Title: The Song of Avalon
Recipient: Gilli_ann
Rating: G
Pairings: Gwen & Merlin & Morgana & Arthur Pendragon
Word Count: 7632
Content Notes/Warnings: None

Summary: At the turn of the season, Uther purchases a valuable tapestry from a traveling merchant that proves to be an enchanted artifact of the Old Religion. With the help of his friends, Merlin must find a way to stop the imminent threat to Camelot all while keeping his increasingly unstable magic under control.

Author's Notes: This was definitely one of the most challenging things I've written in a while but it was such a fun idea. I tried to make it feel like an episode of Merlin where Arthur and Gwen know about Merlin and Morgana's magic and the four of them deal with these types of adventures all the time. I'd like to thank my betas as well (Ambrosius on AO3, @onceandfuturedawn on Tumblr, and @kingdowager on Tumblr) for all their help. This fic would be a mess without them. I hope you enjoy and happy holidays!

Content Notes/Warnings: Modern AU, sharing a bed, hand jobs

Summary: Arthur was straight, so why did Merlin suddenly look so tempting in the bed they had to shair on their end-of-school trip?

Author's Notes:

Dear Oddishly,

I have to confess, I was a bit shocked to write for you, seeing as I love writing fluff. But I also love writing smut, so really, it was super fun writing this for you. I hope you like it as much as I liked writing this little story. I'm really glad I got you to write for. Happy Holidays and stay safe :)

Also thanks to my lovely friend and beta :)

FIC: In for keeps [E] Merlin/Arthur

Title: In for keeps
Recipient: Aoigensou degrees
Rating: Explicit
Pairings: Merlin/Arthur Pendragon
Word Count: 21,176
Content Notes/Warnings: None
Summary: Merlin and Prince Arthur have been in a relationship for a while, unbeknownst to others. Arthur is ready to take the next step and make them official, but Merlin isn’t yet. The restrictions on his life and the mere idea of the lack of privacy seem too much for him to bear.

Separated over Christmas, an overworked and overwrought, an accident befalls Arthur.

Cue a worried Merlin racing overnight on a trouble-ridden trip to Scotland on Christmas Eve.

Well, the course of true love, never did run smooth...

Aka, the Christmas modern royalty nobody Aoigensou asked for.

Author's Notes: Aoigensou, thank you for your wonderful prompts. I did attempt something along the lines of one of them. But it didn't seem to work out. Instead, this is what I managed to produce, based on a few of your likes. I hope that you enjoy it. x

Also a big thank you to the mods and my beta who have been so patient with me!
