Ahahaha...I am so glad to have dragged you into the silly, wonderful world that is Merlin fandom. (I recently saw the show described as visual fanfiction, where the original legends are canon.

-anything by phantomjam
- THIS, because...because...just read it.

There's a lot more, but because I'm actually sitting in the middle of Bizzell writing this (SERIOUSLY, IT EATS YOUR BRAIN) instead of at home with my computer and my favorites list, this is all for now. Expect more once I get home from class.

- That Shall Achieve the Sword (bonus points for actually incorporating some real Arthurian legend in this one!)
- Peach, Plum, Pear
- Brevity of Sensation (post ep. 7)
- If At Any Point You Were Thinking (post ep. 13)
- I'll Be Here (post ep. 13)
- The Calm After the Storm (post ep. 13)
- Our Horizon is the Creation (through ep. 11)
- Quickening Days
- Bookends (and everything else by this author)
