We All Write Our Own Endings

We All Write Our Own Endings Rating: explicit Words: ~23.000 Ship: Brolin Author: nu_breed Summary:

Five years ago after Merlin ended, Bradley headed for LA and success. Homesick and dissatisfied, he returns to the UK and a challenging film project, but he hadn't banked on having to work with the last person he wanted to see: Colin.

Review:

It seems like it's been so long since I've read a Brolin fanfic. But I like to do so and I want you to offer both equally. But it's really hard to find good (and long) ones. If you know of any I haven't read yet, please do tell me (: And this one is really different to what I usually read. But juicy all the same. When I read the description, I first thought that they had a huge fight back then or so but it turns out that they had been together and broke up. So it's a huge mess when they discover that they are playing the lead roles in a film together again.

But not only that, the main character, played by Bradley, is gay. So is his matching part, played by Colin. They have to fake kisses and a sex scene and it's confusing. 

Best thing about it is that Colin already has a boyfriend. And it's not Bradley. 

How will they cope with it?

It's about longing and it's so confusing for both of them. I really had fun reading it! It shows a totally different side to both of the actors and you should read it also (:

It Seems I Can't Let Go

It Seems I Can't Let Go Rating: explicit Words: ~5.000 Ship: Brolin Author: nu_breed Summary:

Colin is oh so very Catholic and not at all gay, thank you very much. He doesn't fall in love with blokes, he just really likes having sex with them is all. Denial is not just a river in Egypt, either.

Review:

Aw, perfect. Just perfect. Colin has been struggling with his sexuality his whole life until he meets Bradley James as his new Co-Star.  He had other guys before him since he stopped seeing his best friend with whom he was in love. He had tried keeping girlfriends. But he was always happier on his knees on bathroom floors.

And, well, why does Bradley suddenly want to watch gay films with him? Oh, full of longing sweetness. I liked how it started in his childhood and ended with Bradley. How he was always unsure about himself, went to mass and always thought it as a sin. Until Bradley changed his mind. G'naw. Also, smut!

Give It A Tug

Rating: explicit Words: ~9.000 Ship: Brolin Author: SlantedKnitting Summary:

Bradley is really truly completely sure that Colin is straight. But then Colin lets another man touch his bowtie and Bradley suddenly realizes how really truly completely blind he's been.

Review:

Read this today at school and on bus (on my new phone BECAUSE MY BLOODY SECOND KINDLE DIED, TOO. FUCK YOU, AMAZON!). Really brightened up my day! I loved so many things about it. That the characters felt real, they behaved really the way you would expect them to. I loved that Bradley did not realise that Colin is not straight and also that he may like him a bit too much. I liked that Colin stood by his opinion after the fight and that he did not give in at first. And I loved that it ended, of course, happy.

The author is brilliant, though. There were a few fantastic sentences! Remarkable.  Really lovely for in between!

It's A Little Bit Funny (This Feeling Inside)

It's A Little Bit Funny (This Feeling Inside) Rating: explicit Words: ~48.500 Ship: Brolin Author: accordingtomel Summary:

When an editing error accidentally makes it on the air, Bradley is forced to take a step back and re-evaluate his relationship with his co-star.

Review:

Oh, boy. I really should read more Brolin - because that one is so utterly cute. I especially like the way the author has put her thoughts into this story. It starts with the end and the author explains everything in between, like a film that runs through Bradley's head when he stands soaked wet before Colin's flat. 

That may be confusing at first, but it gets cleared up so quickly and well, you'll immediately get lost in the story. And it's such a great one. Bradley doesn't realise he's in love with Colin at first. Just this little ... editing error confuses him terribly. And then Colin stays at his place for a few weeks, the next thing Bradley knows is him cooking vegetarian and then it seems like Colin's got himself a girlfriend and then there's jealousy and-  YES.

The Colour Of Cartoon Sunshine

The Colour Of Cartoon Sunshine Rating: explicit Words: ~35.000 Ship: Brolin Author: junkshop_disco Summary:

As filming for the second series draws to a close, Colin thinks his biggest problem is evading one of Bradley’s goodbye hugs. It isn’t. It’s that he’s about to do something that’s fourteen different kinds of stupid: fall in love. 

Review:

May I present to you - my favourite brolin fanfiction ever. Yeah, I haven't read as many as I have read Merthur fanfiction yet, but I can still say that this one got everything you've ever wished for. I was so extremely satisfied after reading this, I can't really explain why. Although I can try!

It has awkward Bradley and (especially) Colin in their early stages, you can see how their friendship slowly develops. It is in fact so very Colin and Bradley likely, it could have happened in real life - and this is scary. 

There is longing and misunderstandings and love and nice smut and humor! I was constantly thinking "Oh, well! It'd be nice, if this or that could happen!" - and in the next chapter it actually happened. And not in that "I told you so, this story is boring, you can see right through the plot"-kind of way. It is really entertaining and lovely, oh God!
