Summary: The props department is hosting a Halloween Party, and Jenny from Make-up, Rene from Costume and Marie, a 2nd A/D have something very special planned for the talent show….if they can just get a certain TV star to agree. (Bradley is confused, Angel and Katie think he’s nuts and Colin….well, Colin…..)

Comment: this is one of the funniest things I've ever read, it makes me cry it's so good! But it's slightly halloween-y so it fits the holiday ;) enjoy!

The Lark (The Beau Brummel Remix) || Glim

Rating: Teen Word Count: 1600 Type: other!au

Summary: Arthur gallantly resists for nearly a fortnight. Merlin, however, does not, nor does he need to.

Comment: I’ve never read a fic in this era before (regency) and actually really liked it! It was nice to watch Arthur try and resist something he obviously wanted very much, and all the gentle touches Merlin gives to him are really sweet and so innocent!

Love Well, Dine Well || Reginalds

Rating: General Word Count: 2000 Type: modern!au

Summary:  I wrote this story a couple of years ago because it was autumn, and I baked a tray of pumpkin muffins. I love Merlin as an eccentric baker who woos Arthur with good food. There is nothing complicated here: just a little bit of flour on cheekbones, free fudge squares, and a happy ending.

Comment: This is the most adorable fic in the universe. It makes me feel warm and happy and gooey inside. Everything is orange and happy, there's no sadness at all so if you need cheering up read it a die of happiness.
