We’ve had an ask similar to this and so I thought we could link you to the ask which is here.
Exposed
Author: gatepromise
Pairing: Bradley James/Colin Morgan
Rating: NC-17
Length: Long (~134 300 words)
Genre: Romance, Theatre, Angst
Warnings: Public Nudity (well, appearing naked on stage)
Summary: Bradley James and Colin Morgan are in a theater play together, in which they play gay lovers. The show is directed by their Merlin co-star, Richard Wilson. There is full frontal onstage nudity. They are not in a romantic relationship when the show starts, but…
Mod Comment: Well, it’s a long fic. Very long. Extremely long (I think you probably get the point). However it’s definitely worth a read for any Brolin fan.

The Terrible Jabberwock
Author: fakinbrilliance
Pairing: Gen (slight Bradley/Colin)
Rating: PG13 (slight swearing)
Length: Moderate (~5500 words)
Genre: Humour
Summary: A trip to Japan, a centipede, and Colin doesn’t get to wear pants.
Mod’s comment: Ridiculously hilarious RPF based partly on the antics of the Merlin boys and partly on the wonderful nonsense of Lewis Carroll and Alice in Wonderland. There’s a particularly chuckle worthy moment when the OT4 of the Merlin cast are all huddled on a hotel couch away from the small insect on the floor.

Also. I just wanted to give a MASSIVE apology to all of you, for our dreadful lack of posts recently. RPF for Merlin seems to suffering a drought of new stories at the moment, and although we’ll try our best to rec everything we possibly can, we can do naught but go with the flow of the fandom! Thanks for sticking by us, we’ll definitely attempt to be far more steady in our recs of all the great RPF out there!!

Colin Morgan: Matchmaker
Author: giselleslash Pairing: Bradley James/Colin Morgan, Eoin Macken/Katie McGrath Rating: R Length: Moderate (~5 900 words) Genre: Romance, Humour, Slight Crack, Boys-being-oblivious Summary: Colin is quite brilliant at matchmaking. Except when he isn’t. Mod Comment: Colin likes to think that he’s an expert matchmaker and over the first three season tries to set up Bradley with Angel and Katie. Except he gets weird feelings about it, and he should really, really, stop thinking about Bradley and strap-ons when he jerks off.

Rating: PG
Length: Moderate (~2672 words)

Stranded
Author: bananahater336
Pairing: Bradley/Colin (slight Katie/Colin and Colin/Eoin)
Rating: R
Length: Long (no word-count indicated - estimated~20 000)
Summary: American AU. It’s a late August morning, and Colin’s car has just run out of gas on the side of Interstate 55. While desperately trying to reach anyone who would be willing to give him a hand (and it’s increasingly clear to him that there aren’t many), he must come to terms with the things about himself that have isolated him so much and the fact that he drove away the only person he ever wanted to spend his life with.
Mod’s comment: So well written and so imaginative. It explores Colin’s complex relationships in this completely constructed AU setting, and does it with ease and understanding. All the applause. The accompanying art’s also pretty freaking cool.

Hi, I was wondering if you knew of any RPF fics in which Colin is being abused and the rest of the cast/Bradley find out?
Asketh - Anonymous
I’m sorry anon but I don’t know any fics in which Colin’s being abused. However here are some hurt/comfort fics that you may enjoy:
Cutting Room | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | by reveuse2:
It’s 2013 and the cameras are about to roll on the Merlin Movie - but can its two stars put aside the pain of their past and recapture the magic? Bradley/Colin.
How To Fight Loneliness by brokenandremade:
Off camera, Colin is really extremely shy, especially around people he doesn’t know well. It was alright to harbor an unrequited crush on Bradley while it was just them and the girls. But with the new dynamic on set in S4, Colin feels like he’s losing even his friend Bradley to the new ‘more interesting’ people. He can’t change who he is, so instead of fighting for Bradley’s attention, Colin rivets into himself, and soon the only time he’s laughing is when Merlin is. With so many new people around, no one is watching him too closely, so when he forgets to eat time and again, no one notices. Until he collapses on set. Bradley/Colin
In the Bones by wholly_crepe: When Bradley finds out that Colin is gay, he doesn’t quite know how he feels about it.
It Seems I Can’t Let Go by nu_breed: Colin is oh so very Catholic and not at all gay, thank you very much. He doesn’t fall in love with blokes, he just really likes having sex with them is all. Denial is not just a river in Egypt, either.
Man, Rearranged by calliglad: (Well one is more about Bradley having mental issues actually) After ‘Merlin’, Bradley’s career skyrockets. Amidst his growing fame and budding relationship with Colin, he starts having strange dreams and begins to wonder what is real and what isn’t.
The Little Things by acetamide: Bradley tells people that it took a while, but now he understands Colin. He’s lying. B/C where Colin has body image issues.

Maybe The Seaside is The Place
Author: junkshop_disco Pairing: Bradley James/Colin Morgan Rating: R Length: Long (~25 000 words) Genre: Post Merlin, Angst, Romance Warnings: Infidelity Summary: Colin’s unbreakable rule about not doing anything romantic with his co-stars leads to a heart broken into pieces around his Merlin boots. Years later, an unexpected reunion with Bradley gives him another chance — assuming he can make room in his schedule between jobs and existential crises for love, that is. Mod Comment: This fic should come with a warning attached to it because oh boy it is angsty. But it’s wonderfully written and while it did break my itty bitty shipper heart it put it all back together again in the end.

You're All A Part of Me
Author: somerdaye Pairing: Bradley James/Colin Morgan, Eoin Macken/Katie McGrath Rating: R Length: Long (~20 200 words) Genre: Romance, Post Merlin, Angst, Boys-being-oblivious Summary: Merlin is finished, and despite their vehement protests, Colin and Katie are whisked off to Italy with some of the other young cast members before they have to say goodbye and move on with their lives. Problem is, Colin thinks he might possibly be in love with his (straight) on-set best friend - and neither of them are terribly good at communicating. Two weeks of misunderstandings, blanket forts, sofa-sleeping, and way too much alcohol leads to something pretty close to happiness. Mod Comment: Bradley you monster! Why did you kill poor Angel’s goldfish?! But in all seriousness this was amazing and I loved the characterisation (although I didn’t quite agree with the fact that Rupert was a bit stupid even though it was rather funny).

A Questionable Quest
Author: lamardeuse
Pairing: Bradley James/Colin Morgan
Rating: R
Length: Long (~11 100 words)
Genre: Romance, Humour
Summary: Bradley, Colin, and the quest for the perfect crisp.
Mod Comment: This fic. Of course the boys would go on a quest around the country to find the perfect chips and then fall in love along the way. And damn, I’ve never seen an Onion Bhaji chip before but I sure as hell want some now.
Also a heartfelt apology to our followers for not reccing as much as we used to.

Mod Comment: So Bradley finds Cody shirtless in Colin’s room and immediately jumps to that conclusion. Much internal angsting ensues and jealous!Bradley guest starrs.
