Title: Do not go (Gentle)
Author: blostma
Artist: haezofdaust
Pairings/characters: Ygraine/Uther; Nimueh/Aredian; Kara/Mordred; Merlin/Morgana; Gwen/Arthur; Gaius, Gwaine, Cornelius Sigan, Freya, Will, Lancelot
Rating: T
Word Count: ~40k
Warnings: Major Character Death, torture, mental abuse, child abuse, suicidal thoughts
Summary: Haunted by memories of his wife’s death and the Last Stand of the Dragons, Uther captures his destined doom, Emrys, and binds his magic. He thinks nothing of making him Arthur’s manservant in an attempt to humiliate the magic race, but as Merlin grows weaker and increasingly unstable, is this truly the wisest course of action?
Author's notes: I would like to thank the_muppet for holding this amazing challenge for the past few years. I can’t imagine the amount of time, energy, and work that goes into organizing and holding a challenge like this.
Without haezofdaust , the wonderful artwork for this fiction would never have been created. Whilst I asked for just a few drawings and perhaps a banner, she did much more than I asked. Her encouraging words and weekly updates really motivated me.
I want to profusely thank the lovely CaptainOzone who beta’d this fiction. She helped me along this hard path and kept nudging me, occasionally giving me the boot if I procrastinated. Without her, I wouldn’t have found the joy in writing again, and this fiction would not have been born.
And lastly, but not least, I want to thank everyone in the paperlegends and theheartofcamelot chatrooms.
You were all lovely. Thank you so much everyone! ღ
