Summary: Before Rising, the annual Browncoat Ball was held in August.
After the dead rose, there were no more gatherings. There were no more balls.
But fans, they find a way.
Review: Continuing the fandom love-fest. Here is an absolutely hilariously true, ComicCon love-letter from the Newsflesh fandom. And don't worry, you don't have to have read the Comic-con Short story written by Mira Grant to enjoy it.

Summary: Merlin lays his life on the line to save Arthur yet again, only this time there are witnesses, lots of them. Only Arthur prevents him going to the headman's axe straight away, but Arthur alone cannot save him. That is up to both of them.
Review:
This is a excellent take on the classic "Merlin is outed as a warlock" trope. The plot is exciting and well-paced, and I found myself on the edge of my seat as Merlin's trial commenced. As is required in all good Merlin fics, there's some soul-bonding and magical shenanigans and a sinister plot on one of the royals' life. I found Uther's characterization in this fic quite compelling, and the conversations between Merlin and Uther are the best parts of the story for me. Although the writing tends to lean heavily on fandom tropes (see: soul-bonding), don't let that deter you. Even then, I found this to be a well thought out and interesting fic, full of drama and intrigue.

Summary: Merlin and Arthur decide to get married. That was the easy part. Planning their wedding, on the other hand, may prove to be impossible when their "well-meaning" friends and family are involved.
Review:
As a bitterly single 20-something, it's hard for me to not choke up in seething envy when presented with a happily engaged couple. But somehow, I managed to tamp down my gag reflex long enough to read this fic, and I'm really glad I did. Yes, this is yet another modern-day Merlin AU with romantic comedy trappings, and no, there aren't many redeeming features for people who, unlike me, are sick to death of the genre. But, if you are a fan, I think you'll find it's a cute, sweet AU about the trials of planning a wedding. Merlin and Arthur are so put-upon in the story, I just want to smoosh their cheeks and tuck them away under some comfy blankets.

As a bitterly single 20-something, it's hard for me to not choke up in seething envy when presented with a happily engaged couple. But somehow, I managed to tamp down my gag reflex long enough to read this fic, and I'm really glad I did. Yes, this is yet another modern-day Merlin AU with romantic comedy trappings, and no, there aren't many redeeming features for people who, unlike me, are sick to death of the genre. But, if you are a fan, I think you'll find it's a cute, sweet AU about the trials of planning a wedding. Merlin and Arthur are so put-upon in the story, I just want to smoosh their cheeks and tuck them away under some comfy blankets.

Summary: Sherlock knew that he could thoroughly rely upon John Watson's moral sense. And that's why he knew that Lestrade was wrong, wrong, wrong.
Review:
This is a fantastic, dramatic casefile, and a really great story of John and Sherlock's friendship. Sherlock's stubborn refusal to believe the evidence against John is sweet and intense, and he goes to the ends of the earth to prove that his friend is an innocent man. John and Sherlock's epic friendship is why I love this series so well, andlindentreeisle's portrayal truly does it justice.
This is an exciting adventure story, full of intrigue and suspense, and I was on the edge of my seat until the very end. All the characters in this story are nuanced and compelling, and in particular, Sally Donovan and Lestrade are wonderful. Sally Donovan has gotten a bit of a bad rap in the TV series (for which I blame Moffat, who does not have the best track record with female characters), and because of that, it's kind of hard to write her truthfully in fanfic. She ends up either unusually nice or, well... the nice way to put it would be "unsympathetic". While she doesn't play a particularly huge role in this fic, I really liked how she was written. She doesn't like Sherlock, and she's not very nice, but she is so much more human here, and I loved it :)
