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:

Aww bb, you need a pause button in your life!

Easy There is a strange one for me, in that the first time I read it, I disliked it. I can't even remember why. And then a while later someone rec'd it, in fact, a few people listed it as their favourite and I was like, "hmmm, I better go check this out again, clearly I've missed something" AND I MUST HAVE, because I LOVED it the second time around. I don't even know what was wrong with me that first time, bad Kylie!
