Could this be a rec?

[oflittleuse]

With paperlegends full under way I have been enjoying not writing (even though I should) and reading (thank you download feature on AO3) more than I should be. I figure I will do a full list of ones I am desperately wanting to rec but at the moment let's start with this one:

Crime in Magic City by chicago_ruth
Summary: September 1927: Chief of Police Tristan

Absolutely agree with you on this one! I was a little leery about reading it at first because I don't generally read threesome fics; like you said, someone (usually Gwaine) is either a third wheel or ends up unconvincingly dropped like a hot potato in favour of Arthur/Merlin. But I'm so glad I gave it a try; it's a fantastic fic!

I think the most impressive thing about the fic is that it has two things which are usually not actually carried through on most fan fictions: a mystery and a threesome. Both have a tendency to be dropped by the author. I was so happy this wasn't the case. Glad to see other people have also been enjoying it! (plus the artwork makes me want Colin, Eoin and Bradley to all do work in the 1920s ASAP).

awwww omg thank you so much. *blush* I'm glad you enjoyed it, I kept worrying about, well, everything.

Thank YOU for writing it! You had nothing to worry about, it was wonderful. :)

I just read this last night and I agree with you!!
The 1920s context and art was fascinating in their own right too.
Good on you to do recs- I figured I'd gather a few before I put my thoughts now- which is really to say I'm too lazy :p

I didn't plan on doing recs ... but I find it is always when I don't plan things they end up happening. lol.

I think I might have a separate art rec, because there are a few that are simply blowing me away!
