fic & vid rec - Merlin and Jurassic Park respectively ;)

I don't often rec fic. I get nervous about telling people what I like for some reason. *shrug* I have been reading some really good fic lately though. Mostly Sherlock. Surprise, surprise. I will actually be in a couple fandoms, but only read for my 'main' one. IDK. And often times the fic for pairings I ship are too OOC or they just feel weird to me. For instance, I like House/Wilson, but I don't really like reading fic about them. I love Peter/Neal, but same thing. And I love Merlin/Arthur, but there are so many high school/modern AUs and fics that just aren't what I'm looking for. Merlin can be a cracky/silly show, but it also has a serious side. When it comes to Merlin fic, I like it to be a little longer and have more of a plot. Maybe because there's an element of mythology and history to it that I just love. Nothing wrong with porn, but give me some story too.

TL;DR
Read this fic - These Castle Walls Bleed Lies (Merlin/Arthur) R and spoilers for all aired episodes (especially the most recent finale because it takes place after that)

Also, I feel bad because I haven't read roadstergal and kahvi's latest work in the Sherlock fandom. I've been terrible at reading and instead spending most of my time at holmesverse. But I've set aside tomorrow so I can properly read it and not do my usual 'hey, I think I'll start this long fic even though it's 1am and I'm kind of tired' and then stay up all night and not even remember what I've read the next day! *headdesk*

Oh, and since I'm already here, a vid rec because DINOSAURS HAVE FEELINGS TOO!!!!!!!!!

a Picture a Day meme

Idea stolen from midnightwhisper: For the month of February I'm going to post a picture each day. Could be of anything. I suppose if you have any particular requests, I could also give them a shot. (Gah! I apparently speak in puns on a regular basis, but I don't realize it until it's too late.) Anyhoo, let's just pretend that I finished that whole Advent Calender meme and enjoy this new one :)
