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

[spacemonkeyluvn]

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!!!!!!!!!

OK, really quite flattered at the lovely fic interest. Hope it'll live up to your expectations!

I'm interested in that fic you recced, but the link doesn't seem to be working right. Could I have it again? :-)

[spacemonkeyluvn.livejournal.com]

WOW, I'm some kind of genius. I put the title but not the link! While I correct that, here ya go :) http://marguerite-26.livejournal.com/496538.html

Thanks!

I feel awful for not reading khavi's/roadstergirl's fic yet too because they are my favorite Red Dwarf fic writers, so I know every fandom they touch will be fantastic.

ALSO ALSO ALSO I found us some Shassie recs. Well, one person, but she wrote a few nice long chaptered things that I adore.

So here, check out nixa_jane's shawn/lassie stuff

Yeah, I have an email I sent to myself with a list of links to stories for me to read and it's loooooong.

Sweet! I'll have to check that out. Danke ♥

Exactly. My favorite type of first time stories are the ones that gradually lead up to the romantic/sexual relationship. It's interesting to see the characters' journey towards one another.

[spacemonkeyluvn.livejournal.com]

Totally. I mean, if it were all about the sexin' it wouldn't matter who the characters were. But since I've fallen for these characters, I want to read about them falling for each other too. Then again, I've known I was a bit of a hopeless romantic since I was like 9 so... :)

Well put.

:) I'm somewhat of a hopeless romantic, myself.
