any figure skating fics?

A Legend in the Making by TheCourtSorcerer (@thecourtsorcerer)

"I hate to admit it, but you are one of the best figure skaters I’ve met and coached.” He kept his gaze above neck level, voice stern as he tried to knock some sense into Merlin’s head. “So, you’ve fumbled the landing in…a few—”

“Every,” Merlin corrected him, voice strained.

“Okay, every practice,” Arthur continued through gritted teeth, “but you’re nearly there.”

Or

"Legend In The Making" Figure Skater Merlin is ready to make Olympic history...maybe. Luckily his coach, retired Olympic Skater, Arthur Pendragon, is ready to reassure him.

~~~

ugh this fic is so well written and brought back so many memories of keeping my fingers crossed for the recent olympics

2. Rockers and Counters by a_big_apple (@a-big-apple)

Arthur wants to win and kick Merlin’s skinny ass out there; he wants Merlin to skate his absolute best and show the world what he can do; he wants to bend Merlin backward over the boards and kiss the living daylights out of him on international television.

~~~

i screamed when i got to the end

3. More to Life Than Glory by Darkravenwrote

Merlin's dreamed about it his whole life. He didn't think about the stress of it all, though. Gwen's creepy stalker guy isn't helping matters either. for the Merlin_Olympics 2014 on LiveJournal.

meet cute/the typical merthur meet ugly but on ice ver

merthur fic recs: stop the marriage!

you gotta love some drama sometimes

1. all eyes on me by TheCourtSorcerer (@thecourtsorcerer)   

The room was clearly divided, the right Vivian’s family and the left Arthur’s. Merlin was seated on the left, and surprisingly no one was in his row. Arthur’s closet friends were all in the second row of the left side—Leon, Gwen, Percival, Elyan, even Gwaine and Lancelot… A sharp stab of hurt hit him in the chest as he saw two of his own best friends had been invited, yet he—Arthur’s best friend—hadn’t been. He could only think it was Uther’s doing.

Uther sat in the front row, with Morgana to his right looking less than pleased, and Agravaine sitting down to his left.

Merlin let his eyes drift to the right side, and sighed softly. Vivian’s family was dressed in all bright or pastel colours—it looked quite like Easter threw up on them. A great contrast to Arthur’s side, who looked instead like they were attending a funeral.

 Or

It’s Arthur’s wedding day, except, there’s only one problem.

He’s marrying the wrong person.

~~~

y’all ever just,,, love reading fics where uther is told to go fuck himself

2. have you heard the news [it’s in the post] by TheCourtSorcerer (@thecourtsorcerer​)      

No matter how many times he read it, though, the image and headline stayed the same.

Arthur Pendragon, Son of Uther Pendragon of Pendragon Industries, set to marry Millionaire Cenred King within the month!  

Or

Arthur & Merlin have been in a committed relationship for just over a year, when one day, Merlin checks the paper to see his worst fear come true.

Arthur is marrying another man.

~~~

the angst!!!!

3. My Peace, Forever Held by sirencalls (@dykemunson)

Merlin never thought getting Arthur drunk on his stag night would be anything but hilariously embarrassing for Arthur. What he never expects is a drunken confession that makes him rethink the last ten years of his and Arthur’s friendship, the amount of alcohol a person should be allowed to drink, and the wedding that’s taking place in less than twenty-four hours.

~~~

reading this lowkey gave me sherlock s3 flashbacks (but with unrepressed gay) but thankfully this ends a lot better and a lot cuter <3

merthur fic recs: arranged marriages

1. and you held me tightly (‘til the morning) by Imagined (@burglarhobbit)

Merlin ducks forward, grabbing Arthur’s hands. His are cool and soft, and Arthur is surprised by the feel of Merlin’s palm over his own rough knuckles. “Arthur,” he says pointedly. “I know my duty, and I don’t need you to remind me. Are you always like this?”

“Like what?”

“Annoying,” Merlin says, and leans back, appraising him more thoughtfully than his tone suggests. “So concerned with your honour.”

Or: Arthur must marry Lord Emrys for a year to create an alliance between their people. Except it isn’t Emrys who comes to marry him, but the young druid Merlin, who soon turns all of Camelot upside down—and Arthur with it.

~~~

ugh oblivious and pining!arthur never fails to slap

2. At Arm’s Length by sirencalls (@naydran)

“I’m sorry, there must be a mistake.” Uther furrows his brows. “That is my son’s manservant.”

“This is Emrys, the most powerful sorcerer who will ever walk the earth. It is our deepest honor to be able to offer his hand to your son.”

“Merlin?” Arthur asks, looking across the hall. Merlin looks the palest and the smallest Arthur has ever seen him. He looks like a scared animal that knows it’s about to be trapped, and that’s when it clicks for Arthur that no part of this is a joke. None of it. “Merlin, what are they talking about?”

~~~

my heart ached so hard reading this fic

3. So The Story Goes by TheCourtSorcerer (@thecourtsorcerer​)

“Who am I to wed?”  

Balinor and Hunith shared a nervous glance. Balinor knew this would be the hardest part—he wasn’t the most pleased about it either, but it was the best idea he had and, well, at least he knew his son would be marrying into a good family.

Even if he held his own biases against the patriarch.

Merlin stared on, expectant—arms now crossed over his chest in perhaps the least princely manner Balinor could picture. Hunith pulled her hand from his knee, and he braced himself, head high and shoulders back.

“Arthur Pendragon,”

 or

Balinor & Uther have a deep mistrust of each other due to a petty feud in their past friendship, and therefore the only way to bring their kingdoms together is through marriage–the only way they’ll trust one another to not destroy their kingdom is if they are united.

fadhfkdsj probably the fluffiest fic in this rec list and we love them for it

[namelessayakashi]

[namelessayakashi]

trying to find a balance between my frightening amount of wips is ALSO harder than necessary fhakdkkfkg

Trying to find a balance between writing and work is harder than necessary

[namelessayakashi]

I love how all of the Batman villains are like “ah he’s not at the manor, it’s defenseless! and then alfred just racks an AK-47 and is like pull up bitch

[namelessayakashi]

Trying to find a balance between writing and work is harder than necessary

[namelessayakashi]

"old friends" is an underrated relationship dynamic because it's such an innocent boring sounding term for what is usually some of the wildest shit imaginable. it's always like 'oh yeah we go way back, we have history' and then you find out that history includes sex, drugs, murder, divorce, war crimes and The Incident

[namelessayakashi]

Dude has a death wish

[namelessayakashi]

going back to work after three days of lying on the couch can be very traumatic

[namelessayakashi]

[becomes supervillain] [spends the entire time giving subtle set-ups to cool lines the hero could say]

[namelessayakashi]

Just because you did something wrong in the past doesn’t mean you can’t advocate against it now. It doesn’t make you a hypocrite. You just grew. Don’t let people use your past to invalidate your current mindset.
