Author's Week: 8x12x8

When Arthur was small his Majesty locked him away because Arthur is a monster. Now Merlin wants to let Arthur out to prove that he is not.

Canon AU Rating: PG-13 Author: skellerbvvt Wordcount: 54,622 Well, that was a ride. A painful one. But the author makes the impossible -- she manages to allow us to understand what’s going through Arthur’s head even when he doesn’t understand it well enough. The descriptions are very vivid, and it is bittersweet most of the time, and it hurts, and hurts, and hurts, but it is good too, because it is so believable in a fantastic sort of way and I enjoyed it very much. Just, be ready to feel emotional about this one because it really hurts. Rating: A

A Issue Of Proper Protocol (Country Boys Are Shameless)

Wherein Arthur is considering how one goes about asking one’s manservant if he would like to be tied up, and said manservant is sort of depraved.

Canon (Pre-S3) Rating: NC-17 Author: skellerbvvt Wordcount: 7,922 So, this is a PWP with some BDSM kinks. Also, clothes kink. But the very fun thing about it is that isn’t really a PWP - you get to feel the characters, the mood and their relationship before the actual sex comes around. And Arthur thinks a lot about the sex when he should be doing other things. Also, Morgana is amazing and makes me laugh. It’s good humored, fun, sexy and really brings a good mood with it. Rating: B

Author's Week: Preparations Of Unquiet Nature

Arthur is prepared to do what is necessary to honor Camelot, even if he doesn’t want to. Merlin is prepared to do what is necessary to help him.

Canon AU Rating: PG-13 Author: skellerbvvt Wordcount: 3,711 This story is heart-breaking. It has a unique delicacy in its moments, and a pain that goes far beyond the words written. My heart goes out for them. Rating: A

Author's Week: Favorite

Merlin had, horror of horrors, never gotten drunk a day in his life which was rather a crime, and Arthur, as the Prince, was duty-bound to eliminate crime.

Canon (Pre-S2) Rating: NC-17 Author: skellerbvvt Wordcount: 3,224 This is a typical naive!druken!Merlin story, and it is at the same time hot and a bit... creepy, since it has a creepy Arthur in it. I love how Merlin is very touch-y during it. Rating: B

Author's Week: Polishing Buttons

Polishing buttons doesn’t mean what you think it means, unless it does, then it does, with bells on.

Canon (Pre-S3) Rating: PG-13 Author: skellerbvvt Wordcount: 5,014 This one is just ADORABLE. Merlin is absolutely oblivious and it is ADORABLE. Right now the innocent!Merlin troope, and made me smile as a teenage girl as I read it, even though I had been up all night. Just.... ugh! I want to hold him close and never let him go! (You would too) Rating: A
