Summary
Arthur was tipped back against the wall, his mouth open for breath and staring at the small arrow-slit window over Merlin's head, trying to work out how it could possibly be that good with Merlin, of all people.

Lay Your Head Down on the Shoulder of a Good Friend by Skitz_phenom
Fandoms: Merlin (TV)
31 Oct 2019

Summary
With Camelot readying for the upcoming gathering of rulers of the Southern Kingdoms to discuss peace, Uther has tasked Arthur with an additional duty: befriend the Prince of Essetir and learn anything he can of King Balinor, and of magic, and of dragons, that might be of interest should the treaty not succeed.
That's easier said than done, as he and Prince Merlin don't exactly hit it off immediately. But, befriending Merlin and learning of magic and life in Essetir leads Arthur down the paths of discovering long held secrets surrounding his own birth, and his mother's ill health, and his father's hatred of all things magic.
Adding even more complications to the mix are rowdy knights, frustrating princesses, a possible traitor in their midst, and an overly-verbose dragon; not to mention the burgeoning and peculiar feelings for his fellow prince that Arthur struggles to put a name to.

Summary
In Aciman's book, Oliver visits Elio at Christmas and announces his engagement. He also treats Elio like a stranger, refusing to touch him or even be friendly. Aciman's Elio allegedly forgives Oliver, but what if he hadn't?
Fast forward two years: Elio is in London studying Composition and Oliver is married (no kids) and suddenly appears out of nowhere. Elio is not happy about it, which is the understatement of the century.This is an AU of sorts to my previous series. You don't need to have read it to enjoy this story, but some references will be lost.
The characters I created are present here too (Jack, Pierre, etc).This London will be grittier and less soft-lensed, because Elio is virtually penniless and determined to refuse financial help from his parents.
I promise a happy ending, but the course of true love will not run smooth...

Summary
I adored this book, but the ending was very hard to digest. I have decided to write my own (happy) ending, because a love like Elio’s and Oliver’s deserves a happy ending with a vengeance.
I have added more time-related references, but kept political ones to an absolute minimum. It’s more about music, food and the feel of the era.
You will see that at some point the characters go to San Francisco. That part is only referred to, because I have never been there so I didn’t want to write rubbish. I also decided that Vimini should live, because I love her :)
The story is narrated, like the novel, from Elio’s POV.
There is quite a lot of explicit sex, but it’s loving and always consensual. If you do not enjoy M/M sex, please do not read the story (or the original book).Aciman is a genius and I am not, so please forgive my inadequacy. It is all intended as homage to a book I loved rather than an attempt to improve on it.
Last but not least: I have mixed the book’s and film’s references, but I have only seen the trailer as the film is not out yet. If you have seen it, please forgive the errors. I wanted to publish my story before I could be influenced by Guadagnino’s masterpiece.
Enjoy!Series

Here we go!
Elio and Oliver go back to Crema in the summer of 1987.
There will be happiness, but as usual with these two, there will be also a bit of angst.We start with a short trip down memory lane, since this is all from Oliver's POV and we need to know what he was thinking/feeling back in 1983.

Merlin (who works under Lance, who works under him) is grinding on the dance floor at the club in a way that is completely obscene. Arthur can't stop watching. It's making his cock and his life equally hard.

Summary
Arthur is a closeted Olympic snowboarder who has only just started to come out to his close friends and family. To the rest of the world, he’s Arthur Pendragon, Team GB’s Golden Boy and best hope of getting a gold medal in the Olympics after coming home with the silver in Sochi (and fuck wasn’t that an experience, worrying about being outed in homophobic-central Russia. To be honest, Arthur feels guilty he even attended those games).
The pressure on Arthur is immense, but as long as he can keep his head down and get on with things, he’ll be fine. Cue Merlin Emrys, a newcomer to Team GB and up-and-coming figure skater who is determined to make his mark on the scene. And he’s fucking hot.

Amnesia is just another case to solve. Piece together unfamiliar faces, reconstruct the old identity, the lost reality. A challenge that Sherlock could even enjoy. He can read people like books. The man with the silver hair is his boss. The tottering old woman, his landlady. The girl with the worried look in her eyes…infatuated. And as for John Watson? His husband. Obviously.

Summary
Named the Last Dragonlord as his birthright, Merlin knows he must be responsible to his fellow druids and honor the tenets of the prophecy. That doesn't mean he's entirely happy about it and of course, trudging through yet another year of ritual with yet another potential consort, Merlin's perhaps grown a bit too blasé about the whole thing. So when Arthur Pendragon shows up in the Valley of the Fallen Kings, and they're both swept up in the auspices of said prophecy, he's not entirely sure how to feel about it all (or about the handsome, arrogant prince).
