Warnings: violence, blood/gore (consistent with a crime scene),[Minor character death (canonical)]Minor character death: Will, blood play.
Summary: Merlin Emrys, supernatural expert and consultant for the local police, knows that going to the opening night of a vampire bar isn't a good idea, not with anti-vampire sentiments running rampant. So when he draws the eye of the bar's charismatic owner, and the new Master of the City, Arthur Pendragon, he's not exactly pleased.
When a series of murders, seemingly the work of vampires, forces them to work together anyway, Merlin unwittingly finds himself falling in love. Suddenly, the lines between work and love are not as cut and dry as they seem.
Author's notes:
This story could not have come about without a few amazing people: Huge thanks goes to my cheerleader jelazakazone, who was so supportive and held my hand through this entire process. Thanks to piscaria, who very kindly offered her beta services and her time, and did a truly amazing job. This would not be near the quality it is without her eye for detail and immense knowledge of writing. And finally serious hugs to loaded_march who, aside from being a bit of a cheerleader as well, also got her hands on this at the very end, when I could no longer see straight for staring at it for so long. I am immensely grateful to all of you wonderful ladies, and it was a pleasure working with you.
(Also, serious praise and kudos to the_muppet for once again hosting this incredible fest)
