Merlin: two reincarnation fanfic/podfic recs

I know I haven't posted anything here in ages (oops) but I don't really think I have a choice when it comes to reccing these--they're both so good, ah man :')

Title: The Reincarnation Situation
Author: cait_roswen
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Merlin/Arthur
Summary: Merlin still thinks that perhaps the dragon was right and one day Arthur will return as a king destined to save the people of Albion, but that day has not yet come. Arthur has not missed a single moment of life since Merlin laid him to rest in the waters of Avalon but the lives he has lived have not been for his people or for the greater good, they have been just for Merlin.

Podfic read by cait_roswen

Thoughts: I was around for the birth of this fantastic fic, and it's one of my favourites. I know for a fact that it was written with a helluva lot of love, and it provided me with a perfect headcanon after 5.13. Also, pirate!sex :3

Title: Hold My Heart Until It Beats
Author: ingberry
Rating: PG
Summary: Arthur dies and waits for Albion to need him again. But most of all he waits for Merlin.

Thoughts: Okay, I listened to this before I read it, and it's such a sweet story. Angsty and it hurt my heart (okay, fine, I cried) but lovely. Worth a listen/read, for sure.

ON ANOTHER NOTE, I've decided that seeing as it's the last one *sniff* I'm gonna take part in the Merlin Big Bang again this year, so thought I'd do some pimpin'

It would be kinda great if this year produced the most fic/art yet :3

Notes: This podfic was in the mill for SO LONG ARGH! Because I caught a cold about a quarter of the way through, and then there was Christmas and it's ridiculously hard to record podfic when you've got family everywhere XD Really very worth it though, because I adore this fic to pieces, and I was so glad when the author gave me permission to record it. It's really great to be able to start giving back to the Suits fandom fore producing such awesome fanworks, too :3

OH AND SPEAKING OF SUITS, I died after watching the new episode yesterday. So freaking glad it's back :D
