10:29 am JEEVES AND WOOSTER/MERLIN (G)
My Internet was down yesterday, so I couldn't post this on the 15th, sorry. I couldn't face calling my ISP for help till this morning.

Title: Avalon Manor by pepperlandgirl
Pairings: Arthur Pendragon/Merlin Emrys; Reginald Jeeves/Bertram Wooster
Length: 9,890 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] pepperlandgirl
Author Website: Author page on AO3
Why this must be read:
This fusion of Merlin and the Jeeves and Wooster universe is told from the perspectives of Bertie and Jeeves, and Pepperlandgirl does a bang-up job of capturing the unique Wodehouse style. However, the Merlin characters (Uther, Morgana, Arthur, and Merlin) feel right, too, although they are given the appropriate period gloss. The wacky domestic hijinks are perfect for both sets of characters.

10:41 am DOCTOR WHO/MERLIN (PG-13)
Title: The Wrong Avalon by leashy_bebes
Pairings: Arthur Pendragon/Merlin Emrys; Amy Pond/Rory Williams
Length: 11,322 words

Why this must be read:
Because there are only a handful of Merlin crossovers that have been rec'd in the past, I wanted to use one of my set for another crossover. It's a tale of star-crossed love, of destiny held tightly in a desperate lover's grasp, and the additional elements of the Whoniverse only add to the experience. Eleven takes Amy and Rory on a vacation, but per usual, timey wimey wibbly wobbly stuff happens.

I'm rec'ing this story because it made me giggle. I tend to keep track of the stories that I find genuinely amusing. :D In this story, first Merlin and then Arthur get a clue about their fabulous shared Destiny.

02:36 pm The Future Soon by lady_ragnell (NC-17)
Fandom: Merlin
Pairing: Arthur Pendragon/Merlin Emrys

Why this must be read:
Merlin is one of the rare fandoms that I like reading AU/AR set in the present even better than canon-compliant stories, so I'll be posting both sorts. (I'll be sure to note in my recs which ones are not set in the canon time period.)

In this modern magical AU, Merlin and Arthur are desperate to prevent their predicted future together from happening. It's long and fun with a little angst, and I'm sure you'll find it entertaining weekend reading--enjoy!

02:41 pm Leaning Against the Sun by SubTextual & o0Famous Amos0o (NC-17)
Fandom: Naruto
Pairing: Gai/Kakashi
Length: 17,567 words
Author on LJ: SubTextual's LJ & o0Famous Amos0o's LJ
Author Website: Unknown
Why this must be read:

Alternating btw Gai & Kakashi's POV, Leaning Against the Sun is a stark look into the complex relationship between 'Eternal Rivals'. A dark insight taken when the characters are 19, this exposes all the wounds two ANBU carry and what makes them both such effective ninja for Konoha.

I really appreciated the author's writing this as a stream of consciousness, it gives the story a bleak, bitter feel which I never thought to get from Gai. It's stark and pointed with Angst dripping but there are glimpses of hope for the future. Wish these authors wrote more of this pairing but there is also some incredible Kakashi/Sasuke available on SubTextual's LJ as a bonus as well as some Kakashi/Iruka artwork. Yum!

Ponder Leaning Against the Sun and leave feedback to feed author.
