Happy Belated Birthday to you! Sorry I didn't get good wishes in on time, but I hope you had a good day and that lots of excellent stuff is coming your way! <3
Duuuuude, you need to rec me some Merlin fic. I've read around a bit in that fandom (mostly long AUs), so I'd love to hear what you've enjoyed! In return, I SHALL PIMP SHERLOCK FIC TO YOU, now that I've just started reading in that fandom (and when I say "reading" I mean constant immersion in the AO3 tags/picking out songs for my favorite pairings/imagining long fics I probably will never write)! You know you want it!
I hope your car is a-ok and just being an attention grabber!
Eee, thank you, I accept birthday wishes gratefully ALL YEAR ROUND!!
Oh man, I will try to see what I can do, although really I've been reading that epic 700k modern military AU by Footloose ... it's HUGE and wonderful and I'm guessing you probably read it since I think everybody has who has read anything? But I will go through what else I've read and see what I can find! Plus, my future plans include stalking marguerite_26 's past entries for her recs.
Oh man, that is what is SO GREAT about falling into a fandom that's huge and established and just has massive amounts of stuff and talented writers and *waves hands gleefully*
And if you think of any in particular (I tend to navigate Ao3 almost exclusively and usually focus top-down from length) that are amazing, I would beg and grovel for links. As, I am sure, entrenous88 may as well!
Also, EXTRA THANKS for the kudos on my Unusuals fic! It was with a squee of joy that I recognized your name on the notification this morning :)
Right now I'm mostly reading modern AUs because like I said, I haven't seen a SINGLE episode yet (which, haha, may end up changing this weekend, I have a FEELING). In which case, I may end up reading more canon-y stuff!
And ohh, what I love (and hah, this is almost universal for me, across fandoms) is the dance around getting together, give me lots and lots of UST (that then becomes RST) and I am happpy. Particularly if there's are guilty feelings or power imbalance or a mistaken belief that the feeling/lust is unrequited.
For some reason, I got all organized in Merlin fandom. Everywhere else my recs are a mess. *g*
It sounds like Merlin modern aus are perfect for you. the dance around getting together, give me lots and lots of UST (that then becomes RST) is exactly what Merlin Mod AUs is full of!
BUT BUT BUT WATCH CANON!!! Canon is really great. I mean...it's sorta lame and badly written but the good bit are BRILLIANT. And it truly is an epic love story of Merlin and Arthur, from beginning to end. (am actually watching rn, because Canada's syfy channel is doing a marathon FOR 4 DAYS!!!)
Ok, that will be my plan this weekend, I will spend at least part of it watching Merlin S1! There really is something gloriously self-indulgent about badly-written shows where it's really ALL about the relationships and the jumping off points for fic, mmm.
