Long, somewhat plotty modern reincarnation AU wherein Merlin rooms with Prince Arthur at St. Andrew’s. Excellent writing, with really funny dialogue and some fantastic UST. It reminds me a lot of Drastically Redefining Protocol, for obvious reasons, but it’s still very much its own story. The first scene, where Merlin and Gwen meet on the train, got me smiling and I didn’t stop all the way through. Go read it and then join me in hoping desperately for a sequel.
Raffles
Bunny visits Raffles and finds him drunk.
(If you’re unfamiliar with the Raffles novels, they were written by Conan Doyle’s brother-in-law and they’re pretty much what the Sherlock Holmes stories would have been if Holmes was an amateur thief rather than an amateur detective, with a stronger streak of British-public-school homoeroticism.)
Merlin learns to change into animals.

Reboot
Q-Squared-style universe convergence fic. Three different (almost)Reboot!verses come together. There are some extra stories set in Universes B and C. The warning are (mostly) for the Universe C prequel rather than the main story.

Reboot/TOS
A slightly confusing crossover between Original!verse and Reboot!verse, involving Picard, the Nexus, Kirk!Prime, and a bet between Spock and Q. The plot would probably be easier to follow if it hadn’t been many years since I saw Generations.
I think this story suffers slightly from having too large a cast for its length. I would have liked to see more of Spock!Prime and Kirk!Prime’s reunion/relationship, and a lot more of Nu!Kirk and Kirk!Prime interacting. It’s still a great story, though, with a sequel, Deeper Down.

Reboot
This fic was really not what I was expecting at all. It’s better. I don’t want to spoil it, so I’ll just say it’s the story of Kirk and Bones’s epic relationship. Epic.
Yes, Jim decides, this man shall be my wingman, and I shall call him…Bones.
Followed by Twelve Days (a.k.a. The Epic Holiday-Themed Porn).
Reboot
AU where Bones is a werewolf. Sounds like crackfic but it isn’t, really. It is awesome, though. Stories where one character pines for another are pretty much my favourite, so the idea of Jim being Bones’s mate but not knowing about it, and Bones angsting about it, really works for me.
