There is No Road Map To Your Life by truelyesoteric

Summary:
Arthur has lived and died twenty-one times. Merlin has been there for all of his lives and deaths, he had been walking the earth since their first one. Arthur only remembers his current life. Merlin remembers everything.

This is the twenty-second life. Things are going a bit differently. Arthur is American for one, but that really is the least of this life's strangeness.


This has been my favourite PL fic so far. I really liked this idea of reincarnation fic where Arthur never remembers their past lives, whereas Merlin is doomed to watch him (and help him) be born, grow up, be great, and die young in front of him, over and over again. I liked how in this life Merlin is Arthur's assistant, because it's kind of hard to write a modern AU where Merlin is believably in any sort of serving role. I liked how all of this tied in with what we know in canon. It was also quite romantic, I thought. Read this one!

Easy As All That (Go Around A Time Or Two) by Sunsetmog

Summary:
Sometimes the hardest part of growing up is figuring out who you are in the first place.

Or: The one where Liam and Louis only kiss when they're on nights out, when it's secret, when there's no one around to see them. If no one knows you're having a sexuality crisis, that means it isn't happening, right?

Or, or: Liam accidentally turns Louis' world upside down.

A high school sixth form AU.


It's basically 85k of boys going through a sexuality crisis. I know some people find that really tiresome in fic, but I really enjoyed it here. Sometimes the boys make really bad decisions that make you want to whack them upside the head, but being afraid to come out or even admit that you might be gay is definitely a thing, so it really was a great read. I liked the world building here, it's so.. high school and so.. English. I had to blink the first time Liam asked Louis, "Can I come around for my tea?" and parse that that meant Liam going around to Louis' and eating his dinner there. Hahaha.
85k of Liam/Louis fic is a GIFT. Enjoy!
