Summary
Well before the Meta Manifesto fest got started, I wanted to review Merlin fic trends with an (inevitable) focus on Merlin/Arthur stories. One caveat to all that follows is that it describes fanworks available through AO3. There are likely to be significant differences, particularly in terms of the het to gen to slash ratio, in other online locations.

Meta Manifesto: Enemies to Lovers Stories by yourlibrarian

Summary
Spoilers for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Merlin, Killing Eve and Avengers.
Although the EtL story type is highly popular, I think there are ways in which it works more deeply or successfully. What counts as "success" though is the crux of the story, as well as whether the characters are truly enemies.

I also like her phrase "The rise of this sort of critic, who simply writes about art because he or she wants to, has, with an astonishing swiftness, broken the monopoly of the mass media, and I think that is only good: now a diversity of response is beginning to match the diversity of the work that is made."

Summary
As Merlin comes to a close, one can look back at the series and see how it did and didn't fulfill its promise. It also makes for an interesting comparison with the first 5 seasons of Supernatural, which also set up a story about destiny.

Summary
So the finale came to its inevitable conclusion in much the way the series made its way throughout all its seasons. Some stuff was really enjoyable, a lot was inexplicable, and it was largely underdeveloped.

I had two major issues with it. And both these issues tied into a complete tone-deafness to character development.

Summary
All in all, I liked the two-parter finale. It seems there's always some dramatic battle for those. And it was an important season in many ways with Arthur actually becoming king, Guenevere's crowning, Lancelot's death (and return), and the reveal of Excalibur.

I found this to be one of the more enjoyable episodes of the season. Although there are some inexplicable things in it, for the most part it seems well thought through in terms of themes and conflicts.

Summary
I was pleasantly surprised by Merlin 4.3. To start with, it would have been easy to make such an anticipated episode underwhelming. But I also have thoughts about how well Merlin and Arthur will ever be able to work together.

Summary
While the Merlin series focuses primarily on the relationship between Merlin and Arthur, there is a larger arc about not just Arthur's destiny but those who guide him towards that. Before he was the Once and Future King, he was a prince being trained to succeed his father.
Also, part 1 of a discussion which involves the fan vid "Red Rain."
Inspired by Red Rain by SecretlyToDream.

De-anon'd repost of this kinkme prompt: Arthur/Merlin, AU. Arthur is a young, promising lawyer. He needs to win his next case to get a job at the best law office in town. Of course, being Arthur, he thinks he's the best man out there :P Merlin is waiting in prison for his trial (arrested for don't-know-what-but-something-not-too-serious). Arthur is assigned to Merlin's case as a public defender.
