just yesterday I started to re-read
Accidental Memory in the Case of Death by [livejournal.com profile] derryere because reading it just once wasn't enough. (yes i blame you [livejournal.com profile] bjl_charlie)
I just got home and seen this posted on my tumblr dash. and thought I AM SO MEANT TO BE READING THIS AGAIN lol




Always - by:pakost.deviantart.com


[livejournal.com profile] bjl_charlie emailed me this fabulous art sometime ago, and I still can't get over just how amazingly detailed and beautiful this is ♥__♥



for those of you in Merlin fandom who haven't read this story yet... READ IT! READ IT NOW!


Title: Accidental Memory in the Case of Death NC17 - 75,000 words
Pairing: Arthur/Merlin
Summary: Tony O does not befriend losers. Tony O is not gay, not crazy, he is not particularly nice and he is most definitely not royalty. Destiny disagrees.


when I finally did get around to finishing this for the first time...[I tried reading it twice before I actually got into it...I kept being all "no this isn't my thing.. but [livejournal.com profile] bjl_charlie could not stop talking about it... how its her favorite fic of all time.. how shes' read it like 8 million times...(no lie) and how I MUST read it NOW....]
I just couldn't put it down. Absolutely fabulous, and oh so very hot and angsty reincarnation!fic. I'm so happy I gave it yet another go. and here I am re-reading it :D

___________

ok.. . so the whole point of this post originally was just to post the art. lol. I kinda got carried away squeeing about this fic. *ahem*


oh... and there is amazing video trailer too by [livejournal.com profile] nerjav... might as well post that while I'm on my squee binge...




time for bed now *yawns*

LOL, babe, reading my toughts again, but I'm not surprised :)))
I've been dying to re-read AM, but since the reader died... *sigh*
Yeah, I definitely need a new one.
And I'm so happy you love this fic so much too :)))
It is perfect, the best Arthur/Merlin => modern times fic ever.
Tony/Emory - LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE!!!!

it really is. and I have you to thank for making me read it :P

Im not sure if its "the best" A/M modern long fic for me... cause well.. DRP i've read/listened to like 10x and never ever get sick of it LOL. but this one is definitely up there in top 10

That art is awesome! *savestocomputer*

Thanks for the fic rec! I haven't read any Merlin fic, so I'll read it as soon as I finished Season 3. I already bookmarked this.

just a fair warning this fic IS hard to get into, and that turns alot of people off.
I don't think i'd rec this as your first Merlin fic..

however I WOULD rec Drastically Redefining Protocol by [livejournal.com profile] rageprufrock as your first. Arthur/Merlin fic. In which Prince Arthur meets Merlin and all hell breaks lose. Modern AU

THIS FIC!!!! *flails* is like a right of passage into Merlin fandom. No lie. i've read it/listened to the podfic like 123456 million times. so book mark this bb

Yay! Thanks bb!

Are there any non-AU Arthur/Merlin fics you can recommend?

Oh man, isn't that artwork FUCKING GORGEOUS?? I can't remember where I first saw it but I was like, okay, this is the best thing I've ever seen in my entire life.

SO FUCKING PERFECT.

I have to admit though, I haven't read 'Accidental...' yet. I just keep hearing that it's so hard to get into but worth it in the end BUUUUT if something doesn't grab me pretty much from the get go I usually back button out of it. I've got such ADD when it comes to fics. So yeah, while I know it's good I just can't make myself start reading it, it's almost like a chore to me (plus whenever Merlin and Arthur have different names in fics that's an automatic no go for me, dunno why but I just can't read them).

the first time I seen this it was from my phone email. .. and i was like "OMFG SEND IT TO MY WORK EMAIL NOW!" lol. So gorgeous!

I can completely see how this story turns people off, trust me, i tried to read it so many times, and i just could not understand where it was going, no idea. just a random bloke living him random mundane life, it had no appeal.
Its not very Arthur/Merlin, in terms of being in character. not in the slightest (other then flash backs to them) but once i got the feel of the fic, and it took me pushing through at last 1/4 of the story before i really grasped what was going on, then i was completely wrapped up in it.

Now re-reading it, I'm picking out all sorts of things at the beginning i hadn't noticed before because of the lack of interest. Im interested to see if i'm going to like it more the second time around.

I know I'll get to it eventually (and I LOVE fics/books/movies like that where you need to read/watch it a few more times to pick up all the little things you missed along the way). I just need to be in the right frame of mind, I guess ;)
