Matrix Recs - comprehensive set of posts
Jan. 5th, 2022 04:33 pmI finally finished making four massive recs posts for The Matrix and all sequels and associated media. They're up-to-date (as of yesterday) and they're marked so people can avoid spoilers for the new film if they've not seen it yet.
Most of the fics in these posts have already been shared here, but in posts so old they go back months and months. This is for anyone who doesn't want to go wandering through for fic links all over the place. (There are over 900 fics in these posts in all!)
The distribution of recs in these posts is accurate as of today, but in the future I may shuffle the divisions differently, or even add a new post if the number of Matrix fics increases drastically. To keep abreast of any new updates to the way the posts are divided, you can watch my master recs post.
And now for the recs posts, which are organized by major ship(s) alphabetically:
Post 1 - ships from "Agent Brown & Mouse" to "Neo/Persephone, Neo/Trinity"
Post 2 - Neo/Trinity fics with authors from A to O
Post 3 - Neo/Trinity fics with authors from P to Z
Post 4 - ships from "Neo/Trinity, OFC/OFC" to "Trinity/Persephone", including fics with no major ships

ALSO, since this is the last post for 2021, I'd like to thank everyone who participates in these posts whether making recs or commenting. We're all in different fandoms and have all kinds of individual likes. So it's tremendously heart-warming to see y'all interact here.
(And, hey, if you--yes, you--happen to be someone who quietly enjoys the recs, the ONLY thing I'd ask is for you to leave some comments or kudos to the fic authors, podficers, vidders, etc of the fanworks you've enjoyed.)
ANYWAYS, let me stop before I get too sappy. Wishing everyone in the comm a v. happy 2022. May it bring y'all good things. <3

Saturday Night Recs
Dec. 25th, 2021 09:38 pmI haven't had the opportunity to watch the new Matrix film out, so other than one or two *mildly* spoilery fics which were posted on the day it came out, I've not been reading new Matrix fic since it came out. All of the Matrix fic below was written using the first three films only, or (in the case of a few AO3 fics) some of the promo material. If you want to avoid all spoilers in this post, then avoid any Matrix fics with AO3 links and you'll be fine.
( Icon guide )
( Explanation of ratings )
( Content warnings and spoilers )
( Ships )
Below are the recs:
( Chronicles of Narnia (books) / Lord of the Rings (books) )
( Spiderman / The Matrix )
( The Matrix )
If any of the links above no longer work (and are inaccessible via the Wayback Machine), please let me know so I can flag them as "Dead" in my database, thanks!
Enjoy! :)

Merlin, Multifandom, Black Panther
Dec. 7th, 2021 08:38 pm- DC-SlashCon 2021 Opening Vid by Aaronantium, Kerguelen (Slashmommy). Dozens of slash ships take their bows in a wonderfully edited vid celebrating what brings many fans together.
- Merlin and Arthur kissing by Alex the Sapphic. Maybe NSFW? Beautifully done, the pose, the joined hands, the expressive details.
- But Now, I Know by IgnatiousTheWarlock. "Post the battle of Camlann, Morgana is approached by a mysterious force who gives her a second chance. Time is rewound. In a world so familiar, but strange, what will Morgana do with her second chance?" I've seen a number of time travel fics featuring either Merlin or Arthur but this is the first I can remember seeing using Morgana. An inventive plot and I like that the path was not smooth.
- The Order of the Wakandan Tribes by Petite Madame. Stunning fanart of the Black Panther cast.
- to buy my love a sword of steel by athousandvictories. Merlin if it took itself more seriously and actually focused on the traditional battles of Arthur's legendary campaign to unite Albion. Wonderfully done.
