Merlin Prompt Fest Reveals/Final Masterlist
Arthur/Merlin
eloquent_toast drew The Throne Room; R
In the early hours of the morning, Merlin gives Arthur some pleasant memories for when he's tending to boring court business.
suntipped wrote None of Them Ours; NC-17; 8.7K
Merlin comes to Camelot as part of a traveling troupe of actors. Because he's so young and pretty, he's always cast to play the female roles-standing on stage in skirts, tightly-laced bodices, bows and all-and it makes Arthur sort of crazy.
winterstorrm wrote I Will Follow; NC-17; 3.5K
When Arthur meets Merlin, his new priority in life is to keep him safe.
angelqueen04 wrote Late Night Reading; PG-13; 2K
After a long day, Merlin unwinds by reading a new story from one of his favorite authors on Camelot Forums. He gets a little more than he bargained for.
myashke wrote Come Here To Me; NC-17; 20K
When Merlin accidentally brings home a magical creature, his relationship with Arthur is forever changed.
lady_drose_sd wrote Under My Skin; PG-13; 2K
Arthur gets a tattoo and Merlin gets curious.
alba17 wrote Masquerade; NC-17; 15K
A story of love and ambition in 1930's Hollywood, featuring Arthur and Merlin as young British actors with movie star dreams.
heavenlyxbodies wrote Double Kiss; PG-13; 4K
Arthur knew Merlin was magic with a cue, but he'd never expected that magic to light in his eyes or his laugh. He'd never expected the man behind the player.
ella_bane wrote Mr Jones Falls In Love; NC-17; 8K
The day Arthur Pendragon visits an orphanage, everything changes.
kianspo wrote Let Us Dare; NC-17; 30K
Uther dies instead of Ygraine when Arthur is born. Balinor helps Ygraine secure her position as regent, magic isn't banned, and Merlin and Arthur grow up side by side. Camelot is different but not cloudless, destiny is still a troublesome thing, and Arthur is still charmingly oblivious when it comes to things that matter most in life.
pessen03 wrote A Proper Servant; R; 2K
Arthur and Merlin are stuck in the forest during a storm.
bend_me_baby wrote Last Friday Night; PG-13; 12.5K
Arthur's a hipster, but not really. And Merlin is his normal, happy self who happens to listen to too much Katy Perry and other trashy pop music.
WickedTrickstah wrote An Unlikely Pair; PG-13; 8.5K
Arthur and Merlin are reluctant flat mates after Merlin's apartment floods (again) and Morgana offers up Arthur's spare room. Arthur is secretly in love with Merlin, Merlin thinks Arthur hates him, and who is that guy with the sexy hair hugging Merlin in the café?
elirwen wrote Not a Typical Balcony Scene; NC-17; 2K
When you let a man who's in love with you think up your wooing speech, stuff might happen.
hereticalvision wrote Before I Go To Sleep; PG-13; 12.5K
Trapped by his father's expectations and his own fears, Arthur can see no way out of a life which is strangling him - until Merlin blunders into his life.
heavenlyxbodies wrote Salmon Thursdays; R; 8.4K
When Arthur chose the employee Christmas gifts, he had no idea he'd be standing in front of Pike Place Fish six months later ordering fish he didn't even like.
happyevraftr wrote I'll Be There; PG; 2.6K
With the defeat over Sigan happening just months after the Questing Beast incident, Merlin is left feeling worn out and depressed. He escapes from Camelot for the day to try and deal with his pent up emotions, but starts to get lost in his despair. Can Arthur humble himself enough to bring Merlin back?
baboomstick wrote Fragments of a Burning Reality; R; 1K
Merlin is a monster who's been caged.
flypaw wrote To Catch a Sparrow; NC-17; 13.3K
Though he was chosen as sorcerer for Camelot's court when Arthur became king, Merlin can't trust in his abilities. Shifting into animals has never been accomplished before, but Merlin sets out to prove his worth to the kingdom, knowing that no kingdom, however great, can last with a gap between the two most powerful people in the land.
Arthur/Gwen
rubber_glue wrote Love Triangles and Vicious Circles; PG; 7.8K
Lancelot is sad, Arthur is angry and although Gwen knows she's the center of it all, she cannot remember why.
rainbow_connec wrote Worlds Colliding; PG; 1K
Gwen returns to Camelot after being kidnapped by Cenred.
Elena/Gwaine
eurydice72 wrote Rescue Me; PG; 3.2K
Though Gwaine might leap to rescue a lady in distress, sometimes the lady prefers to do the rescuing herself.
Gwaine/Merlin
luisadeza drew Shiver My Soul; PG
Regard the scuttlebutt as true. Emrys had always been the captain's favourite after all.
marguerite_26 wrote Friday Night with G. E. McGregor; NC-17; 7.5K
Merlin gets the opportunity to meet his favorite author, but G. E. McGregor is not at all what he expected.
Gwaine/Lancelot
lullabylily wrote Platonic; NC-17; 2.4K
Gwaine was not getting laid. Until one night on a hunting trip he and Lancelot overhear Arthur and Merlin in the throws of passionate sex. Whoever said the bond between knights had to be platonic?
Gwen/Freya
springinstep drew I Got You; PG-13
Boston marriage - Gwen works as a clothing designer in a little boutique she runs and Freya is part of the educational team at an aquarium.
Gwen/Morgana
lovepb wrote Girl With One Eye; R; 1K
For years, Gwen had been hers and she hadn't had the faintest idea what to do about it. But now she did.
Gen
lkaet drew Big Top (Arthur, Merlin, Morgana); G
Pendragon & Son welcomes you to the greatest big top show in all of Albion.
joan_waterhouse wrote The Marrow of Life (Gwaine); G; 1.7K
Gwaine had longed for solitude when he had made his way here. Solitude and silence. But nobody is ever truly alone. There's always something. Or nothing. Which, as many will certify, is even more unsettling.
StBacchus wrote Stand By Me (Uther, Arthur, Morgana); G; 4K
When thirteen-year-old Arthur was injured outside the castle walls, Uther may have overreacted a tad. But why is Morgana trying so hard to make them reconcile?
word_never_said wrote Tragedy of Dreamers (Percival); R; 7K
Percival begins to deal with the loss of his family.
p.s. Keep an eye on the comm for news of merlin_muses's next project/fest! :D
