( The Ones Where Uther Scares Merlin (and dub-con may or may not be involved) )

This is usually where I ask for your recs, but I'm kinda scared what I'd get. For a change, why don't you rec me The Ones Where Merlin Scares Uther? (Or Arthur.)

Next Installment:
- The Ones Where Arthur Is a Spy
- The Ones Where Merlin and/or Arthur Is Dark/Evil

1. This week's words that do not exist are brought to you by:
erastes - incalcitant
sams_cafe - substantialiscious

2. I was sketching an HP character yesterday and thought to myself, "You know who's skinny? Merlin!"
I bravely refrained from transforming the sketch into a Merlin drawing. Aren't you proud of me?

3. We have Rentboy!Merlin, Merlin-in-a-dress, Waiter!Merlin, Bartender!Merlin and Barista!Merlin, but where's PoleDancer!Merlin, I ask you?
Or, you know, a fic where Merlin does a striptease/karaoke performance to "I don't want/ anybody else..."
Every fandom needs a striptease/karaoke fic. *nods sagely*

1. Miss The Train Before by fahye (1/? WIP, modern-day AU, currently PG)

"I'd like to see you lift a wallet."

"What?" Merlin's throat seized up.

Gaius gave him the look from the previous night, the one which questioned Merlin's intelligence. "We're in a crowd. The conditions are ideal. Surely Hunith taught you…" He trailed off at the look on Merlin's face. "Or not. I revise my earlier opinion; your mother is either very stupid, or even smarter than I thought."

"Hey!" said Merlin, and then, "What?" again.

"Very sneaky of her, to stick you under my nose and flaunt your lack of basic education." Gaius waggled a plastic cup at him sternly. "I most certainly did not intend to spend my retirement running a school for amateurs, but I suppose I have no choice now. Very well. Watch closely."

It started in SINGAPORE guys. And Gaius runs a Chinese herbal remedies shop X-D
And it's all Mission Impossible-like, except hacker!Merlin is hired for a job to steal EXCALIBUR =DDD
There's Gwen and Lancelot (to come) and what more do you want?

2. Merlin Superhero (Lupin III) by solanyxe
Or, the fanvid that made me start this category.

Lupin III is a classic 1970s anime and that's all you need to know, really.

The fanvid has plot! (Summarized from vidder's description)
Merlin, Gwen, and Morgana are making plans to steal Arthur's sword. As Merlin ends in the jail, Gwen and Morgana steal around. Arthur tries to get his sword back, but he accidentally becomes Merlin's fangirl. Merlin returns the sword in the end, and Arthur joins the thieving group.

morrighan_sai, I totally spied the link from your comments section.

Just added #4 and #5 to The Ones Where Arthur is Vicious (But It's All for Merlin)

Next Installment:
- The Ones Where Uther Scares Merlin Like a Very Scary Thing

And here's where I ask you for your Thief!Merlin recs =) (Or, you know, Thief!Arthur if such fics exist. *makes grabby hands*)

Happy Hina Matsuri, F-list \o/
Yesterday, I made uni sushi and it was good NOM NOM NOM. I would've bought sakura mochi but I don't like it enough to justify the price. Also, not my cultural tradition, haha.

This is in the spirit of my Itty Bitty Recs with HP. (Read: There are a ginormous amounts of fic in this fandom, and I'm only going to rec 3-5 in each arbitrary category.)
Tentatively called "The Ones Where... Recs."
