The Words I Wish I Said by heartsocold
“You didn’t see that coming?” by InTooManyFandomsRay
[Last list]
in no particular order, here are a few of my faves i've read in the last 6 months or so (as someone relatively new to the fandom, so apologies if you've already read all of these!)
To Be A Hero - fancyh | 78k words | rating: M
Modern magical AU where Merlin is a forensic scientist by day, magical vigilante by night, and Arthur is the police detective trying to catch him. SECRET IDENTITIES! SUCH A SLAY!
Charting Stars on a Stained Glass Ceiling - mornmeril | 80k words | rating: E | 🎙️podfic by Amanita_Fierce
Futuristic scifi AU, with a love potion, forced proximity and fake dating. Such a beautiful build, and so much yearning. And the podfic is SO PROFFESSIONAL. This fic feels so addictive, and it genuinely has ALL of my favourite tropes
The Arduous Taming of a Difficult Prat - Saladscream | 55k words | Rating: E
SUCH a good canon era fic that made me cry like a baby (in the best way)
My Way Home is Through You - evaelisaa, Leandra | 118K words | rating: E
I still think about this fic to this day. IT'S AMAZING. Such a genius blend of canon and modern era.
of course anything and everything written by horsecrazy
and I finished the Loaded March series by footloose earlier this year, which was excellent and definitely worth the time inverstment
and as a last resort, if you've read all of these amazing works, I am writing a dumb little Farmer Wants a Wife AU because why the hell not
Help! I think I’ve run out of good #Merthur fics! Share your fave??
