Fandom/Ship: Merlin (BBC) – Merlin/Arthur
Rating: NC17
Word Count: 1.5k
Warnings: Creative use of historic information
Summary: Arthur takes a bath. (While reading about medieval life I was inspired by descriptions of how the rich and privilege could scent their bath and that smelling nice and flowery was thought to reflect the quality of your soul.)
Disclaimers: I have no connection with the BBC or any members of the Royal family in any time period.  
A/N: We're having a bit of a clean out, bullying each other into finishing unfinished stories and this is one of mine.

tl;dr A/N aka "An extremely brief discourse on reincarnation."
This is a remix of nyargles' “Thirteen Years” (Merlin/Arthur, PG, 1066 words) for camelotremix @ AO3. Section titles from The Beatles' "All Together Now."

Perhaps that, right there, was where it went wrong. They were greedy for time, and now they both had to pay the price.

Title: More Precious Than (The Found Something Good Remix)
Rating: PG-13
Ship(s): Merlin/Arthur
Post type: 1582~ words one shot
A/N: This is a remix of Harlequin/slashweaver's “Hunting Trip: 01 Men Behaving Chivalrously (or not)” (Merlin/Arthur, PG-13, 1891 words) for camelotremix @ AO3.

Sometimes, a stone has an indented center which fits your thumb perfectly. This is a worry stone.

Being a friend to Arthur Pendragon was no frolic in the field. It was like braving a forest filled with hostile magical creatures armed with nothing but a basket of mushrooms and bluebells. After all, Merlin could hardly expect to be rescued by a dashing knight wannabe
more than once.

Title: The Court Magician
Length: ~18k in six parts
Author: spaghettitoes
Fandom (Pairing): Merlin (Arthur/Merlin)
Rating: PG-13
Beta: 1st Draft lilithilien 2nd Draft wildepet
Warnings: Some violence towards mythological creatures
Summary: Someone arrives in Camelot with a proposition for Merlin that causes him to reassess his priorities, learning more about himself and Arthur in the process.
Disclaimer: I’m going to stop using up birthday wishes and start practising my Jedi mind trick because I still have no control, influence or connection with this show.
A/N: Original idea by Lilithilien, taken from her busy hands and then exposed to my thought processes. We imagined the original character being played by an actor we both adore (Roman in the show Alles Was Zaehlt) so written with him in mind.
Set just after the end of Series 2 and if you squint a bit not wholly contradictory with Series 3.
Many thanks to my betas who thoroughly saved my backside and sanity, even if we all hold different opinions on commas.

It’s all linked *fingers crossed* but here are all six parts, if my linking goes awry again (because I’m still learning HTML and this is my first big post!) just give me a nudge and I’ll initiate repairs. I’d love to know what people think and don’t mind a little constructive criticism.

Part One
Part Two
Part Three
Part Four

Ship(s): Merlin/sexy dreams of Arthur
Post type: 730~word ficlet
A/N: Written for summerpornathon's kindness challenge; answers the first half of this kinkme_merlin prompt: Arthur/Merlin, magic book. Merlin finds a sort of magic book that turns him on and makes him come in the best kind of ways whenever he fondles it.

Merlin was bored. Arthur was away on some diplomatic visit*, and he would not be back for at least another fortnight.

Title: Enchanted No More
Rating: mostly PG-13, but soft R for explicit kissing, I guess?
Ship(s): one-sided Vivian/Arthur, Vivian/Leon
Post type: 500-word ModernDay!AU ficlet

Vivian didn't remember when her fascination with Arthur Pendragon started. One day he was the odious son of her father's business partner and, by the next, he shone gold like knights of old.

Title: In the Middle
Rating: PG-13
Ship(s): Arthur/Merlin/Lancelot, shades of OT5
Post type: 150-word flopsy

It’s not that Merlin hates being in the middle. Arthur’s bed is big enough for three grown men, especially if one is as skinny as Merlin.
