Title: A New Camelot
Recipient: jungle_ride
Rating: E
Pairings: Merlin/Morgana
Word Count: 5191
Content Notes/Warnings: Graphic depictions of violence, Dark!Merlin, torture, minor character death
Summary: After years of fighting against Uther Pendragon and his purge against magic, Morgana has defeated the King and won Camelot as her own.
Author's Notes: Phew! This is finally done! I really loved one of the prompts I was given. The downside is that this story changed itself three times as I played around with it. This is not what I had originally written out and planned, but I do like it so I went with it. I tried to tailor this fic to my giftee's likes and dislikes. I sincerely hope they enjoy it, and that I didn't go overboard with the dark elements!

Also, a huge thank you to my beta, who shall be unnamed for now. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

Content Notes/Warnings: None

Summary: AU! World War Two was been raging for four years and Merlin is overseas fighting as part of a tank unit when he receives a letter from Morgana, the woman he left behind.

Author's Notes: So I saw WW2 love letters, Merlin/Morgana and knew I had to write something based on that prompt for this couple. Morgana’s letter just sort of sprang into my mind one night and so I ran with it and built around it. I hope you like what I came up with. Happy Holidays xx.

Title: Brink
Recipient: dk323
Author: anonymous
Rating: Explicit
Pairings: Merlin/Morgana
Word Count: 3700
Content/Warnings: dub-con elements (see author's notes), angst, violent/homicidal thoughts, Morgana POV, angry sex
Summary: Merlin is Emrys. Morgana is going to kill him.
Author's Notes: dk323, I took your "secret, angsty meeting" prompt and ran in weird direction with it. Hope you enjoy!
This fic was beta'ed and made 100% better by verity.
Canon-compliant up until 5x07. One tiny spoiler for the first two minutes of 5x03; otherwise spoiler-free for S5, including casting spoilers.
The dub-con element: Morgana has sex with Merlin while she is in disguise; there is some ambiguity about whether Merlin knows it is her.
