in lieu of creating indicator variables and interpreting log regressions

[whynot]

Homework sucks. Time for meme.


1. Angst:
In her dreams, Morgana sees them all unravel.

2. AU:
Being the cameraman for Arthur Pendragon, investigative journalist, is harrowing.

3. Crack!Fic:
Surprisingly, Gaius kills the most zombies.

4. Crossover:
Jadis smiles knowingly; she has met men like Uther before.

5. First Time:
The magic flares from Merlin's fingertips and ignites her own.

6. Fluff:
She likes the feel of Gwen's fingers in her hair.

7. Humor:
"Very funny, Merlin. Now change me back. ...Merlin? Hello?"

8. Hurt/Comfort:
"I'm fine," Arthur insists.
Merlin continues bandaging and says, "Sure."

9. Smut:
Morgana gasps raggedly and digs her nails into Merlin's back.

10. UST
"Gwen," Morgana begins, but doesn't know what else to say.

That said, I would give up my firstborn to read an investigative journalist AU and some Uther/Jadis.


In other news, AAAAAAAAAAAHHH I HAVE TRAIL OF DEAD TICKETS AAAAAAAAAAAHHH I HAVE TRAIL OF DEAD TICKETS AAAAAAAAAAAHHH I HAVE TRAIL OF DEAD TICKETS hfksahfkdshfd ZOMG. I've never seen them live before! It's gonna be awesome, and possibly harmful to my health considering how the Manu Chao 'mosh pit' nearly did me in. Maybe I will upload their music for you later.

I was slightly disappointed to find that Dining With Terrorists does not actually have Phil Rees going, "It is the peppers and coca leaves that give the FARC's gruel that special kick." It did make me think of all you guys on my flist writing fics about LA REVOLUCION. So basically zempasuchil ("THE JUNGLE IS THE IDEAL SETTING FOR REBELLION.") and bedlamsbard.

Also, WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME THE GUY FROM ASIAN DUB FOUNDATION IS HOSTING THE MUSIC OF RESISTANCE PROGRAM ON AL-JAZEERA. OMG. Possibly to stop my head exploding from awesome?? OMG THE FIRST EPISODE IS ACTUALLY ABOUT THEM (and the BNP and racism in London). omg. you guuuuuuuuyyyyysssss, i almost can't handle it. KEEP BANGING ON THE WALLS OF FORTRESS EUROPE.

I haven't done recs since I got a delicious, but I want to bring attention to

Not listing all my favorites, just the ones I think could use more loving.

When Daylight Fades, We'll Still Be Us - Merlin/Arthur. G. This was written quite early on, before the fandom got really massive, so I think this might have passed below most people's radars. But it's lovely, check it out.

Sentry - PG. As gen as the show. The fic does a great Uther and a great dragon. And that's cool, 'cos most fics seem to dismiss the dragon as silly or annoying. I might have to write some dragon gen in the future in protest or something.

A Life Worth Less. PG13. As gen as the show. Her characterization of Merlin and Arthur are ace, especially of Arthur, capturing the balance between his douchebaggery and his honor.

Crooked Heart. Morgana/Merlin, R. Dude, all the good Morgana/Merlin, let you show me it?

With Your Eyes Half-Open. PG. As gen as the show. (THE FRAUGHT GEN, I love iiiiit.) The push&pull of OT4, POV of awesome Gwen.

Innocent - G. Merlin and Will! I gave her the prompt "five times Merlin and Will almost got in trouble but didn't", and was so thrilled when she wrote it 'cos seriously: there is not enough Merlin&Will (or Merlin/Will) out there. This is their pastoral adventures and being mischievous and looking out for each other and I am just like <33333333 <3333333.

Give Me Love, Give Me Peace On Earth. Hippie!AU. Jesus/Mary M/John. PG13. AWESOME.

I will leave you with this.

Hahaha no! I was just thinking that I have too many Arthur icons and need more Morgana icons, so I thought this a fair compromise. I like how they're all, "That's right, we're the Pendragon scions and we're gonna fuck your shit up." So, it's also my second 'motherfucking pendragons' icon.

Pendgragons ftw! (Weirdly coincidentally, I think I put something like "those beautiful, fucked up Pendragons" in the comment on this icon, along with the credit.) There should be Diplomatic Visit fic where they visit other kingdoms and fuck people's shit up. Or futurefic where he's king and she's still at least sort-of on his side, and they fuck people's shit up! Or AU fic where they're politicians or something and they fuck people's shit up! Yeah!

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

I WOULD READ THE SHIT OUT OF POLITICALPOWERHOUSE!PENDRAGONS. Where after the negotiations are done (and won), they convene in their chambers over goblets of mulled wine and go 'mwahahahaha' at their political genius!

And then Arthur gets a little srs bsns about his burgeoning kingdom, and Morgana sits on the arm of his chair and strokes his hair and says, "You worry too much. I've told you it's in the stars."

"It's a king's duty to worry," he says, "as it is yours to trust the stars."

And he angsts about whether or not he's just Morgana's creation! And she angsts about the fact that he won't always need her! Because clearly interpersonal relationships are built upon the use to which you can put a person, and not on things like mutual affection and stuff.

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

CLEARLY. And Arthur knows Morgana isn't telling him everything, but what he doesn't get is that it's not to shut him out, it's to keep him closer?! And she's too proud to show real attachment! It's not like when they were young when they thought the future so malleable, but she knows now how they are being pulled towards their respective destinies: Arthur to Camelot, Merlin to Arthur, and Morgana to... the future?

AAAAAAAHHHHHH I'M RUNNING AWAY BEFORE I GET SUCKED IN. okay for real i have to go and eat lunch and do homework. LET GO OF ME, MERLIN.
