Story Title: Blue Skies over Bad Lands
Story Author: eldee
Art Pairings: Merlin/Arthur/Gwaine
Story Summary: Merlin is fairly new to the town of Camelton, and finds himself in a friendship with Arthur and Gwaine. When Arthur's sister Morgana becomes increasingly unstable, Merlin and Gwaine try to support Arthur and help Morgana, but she is tired of being the subject of gossip and having Uther refuse to claim her as his daughter. As punishment against the family, she banishes Arthur to a magical place called New Albion, and Merlin and Gwaine accidentally get pulled in there as well. When they happen upon the bridge-keeper Grittir, they're told that by the rules of the land they have a chance to win their way home -- if they can complete their quests. Courage, Strength, and Magic must work together again.
Art Warnings: These graphics will spoil and confuse you if you peak at them before you read the story.
Thanks: I was lucky enough to be paired with eldee. And by lucky enough I mean I grabbed her and she had no choice in the matter. You are amazing in every single way and I heart you so much eldee. I'm sad that it is over. What a ride. We are the BEST TEAM EVER. Huge thanks to my cheerleaders and betas, moonilicious, yue_ix, netlynn and viennajones. Everything would have looked like poo without them. THANK YOU moiraes for your help on the merlin manip. AND a special thanks to the weirdos in #GSDMerlin and #paperlegends chat. You guys kept me motivated.

Artist's notes: eldee's story is very real with a generous dose of fantasy infused later on in the story. The individual character cards try to mimic this feeling with the ghostly images of who they once were following them on their quests. Merlin's Card is a bit different because he's got something a bit special about him. His magic, which loves him dearly and everyone around him. Please do not repost or reuse these graphics in any way. I created the e-books myself so if there is something wrong with the ebooks, please contact me and let me know where and how it's messed up.
