Camelot Remix 2015 (part 2)
I haven't caught up yet on ALL camelotremix stories but here you go! Some of my picks of week 2 and 3 :)
Also, Here's My Address (The Between Me and You Remix) by daroh
Merlin/Arthur | Words: 18058 | Teen And Up Audiences | Modern AU, HS
Summary: It was the first day of Merlin’s last year at school-the year he’d been dreading for as long as he could remember. Arthur had left for uni, their inseparability now a matter of history. Everyone knew you never really stayed friends with people back at home, no matter how much you meant to.
Arthur had laughed that worry off-"Oh please, as if I could be rid of you that easily"-but losing Arthur may prove easier than Merlin even feared possible.
Why I rec:
First of all I wanted to say that I LOVED the original story so so much ("Between you and me" by beccadearie which is written as a series of notes exchanged between Arthur and Merlin throughout their lives <3 )
So I dived right into this one when it was posted and found it incredibly fitting! It's matching both the levels of sweetness and angst of the original and ads a beautiful twist to it all, expanding parts that I ached to know better!
It felt so teenage'y, so coming-of-age! It's a time for being silly, making mistakes, not being sure how to react in awkward situations like the one with Merlin and Mordred, but also for being stupidly lost and in love and not dealing with things.
I loved your boys so much!
And the kiss - gaaaaaah! What a gorgeous, gorgeous one! Such a good entry! <3

Speeding Cars (The Lightning Never Strikes Twice Remix) by EachPeachPearPlum
Merlin/Arthur | Words: 11297 | Teen And Up Audiences | Modern AU
Summary: “I got my miracle when you woke up, Arthur,” Merlin says, all his skin flayed away until he’s just muscles and bone and raw emotion on display. “I’m not stupid enough to think I deserve another one.”
(Despite what the doctors say, Arthur's coma is not permanent or persistent or whatever the heck else it could have been, and Merlin's grateful for that, more than he can possibly say, but just because Arthur's awake it doesn't mean they're going to live happily ever after)
Why I rec:
Oh wow. What a story!
Heartwrenching. Gawd.
I loved the writing, the sense of being lost forever, the sadness of it, the horrible loss. Beautifully written piece.
Beware of heartbreak and possible tears you who open this story. ___
Natural Magic (The Paper Dragon Remix) by glim
Merlin/Arthur | Words: 1189 | General Audiences | Canon AU
Summary: Magic is like this:
Ever unfolding, perpetually changing, shifting, quicksilver and clouds.
Why I rec:
Oh my, what a beautiful, sweet and poetic story! This melted my heart a bit and made me sigh and filled me with joy because I just LOVE when things are this poetic.
Really gorgeous!
Now I'm off to catch on reading the next entries! :)
