Merlin's been kidnapped, and everything hurts. Held against his will and without his magic by Camelot's enemies, Merlin has no idea how he'll escape this one. But he does know one thing - Arthur will come. Arthur is coming.

Merlin leant back in his chair. “Well, I guess if it’s you vouching for him, I can at least meet him. And you’re sure he needs a flatmate?”

Gwen smiled brightly. “He does, really. And Morgana thinks—well, never mind that. Shall I give him your number?”

“Might as well do,” Merlin said. “I mean, it’s not like my situation can possibly get any worse.”

Merlin really should have known better than that, by now. His situation could always get worse. ***

Merlin's got no flatmate, no stipend, and nowhere else to turn. Enter Arthur, who's a bit of a mess himself. Who knows ... it just might work. ***

Did I write an "and they were ROOMMATES" fic for Glompfest? Yes, yes I did.

Whispering Wings

Merlin paused, adjusting the precious bundle in his arms yet again. Not that she appreciated it, however: Aithusa grumbled deep in her chest. Merlin didn’t hear her, but felt the vibration through his hand: she was sleepy, nestled into his front, and not wanting to move.

Given she was only a few hours old, she was heavier than he’d expected. It’d felt like a long walk up from the forest, but he’d do it again. She was so small, so perfect. There was no way he was leaving her out there. Kilgarrah had gone on about a dragon’s instincts and how they would keep her safe. Merlin’s heart didn’t care: he couldn’t leave her.

Not, however, that he had any idea what he was supposed to do now he’d reached the castle. Dawn had long since gone – he’d had to stop multiple times on his way back when Aithusa showed an interest in her environment and he’d explained things, regardless of whether she could understand him.

But his hopes of slipping in undetected were now slim: the castle would be bustling. Even more so than usual, given that the king and his closest knights had just returned from what they considered another successful quest.

Merlin snorted, and Aithusa rumbled in response, making him smile. He checked the coast was clear and slipped into the adjacent corridor. He hoped by taking the servant’s routes and keeping his jacket over Aithusa, he could pretend he was on an errand for Arthur if anyone asked. That was usually enough to stop any further questions.

His footsteps echoed off the stone, making him wince with every step. Stealth had never been his strength, but this was too important. If he could get Aithusa back to his chambers; hide her there while she grew bigger. Gaius would help him, but how to keep another secret from Arthur…

“There you are.”

It was the last voice he wanted to hear right now. Merlin looked up.

“What’re you doing?” he blurted out before he could stop himself.

Arthur stopped walking, one eyebrow raised.

“As the King of Camelot, I can do whatever I want,” he retorted.

ha finally working on my merthur glompfest entry and yes i’m so proud i actually worked on it today

the check-in quiz really asked how i was doing with it and i said i was working on it while knowing full well i’d barely started plotting ahah so never mind me…

#merthur glompfest 2023 #you came to watch me procrastinate huh #well no worries i am doing exactly that #well-wishes for my laptop's extended battery life are welcomed

[ink-through-her-veins]

In a week it’ll be a year since I posted my first Merlin fanfic on AO3…. This one makes #18 and my longest one yet as part of Merthur Glompfest. I can’t say enough how much I adore this fandom and these two idiots.

Arthur awakens with a groan. He moves to turn on his side. Hard metal digs into wrists keeping him in place. His eyes fly open. The room around him spins for a nauseating moment. He closes his eyes. When the spinning stops he opens them again.

He’s surrounded by green walls awash with the pale light of sunrise. There’s a fire roaring in the fireplace. He’s handcuffed to an iron bed frame and worst of all he recognizes the dated floral pattern of the curtains.

“Merlin!” Arthur shouts, rattling the chains against the headboard.

AO3 wrap: 13 & 27

oh heyyy!!! thanks for this ❤️

13. What’s your longest work of the year?

Oh it's one that completely flopped that I wrote for Merthur glompfest called I'm Losing All Control ['Cause There's Magic in my Bones] that has 4949 words. Which I know isn't a lot for most ppl. But for me? It's a pretty big fic LOL I usually write about 1k words or 2k at most.

27. What do you listen to while writing?

Sometimes? I just listen to one song on repeat, like Happier than ever by Billie EIlish.

Other times I just open youtube and listen to my favorites list.

But truth of the matter? The times that I spontaneously write (like yesterday, I actually wrote a lil which holy shit) i'm just listening to my favorite youtubers play a game (like old videos that i've already seen) and it works. Idk why. Is that weird? it sounds really weird aksjsdksdf

Once again thanks for asking me about my fics <3333 love ya!

Guess what, Merthur fans? We’re back!

Yes, Merthur Glompfest is returning in January 2024 for another round of fabulous fanworks, just for you 😘

What is a Glompfest, you ask?

A Glompfest is a gifting fest designed as a way for fandom creators to give back to those fans who wouldn’t usually be eligible to take part in a typical exchange fest.

How does it work?

Glompees (readers, lurkers, commenters, or fandom supporters of any stripe) will be asked to provide a prompt or prompts for glomping, which will then be claimed by Glompers (fandom creators, fic writers and fanartists) and filled according to the Glompee’s request. Completed works will then be posted to our AO3 Collection and shared here on Tumblr for everyone’s enjoyment!

For more information on how the fest works (and whether you qualify as a Glomper or a Glompee), check out our FAQ or send the mods an ask here on Tumblr.

💕 Don’t forget to follow @merthurglompfest for fest updates, and help us spread the love by spreading the word! 💕

SIGN-UPS OPEN: 1 Jan 2024 SIGN-UPS CLOSE: 15 Jan 2024

5, 4, 3, 2, 1

Thank you so much for tagging me @burglarhobbit !!!! Ily!!!

Rules: post the top 5 works you’re most proud of that you released in 2022 (not necessarily your most popular), your top 4 current WIPs that you’re excited to release in the new year, your top 3 biggest improvements in your writing over the past year, your top 2 resolutions (ways you wish to improve your writing/blog) for the new year, and your number 1 favorite line you’ve written this year!

5 works in 2022

Well, I only posted like 4 works total in 2022 so I’ll rank them lol.

1. You Have To Chase It: My Merlin Twitter fic that I did for glompfest 2022. Or, Immortal!Merlin goes on Twitter to complain about his dead king. Unrelatedly, Arthur joins Twitter. This was a labor of love done in the midst of finals and I genuinely think it’s the fic im most proud of out of everything I’ve ever written. It makes me very very happy lol.

2. Chapters 7-9 of You, Servant!: okay this is kinda cheating because it’s technically still a wip, but I had a horrible period of writers block between chapter 6 and 7 and I’m just so proud of myself for getting back into it and churning out some of, imo, the best chapters of the story.

3. Questions: or my ace!Arthur and grey ace!merlin fic set around The Changeling. Listen, I am NOT a short form writer by any means. My brain doesn’t work like that usually. So, to my surprise, I was so so happy with how this one came out. It was a valentines mini exchange fic and my giftee liked it, so that also made me very happy.

4. The Little Things: I made a post earlier in the year that got a lot of traction and wrote a little drabble based on it that was sitting in my wip folder for so long and I had some future plans for it, but just couldn’t find the time to write more, so I posted it. I think it came out great and I’m still hoping to either return to it one day or hoping that maybe someone else will do something with it Lolol.

4 WIPs I’m excited to post in 2022

1. My RTGE fic that I still haven’t posted but have about 3 chapters for. It was supposed to be a simple prompt, but kinda turned into a s1 rewrite. Oops. I really really love where it’s going so far though.

2. The rest of You, Servant! This will be my first ongoing WIP that I finish and I swear I will finish it if it kills me. I’ve had the ending planned for almost two years now, it’s just about getting it written.

3. A series of snippets set in the You Have to Chase it universe. Aaaaaand a possible sequel. I have Plans hahaha.

4. Futuristic Merthur Soulmate AU: I have a vague idea of where I want this to go and a few plans for how I want to write it, but I probably won’t get to it until later in the year. It will probably be my next big project though.

3 things I’ve improved on

Ughhh i think one of the biggest issues in my writing is syntax. Sometimes the words just sound right to me but don’t sound right to anyone else. But I think I’ve gotten a lot better at being more concise and getting rid of clunky descriptions/dialogue. I also think I’ve gotten better at writing romance, which was very hard for me for a long time. I think I was just worried that anything I wrote would be too cheesy, but then I realized that romance is cheesy. That’s kind of the point. Last thing is I’ve gotten better at not using em dashes every four lines. Like I still use them a lot, but not as much.

2 resolutions

1. I want to get to a point where I don’t have to reread what I’ve written four hundred times before I settle on something I like. Just two hundred times is enough.

2. I want to be able to incorporate more motion in my dialogue scenes. I’ve always admired people who could make a scene feel grounded and alive while their characters are speaking. I want everything to move and breath and vibrate like it does in real life.

My favorite line I’ve written in 2022

“You deserve everything you want in life. But the thing is, sometimes you have to chase it. You can’t wait for it to come to you and you can’t pretend that it doesn’t exist when it doesn’t.”

I have had Hold On To Your Heart (Hold It High Above Flood Waters) by tehfanglyfish for about an hour and it is the most beautiful thing ❤

Also, it's now canon. The show was a lie. This is the truth. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Summary:

It all starts with some goblets...

Comments: Oh wow, did I absolutely love this fic! I really enjoy a good bodyswap fic and this one is just *chef’s kiss.* I adored how protective Merlin and Arthur were of each other, and seeing Arthur work through the magic reveal (and his feelings for Merlin) while he was in Merlin’s body made for a great read. And even though much of the fic they’re bodyswapped I loved how they recognized each other so well and all the feelings that came with it. Just a wonderful fic!!

• A Kingdom Beyond the Horizon (ao3 wattpad or fanfiction.net only, wip) - 5k+ words, Merlin/Stargate: Atlantis | It was always only a matter of time before the King of Camelot went on another sorcery-expelling rampage, but no one saw this one coming. No one except for Merlin, the serving boy to the King's son, Prince Arthur.

Among those sorcerers Merlin warns is a woman by the name of Forridel, who lives in the Lower Town. Forridel spreads the message and takes with her a few fellow fugitives as she hastily escapes the kingdom.

If there was but one hideout in which the sorcerers should never have taken refuge, it was the cave in the outskirts of the nearby forest. But what other choice did they have?

[rapha-reads]

Sometimes you just gotta put on a Dire Straits 1 hour long live at Wembley and reread old Merthur fics that make you want to cry and feel like your heart is breaking and remending constantly.

Anyway I need 10 shots of tequila, 16 hours of sleep and a cuddle session with my best friend.

And maybe a pizza.

#rapha rambles #the 1985 dire straits live at wembley is amazing #i love the dire straits - and obvi my favorite of their song is romeo and juliet because i am not original (and totally obsessed) #read the latest glompfest fic and tintagel by seperis (a 2009 fic) because i was in the mood for delightfully gothic dark and angsty merthur #by the way if you haven't read tintagel by seperis on ao3 do yourself a favor and go read it #right the live is over so it's time to get some sleep
