Summary: Jobbing actor Merlin is despairing of ever getting his big break. With the acting world seemingly set against him, he takes a job as far away from London's glitzy theatreland as he can think of – at a down-at-heel castle in the far north of Scotland. There, he encounters a gruff, kilt-wearing shepherd with sturdy knees and the sort of Viking beard that Merlin would just love to bury his face in. After a rocky start, friendship blooms - and perhaps the potential for something more. But both men are hiding secrets that could blow the whole thing wide open.

it wasn't the crash that made us, but the debris

words by SlantedKnitting, art by LFB72 Summary: 

When Arthur buys a new flat, it should mean that everything in his life is slotting into place. Instead, he can’t stop going on bad dates, his sister won’t get off his back about mental health, and the cupboard doors keep mysteriously falling open.

When the ghost who haunts the flat reveals himself, Arthur decides to help him finish whatever unresolved business he has that’s keeping him from properly passing on. Once Arthur gets rid of this ghostly Merlin figure, he can go back to getting his own life in order.

Of course Merlin has a poor memory, and as Arthur tries to dig into Merlin’s life, he gets used to having a ghost around his home.

A while ago I wrote a fic for LFB72′s beautiful Reverse art and she’s kindly given me permission to post her art!

My fic is here:

Spindrift

After saving Arthur's life, merman Merlin finds himself banished from the sea. Moving in with Arthur seems to be the only option - after all, how hard can life on land be?

Harder than expected as it turns out, especially when Merlin's secret is discovered by the wrong people...

BUT WAIT! The amazing @letstheriveranswer also wrote a fic for the art, check it out here:

Autumn Leaves: Prologue by GuessImAClotpole

Summary: Arthur Pendragon finally returns. He resides in the same body, lying dormant in the brain of Arthur Covington until he can be awakened by Merlin's Magic.

THE GIFT: It is the revered Warlock and Dragonlord, Merlin Emrys’ birthday. His beautiful and faithful dragon, Aithusa has hunted high and low for the perfect gift. Merlin is about to inform her that not only is it really bad PR but in this day and age dragons can no longer kidnap people – no matter how ‘shiny’ but then he takes a closer look at the prize!

Fate has made you so

words by SlantedKnitting, art by LFB72 Summary: 

It’s 1953, and Arthur is a young, up-and-coming architect working on rebuilding London. All he wants is to be successful and live his life in peace and quiet. All his boss wants is to find a good match for his daughter Elena, and he thinks he’s found that match in Arthur. Arthur agrees to go out with her to get ahead at the firm, but the person he’s really interested in is her friend Merlin, and it turns out Elena has her own purposes for being with Arthur.

words by Camelittle, art by LFB72 Summary: 

Merlin - lover of crunchy fried snacks and secret admirer of his straight flat mate, Arthur - never expected to have a career in comedy. But after trying stand-up on a successful open mic night at university, he finds himself hooked. He and Arthur run a successful late night talk radio for a show for a while, but Arthur’s father intervenes. After a misunderstanding forces them into conflict, Merlin vows never to see Arthur again, to protect his own soft, pathetic, pining heart. Which would be fine, if the UK comedy circuit weren’t so small. But for some reason, they keep bumping into one another - at comedy festivals, and on radio and TV panel shows - and despite everything, the chemistry that made their radio show so popular in the distant past grows stronger than ever.
