Eep! *blushes* (+ fic)

I have fallen, and fallen hard, for this guy *points to icon*. Merlin is probably the most awesome show EVAR. It has twice the amount of 'subtext' (HA) as just about everything except Queer as Folk (maybe), with more swashbuckling than Robin Hood: Men in Tights, and all the gleeful bantering of a really good Supernatural episode but without any filler whatsoever. Okay, so it's not 'deep', really, though it could be if it wanted to. But it doesn't want to! It is well aware that it is a teeny tiny BBC Wales production, about an overdone and really creepy (and weirdly Welsh-French hybridic - new word) legend, and takes great pains to be just about as historically anachronistic as possible. 6th century Severn potatoes, FTW!

Oh man, have I got it bad.

In honour of my new found love, I have ficced! Twice! During NaNo month! I AM FILLED WITH GLEE AND IT IS ALL [livejournal.com profile] shei'S FAULT!

NO WAI! I love this show. It rocks my socks off, for srs. What's your favourite ep so far?

IDK OH GOD. They're all so good for different reasons. So hard to choose! >.> Maybe the one with the wraith knight. But the most recent one with Merlin's village was filled with so much wonderful tension.

I so need to marathon them all to really choose. XD

Yours? XD

Without a doubt, The Poisoned Chalice. THEIR LOVE IS SO FULL OF EPIC UST. Also, "Faster, Arthur, go faster!" *ded*

Though I agree they're all awesome for different reasons.

So: Arthur or Merlin?
