Author's Summary: Stiles discovers the hazards of growing up a real boy when, at heart, he's not a real boy at all.

Review:
As Derek points out here, Stiles knows more about werewolves than anyone could learn from Google and the local library. That's because he's actually a demon. When the Stilinski's baby is stillborn, Stiles possesses the vacant body and finds himself changed in ways he never expected.

I love that his mother affects him so deeply, and that he starts having human reactions despite a millennia's worth of memories. Tsukinofaerii makes Stiles' more selfless side believable, so that he's the loyal Stiles we know and love, even as we never forget he's a demon. His friendship with Scott and his relationship with Derek are a joy. The AU take on the show makes for a new perspective, and the cameo crossover with Supernatural is a stroke of brilliance.

Title: For Your Information
Fandom: Merlin
Pairing: Merlin & Uther friendship, Arthur/Merlin
Categories: Modern AU (without magic), humor, friendship, family, romance
Length: medium (9,887)
Warnings: implied bigotry and homophobia

Author on LJ: n/a
Author Website: kinkme_merlin

Summary: "Merlin sighs... 'I'm sort of like his gay tutor, it's hard to explain.' "

Review:
This fabulous author had me laughing out loud, but the story's not ridiculous; told from Merlin's point of view, it focuses on Uther's stubborn quest to understand what it means to be gay so he can support Arthur. Several "Odd Couple" moments ensue as Uther and Merlin start to become something like friends. So much so, that Uther's convinced Merlin should date his son.

Uther's backward thinking, his attempts to learn and change, his bossiness, and his inability to cope with street vendor food, all combine to make him both hilariously out of his element and oddly sweet.

Merlin is terrific, offering sound advice, while never being afraid to confront Uther about his assumptions or his steam-rolling behavior. Since Uther is often Merlin's employer or other authority figure, it's refreshing to have Uther hold no power over him here, and to see how that dynamic benefits both of them.

Arthur is nicely flustered when he finds out about their meetings, and his interest in Merlin rounds out the story.
