netgirl_y2k, your reccer in Merlin fandom this month. As a declaration of interest I haven't been active in the fandom for some time so most of my recs will be from the first two series of the show, but there are still many good things to enjoy.
Fandom: MERLIN
Pairing: Gen; Nimueh centric
Length: 25k
Author on LJ:rosa_acicularis
Author Website: Fanfiction Masterlist
Why this must be read:
I can't be the only person who thinks that Merlin's offing of Nimueh at the end of S1 was a bit... easy. This fic is an intriguing look at how Nimueh might come back and how her destiny might be entwined with Merlin and Camelot's.
Geese are horrible.
They seem to hate Bess for the same reasons other animals adore her, snapping at her gentle fingers and hissing at the soft sound of her voice. They are fat and dirty and loud and she hates them as much as they hate her, and one day the largest, meanest gander chases her into the pond, white wings outstretched, his sharp beak reaching for her face.
She lands on her arse in the muddy water and starts to laugh.
The gander stops mid-attack, confused.
Bess clutches her stomach, laughing so hard she can barely speak. In between giggles she manages to say something that sounds like, all-powerful sorceress and feared by an entire kingdom and defeated by a Christmas goose.
The gander ruffles his feathers. It’s not polite to mention Christmas around a goose.
“Sorry,” she says, wiping her eyes. She stands, and then starts to giggle again when her skirts make a slurping sound as they leave the pond. When she gets her laughter under control she holds out her hand, a solemn offering of peace. “Friends?”
The gander waddles away with the put upon air of someone who has much more important things to do, thank you.
“I could turn you into a toad,” she shouts after him. “Or worse, a duck!”
All told, she’s had far more unpleasant jobs in Camelot than royal goose girl.
