01:04 pm Fame and Fortune by melusinahp Explicit
Fandom: MERLIN
Pairing: Arthur/Merlin, Merlin/Will
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 4650
Summary: Arthur is a prat movie star and Merlin is his PA. Attraction ensues.
Why this must be read: When the story begins, Merlin is with Will and Arthur's a complete arse.  I enjoy that the story is told all in Merlin's pov so the reader is never quite sure what Arthur is thinking. uther's a turd, Morgana isn't perfect, and Merlin has magic, which is always a plus. Story also includes Gwen, Lance, and Nimueh.

06:24 pm You're the Voice by neurotic_nick NC-17
Fandom: MERLIN
Pairing: Arthur/Merlin
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 11378
Summary: Shy Arthur calls a phone sex line and quickly become addicted to number 17's sexy Welsh accent.
Why This Must Be Read: I don't bookmark many fics. I just don't. But the combination of shy Arthur and phone sex operator Merlin (who's always fought to cover his Welsh accent) just gets to me. It's funny and sweet and hot--my favorite combination. A sexy, romantic read.

10:46 pm Promises Writ in Indelible Ink [PG-13]
Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Pairing: Pre-John Sheppard/Rodney McKay
Rating: PG-13 (author rates as PG-ish)
Word Count: ~7500
Author's Website: No More Tears
Summary: You don't know what you've got 'till it's gone. Sometimes you get the chance to get it back.

Why This Must Be Read: This is one of my favorite Miller's Crossing tags. This is Atlantis' reaction to Rodney's kidnapping and his return. Rodney is completely baffled by how weird people are being, completely oblivious to the meaning behind their actions. Promises Writ gives you a glimpse into Teyla and Ronon's culture, shows you how much people care about Rodney - all with Rodney being his usual self. A fun plot and great characterization! This is one of my go-to fics when I'm feeling particularly fond of Rodney, when I need something to cheer me up, or just when I want a good read.

Why this must be read:
John Watson is Death. He wasn't supposed to kill the cabbie at the end of A Study in Pink, Sherlock Holmes was supposed to die that night. But Sherlock's still alive and now the world is starting to fall apart. The events of the whole series seen in a slightly more supernatural light. Also featuring "Anthea", Harry and Sebastian as the other horsemen of the apocalypse, and exploring what it takes to become a myth.

Where the horsemen aren't so much heralding the apocalypse as they are hanging around and breaking rules and accidentally causing the apocalypse themselves. It's an interesting universe where the characters who could be considered 'sidekicks' are the ones running the show, mostly without a plan, while humans remain none the wiser about the influences in their lives.

Castiel travels with the angel tablet and without the Winchesters.
One day, Dean gets a text from some anonymous number.

A post-08.17 Goodbye, Stranger story.


Mid-Season 8 fic (so non finale compliant). Cas escapes Naomi’s control with the angel tablet and gets on a bus to nowhere. But Castiel misses his family, he he actually reaches out. And luckily, Dean is there to respond. Castiel finds his way back home through the medium of text messaging. Home is getting comfortably filled (And with some new members-Dean and Sam adopt Kevin. And Garth) Sam could also not be a happier puppy as things coalesce into stability around him, even in the middle of ongoing world-threatening drama
