I've been playing over at Full Moon Ficlet, and there's been some great stuff posted for the challenges so far. tryslora in particular did a five parter for the 'photographs' prompt that is now posted in full on AO3. It's Lydia POV, with canon pairings mentioned as well as a couple of others. It includes some sad stuff, so check the tags/warnings, but it's well worth a read if you can cope with that. It's just gorgeous.

Our Days Are Yours


I woke up to see I'd been tagged on stop_drop_howl, and more Peter/Stiles seems to be happening, though with added smut this time, yay.


For the last few days I've been editing my podbang recording, and during the whole process I've sorted out some of the issues I had last time I started making podfics. Even my voice holds out longer now, I don't sound hoarse after two minutes. That was so annoying. So yes, this means the other ones I made a start on AGES ago will be finished soon! First of all though, I have to submit this file as it stands tomorrow, which is fully recorded with a main edit done. Then I'll be checking through for mistakes etc. -- I've already found one part where I mixed up names, and there are a couple of bits where I'd like to replace a small section to improve it.

I've asked the mods whether we can name the fic we've recorded as I'm not clear whether I can or not before they're posted, but it's a modern AU Merlin/Arthur (after Merlin/Gwaine) and includes some infidelity. I don't think there are any other likely squicks in there, but if you're up to a beta-type listen, even if it's just for part of it (it's a 42k word fic, I don't expect anyone to beta listen to the whole thing), let me know! At this point I'm so tired of the sound of my own voice it's untrue *g* The posting date is Feb 14th, so all editing needs to be finished in time for then, obviously.


ETA: Oh, and twrarepairs! YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO.

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!
