Oooh, I have read that Merlin fic and it's fabulous. Definitely worth a re-read. And I'm pretty much a judgement-free zone when it comes to SPN and Wincest (so long as it's well written, I'm game for just about anything), so both these stories sound fantastic. Thank you!

And I'm pretty sure I've read that astolat piece too, but if I'm not entirely certain, clearly it deserves another look. (She's one of those writers I tend to return to on on days when I need well written comfort food. She's kind of like the fandom equivalent of Jane Austen, in that way.)

Thanks for these!
