Merlin, Queer as Folk, Multifandom

Open-Mouthed into the Ocean
by stymphalides. "Years after Merlin and Morgana fled Camelot together, they receive a surprise visitor who promises change." A play in one act in a single room, wonderfully paced and which earns its slow and not entirely certain resolution.

I Feel the Earth Move [Fanvid] by periru3, Tafadhali. Enormously fun disaster movie tribute (with a very apropos title sequence!)

Vid: Stand By You by thingswithwings. "Male privilege is a shield; you can choose what you use the shield for." Sometimes you have to see the future to get there.

Should Have Known Better by wrensandroses. I haven't seen a Queer as Folk vid for a long time, but I quite liked this one. For one thing it focuses on Brian's arc rather than his relationship with Justin, which I appreciated because I've seen such a bunch of ship vids for them in the past. And secondly, I think it does a good job of mining critical issues he confronts during the series.

He's Safe Here by mayalunas. I really like BYOFP gifsets, which are (sometimes animated) fanfumetti. I thought this Merlin one worked really well as a slice of a larger story.

Stumptown, Merlin, The Expanse, Terminator: Dark Fate, Peggy Carter

Born Under A Bad Sign by AurumCalendula.'been having bad luck all of my days' It's great that there are so many women who are traditional heroes or antiheroes in pop culture now, and Dex Parios is another good example. A good look at her in S1 of Stumptown.
Modern Merlin AU by screenwritr. Although I've seen many AU ideas expressed in gifsets, I've yet to see someone attempt to tell an ongoing story with them. Best of all, this one, which starts with caps from The Fall, make the usual story concept of Arthur's return particularly striking.
[Vid] Unlimited Dark Paths by runawaynun. "Bobbie Draper, Mars, and the era she imagined." I'm rather partial to a vid on my favorite Expanse character, but this has some great editing.
I'm Not Done by AurumCalendula is another good example. In my opinion there was not enough love out there for Terminator: Dark Fate. I love how this stitches together Sarah's longer story into Dani and Grace's. Not done indeed.
VID: Seven Nation Army by mithborien. ""I know my value." A Peggy Carter focused fanvid." Some us really miss Agent Carter and this vid gives us so many reasons why.
