Aliens - Rec List for April Merlin Bingo
The April challenge for Merlin Bingo is to do a reclist for one of your squares. I've chosen Aliens - there were more than I expected and some really good ones (naturally)! Here are a few:
The pale moons gleaming by Cordeliadelayne
Five times Merlin lost his magic while waiting for Arthur's return, and one time he got it back.
Cordy is a lovely writer (and person) who I normally see in my other fandom so had to stop and have a look at this one. It's very poignant but ultimately hopeful and of course very well written.
Starman (waiting in the sky) by Polomonkey
Arthur gets probed by an alien named Emrys. (Heed the warnings)
This is actually a lot sweeter than the summary suggests. And the title is Bowie so that always wins with me.
Set the Falling night ablaze by Vienna Jones and art by FreyaFenris/thegorgon experiment
When the Covert Alien and Mythical Enemy Lifeforms Observation Taskforce discovers a mysterious artefact in the wilderness of Alaska, Arthur Pendragon is forced to call in help from another alien intelligence agency. Unfortunately, this also means that Arthur will have to work with the last person he ever wanted to see again: Merlin.
This is a wonderful long read with fabulous world-building, and the art is beautiful (sadly some of the links in the actual fic aren't working at the moment, but the link above will take you to the art). And I am always there for Arthur getting a dragon!
My kinds of madness by Schweet Heart
Star Trek crossover/fusion. Merlin has a secret. (Un)fortunately, Arthur is about to find out what it is.
Second place winner for Pornalot 2017 Challenge #3 (Kink Link).
Ahahah this was fun! Merlin goes into heat, can't really say anything more as it's so short, but definitely worth a read!
