Lovely people! Hello, lovely people! We're back with a double round up and a double set of stats, because peach had no other tasks to procrastinate on last month and so she forgot the round up. Now she's got nothing but other tasks, so full procrastination mode has commenced and here she is!
In September, we got a wonder 54 fills created by 30 beautiful people! 47 were fics, five were artworks, and two were lovely lovely gifs.
Wanna know about ships? Merlin/Arthur was once again top of the list with 26, followed by gen at 14. After that, we've got Merlin/Gwaine and Arthur/Gwen with two, followed by 10 different ship with one fill each (in alphabetical order, Arthur/Lancelot/Leon, Elena/Freya, Gwen/Gwen, Gwen/Lancelot, Leon/Mithian, Merlin/Elyan, Merlin/Freya, Merlin/Gwen, Merlin/Gwen/Morgana and Mithian/Morgana)!
Not enough stats for you? No worries, here's October, where we got 46 gorgeous fills created by 14 fantabulous participants! Despite the reduced quantity, there was much greater variety - 31 fics, seven artworks, three gifs, a fanvid, a moodboard, and then three combo fills (gif+playlist, fic+moodboard, fic+art)!
Ships? Merlin/Arthur with 20, gen only just behind at 19, Gwaine/Percival with two, and then Arthur/Gwen, Gwen/Lancelot, Merlin/Gwaine, Merlin/Gwen and Merlin/Lancelot all with one!
Now, the things you actually care about - the fills! They're all below the cut, sorted by ship and then by rating. Please remember to check the warnings, and practice self-care before clicking on those links!

Summary: Arthur could take Morgana's betrayal and Uther's death, could take the loss of Lancelot and the fact that Merlin had magic. Barely and his days singed with grief, but his kingdom always came first. The revelation, though, that Merlin had been by his side through all these years and hardships solely due to some prophecy? That—well, that is the one truth too bitter to swallow. When he leaves for an ill-advised break to his mother's childhood home to get away from it all, more things come to light than the simply and irrevocable fact that no authority—no king, no prince, no destiny—could ever make Merlin do anything.

Summary: Arthur knows who he's supposed to be. His father's son, following in the footsteps of a corporate giant whose expectations include the weight of his long-wanted acceptance in exchange for Arthur's full and complete obedience. His life will be global travel, cigars and whiskey, and time more spent in an office than any home he could ever make. It does not involve Merlin, the man who broke his heart and has now stumbled with him into another world that will more likely consume them than let them go. In the grasp of fae trickery and rules, their path through this new place--this Otherworld--will push them to bloody and raw limits. For better or worse, they'll have to lean on each other in a way they'd forgotten to have a chance of returning home. But the farther they go, the more is revealed. Their breakup was not what it seemed. Life apart had not given them the relief they'd hoped. And, at the root of it all, they don't want to be apart.
