REMINDER POST AND PROMPT PREVIEW
This just a reminder that the prompt post is open until July 7th. By the time of this post, we have a total of 25 prompts so far, but will welcome as many as you want to leave. So if you haven't left a prompt already, please do so HERE.
Below is a sneak peak of what sort of prompts we've received so far, just so you get a feel of what kind of prompts to expect!
Pairings: Leon/Gwen
Prompt: The real reason Leon can't die is because he already has. Vampires, ghosts, take it any way you want.
Likes/Kinks: ghosts. I love them. Also whump and hurt/comfort.
Dislikes/Squicks: decapitations, hearts being cut out, hardcore torture
Additional comments: Thank you!
Rating: Anything from G to NC-17
Pairings: N/A. I do have a list of characters that I'd like to see though. Merlin, Arthur and the knights. Any other characters are up to the writer.
Prompt: A couple of villagers arrive in Camelot to seek an audience with the king. They tell of a village under attack by an evil spirit that is dressed in white. According to their story, strange disappearances have been linked to this spectre and they don't know what to do about it.
Arthur is horrified when he learns about the happenings of this village and all the mysterious disappearances/deaths that have occurred. Merlin is sure that he has heard of this evil spirit once before from his mother who told him a scary story when he was young to keep him from getting into mischief. He learns the true name of this spectre and is terrified to learn that the evil spirit has been conjured from the darkest of magic, and that it will take dark magic to destroy it.
However, with Arthur and his knights riding out to the village at sunrise. Merlin must discover the true power that this spirit has in order to kill it and he will do whatever it takes to keep Arthur safe.
Likes/Kinks: angst, h/c, fighting, protection, (quite possibly an accidental magic reveal), blood, exploration of dark magic.
Dislikes/Squicks: N/A
Additional comments: I would like a classic ghost story full of twists and turns.
Rating: PG-13 to NC-17
Pairings: Arthur/Merlin
Prompt: Arthur and the knights decide to rent a cabin/house in the forest after they finish university, intending to have some time off and some fun. Merlin is a ghost who died years ago under mysterious circumstances, who is trapped in the house and can't get out. He's completely harmless, but there’s some kind of presence holding Merlin inside the house that always makes sure to punish Merlin (the reason why is up to you) and takes it upon itself to scare all hosts of the house so Merlin never finds company for too long. Arthur notices Merlin's presence and just as something is starting to blossom between them, in spite of the circumstances, things start to go wrong, and Merlin's ghosts come back to haunt them all.
Likes/Kinks: anything but
Dislikes/Squicks: mpreg, genderbending, bestiality

Pairings: Arthur/Merlin
Prompt: The zombie apocalypse ascends without warning and no explanation, throwing everything into chaos. No one emerged from it unscathed; not even Arthur, who lost the person he loved not to a mindless, bloodthirsty monster, but to a military thug who was “just following orders.” Twenty years later, the entire world is a wasteland with humanity struggling to survive, not just from the creatures that lurk in the darkness but those who have taken up arms against their fellow man. Arthur’s daily schedule focuses only on smuggling goods under military eyes, just so he can afford the credits to purchase rations. The only relations he makes are business ones, because it’s just safer that way. He doesn’t want to get too close to anyone ever again.
That all changes one day with a chance encounter with a leader of the local resistance group, who ask for Arthur’s help smuggling something across the city. But it turns out this “something” isn’t goods, but a person: Merlin Emrys, who looks like a normal twenty-five year old. Arthur wonders why he’s stuck transporting a “kid” across the city until the truth finally comes out.
A normal person turns within being bitten after two days. Merlin was bitten three weeks ago. He’s immune, and may be the last hope humanity has at a cure.
Now he and Arthur have to work together, racing through the city (and the rest of the country), fighting against zombies and bandits alike, just so they can find a still operating lab. While there’s still time left.
Likes/Kinks: Age difference, playful banter, Arthur being gruff at first and then warming up to Merlin, Merlin trying to be cheery through everything, badassery, hurt/comfort, protectiveness, close calls, epic adventuring
Dislikes/Squicks: major character death
Additional comments: If any of you recognize this plot, yes, it’s based on the game The Last of Us, just without the parent/child dynamic between the two main characters. If you know the ending of that game, feel free to repeat it here, or make up your own. :)
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, feel to leave a screened comment on the FAQ post, PM us, or email at merlinhorror@gmail.com.
