Recs and Reviews
Canon Adventure – Merlin sets out on a quest for ingredients to cure Leon, but gets foiled when Arthur decides to come along. A few OCs show up and they are not all that they seem and Merlin’s stuck trying to keep his many secrets from Arthur. This is a charming fic. I loved the adventure, the mystery of the OC and what exactly they were after, but mostly I loved adorable banter between the boys which I can never get enough of.[1]
This is Arthur and Merlin the way I see them, with their flaws and big hearts. I loved the original characters and the dialog all around. Loved both the ordinary scenes as much as the big magical ones and I could see it all vividly. The sex is hot and fun and just utterly delightful and the whole fic left me feeling completely satisfied."[2]
I really enjoyed this one. The way Merlin kept digging himself into deeper and deeper a problem was well done, as was Arthur's protectiveness. Merlin's guilt over cheating and stealing was perfect, and very in-character with the show where he's had to make similar (sometimes bad) decisions in order to achieve another means (and his desire to help Leon was great).[3]
Wow, this really was just like watching an episode of the show. With [...] a sex cherry on top. And Merlin's got a staff for future use! This was a really well-conceived story.[4]
