Deluge by suaine
In the aftermath of Merlin's battle against Nimueh, the rain seems a minor complication, perhaps even a cleansing influence. When the rain doesn't stop, Camelot is pushed to the brink once more. This time, Arthur may be in over his head.

Flesh and Blood Dance by lilithilien
The 21st century is still a land of myth and a time of magic. The spells and enchantments that Uther banished are gone, but myths and magic live on, conjured on screens large and small with scripts and CGI. But one day, inspired by boredom and not a little mischief, an entertainment mogul (who might just happen to be an ex-evil sorceress) decides it might be a lark to tell the Arthurian legend—as it really happened. It's just a little BBC series, just something to amuse herself (and to annoy Merlin, of course). But when they awaken the Old Ways, not even the greatest Seer of all can foretell what awaits them.
This is a story of destiny and choices, about what happens when sorcerers and kings collide with actors and beasts, and just how bad morning breath would be after a 1500-year sleep.

Mægencræft by miranda_skye
(Merlin/Will, Merlin/Arthur pre-slash) The life of William of Ealdor, and how he met a sorcerer called Merlin along the way and learned to hate arrogant princes.

The Mirror, The Sword and The Shield by aelora
Fate is a fickle mistress – or rather, the Fates are. When the Wyrd Sisters offer Nimueh a second chance to fulfill her destiny, she takes the opportunity to seek revenge on Merlin. When Uther enters the equation, Nimueh's victory seems certain. Loyalties and allegiances are tested, making Merlin question the lengths that Arthur will go to in order to protect him. Through daring escapes, attempted coups, and fierce battles, Merlin and Arthur discover that the twisting threads of fate are not easily understood, and that the webs they spin cannot be readily escaped.

Oh, boys!

So, I spent a chunk of yesterday spamming Twitter with Misha stuff and then I had a dream that I won a contest to spend a couple of hours with Jared and Jensen by myself. I think they were giving me a tour of the set or something. Evidently my brain did not like me devoting my attention to just one of the SPN boys

Speaking of: Aren't they the cutest

Was going to complain about the lack of Misha but it's probably because he's too awesome to flub lines ;) Or something.

I need a J2M icon

The SPN marathon continues

Quiet weekend

Was supposed to be going to Newcastle to visit Dave this weekend but I called off yesterday when I was ill. I'm feeling mostly better today actually after masses of sleep, just quite run down and tired so I don't think I'd have had the energy for travelling and doing social things

Going to spend the weekend working on my rpf_big_bang. I'm hoping to have the first draft finished by Sunday but we'll have to see how it goes. I will also be watching more SPN S4 as I've realised it's less than three weeks until S5 starts

I'm also thinking of changing my header. Probably to another picture of Misha, maybe one of Misha with Jared and Jensen. I don't know. Really, there's no need for me to change it. I just start thinking about these things when I get bored

Two things

1. Need to rant away from Twitter. Really, you do not need to keep tweeting Misha the url of your minion website. Tweeting him with the link every day and sometimes more than once a day is not going to make him more inclined to reply to you and will in fact probably have the opposite effect

2. My deancastiel Renegade Angels fic is finally done! Beta did a wonderful job and after all the tweaking I've done under her guidance I'm very pleased with it. Will post it on here once the author reveal has been done

OMG!

I was just yesterday lamenting with sinnerforhire about the lack of Misha birthday fic and then eliza_jane made it all better

Fic wherein Misha turns into a unicorn on his birthday
