Merlin Holidays recs (part 1) (and a half)

[fluffyllama]

I want to get all these posted before the reveal, so I'm not going to give much description for these, but read! (As well as checking out the collection, because I haven't had chance to read them all yet either.) ETA: I've added another couple since posting as AO3 seems to be down at the moment so I can't finish part 2. ETA 2: Now with reveals!

Rough Skies (Merlin/Arthur, NC-17, 40k words) by rotrude
Pilots!

Every Cloud (Merlin/Arthur, R, 13k words) by cassie_black12
Arthur the arsey chef! And Morgana is there being awesome, which pretty much guarantees love from me.

This Dance of Days (Merlin/Arthur, rated 'mature' by author, 8k words) by kianspo
I'm really not a great fan of weddings or fluffiness, but this has plenty of other stuff going on. It also has my other favourite thing ever (after an awesome Morgana), which is one of the (modern versions of, obviously) knights calling Arthur 'Princess'. I don't even know why, but I feel like I need a whole recs list just for that.

The Letter Q (Merlin/Arthur, NC-17, 12k words) by herbeautifullie
One of my unexpected favourites of the fest, as the summary didn't really draw me in to start with.

As Long As We Are (Merlin/Arthur, PG-13 or so) by lady_ragnell.
Because I maybe have a thing about people collecting strays.

Lying in Wait (Merlin/Arthur, NC-17, 3k words) by sorrylatenew
Canon era, pretend-somnophilia that turns into more... yeah, lots of marvellous things in one place here. Phew.

More coming up before the reveal if I can!
