But nope. Again, I wish I had so many people to talk to, commiserate with, speculate with--CLING TO!

So, LET'S DO THIS!!!!!!!

no problem, bb! happy reading :D

which series are you on? I haven't seen the most recent, just through the end of three, and I mostly like AUs (modern or canon) but I might be able to point you towards some really great canon fics.

also, do you mind if I go ahead and add you?

I'm all caught up through series four, actually. I know series five is starting soon, or has started, but I have no idea how to see it.

I'd love more canon reads. I can't get enough of them. Especially if it isn't already on AO3 - I'll be less likely to have read it. Thanks for the offer.

Go ahead and add. I'll add back. I'll warn you, though, I've been super quiet lately. I'm running two big bangs, and they're taking up some time, and will for another month or so. Luckily, they are both small fandoms.

I keep waiting for series four to show up on netflix, but if it doesn't soon I'll probably break down and start scouring the dark recesses of the internet for streaming links.

So I'm more of a modern AU fan myself (the anachronisms in canon are a little off-putting), but I do have three canon-era & compliant when they were written fics bookmarked:

Flood (http://linckia-blue.livejournal.com/10950.html) -- PG13 -- which is about Camelot flooding and Arthur and Merlin seriously longing for each other and there is accosting in potato storerooms
all I wanted was a white night (I got a prince instead) (http://archiveofourown.org/works/104574?view_full_work=true) -- Teen + -- so this one is on AO3, but it isn't marked as canon so you might miss it which would be a shame. Arthur makes Merlin warm his bed (literally warm it, because it's cold)
Backdrifts (http://lisztful.livejournal.com/8722.html) -- NC17 -- this one's kind of angsty and filled with pining and Arthur keeping secrets and Merlin worrying that Arthur knows about his magic

(also, these are all Arthur/Merlin because they're clearly boyfrands)

Oh god, I totally understand. I'm also signed up for way more stuff than I have a right to be, including several big bangs. Good luck with yours!

the anachronisms in canon are a little off-putting Yes, I do have trouble with the historical inaccuracies, too, but not enough to keep me from reading the stories. I have more trouble reading complete AUs in large doses. I'm like that in any fandom, though, not just Merlin. Complete AUs are a lot of fun, but I can only read them once in a while, and when I'm in the mood for them.


Ooooo, thank you for the recs. I don't think I know any of these. *iz excited*

I always take too much on. It's so unfair that RL keeps getting in the way of all I want to do in fandom. *g*

Yeah, my somewhat new head canon is that the show actually takes place in a feudalistic future--so far in the future that we've gone back.

I get what you're saying about only liking a certain kind of fic every once in a while. I have very specific preferences for fic according to fandom. In some I only like specific types of AUs, or canon-based AUs, and in some I only like canon-compliant, or certain pairings if it's a certain genre/type of AU. I just hope the ones I linked are the kind of thing you're looking for. Hope you enjoy them!

Yeah, my somewhat new head canon is that the show actually takes place in a feudalistic future--so far in the future that we've gone back. Oh, I like this. It would explain how there are hours and minutes all the way back in 500 or 600 AD.

I just hope the ones I linked are the kind of thing you're looking for. As soon as I stop using all my free time to do this friending meme, I'll be checking them all out. *G*
