Podfic rec: Merlin

[katikat]

"Not In This Land Alone" by torakowalski, read by crinklysolution | Arthur/Merlin, Gwen/Lance, Morganna/Morgause | Modern AU | When Merlin Emrys gets a summer job at Buckingham Palace, he doesn't expect to even meet King Arthur, let alone become involved in protecting him from a plot to overthrow the monarchy.
 | 4hrs. 10mins.

"Merlin, come here and take this one too." He waved a small painting of a blonde woman who Merlin was fairly certain was Queen Igraine. "And do try not to shout at her, all right?"

Merlin took the painting with numb hands. It wasn't as if strange things didn't happen around him all the time, but he'd never actually had a dead king talk to him before. He looked at Queen Igraine suspiciously while he carried her, but she didn't offer up any conversation, snooty of otherwise.

Relieved, he bent down to set her against the wall, next to Uther.

Several times, I laughed out loud while listening to this podfic. What an awesome, plotty thing. And I just love the way crinklysolution's reading it!
