Podfic rec: Merlin

"Leashed" by riventhorn, read by lunchee | Arthur/Merlin | AU | Rather than killing all sorcerers, Uther has a select few "leashed" and enslaved to the service of his armies. Merlin is leashed and Arthur is his master. | 1hr. 30min.

Castle 405+406

Aaaaaaaaand I'm all caught up!

( Spoilers for 405+406 )

My favorite quote?

Castle: Just say it.
Beckett: No.
Castle: Come on, you know you want to.
Beckett: I don't want to say it, Castle.
Castle: For me. Please.
Beckett: *pauses* I ain't afraid of no ghosts.
Castle: *grins* Thank you!

Those two, I want to squish them silly!

Also, the promo for 407 looks fantastic: link.
