Summary
Folk-musician, Merlin Emrys, feels like he’s slowly but surely getting his foot in the door in the music industry. He has a decent following on social media, a gig almost every other night and people have (mostly) stopped pouring beer into his guitar case as a tip. But when an old friend of Gwen’s offers him a slot as the warm-up act for one of his favourite musicians on a live music show watched worldwide, Merlin finds his career fast-tracked.
Now, navigating fake relationships, tabloid gossip, the paparazzi, corporate scandals and a rather unfortunate crush on Arthur Pendragon, the handsome owner of Excalibur Records, Merlin is learning that big dreams come at a huge price.

Summary
First piece of fiction I've ever written, born of a weekend spent watching the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings movies for the first time. I am so fascinated by the single-minded devotion Legolas shows Aragorn in the original trilogy, and the relative selflessness of that relationship compared to his obsession with Tauriel in the Hobbit movies.
I admit to never having read the books, so I'm sure there are many inaccuracies and deviations from Tolkien's canon.
Title from the song by The Weakerthans

Summary
Part 2 of my "Induration" series. This story takes place after "The Unfurling Leaf," with "Warm Comfort" occurring sometime after this one.
As alluded to in my other stories, Estel and Legolas have a long history of friendship before they ever become lovers. This is the tale of how Estel meets Legolas for the first time and ends up being saved by Legolas from drowning in the Bruinen. This is a friendly story with no slash, no warnings, and only the vaguest foreshadowing of events that occur in future stories.
I own none of these characters and make no money from writing about them.

Summary
In the midst of capturing a magical creature, Merlin is transported to a world where Camelot is home to thousands of magic-users. King Uther is nowhere to be found, Arthur is a prince again, and Queen Ygraine sits on the throne.
Merlin plans to get back to his own reality, to his own Camelot. To do that, however, he must have access to information that is inside a shielded castle protected by powerful sorcerers. The only way in is to participate in the Apprentice Exam and be an apprentice to a magic-user included in Camelot's court. Should be easy . . . right?
Conspiracies are afoot and Merlin just knows that, somehow, he is or will be involved. Just his luck.

Summary
"I'm not sure what I'd have done."
"And I didn't want to put you in that position.”For better or for worse, Arthur knows Merlin's secret. The problem? Merlin doesn't know Arthur knows. This leaves Arthur with a predicament... and an opportunity. A test. Three trials and three opportunities for Merlin to prove he doesn't deserve death. Arthur hopes he will pass them. Maybe then the image of Merlin's golden eyes will stop haunting him.
Merlin opened his mouth. A noise unlike any sound Arthur had ever heard escaped from it. Loud and rumbling and guttural, inhuman, and in no way, shape, or form could actually be coming from his manservant.
But it was. And Merlin was speaking.
"O drakon, e male so ftengometta tesd'hup'anankes! Erkheo!"
For a minute, there was complete silence—a silence in which Arthur just stared from behind a tree in an incomprehensive daze.
But then there was a sound. Both loud and forceful and... familiar.
The sound of flapping wings.
AKA an in-depth character study of Arthur. I do not endorse Arthur's actions, but this is what I think he'd do in canon. This was my season 3 prediction!

Summary
It's the first Yule after Uther's death and in spite of some initial doubts as to the propriety of holding revels, Arthur decides to celebrate the festival all the same. The populace deserves a time for merry-making and so do his friends and loved ones. Now present exchanges are a Camelot Yuletide tradition, a long established convention. And that's where Arthur's plans falter just a little. While he knows what to give his friends and followers, he has no idea how to reward Merlin. Right, Merlin...

Summary
“You’re the Prince?” Merlin says, eyeing him. He hesitates, then adds, defiant, “The Mad Prince of Camelot.”
Arthur doesn’t move. There’s quiet for a long time, then he says it. “I am.”
“You don’t seem mad,” he says.
The smile wells up from somewhere deep, and very sad. “Well, Merlin,” he says, “give me time.”Series

Summary
“Will you?” Jethro’s head slightly tilted in his direction, indicating he was listening, so the Doctor continued. “Forget them, that is.” At this, Jethro met the Doctor’s eyes with an intensity that made the time-lord shudder.
“Never in a million years.”
In which Jethro Cane is not all that he seems to be, and the Doctor is practically obvious to the fact.
