Which is very full of sandwiches and pirates. I don't even. The fuck? And yet this is also kind of lovely, despite the completely cracked out plot twists.

In which they do stuff that should be ~platonic~, and yet totally, totally isn't. Enjoyable fluff.

In which they enter a kissathon charity event thinking they'll only have to kiss for 30 seconds, a minute at the most, but of course Merlin fans are much more dedicated than that. Hahaha, whatever, this was hilarious.

Apparently Colin Morgan actually smiles differently when he's around Bradley. Prooooooof, finally.

In which Colin and Bradley are together and it's sweet and quietly forever. Awww, Colin is head over heels and it's adorable. Also, I really liked that Bradley was totally horrified by the internet and its brokenness. Of course they would break the internet! It is the internet's right to break over news of that magnitude!

In which Bradley struggles to tell Colin platonically that he's amazing, and Colin ruins it by just kissing him already. Woohoo, Lamardeuse is back!

In which Colin goes to see Bradley's United Relief charity football match because it means a lot to Bradley, and also because it means a lot, period. I really, really, really liked this.

In which Bradley is a little bit afflicted by his crush on Colin. This was so adorable it sort of rots you teeth, but it makes you feel like it's worth the cavities. The characterization here struck me as firmly in the right, especially with Bradley, particularly in the dialogue. Hard to explain, but it's slightly crazed and totally endearing, just how Bradley has proved himself to be in countless interviews.

In which Bradley acquires a flat for him and Colin in Wales, and things progress from there. DYING FROM ADORABLE DOMESTICITY FIC. CYRIL OMFG. THE JABS AT J2, HAHAHA, SERIOUSLY, DYING.

In which Bradley notices that on a poster of "78 things to do when you're in a relationship, "he's only ever not done one of those things with Colin Morgan. Adorable!

In which they've been avoiding hashing out the details and that comes to a head. Bradley angry will never not be blindingly hot to me, I don't even know why.

Hahaha, this is the strangest thing ever (like katie, what?), but the eyecandy and the editing were good, so I give it a pass.

Oh, boys.

In which Colin's mom finds out about the misprint in the Gay Times and makes it known that she is sort of disappointed it's a misprint. Hahaha, everything about that phone conversation is pure parents-what-can-you-do comedy gold.

In which Colin and Bradley come to separate conclusions while they spend Christmas apart that they should just get over themselves and have sex already. Katie also says pretty much the same thing. Which contains the lines: "But Colin feels weird about the whole thing, like he's stumbled into some sort of weird marriage with Bradley, only it's a billion years in the future when the sex has dried up. He wants to pipe up and say that he's quite interested in actually having sex, please." Things about this fic that I love: the Love Actually tradition and all the sundry jokes poking fun at it, Katie and her perfectness, Bradley's dad, Colin's mum, and basically everything else. <333

In which Bradley wakes up on a train after a night of heavy drinking and Colin has some interesting things to say about what Bradley was drunk dialing him about all night.

In which Bradley has gotten ridiculous over Colin and Katie has a plan. It is a sexy plan. Actually, it is a HOT LIKE BURNING plan. I just. Um. So, so much with the fangirl wish fulfillment, but still, it's -Katie.- It somehow works because it's her.

In which they finally start asking each other the right sorts of questions during their big road trip. Like many of mrs_leary's fics, I thoroughly enjoyed this despite my issues with her characterization choices. Schmoopy and dear and a little sly--honestly, it's like it was made to make me give up all my principles.

In which Bradley's feet and mouth have minds of their own and they're all allied to making sure he gets to be friends and morethanfriends with Colin Morgan. A Christmas-y sort of school AU that was a lovely, warm piece of fluff perfect for a winter's night.

In which Bradley invades Colin's flat and his life and Colin surprises himself by being very, very fine with that. I loved this. Loved it a lot.

In which they're roommates and Colin has secrets and Bradley kind of doesn't like what they are when he finds them out, but it starts them on something important, something ultimately good. God, this fic was so fun, and then so, so hard and awkward and sad, and then it came to the place it needed to come to, and lo, it was good. So good. I just can't get over this fic. So good. Feel-it-in-your-bones good.

In which Bradley James' google search log is dramatically reinacted for us in GIF format. HAHAHA, DYING.

In which the gift of the magi is delightfully corrupted by crack. Alternatively, Bradley buys Merlin's scarf from a charity thing and then doesn't know quite what to do with it.

In which Colin wants to try some bondage and Bradley is leery, but quickly comes around to the idea.

In which Colin is uncomfortable about all the Merlin/Arthur comments because he secretly writes fanfic, too. Inevitably, Bradley finds out.

In which Bradley is ridiculed for his choice in facial hair, headphones, and music, but he also gets laid so it's all good. Hahaha, for how ridiculous the premise is, this fic is actually very pretty.

In which Bradley is feeling sort of insecure that he's only on Merlin to be the eyecandy. Cuteness and banter abound.

In which being with Colin is scary. Realism, wow.

In which Bradley is sort of an idiot and sort of a prude, but he's totally adorable nonetheless. So much talk of rimming in this fic, maybe too much, but it illustrates their relationship so well--all teasing, hesitant talk before either of them can work up the nerve to actually do anything. And Bradley's voice here is so clear and lovely, it's almost stupefying. I feel warm all over and only a third of that is residual embarrassment from all the sex talk.

In which Colin is a little bit indie, and Bradley loves him anyway. Multimedia ftw!

In which Colin gets him and Bradley involved in the French Kiss-In.

In which they are adorable together. Seriously. Adoooooorable.

In which Colin is a bit reluctant and reserved, but this thing with Bradley might just have been inevitable. Lovely, lovely, lovely.

In which Colin thinks it will be laughs and wank material to watch Bradley and Angel film their big kissing scene, but then it turns out to look a bit too convincing. Awww, Colin in this is so unsure and dear. Also, any fic that calls an attempted first kiss "an inglorious collision" gets major points in my book.

In which Bradley finds he's okay with "keeping the magic secret," if you catch my meaning.

In which they're in love, but Bradley's asexual. So this is basically one of those prompts you don't realize you want to read, but when it's in front of your face you suddenly realize it has a lot of potential. This fic delivers on that potential a thousand fold. The whole thing resonates in a strange and lovely way.

In which they are angsty about their budding relationship. This was really pretty. However, seriously, unrepentant with the angst here, and, not gonna lie, some of it I laughed at. But overall, I really liked this, maybe despite itself.

In which the power goes out, they get bored, and hijinx, drunkenness, and incoherent groping ensue. Very them. Very, very them. *grins*

In which Colin fails to separate his personal feelings from his character. Awesome description of Bradley here.

In which Bradley is a bit confused about who he is at any given moment with Colin.

In which the gang goes to a gay bar, and things go from there.

In which Bradley is not quite content with the Arthur he's given in the script, so he takes the matter into his own hands--except his own hands make Arthur out to be kind of a dick, and kind of really gay. Thank God Colin is there to keep him straight (metaphorically so; literally, not so much).

In which Colin sneaks out to watch Soccer Six, and then feels guilty about it, and then it doesn't matter. *eyebrow waggle*

In which And Nobody Wears A Crown is continued through a relationship crisis.

In which there is a coda to The Questionable Quest set after Soccer Six, and I mean, can this get any schmoopier? Because I will keep lapping it up, gladly. I am practically glowing with the cuteness of this fic.

In which Bradley and Colin enjoy the Louvre like the insanely irreverent and adorable boys they are. Fuck, this fic, I am smiling like a loon.

In which there is a typically hair-brained quest for chips, and crazy, rampant UST (which eventually becomes HOT LIKE BURNING RST).

In which Bradley is Merlin and Colin is Arthur. Okay so this fic, what the fuck. It's actually pretty serious, and pretty seriously good, but I mean, investing Bradley James with phenomenal magical power is both terrifying and hysterical, which dampens the seriousness of the tone. And yet something about this fic is really decent, honestly good. I'm bewildered and delighted.

In which Colin is secretly afraid of heights. (Agh, ooc, but so dam cute.)

In which Colin put a stop to it, and Bradley is pathetic, but then they fix it. GOD THIS SERIES, SO LOVELY.

In which Bradley worries overmuch about how things might get weird between them.

In which Bradley finds out that Colin has been following the fans on LJ.

In which they start by messing around, and then they are kind of suddenly in a relationship, and along the way the sex just keeps getting hotter and better. This fic is super hot and super cute. Oh man.

In which Colin's distanced himself, and Bradley can't seem to find a way to bridge the gap. AHHH, lovely and so sad and soooo lovely. More more more.

In which Bradley wants, and Colin has to be the voice of reason. Lovely, lovely, lovely.

In which getting to their second kiss is quite a bit harder than getting to their first.

In which all the best pranks gone awry involve bananas. Hotness!

In which Colin steals Bradley's thumb ring by accident. I find this entire mishap unlikely, just due to regular finger sizes (I assume a thumb ring is going to be a number of sizes larger than a ring for the ring finger, especially for guys), but I enjoyed this story when I ignored that issue. Any excuse to obsess over Bradley's thumb ring, really.

In which Bradley notices things about Colin on their way to happy-couple-dom

In which Bradley is pretty much addicted to making Colin smile. About as sappy as that sounds, but really very cute.

In which the pranksters extraordinaire celebrate their patron holiday. (These pranks are actually kind of funny.)

In which Colin is a lot like a cat Bradley used to have. This fic is really, honestly, in-no-way-sickeningly sweet.

In which Colin absconds to Spain, and Bradley follows him.

HAHAHAHAAAA. "He's the only meat I eat."

Man, this vid didn't do much for me the first time around, but its been growing on me.

In which there are snapshots of their life on the set of Merlin, and everything is just interesting and well-written and so very lovely.

In which Colin is the insecure one, and Bradley is ready and willing to reassure him, forever.

Which is entirely too full of spiders.

In which Bradley is kind of an idiot, and kind of really not. So many things are wrong with this fic, but I really liked the ending resolution, so here it is on my delicious.

In which Colin is a surprisingly good dancer and, privately, so is Bradley.

In which the facts that Colin is Irish and cannot hold his alcohol are ironized by the fact that it is St. Patrick's Day!

In which Bradley jokes about phallic symbols and Colin falls for him and things aren't all great, but they have their moments.

In which Bradley reacting to Colin being pregnant is truly, heinously funny.

Hahaha, I like the gratuitous use of Katie quotes.

In which Katie is a big bullier who bullies, according to Bradley at least.

In which many notes are passed and Colin and Bradley are not very subtle.

In which they laugh their arses off after the Je Suis Loser prank.

Which contains the line: "He bought some carrots and some grapes, and made sure to give the pyramid of lettuce a quelling look just on principle." and also a lot of denial and a lot of Twiddle, Colin's horse. (THIS FIC. THIS FIC IS SO GOOD.)

HAHAHAHA, IN WHICH ANGEL WINS THE PRANKING GAME FOREVER AND I HAVE PERSONAL RPS CANON OR SOMETHING, WHAT (THAT LAST PART, OMG).

In which Colin has a thing for Bradley's arse (just like the rest of us), but Bradley makes it freely available to him (sadly, unlike the rest of us).
