Baby, Bend Over [Game Changers, Hollanov]

Baby, Bend Over by TemporaryAltars 

Shane is convinced that Ilya Rozanov—captain of the Boston Bears and Shane’s newest student—hates him. 

Ilya joined Shane's yoga class specifically to get closer to the hot instructor, but every attempt at flirting only seems to make things worse. 

Neither of them has any idea the other is completely in love with them.

I hate this fandom for one reason and one reason only (okay I probs could find more reasons but Im lazy). I can always see myself in Shane, in one or another. I can understand him way too well, can relate to him and so on. Which is a first for me. Seriously. 

Maybe thats also the reason why I keep reading these fics and loving them so much. Mostly Im just over the series and cant be bothered to rewatch or reread the books. But the fics. 

Yea. This one just hit me the right way. No clue even why. But yea. I should be working and being a functional adult, instead Im reading these two fuckers fall in love again and again. 

rozanov's roster [Game Changers, Hollanov, multichapter]

rozanov's roster by gurlsrool 

Emmy: When did you first hook up with him? 
Jane: 2010 
Caro: WHAT 
Megan: GIRL 
Tia: SEVEN YEARS?? 
Megan: My jaw is borderline unhinged rn 

Or: In 2017, Shane finds a place where he can talk about his sex life...a group chat for girls who have slept with Ilya Rozanov

Why am I back reading WIP fics? Like yea, there are completed fics that I have not read yet. Some of them are even pretty fucking good (probs I could like them even better than this one). So the fucking point being what? Idk. I dont wanna know. 

To be fair, I have subscribed to like ten? WIP fics and I hate those emails that there is a new chapter. Hate them with passion. On top of that, I have stopped reading half of them after like two updated. Just yea. The waiting is not for and I cant even justify the whole thing.

This on the other hand? Fuck. Cant stop reading, cant stop re-reading. Love it. Its unhinged. Its best. Its weird. Ist just so everything. I dont even know. 

And I may be a little bit addicted to all these texting fics. Dont tell anyone, please. 

(We Could Be) Something Great [Game Changers, Hollanov, multichapter, nc-17]

(We Could Be) Something Great by Anonymous 

When Ilya Rozanov goes down on the ice, the Boston Bears are already moving to defend their captain. No one expects Shane Hollander, captain of the Montreal Voyageurs, to be the one who throws the first punch. 

Or: the Boston Bears figure out Ilya and Shane’s relationship first—and decide that instead of letting their captain move to fucking Ottawa, they’ll just kidnap a his boyfriend instead. Shane Hollander would make a better Bear anyway. 

I am really stuck to the whole idea of Shane being traded to Boston. I love the idea, I love how the team reacts to it, how it affects everything and just how these two idiots are going to survive the whole ordeal.

The only thing I hate is that all of these fics are WIP. There are like three complete fics and I dont like them that much. So I had to switch to WIP fics and thats just a huge pain in my ass. I hate the waiting game and hoping that the fic will get finished and I hope I dont forget about them. Yea. This is one of the WIP I started to read just because I need the stories. 

But I really liked this one. The whole kidnapping part and Shane finally understanding how Montreal maybe is a little bit shitty place for him. Okay. Thats not fair. How everyone in Montreal is basically bullying him and the environment is not good for him. That. I like that part.

So yea. Lots of things Im hooked up right now and hoping. I just wish there were more, but in time there will be. I just have to be patient.

Genuine callers only [Supernatural, Destiel, multichapter, nc-17]

Genuine callers only by Damsel in Shining Armour (Damsel_in_shining_armour) 

Dean's as alpha as they come, but he's also broke, he just lost his position as a mechanic and he needs a job desperately. So when he finds a job listing offering a position as personal omega companion to one Castiel Novak, well, he doesn't hesitate for very long before he picks up the phone. The job is of ‘intimate nature’, which means it’s not always glamorous, but turns out that working for Cas definitely has its perks. Now, if only Dean could manage to hide the fact that he's actually an alpha... 

// 

‘Have a good night, Dean’ Cas says, voice rough, as he hits the button to close the doors. Dean stands in front of the closed elevator for a few seconds before his brain goes back online and he drags himself away towards his own room. God, Castiel’s going to kill him one of these days. Either that, or he’s going to fuck him. Dean knows which one to hope for. 

// 

ABO but non-traditional. This is a story about an alpha-alpha couple. That having been said, you'll find the usual tropes, including power imbalances, the occasional dub-con moment and whatever the equivalent of sexism is in these kind of fics. 

I have been spoiled by all those super fluffy, cute Landoscar ABO fics. Thats the only reason why I even opened this. Seriously. This has everything I try to stay away from. All those crappy, over-sexualized, rapey things I dont really like to read about. 

But. At the same time there is something better and something worth the read. And this isnt even the worst I have read, this is pretty mild actually (even for a abo fic).

So what I am going to say is that I cried, I liked this but there were still things that are not my cup of tea. All that and maybe something else. 

So give it a change and maybe you will like it, or maybe not. Idk. It could really be worth it.

Change Your Win Condition [Game Changers, Hollanov, nc-17, multichapter]

Change Your Win Conditions by Vee (Vera_DragonMuse) 

Sometimes life came at you with a clenched fist and Ilya had never figured out how to duck. 

So here he was, twenty-eight years old, single, dealing with the fallout from injuries given to him by the game he loved, and the second youngest assistant coach in the league to one of the worst teams. Stability was hard to come by, but he was managing. 

Then along came Shane Hollander to knock him on his ass, one more time.

I dont usually read fics that are not finished. The main reason is that I forget about them and so I never will really finish them (even when I subscribe for them). Im also really impatient and hate waiting. So its just always easier to only read finished fics. 

But this. Someone recommended this in Reddit or somewhere and I opened it without second tought. I almost closed this when I noticed that this was WIP. But. The thing is, people recommend fics and 90 % time I hate those fics because they are generally bad somehow. So I didnt have high hopes about this and didnt even think I would read past first chapter. But damn was I wrong. So fucking wrong.

This is so fucking good. Seriously. I just cant really.

I really like the idea that this time it was Ilya who got the career ending injury and how Svetlana took care of him. I also really loved the timeline and how it fit the Game Changers timeline. Everything just was so damn perfect. Just everything.

So I am more than happy that I broke my rules and found this one. Thank fucking god. 

There is this one scene I fell in love with. The one where Ilya is struggling to tie his skates. He is just taking a moment, counting his breath with eyes closed. And then Shane comes and does it all for him. Basically no words exchanged. Just. That scene. Thats the one I fell in love with. The one part I just want to go and read it again and again and again. 

Everything else is just as good. My head is just stuck in that one scene and one scene only. Shit. 

Rumour Has It [F1, LandOscar, multichapter]

Rumour Has It by Noah_dlx 

Lando posts one (1) photo on Instagram and suddenly his entire fandom thinks he’s dating Oscar Piastri. He’s not. 
…Right?

Im gonna give credit where its due. And here it is. Like. Not just the actual storytelling but all those posts and articles and commenst to all of them. Just so well done. Usually I hate these kinds of fics, but here I really got hooked on the messaging and posts and comments and everything. At some point I didnt even wait for the actual storytelling, I just wanted to read more messages and their way of communication.

It would also be so easy to say that this lacks on something else. But it doesnt. Everything is top notch. Just everything. I spent my whole day reading this and I could probably do a reread right now. So, so good. 

And the thing here is that this is fun. This is different, this is trying something new. But most important part is the whole fun thing. I really like where Im getting lost. Like seriously. All these weird, little things that are just one adhd brain trying to find new hyperfixation. I really like all the vibes right now. Yea. No clue how else to say that.

Casual [F1, LandOscar, nc-17, multichapter]

 Casual by loquarocoeur 

“It won’t be weird," Lando insists. "It’ll be mutually beneficial. Convenient. You know, casual sex.” 

"Uh, considering we've got a perfectly nice friendship going here and you're also paying half the rent, that kind of sounds like a bad idea." 

"Look, Oscar, I’m really fucking desperate to get a dick in me right now and I'm already half hard. And you're no better, by the way. I say fuck it.” 

Alternatively: 
Lando thinks a casual sex arrangement is a great idea because he's an idiot. Oscar agrees to it because he's also an idiot. They figure it out eventually. 

What the actual fuck is wrong with me? This is a fucking monster and here is me thinking its a good idea to read this. What the actual fuck.

I still barely know who these guys are. I still dont know shit about F1 (you dont really need to do that to read this, this is some uni au, so that).

Okay. Still. What I really like is how they have conversation going on every time they fuck. There is checking up with each other that is something okay and if they should do something else. What I dont like is Landon being a idiot and not understanding anything about headspace and Oscar being an idiot who cant open his mouth about and ask. Jesus christ. Okay. It gets better. But still. Christ. They suck at really talking.

Everything gets better the further you go. It gets worse first and then it gets better. But thats like 99% of good fics (or stories in general). So the usual.

Im still liking their vibes. These kinda innocent little babies who are just doing everything. The vibes are just perfect for everything and the reason Im hooked. So maybe there is nothing wrong with me and I just need some innocent smut. Wait. No. This aint THAT innocent but you get the point. Thanks. 

And on top of all that. This is so well written that I just couldnt stop reading. I just. Why I have been finding so good fics lately? Why everything I read nowdays is just so perfect? What God has decided that I need good things in my life? 

your name like a song I sing to myself [Shameless, Gallavich, multichapter, nc17]

your name like a song I sing to myself by misandrywitch 

Mickey and Mandy Milkovich are the two halves of indie band 'Mandy and the Misdemeanors' and, against all odds, they're pretty good. That's about all Mickey has going for him though. He's expecting to slog through another long monotonous summer, make a little money playing some gigs and pass unnecessarily hot afternoons how he always has: drinking too much and wondering halfheartedly what feels like it's missing from his life.  

Until, that is, he meets a red-headed green-eyed bartender named Ian who charges into Mickey's life with a laugh, and who ensures that nothing will ever be the same

The thing I like most about in Shameless fics is trauma. I know that sounds super bad, but it just makes sense. Kinda. Its all this trauma that all these characters have and the fics wont ignore it or forger about (at least most of them wont). The trauma is there, its alive, the people are figuring their life around and it fucks with everything. 

Mickey getting almost killed because he loves guys? He has trauma from that, he is afraid every second of his life, but he tries to live. Thats the most beautiful part of this fic. The best part. Its awful, it shouldnt happen but no one gets better just by snapping fingers. They carry that shit, but they survive. 

The same goes with Ian's bipolar and Mandy's rape and whatnot. Its there, its alive and sucks ass. But somehow it brings something different and makes the fics just so much better. Thats the whole thing. Thats the best part.

Last of a Dying Breed [Shameless, Gallavich, nc-17]

Last of a Dying Breed by wildxwired 

After the death of his sociopathic PO, Ian’s sent to work at XK9, the dog rescue that gives second chances to the unwanted pets and ex-cons of the southside — and it just so happens to be run by the most unlikely success story of them all. 

I was not sure if I was ready to read a fic about dogs. I never really know if its gonna be on point or if the writer is just over bullshitting everything. But this. This one was so on point that I may have learned a lot ton of new things. Not saying that this 100 % correct in everything (like I would even know), but this is at least so close that I cant really point one thing that is wrong.

Everything else? Meh. I dont know. I liked how they had these huge crushes on each other and everyone else were just rooting for them. Also liked their background and how they knew each other from the back but didn't really interact that much. And Mandy is always awesome.

I liked Mickeys dogs. Cute little trouble makers who love their human and have their own personalities and problems. I kinda liked all the dogs here and all the side characters. Everything just went so well together and made a really solid story. Also everything affected everything in some way, which is just build on on itself. Hard to actually explain. Just so solid in every way.

 So. Totally worth it.  

You make me feel human [Shameless, Gallavich, nc-17]

You make me feel human by Dragona  

"Tell me about your years as an assassin." 

"That's a lot to tell," Gallagher says. "You're going to have to be more specific." 

"Tell me about Milkovich." 

The change in Gallagher's expression is immediate. His smile vanishes and his eyes go cold. Then he takes a deep breath, and laughs. "Oh, you want to know about Mickey." 

---- 

In which Ian is a cold-blooded serial killer with a soft spot for a certain South Side asshole.

I almost didnt want to read this, just because the way this began. With these two, I can't really read fics where there is not a happy ending. I dont really care about happy endings in other fandoms. Just go and kill everyone, let half of them rot in prison or whatever. But these two. They need a happy ending in my head and I cant read anything if Im not 100% sure they get that. 

The way this started, with Ian in prison and full on meds. That didnt really give me that much of hope. But I psyched myself to read this. I really did. At some point I was just super ready for Ian to kill himself, just so he could be with Mickey in afterlife. All that, so they dont have to live without each other. 

But the fic itself. It was so good, so well written. And all that mental, pschycopat stuff was way better than I would have even thought about. I liked how Ian kind of made sense, while in sometimes he was just so lost and only trying to survive. And probably only because the way he had grown up and how his whole life had been crap. 

And then Mickey. No words for him. Just none.  

The one thing I want to add, is that, this is not pretty fic with everyone trying to be the best version of themselves or even them trying to get a better life. No. This is everything but that. This is the one where everyone dies, people are violent, bloodthirsty and get boners when they kill others. This is everything that is somehow fucked up in the world.  

You Were Never a Saint (and I loved in shades of wrong) [Teen Wolf, Peter/Stiles, multichapter, nc-17]

You Were Never a Saint (and I loved in shades of wrong) by LadySlytherin

When Stiles has an unexpected encounter - and the best (only) sex of his life - with a supernatural mob boss, he knows immediately that it was a mistake. Peter Hale is a complication Stiles doesn't need in his life, no matter how compelling the alpha werewolf is. Then Stiles' little brother goes missing and the only person he can turn to for help is Peter. 

To Stiles' relief, Peter offers his assistance...but it doesn't come cheap. Desperate to save his brother, Stiles agrees, never dreaming just how steep the price would turn out to be. 

When Stiles finds himself being pulled deeper and deeper into Peter's world - a world full of dangerous supernatural creatures, passionate sex, and deadly intrigue - he will be forced to choose between the future he expected to have...and the man who might just be the love of his life.

I should learn to read the tags. I really should. I probably would never have opened this fic, if I had read all those tags. Because at some point, I had to double-check if this was mpreg fic (the vibes were there), and I was correct. But at that point, it was too late, and I was hooked. 

This had a lot of foreshadowing. Some of it I liked, some of it felt pointless. And some sideplots that I just guessed. Yeah. 

Anyways. I thought this was going to be dark. Like really dark. But this was more about feelings and smut and fluff. It tries to be dark, it tries to give you this whole "our world is dangerous and mysterious", but mostly it just stays on side comments and doesn't really affect like 90% of the fic. It really tries that, but in the end, everyone is just friends and nice to each other. Okay. Some parts are not good or nice, but the general feeling, you know?

Right now, I am not even sure why I finished this fic. Probably stubbornness and the need to know how it all would end. Also, the curiosity about how everything would connect in the end. 

 

Still. Maybe go and try this. You could actually like this. Yea.  

Scorching Hot Threesomes and Silent Co-existence: Harry Potter’s Guide to Life Post-Voldemort [Harry Potter, Harry/Draco/Hermione, nc-17]

Scorching Hot Threesomes and Silent Co-existence: Harry Potter’s Guide to Life Post-Voldemort by ellebesea 

Honestly, he's not sure how he should feel about the events of last night, but his cock doesn't seem the least bit confused. His first time, beyond a few handies behind a greenhouse or shed, and it was a threesome with his gorgeous best friend and - he might as well admit it - the hottest guy he's ever met. 

Or: the sequel to Hermione Granger and the Day Ron Weasley Called her a Slut. Hermione is still a badass, Ron is slightly less foolish, Draco Malfoy manages to convey a whole lot without saying much, and maybe, just maybe, Harry will get a clue.

There is a oneshot prequel to this: Hermione Granger and the Day Ron Weasley Called her a Slut. Its basically pure porn and probably not mandotory to understand this, but I do recommend to read it too!

Im not Dramione fan. Far from it. I dont really like the fics because Draco seems this dark, super mysterious character that just doesn't make any sense to me. To be honest, he really doesn't make any sense in here too, but yea. 

I really like how Harry understands Hermione and how they work together. Its not just the porn part but as friends outside of it all. They just makes sense. It also helps with how they make sense as a throuple with Draco. Everyone just strengthens the others. 

I dont know. I could get lost in this throuple. Or not. Time will tell.  

Pull My Hair a Little Harder Please [Harry Potter, Drarry, multichapter]

Pull My Hair a Little Harder Please by batondecannelle

“Potter,” he says. 

Harry’s knees feel weak. He stumbles a few feet closer to the other boy and then stops. His chest feels tight, and his vision is swimming, and he doesn’t know how to ask for what he desperately needs. 

“I’m, I’m—” he stammers, his hands shaking. 

Draco looks around them at the empty library, and then back at Harry. “Come here,” he says. 

-- 

Harry was excited to come back for one more year of Hogwarts. One last year where there’s nothing to worry about, no basilisks or dementors or psychotic murderers. 

So why does he keep having panic attacks, and why is it always Draco Malfoy finding him right in the middle of one? 

It sounds really weird that there is not that many fics about mental health in Potter fandom. Like.  You have a world where has been a war with children being the most importat characters. And people just keep writing like none of that really happened or matters. Don't get me wrong, I love those fics too, but Im kind of just waiting more of these kinds of fics? If that makes any sense.

Okay. This is still not a way to deal with mental health and depression and PTSD. But in fiction, this is okay and fine. All that other stuff on the other hand, how out of it Harry was without even understanding it. How it just got worse and worse. How he didn't have any tools to help himself or understand what was going. Those are the parts I liked about this. This felt real, like he really was lost and everything had just gone to shits. 

Draco was left as a little bit mysterious. I liked that. I liked how it was all about Harry surviving and trying to understand. Everything else was just background, even if it helped. But nothing was really clear or linear in here, it was just how Harry felt everything. Mushy, dark, hopeless, sad, lost.  

A Lick and a Promise [Harry Potter, Drarry, nc-17]

 A Lick and a Promise by tackytiger

Something sinister stirs in Hogwarts! 

When magical creatures and students at the school are hit with a debilitating blood curse, Minerva McGonagall approaches the Ministry for help. 

Star Auror Harry Potter seems to be the obvious choice to go undercover—as DADA Professor, naturally. He’s going to need the help of the Ministry’s foremost expert in blood magic to get to the bottom of the mystery, though, and he’s not entirely convinced that going back to Hogwarts with Draco Malfoy is a good idea. 

Things are complicated between them—what’s new?—but they know they have to learn to work together (and keep their hands off each other in the corridors) in order to solve this case. Luckily for them, Hogwarts itself wants to lend a hand. 

A tale of love, lessons, and learning to really live.

There was two things I was waiting to happen. Which one cracks first about wanting a real relationship. When does Harry crack about loving teaching (or is it Draco who has had enough of watching Harry love it and cracks for him).

And well. I had to wait a really long time. In the end, both crackings were kind of sidenotes and not so magnificent. Or maybe I had just hyped a little too much and waited something a little too much. But they were there! And they were still awesome.

I didn't really think about the actual plot that much for some reason. But in the end, the plot was good and one of the best parts of this. I was just shit at appriciating it along the journey. 

Even the ending was satisfying and everything I wished for. So yea. Just awesome piece of literature this was.

 

Can You Feel my Heart? [Harry Potter, Drarry, Nc-17]

Can You Feel my Heart? by MelCalder 

There are no words in the English language to describe what Draco has been through, nor is there anything worth talking about. Until that changes Draco is going to stay mute.

I almost gave up reading this in the beginning. I dont remember why and I am glad that I didnt. 

This whole thing feels real. Like you really survive a war and this is how you end up. There is nothing to live for, everything is shit, you cant deal with the sadness or anything else and everything has fallen apart. 

My favorite part was how others talked about Harry. How they saw Harry and how he was broken and how Draco in a way helped him. One other good thing was the comments about Harry's childhood and how he doesn't even comprehend how bad it really was. Like to him it was just normal day, but to everyone else it was the worst. Same goes with the line "they tried to beat the wizard out of him". 

Draco being lost was also really well written. Everything moved forward, but he didn't. Things happened, but he didn't notice, care or wasn't even aware of them. Just because he was lost in his own head. The same goes about his recovery and how slow it was, even when it sometimes it felt fast and rushed. But it was slow and you could enjoy every little milestone that he took. 

This whole thing just hit me so deep and got stuck. And I really don't even have to words to express that. 

Never Mind the Bollocks [Harry Potter, Drarry, Nc-17, multichapter]

Never Mind the Bollocks by The_Sinking_Ship 

If someone told Harry six months ago that by autumn he would be single, living on whisky and toast, and dancing the night away with Draco Malfoy, he would have told them to get their head checked. 

 And yet, here he was.

For some reason this is excatly what I would love to read more right now. Two people who are just lost in the big, scary world. They find each other, they get even more lost and then they figure some shit out. 

There are drugs, sex, alcohol, partying, violence and everything else. And this just checked every single box for me. 

So please. Do recommend other fics like this one. Thanks.  

Yvain [Merlin, Merthur, Nc-17]

Yvain by Lady Angel (dameange) 

During the celebrations for his grandson’s sixth birthday, Uther Pendragon was stabbed by his grandson for murdering his papa. 

This is going to sound so bad, but at some point of the fic I really wanted to Merlin to stay dead. I really did. I wanted to read how Arthur slowly started to get over Merlin's death and how Yvain would become the best version of Arthur because  his father is dead. To be honest, if there is a fic out there where Merlin dies and it's literally all about Arthur trying to survie, please comment the url and I will read it.

Anyways. I liked to read the story in Uther's point of view. Nt often anything is written in Uther in mind. Mostly he is just this big villain in the background and somehow he just exist and thats it. So. All those Uther parts were pretty refreshing (even when I don't really like Uther that much, but who cares).

I just didn't understand how Uther could be so blind to things happening around him. He didn't know that Yvain called Merlin dad or what Merlin really was to Arthur. I can kind of understand how he has blind spots for things that he does not want to know but it still sounds/feels weird that Yvain wouldn't call Merlin papa at any point when Uther could hear him. Like Yvain is Uther's grandchild and the story makes it sound like they do spent some time together and hang out. But maybe it has to do something with Uther being distant father and so he is also a distant grandfather. Maybe. Or something like that. 

And okay. The story would not work if Uther actually was aware of everything and especially awere of how much Merlin means to everyone. This whole thing just couldn't work.

The other thing was how Merlin didn't just magically survive. His resurection was this whole bigger picture and him being part of something bigger. It made sense for the whole cosmic plan for Arthur to become the greatest king Albion has ever had (or some other bullshit like that).

So basically there wasn't that many things that I didn't like. Which is weird. At least I can't think of anything right now. Weird. Super weird.

Start from Scratch [Marvel, Frostiron, Nc-17]

Start from Scratch by Rabentochter 

The last thing Tony remembers is dying atop the Stark Industry’s building after Pepper blew up the arc reactor. The next thing he knows is, that he’s back with the Ten Rings in the cave. And – it all is suspiciously familiar. 

First of all. This fic is a monster. And when I say monster I mean that this has almost 200k words. Almost. The second important thing is, there is a lot of repetitiveness in there. Like a lot. Tony does things over and over and over and over again. And I am not gonna lie, I skipped a lot when reading this. Still. Doesn't make it bad, it just makes me impatient and lazy.

So basically this fic is about Tony reliving about six months or so of his life over and over and over and over again while trying to figure out what could stop the time loop.

The thing I want to talk about is the ending. I didn't see any of that coming. Okay. The plot was pretty good with the whole not revealing the ending and not really giving anything away with what is actually affecting the time loop. But still, I really liked the whole idea behind the reason and how it actually was logical (most of the time it's just meaningless shit that is tied to someone falling in love with someone else, fuck that shit). That makes the ending just that much better. It also makes the fic seem like there was so much thinking behind everything and a big plan how it all would unfold.

Another important and meaningful thing is how Tony coped with all this. I liked how he was all good and then sometimes he was really depressed and didn't really care about anything anymore. Things lose their meaning when you know that nothing will matter in the end because tomorrow you will have to do it all over again. But some things stuck and how they affected everything else (for example how Tony dealt with showers and water). I liked that, it made the whole thing better and like everything was thought out. I don't think anything in this fic was random or just written because it popped into the author's mind at that moment.

The thing I just don't get. How anyone can have the patience to write this? They basically had to write things over and over and over again, just changing some little details from before but they still had to stay consistent with what they had written before. That is just something I have to give a huge amount of respect.

If you have the time, the energy, the patience to read this. I highly recommend you to do that. Seriously. You won't regret it and you will like the ending. I promise that. If not. Well. Come back and yell at me, if that's the case.

Random Fandom Week 11 [Merlin]

I started this blog post ages ago. I am not even sure when I read the first Merlin fic, but it was somewhere last autumn, I think so at least. The thing just was that I did not have time for fics or my blog or anything at all. So I ignored this and thought I would do it next week. So here we are, literally months later and I have this huge problem with picking six fics.

Anyways. I am not that huge fan of the tv show. It is just something that I use as background noise when doing puzzles. Yea. My attention span is pretty close to zero. But because I was bored and I knew that there are a lot of Merlin fics out there, I just had to try reading them. Boredom is a huge factor in my reasoning to do stuff. And I liked the fics. I really did. So now I just have one more fandom that I can get lost into. Okay. I know. I have to actually watch the show at some point, I can't just stop to the second season. But that is something future I can deal with.

So. About the fics. I wanted something different for this one. Or at least that was the idea with the first ones. But I may have lost the point somewhere because there were just so many fics where to choose from and I may have just randomly picked a couple of them. Maybe. But here we go. 5 + 1 Merlin fics where Merlin and Arthur are idiots together. Have fun!

Dickmagician by  ingberry 

Arthur just needed to know that he could take a good dick pic. He wasn't going to do anything with it, obviously. It was just an experiment, just a test he had to prove to himself that he could pass. Drunk Arthur had other ideas, though. Who knew there were people online willing to review other people's dick pics? And frankly, Arthur was never going to settle for anything less than an A+. 

I am not sure if this is crack or something else. At least I have never read anything like this before. And I loved every single second I was reading this. Like who wouldn't? Also. If there is a blog that actually rates people's dick pics, send me a link. I want to see that shit and maybe laugh myself to death,. Yep. That sounds like a perfect idea for a boring Friday night at home.

THE RULES by Slayer_of_Destiny 

After the events of The Coming of Arthur, the new Knights settle into Camelot. They are introduced by the more experienced Knights to THE RULES of actually being a Knight. To their bemusement, most of it is protecting Merlin. The Knights have spent years trying to protect Merlin, it is their duty. Even when it comes to Arthur and entrusting Merlin's heart to him.

I don't even remember what was the actual plot in there. But that is not so important. More important part is how everyone just loves Merlin. Everyone wants to protect Merlin (Arthur included). And that is just something so precius that it needs to be looked after and have it's own fic. Like this one.

Acts of Man by Wreck 

On the morning of their Annual pre-Christmas Dinner, Merlin is shocked to find out that Gwen thinks his boyfriend, Arthur, isn't good enough. But after a glimpse into Merlin's quirky flat, Gwen realizes that she might not have the whole story. 

In Supernatural fandom there was an episode for the car and in Merlin fandom there is a fic for a apartment. For some reason this really fits Merlin, like there could actually be a house that is just so perfect for him (and Arthur) that the house itself came to life. Sounds magical and perfect for them. Until I find that, I will just promote and love this one. Okay. Even if I find that fic, I would still love and promote this, but point stays!

Morgana opened the door to reveal Leon’s smiling face, Gwen hanging on one of his arms. They noticed the wine with narrowed eyes as Morgana dramatically poured herself a glass three sizes too big without uttering a word to suggest why. “What –?” Leon’s face scrunched up in confusion. “Arthur,” Morgana declared, gulping down too much wine at once in order to prepare herself for the bone-chilling announcement, “is bringing his new boyfriend over tonight.” 

This whole, dating assholes and other awful people, thing fits Arthur for some reason. In the show, all his one episode length interests are with idiots and always magic related. So this whole idea that he can't find a proper partner is kind of perfect for him. And then Merlin saves the day, as usual.

The Conundrum of Arthur's Secret Boyfriend by orphan_account

Arthur has a boyfriend whose identity he will not reveal. Uther has a personal assistant whose job depends on following his every order. Uther demands that his PA find out who Arthur's lover is. Merlin is not particularly happy.

Why I am having so much fun with these fics? Like every single fic just makes me smile and be happy? Why? How? What? I don't understand. Seriously. Even this had it sad moments but I am still smiling. Why. Seriously.

And for the + 1 part we need at least one soulmate fic. Because what fandom would really be a true fandom without soulmate fics?

True Love by platonic_boner 

AU where soulmates can’t lie to each other. (That’s okay, Merlin wasn’t planning to lie to Arthur anyways! Haha.. ha.. ha…)

Soulmates. The one thing I always like to read but I am never going to understand. Like, do serial killers and rapist have their soulmates and what is their destiny? What about paedophiles? Are their soulmates like 30 years younger or another paedophile? Or just what the fuck in general? I do not understand. But I like these fics none the less.

The most interesting case in Liam and Niall's careers falls directly into their laps, courtesy of an epic fuck-up of one Harry Styles, partner to the almost-infamous drug dealer Louis Tomlinson. The investigation yields an unexpected yet satisfactory outcome for Liam and Niall. For Harry and Louis, however, things are far more complicated. 

I have not read anything in a while. Not because I don't want to read or that there is nothing new to read. I just haven't had the inspiration for reading anything.

So a couple of days ago, I was bored and literally, I went through a lot of different tags and parings and fandoms and everything. I wasn't looking for anything special or some specific fic. I was just browsing. But today, I came across this. This masterpiece.

To be honest, I opened the whole fic by thinking about how shitty this is going to be (this one doesn't have that many kudos when comparing to the awesome larry fics) and I was just disappointed at this other mafia fic. So my hopes and expectations were low.

Anyways. I read the first chapter and it didn't inspire anything new in me. I liked the way they worked and how everyone was in the fic. I also liked how Liam was the cop and Niall was pretty much just Niall. Zayn was the wild card that he always is, mysterious and dark. The way everyone wants him to be. And then there are the lovebirds.

So the thing is. I don't wanna spoil this. All I really want to say is that I have not been this excited about a fic in a really, really long time. Like probably years. This was that good. So please, go and read this. Go and enjoy this. Go and make the author feel all the love they should feel after writing this masterpiece. Seriously. You won't regret it.
