Artist's Notes: The moment I read your prompt and saw Arthur/Gwaine/Merlin, I remembered a story you wrote, "Not Gold or Riches", which I immediately knew I had to illustrate for your Merlin_Holidays gift. I would like to thank you for making me so welcome in this fandom when I first discovered it, and for being such a lovely enabler person and fantastic writer. Happy Holidays, [livejournal.com profile] marguerite_26, I hope you like it!

...There was a mischievous glint to Merlin's eye that Arthur would have thought endearing and flirty in any other situation. Instead he felt a twist of something dark in his belly. His face must have given him away because Merlin’s expression softened and he whispered, "But only with you here. You know that, right?" Then Merlin’s lips were on his again, wet and inviting, pressing in hard like a brand. The rot inside Arthur that was threatening to grow into something ugly withered.

As soon as they broke apart, Gwaine was there beside them. "Are we doing this?"






Also on ao3.

Well fuck!! This is just amazing.

I love the expressions on their faces, the way Arthur and Merlin's hands are over his heart, and how Gwaine has his arm around them all. Plus, I always secretly suspected Merlin was hung!!!

This is absolutely sinful. (And somewhat iconic, which makes it even more sinful ... ;-)) Beautiful composition, and fab job on all their faces. Your shading is amazing. Yeah, overall I'm really quite smitten with your art! Great job!

Oh! I love this so much! WOW!

I have such a thing for this threesome! <3 and this is just perfection!

I love the way their hands are over Merlin's heart! And Gwaine wrapping them both in his arms and the look M/A are sharing! And Merlin's hand on Gwaine's neck! <3

O_O Can't stop staring! And my eyes are drifting lower... darn! no matter how far I scroll I still can't see everything! xD

Beautiful composition! Beautiful shading! Beautiful boys! Beautiful everything!

I loved the one with Arthur with reading glasses and Merlin with a cat.
And I went through your art yesterday on AO3 and I really like the way you draw, especially how you texture your art :)

YAY, fantastic! The cat was fun to draw, I hardly ever get to do animals. Thank you very much :D

Superb composition - I just love how they are entwined all over the goddamn place. Their bodies are works of art. Merlin in the middle...yummy.

YAY, thank you very much! I'm all for the entwining. Freestyle Entwining should be an olympic gay sport :DDD
