Hey, everyone! It's been a while. Life has been quite crazy for me the last few years, even before everything that has happened in recent days.

But, I just had to recommend a wonderful series and author in the Merlin fandom.:)

Maltheniel is writing The Once and Future King series, which is a fabulous series of AUs (some multi-chapters and some one-shots) about a world where Arthur returns to Albion far sooner than implied in the show. The author, Maltheniel, describes it as "a mostly canon-compliant fix-it for the end of Merlin."

The writing is excellent, and the stories pull you right in, as do the OCs. :D It's now totally my mental canon for how the show actually ended, lol.

You can find the full series here on Archive of Our Own.

You can also find the author and her stories here on FanFiction.net.

I highly recommend her work. :)

I hope that everyone has been well and safe!

And I come bearing a rec: Lindelea's The Tenth Walker, which the author started posting nearly ten years ago (!) and is still updating when she's able. Here's her summary:

Probably been done before, and perhaps better, but Bill the Pony gave my elbow a nudge this morning, causing me to spill my tea, and he licked up all the sugar from the bowl, and is likely to make a complete nuisance of himself if I don't write down his story.

It's a long, slow, gentle tale, just now reaching the Fellowship's second night out from Rivendell in Chapter 72! But the chapters are short, befitting a pony's attention span, and it's an interesting character study, not only of life in general from the perspective of the faithful pony whom the hobbits rescue from an abusive owner in Bree, but also of the various characters as plain pony sense--sight, smell, hearing, and insight!--captures them. Lindelea includes some delightful OCs as well, such as Bilbo's pony Merrylegs and the Elves who tend the stables in Rivendell.

I've been meaning to post this for some time, but today I'm going to quit putting it off. :D These are just a handful of the authors here on LJ and at Stories of Arda and Many Paths to Tread whose works are not only wonderful but also "clean reads"--if I tried to rec everyone whose fics I love, I'd be here all night!

First, for sheer silliness, it's hard to beat Grey Wonderer. She's a hobbit specialist and really, really funny. (I think she's on AO3, too, but I don't know my way around there very well.)

Perhaps the queen of gentle hobbity genfic is

shirebound, who also posts on both SoA and MPTT as well as FF.n. She hardly ever posts anything rated higher than G, and never above a PG-13. I've heard her style described as less h/c than h/cccccc, and it really is true. She excels at straight-up fluff, too, and Scamp from her Quarantined AU is a delight.

Another of my hobbit-focused friends is Frodo Baggins of Bag End, who posts at

febobe and

febobefics. She was one of the founders of the FrodoHealers h/c Yahoo!Group, and she's famous for wonderful descriptions of invalid cookery used to get her hurt/sick characters on the mend. (Note: some of her fics may not fit the guidelines here, but everything has clear warnings, especially pieces that are medically graphic and the deathfics.)

And I can't forget

dreamflower02, one of the mods at MPTT (her page is here) as well as a poster at SoA. One of my favorites of hers is Miss Dora Baggins' Book of Manners, which is Full of Very Good Advice as well as Keen Insight into Hobbit Society--and side-splittingly hilarious into the bargain.

Last but far from least, on the Elven side, is Nilmandra, one of the owners of SoA. Among my favorites is the History Lessons trilogy, which not only shows Elrond teaching his children about Arda's history from a first-hand perspective but also traces Elrond's experience as a father and a Ringbearer until his final voyage into the West. (She does have a couple of steamier married-people-enjoying-marriage stories, but they're clearly marked.)

Every once in a while, I like to recommend good fan fiction stories with clean, well-written content. Well, some of you familiar with the Supernatural fandom might recognize the screen name bhoney. :)

She has now written an original novel (not related to the Supernatural fandom) called What Dreams May Come. I had the chance to read a reviewer’s copy, and it’s a fantastic story!

Here’s a summary:

Reality is overrated. Or so Ellie Cross has always believed.

Ellie is an ordinary, nothing-special girl who feels invisible most of the time. She’s the kind of girl who would loan her lunch money to anyone, but she’s definitely not the kind of girl to get noticed. Well, except by her mom, who constantly nags her not to be such a dreamer, and the class bully who makes her life miserable. It’s kinda grim for a girl who’s already painfully shy and all-too-aware that she “takes work.”

But Ellie has a best friend, someone she can turn to whenever she has a problem. Well, some might call him an imaginary friend, since they’ve never actually met outside of dreams.

And, sure, Ellie knows it’s kinda weird to have a friend no one else can see, but since her real-world friends currently number one, she figures an imaginary friend can only improve her social life. Even better, since he isn’t real, she can tell dream-guy-Gabe anything, without ever worrying that he’ll ditch her for someone cooler or embarrass her by blabbing her secrets. And so what if she happens to have an itsy-bitsy crush on her reality-challenged friend? Who’s it hurting, really?

But things are about to get complicated, because there’s a new guy in school—a guy with hauntingly familiar eyes. A guy who knows things about Ellie that he shouldn’t have any way of knowing…

If you’d like to read it, you can purchase it on Amazon, or if you have Amazon Prime, you can borrow the book for free from the Kindle Owners' Loaning Library. And of course, don’t forget to review, or discuss it on Goodreads.

You can also check out her official author's page on Facebook.

I’ve been wanting to post these fic and author recs for a while, and finally have the time. :)

All of these recs are well written, clean stories for fandoms such as The Chronicles of Narnia, Supernatural, Les Misérables, and Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. They are various genres.

( This way to the recs… )
