Summary: Enslaved by Kanen since childhood, Merlin has been raised to believe his collar is all that keeps him in check. That it is the line between the beast that bites and the dog that obeys…but either way, he's still an animal. Then one day Kanen's gang is ambushed and in the ensuing confusion, Merlin escapes and flees to Camelot where he attempts to start a new life. However, his old master isn’t about to let him go without a fight.

Cry Havoc was inspired by
THIS prompt at KMM and is loosely based on the film "Unleashed"
I want to take the time to thank three incredible people, without whom this fic WOULD NOT exist,
rocknvaughn Incomparable Super-Beta - She is the Peanut Butter to my Cheese-Cracker<3 -
altocello Artist Extraordinaire who believed in me before I even had a plotbunny for this beast and who provided me with inspiration, insight, ideas and of course the most AMAZING FUCKING ART EVER! (And the story title!) And
amphigoury Cheerleader Supreme who provided me with the prompt, goaded me into writing this story bigger, bolder and that-much-more graphic whenever I was feeling timid and who read along from the beginning providing wonderful insight and an amazing sounding board whenever I was stuck.
To the entire PL Chat Gang, thanks for your support, friendship, laughter, and conversation. I LOVE YOU GUYS!
My heartfelt thanks and congratulations to
the_muppet for FOUR YEARS of the Most Amazing BigBang hosted on LiveJournal!! Thank you so much for your unconditional support and unfailing patience with not only me and everyone else who participated in this challenge. You are the most wonderful person and I feel privileged just to walk the surface of the same planet you do <3
