're the first thing you rec because you want people to love them as much as you do.

I unashamedly fangirl:

At Our Best When It's From the Hips by derryere (M/A, NC-17, ~13k)

Your Movements Are Irregular (But My Gravity Is Constant) by lemniciate (B/C, PG-13, ~30k)

Bradley James' Guide to Surviving a Zombie Apocalypse: The Mall Edition by giselleslash (B/C, R, ~3300)

Communications In Binary by justthismorning (M/A, PG, ~37k)

Soundtrack to the Apocalypse by phantomjam (M/A, NC-17, ~7700)

The Rise and Fall of the Broman Empire by rayslady (PG-13, Gwaine, background M/A and Gwen/Lancelot)

Urgh, I will never stop recommending everything lastling writes. Never ever ever. Particularly Us Two Little Gods (http://lastling.livejournal.com/87051.html). It's not for everyone because of the warnings, but still. My favourite fic in this fandom.

curvasud's Frequently Asked Questions (http://curvasud.livejournal.com/18358.html)! and ifyouweremine's Fuck Truck Episode 32: Merlin (http://ifyouweremine.livejournal.com/140648.html) for filthy hot porn. zarah's Where the Pavement Ends (http://zarah5.livejournal.com/52153.html) and waldorph's The Weight of Words (http://waldorph.livejournal.com/56480.html) (THE Arthur fic for me). oh and and From Russia With Love (http://community.livejournal.com/kinkme_merlin/2936.html?thread=861560#t861560) is probably my favourite derryere fic.

Communications In Binary is a favourite too!

I still have that lastling one bookmarked to read, I will get to that soon! As for the rest, I recognise them all but I can't place them, so I guess I have some fics to reread tonight XD

Us Two Little Gods is one of my favorite fics ever in the history of fanfiction.

It's so gorgeous I'm getting starry-eyed just thinking about it. I love the way she played on the legends!
