Emroomie by supercalvin

details:

modern au, teen, 1997 words

summary:

Merlin has just moved into a new flat, but his new roomie thinks he’s a bit odd.

comment:

this maybe the only person who can write for pornalot without actually using porn. I laughed so hard about that one, seriously, go read it, you wont regret it. They write with such a stunning sort of humour, is really hilarious. And its actually told mostly through merlins twitter and vlog, I have no idea how that even makes sense, but it does. This is so good, trust me.

Fractured Magic

Author: LunaCanisLupa_22

Rating: E

Setting: Modern Magic AU

Word Count: 141,730

Summary:

“Oi!” Merlin shouts. “People are trying to study in here. Piss off somewhere else!”

“What did you say, spellbegger?” he calls back, tone arrogant and haughty like just about every other Knight on Campus. “Come down here and say that to my face.”

Or the Sky High AU where Knights and Magic Users attend University to learn how to fight evil magic and Merlin and Arthur do not get along. Until they do.

Comments: This fic. I mean, the worldbuilding is well done and  their relationship is full of pining and Merlin is all kinds of badass, so if you love any of those things then read this fic

[mayonnaisetoffees]

What are your favorite Merthur fics? I’m always dying to find new ones because I feel like I’ve read them all!

Hi! Sorry about the delay for this. I know that feeling exactly. I’m going to plug my favourites here, but a lot are probably quite well known so apologies if you’ve read them all! (Also apologies if I’m not particularly up to date, I’ve been on a Les Mis kick for a while)

First of all, the classics, in case anyone new to the fandom is reading this, or in case I get messages saying I missed the obvious ones: The Student Prince by FayJay, Drastically Redefining Protocol by rageprufrock (which played out of my phone for half an hour in a silent library while I had headphones connected to my laptop and so didn’t hear… a piece of me died that day.), Ashes, Embers, Flames by unpossible, and Not in this Land Alone by torakowalski.

Next up is my shameless plug for Loaded March by Footloose which, if anyone knows anything about me, they know I love this series and rec it at every possible opportunity. To read me talk about it longer, go here. Otherwise head to the fic here. It is a mammoth series of sixteen parts totalling 1,261,720 words, and I can’t believe that it finished three and a half years ago, it feels like it was much more recently! There’s also 76k of Loaded March ExtrasWe Are All Diamonds, also by Footloose, is a masterpiece. It is the story of Merlin and Arthur meeting just after Arthur’s parents die because Arthur needs a translator for his big speech. Click on it, and thank me later.It also includes (yes, I’ve said it before and I will say it again) the most beautiful extended metaphor I’ve ever read in my entire life.

Paint the World Orange and Blue by ingberry podfic by fire_juggler is an absolute chicken soup read/listen. Merlin wrote a popular graphic novel, and Arthur is trying to adapt it into a film. It’s written so honestly and it just sucks you right into the world.

I know that we all already know that if in doubt, head to lady_ragnell, but I still need to specifically talk about But It’s A Good Refrain and Every Story is a Love Story. The former has Merlin as a radio host, who Arthur offends, then apologises to, and when Merlin accepts the apology on-air without saying who it’s from, the fans assume it’s a secret boyfriend. The latter has an Arthur who, as head of a romance publishing company, is so desensitised to romance that he doesn’t even notice the romcom he’s living.

The One Where Merlin and Arthur Attempt to Have a Tasteful Wedding and Spartacus and the Open Taxi Door by fuzzytomato are both wonderfully fluffy. The wedding one is 21k of wedding antics, and the latter is 8.6k of chicken soup fic.

Seven Magpies by syllic is the best Merlin-and-Arthur-switch fic I’ve come across. Arthur is transported to a land in which he serves Merlin, and magic is a part of life. Easy There by the same author is a great uni!AU in which the boys are rowers at Cambridge.

Fundamental Imperfection by Starlingthefool: in which Arthur and Merlin are authors who argue over Dickens ~hilarity ensues~

Catch Me a Catch by giselleslash is such a fun fic where Merlin uses his magic to be a matchmaker.

Defenders of the Realm is a modern!AU by lamardeuse and is absolutely amazing. However, it does has non-related Uther/Morgana in it (not my cup of tea, but didn’t detract from my enjoyment of the fic) so be aware of that if it’s something that squicks you out.

A Beacon in the Dark by ZairaA with art by crimsonswirls. I had the privilege of being a beta for ZairaA a while back, and the writing style is so beautiful. In this fic, magic users are persecuted, and when Arthur goes to takes on a murder case, the defendant turns out to be Merlin, his childhood friend who disappeared at sixteen.

I actually don’t remember what happens in In Your Name by Bohemia, but I remember reading it, and as soon as I saw the title, I felt a wave of emotions come over me, so my subconscious not only remembers it, but thoroughly recommends it!

Also: just a lil advert for the podficcer who got me into listening to podfic, lunchee. Her voice is amazingly suited for podfics, and I love them.

Hope at least one of these is one you haven’t read!

[marionetteblues]

James and Lily Muggle au where James is on Lily's cousins soccer team and Lily and James are massively crushing on one another which her cousin isn't happy about

Summer isn’t really the perfect time to be suddenly without a single friend. In the movies and in the books, the girl always moves town right before the start of the year, and after being graciously accepted into a wonderful group of friends, she meets the love of her life. Lily is not this girl. Lily’s family had moved town exactly two weeks into her summer holidays, and since it’s too far a distance to travel, she’s currently stuck with only her older sister and the one cousin who happens to live in this town for company.

Andrew, her cousin, is really a very nice boy, whom she hasn’t seen since she was eleven years old. He’s very like her in appearance; green eyes, russet hair and a wide smile that one can never dislodge.

He’s very nice to her when she arrives. Petunia has already taken to ignoring her, and spends an awful lot of time in her room, decorating it. Which is fine by Lily, because they don’t have much to talk about anymore. So Andrew becomes her best friend, which is kind of sad, but Lily’s still hoping that this will change once she starts school in September.

Andrew brings her around the town and shows her shortcuts and the best places to buy coffee and the newsagent’s that she should give her custom, because it’s run by one of his mate’s parents.

They’ve been hanging around each other about two weeks, and Lily’s realized that she and Andrew have a lot in common. They like a lot of the same books and movies, and even if they haven’t seen much of each other, they always seem to find something to talk about. It’s around this time that Andrew brings up football. And that’s where the whole love of her life thing comes in.

hi! since u mentioned it, what are your fave trc au's (not necessarily pynch)?

These are all going to be Pynch because I don’t really read for any other ship lmao. I already have an AU fic masterlist here so you should check that out first, but I haven’t updated it in ages so here are some more favorites!

Came in Like a Thunderstorm by renlybaratheon (M, WIP, 155k)  (First of all read everything by this author, she is the queen of AU’s)

Notting Hill AU! Mentioned this in the other list but I have to again. Adam as a famous actor and Ronan as a bookstore owner and it has tween Opal who is snarky and hilarious, an all time fave.

don’t take the money by renlybaratheon (T, Completed, 118k)

10 Things I Hate About You AU! Also already mentioned but it’s one of my absolute favorites. This fic is really funny and adapts the movie beautifully and Pynch’s dynamic in it is wonderful and fun to read and there is so much tension I love it. 

i’ll be there for you by renlybaratheon (M, WIP, 51k)

F.R.I.E.N.D.S. AU with Pynch as Monica/Chandler and the whole arc of them keeping it a secret and the rest of the friends finding out, it’s really amazing so far!

you came out of nowhere by renlybaratheon (T, One Shot, 15k)

A wrong number AU and my absolute favorite fic about Pynch falling in love over text/social media/etc. 

should’ve left my phone at home (‘cause this is a disaster) by shinealightonme (T, One Shot, 4.5k)

Adam works at the Apple store and Ronan keeps breaking his phone in ridiculous ways. One of my favorite meet cutes. 

come out of the cupboard, you boys and girls by shinealightonme (T, One Shot, 5k)

Roommates + accidental baby acquisition AU! Super cute & funny.

Word on the Street by shinealightonme (T, One Shot, 7k)

Superhero AU where Ronan as the Greywaren keeps saving a very put out Adam who is working as a journalist. 

I’ve Got You Under My Skin by shinealightonme (T, One Shot, 11k)

Tattoo Parlor AU where Ronan is a tattoo artist and works with Blue and Henry, and Adam comes in to get a tattoo.

darling, don’t make such a drama by shinealightonme (T, One Shot, 20k)

Ronan is a bartender at a restaurant where Adam comes in for a failed date every week. Not strictly Pynch, has a lot of Ronan/Henry/Blue friendship and bonding too! 

I wanna hold your hand by tinyarmedtrex (M, WIP, 6.5k)

College AU where Pynch are best friends and Ronan is pining after Adam. Uses some of my favorite slow burn tropes and is really cute thus far.

Say You Won’t Let Go by ungoodpirate (T, Completed series, 14k)

Series of three fics where Pynch first meet at a party, later including their established relationship. I love the first two parts especially!

Screw Poetry, It’s You I Want by intertwiningsouls (T, WIP, 10k)

Adam is dealing with a crush on his best friend Ronan and getting notes from a secret admirer in his locker. Super adorable. 

go on, I dare you by emmerrr (T, Completed series, 10k)

Series of two fics with masseuse Adam, and Ronan coming in as a client with a bad back. Second part is their first date. Really cute!

not that damn impossible by douxamer (E, One Shot, 16k)

Non Magical AU where Pynch become friends earlier than they do in canon and Ronan’s family is alive. Great friends to lovers fic. 

Teachers by mamaw_mccall (T, Completed series, 7k)

Teacher AU, a series of two fics where Adam teaches science, Ronan teaches Latin, and of course all the students ship them. 

10 yards to go by ListenOak (M, WIP, 35k)

Very close to canon except Ronan and Gansey are on the football team. The slow burn between Adam and Ronan is so good.
