Fanfiction
Title:
A Shooting Star I Have EmbracedAuthor:
aestheticized Rating/Warnings: PG-13. Sexuality.
Rec: (
firthgal) - It's short, but absolutely beautiful and bittersweet and tragic.
Title:
As He SleepsAuthor:
firthgal Rating/Warnings: PG-13.
Rec: (
oltha_heri) - It is a drabble but very poignant and angsty given that it's only 126 words.
Title:
As Pleasures Are WontAuthor:
phantomjam Rating/Warnings: R.
Rec: (
oltha_heri) - This has amazing prose, is rather angsty, uses Morgana's seer-ness, and is basically awesome.
Title:
Seeing SeriesAuthor:
4thderevko Rating/Warnings: NC-17.
Rec: (
firthgal) - (it doesn't have a masterlist, but it's scattered throughout the NC-17 tag). This series beautifully interweaves a sexual Uther/Morgana relationship into canon, and the author seriously makes me believe that it all actually happened. It's really just add-ons for each episode, but the characterizations are magnificent and it's one of the first stories that really made me believe that the ship was fully possible in canon. And, I admit it, the porn was excellent. But it was so much more than just porn. It was intense emotionally, and it somehow captured that hateful tension between them while at the same time showing why they love each other despite all the hell that they put each other through. I love it.
Title:
The Last Beautiful ThingAuthor:
shantirosaRating/Warnings: NC-17. Dark themes, graphic violence, graphic sexual content, dubious consent, character death.
Rec: (
oltha_heri) - I'm not usually a fan of AU's, especially ones that make my angsty ships, uhm, angstier (in some ways, in other ways it is almost less angsty). This however is beautifully written, perfectly characterized, and plotted extraordinarily well.
Title:
The Chill of MorningAuthor:
quirkymuseRating/Warnings: PG-13.
Rec: (
oltha_heri) - This is another great utilization of Morgana's abilities, though it is based less on the visions themselves and more the effects on her than As Pleasures Are Wont.
Title:
To See You RightAuthor:
oltha_heri Rating/Warnings: G. Pre-ship/gen.
Rec: (
firthgal) - This is a delightful little glimpse into the Uther/Morgana relationship. I really love this one for so expertly capturing their non-verbal loveliness. They say so much with their eyes and body language, and that's hard to capture in a fic, but this one did it beautifully.
Title:
Hark She RisesAuthor:
gnimaerd Rating/Warnings: R.
Rec: (
firthgal) - I love this take on Uther/Morgana. It does a great job of building up their relationship pre-series and it subtly dances on that line between father/daughter and man/woman feelings. It's a little bit angsty, but in the fun way as opposed to the absolutely tragic way that most U/M fics are. It's just a great one for an innocent look at their relationship over the years.

Open Your EyesVidder:
cornishbluepixieRec: (
firthgal) - I love the editing on this one, and the song is great for them. Love it. Can be taken as gen or subtexty (naturally I take it as subtexty).
Title:
VermillionVidder:
bigmamagRec: (
firthgal) - This is my #1 favorite, it's just perfect in every way, love it. Perfect song, beautiful editing, it captures their angst magnificently, and I just never get tired of watching it.
Title:
