just yesterday I started to re-read
Accidental Memory in the Case of Death by derryere because reading it just once wasn't enough. (yes i blame you 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


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 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 nerjav... might as well post that while I'm on my squee binge...

time for bed now *yawns*

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 ;)
