Out of Time
Title: Out of Time
Author: Tari_Sue
Artist: LFB72
Pairings/Characters: Merlin/Arthur, Morgana, Gwen, Lance, Leon, Mordred, Morgause, Valiant, Alvarr, Enmyria, Uther, Mithian
Rating: M? Possibly? I dunno, I never know
Word Count: 66,426
Warnings: Temporary character death. They get better
Disclaimer: I don't own Merlin, I tried to kidnap him but he's a slippery little bugger and kept escaping. I make no money. At all. From anything. Do you hear me ILR? NOTHING.
Author's notes: I wasn't sure I was going to do ACBB this year, and then one of my favourite artists offered to work with me - once I realised she actually meant it, I couldn't possibly turn her down! LFB has been a constant source of inspiration for this fic, and many of the ideas in it are hers. Thank you so much, LFB, I have loved working with you, and your art is amazing and wonderful! Seriously, i don't mind if you don't read the fic, but what ever you do, go and stare in wonder at the gorgeous art!
A million thank yous to the wonderful Kitty for organising ACBB - this is my favourite fest and all your hard work is so very appreciated!
Also a shout out to Polomonkey, who gave me the idea for the fic - I'm sorry, my lovely, I have strayed far and wide from the original prompt!
Lastly, thank you to Momo, for the patient beta and for catching all my mistakes - I've carried on fiddling with it since Momo looked at this, so any remaining mistakes are all my own fault.
Artist's notes: I feel so privileged and lucky to have met Tari_Sue and had the opportunity to work with her on this project, to discuss things and toss ideas around. It's a wonderful story, I love it to bits and it's been an absolute blast illustrating it. There were times when I wondered if I'd be able to complete all the art, it was really tough but I finally did it and due to the later posting date, I even managed to shoehorn two extra pieces in!
Many thanks to the mods and organisers of the fest for keeping the enthusiasm and interest in the fandom going and for being so positive and encouraging.
A special shout out goes to; DYLogger and Merlinsdeheune (sindhunathi) who yet again, have dispensed invaluable art advice and encouragement - I could not have done it without you.
Summary: For some reason, Arthur always assumed he would be more useful than this in the face of a robbery, or other such life threatening occurrence. In his head, if anyone was stupid enough to try and rob a bank with one of the highest tech security systems in the world, he would have stood up to them and fought back. Seriously, who even robs banks in person in this day and age anyway? Have these people never heard of the internet?
In which Arthur has to spend too much time with his ex, has several goes at getting it right, and where time may or may not be on his side.
