do you have to live quite so relentlessly in the real world?

So leupagus hosted this "damn your fandom is awesome at what you do" fest. And mainly what I do, as my poor flist knows, is bitch about my university. Here we have Leon, Gwaine, Arthur and Merlin as Psychology PhD students, Morgana as the evil IT lady, and Elena as the sociology student for whom Gwaine would totally ignore his love of the scientific method.

What Passes for Normal, PG, blink-and-you-miss-it A/M, 930 words

This one was written for wldcatsprstr_14's "fix-it-with-fluff fest".

Merlin/Gwaine, G, Hot Chocolate, 545 words

( hot chocolate )

And these next two were written for cinnatart's multi-fandom kissing meme.

The first has backstory! This backstory: So this is from a fic I started when I first fell into this fandom where Gaius owns a summer camp for disadvantaged kids. Merlin, Gwen, Will, Elena, Gwaine and Lancelot are regular supervisors/counsellors/whatever the word is. Uther wants to buy the land the camp is on, and sends Arthur to volunteer/do reconnaissance. Merlin sees through that ruse in a second and hates Arthur with a passion. But then destiny. And now the backstory is almost longer than the kiss. *facepalm* Basically the fic is like 99% abandoned, but I figured I could at least finish a smooch for this meme.

Title: The Fires at the End of the World
Pairing/Characters: Gwaine/Merlin, Arthur and the knights
Rating: PG
Word Count: ~7500
Summary: Gwaine has an appointment with his own personal destiny, so naturally Merlin's there to interfere. Written for Oktoberquest at gwaine_quest
Content Notes: No warnings. Future fic. Incorporates some of the myths about Gawain, smooshes in a bastardisation of Scandinavian legends, and has dopey-in-love boys. Also Merlin is a badass who can also turn into an adorable cat (just go with it, okay).
Author's Note: Thanks to red_cortina for the beta, and eldee and lolafeist for handholding.
Disclaimer: The characters depicted belong to Shine and the BBC. No profit is being made.

Title: Rag Water, Bitters, and Blue Ruin
Rating: R
Pairing: Leon/Gwaine (background Arthur/Merlin, Gwen/Lancelot)
Summary: Modern AU. Written for the following prompt at kinkme_merlin: Gwaine's drinking starts to spiral out of control taking over his life. Leon grew up with a alcoholic father (or other relative if you prefer) and recognises the signs and intervenes.
Warnings: Alcoholism, hospitalisation, relapses, some mentions of Leon's father's alcohol-related death, but it's not central to the story, some discussion of AA.
Notes: Thanks to isisanubis for the beta, and to the lovely anons (and non-anons!) at the kinkmeme who posted such sweet comments ♥ Title and lyrics from the Tom Waits song 9th and Hennepin.
Word Count: 12.5k
Disclaimer: Totally not mine.

Title: Sharing Secrets
Fandom: Merlin

Summary: The boys are sharing a room (oh, okay, and a bed most nights) at uni. Arthur's having some much needed alone time and Merlin walks in on something he really doesn't expect to see.
Warnings: Pretty mild (initially self-)bondage.
Word Count: ~1900

( For Lola )

Title: Trinity (1/1)
Pairing: Arthur/Merlin/Gwaine
Rating: NC-17

( On His Knees For Her )

true story: I filled a shitload of things on KMM before actually getting into fandom properly, and kept the links via that read later addon for firefox. Naturally when my laptop died, I lost all of them. Some I barely even remember, but I stumbled upon this and aw, okay, here you go, have some fluff.

Title: Just Each Other
Pairing: Arthur/Gwen/Merlin/Morgana
Rating: G
Summary: On the way back from Ealdor they discover that sometimes all you can do is hold and be held. Set just post 1x10. Originally posted here

well, that's oddly depressing with hindsight :(

Title: (Follow Me) I'll Lead You Home (2/2)
Pairing: Arthur/Merlin
Rating: PG
Summary: Arthur waits for Merlin to wake up. Because I sort of forgot the comfort last time and that will not do. For lolafeist
Word Count: ~1300
Disclaimer: Not mine. Also not beta'd so feel free to point out glaring typos etc.

Part 1

( part 2 )

Title: Boys and Their Toys (1/1)
Pairing: Gwaine/Arthur/Merlin and combinations, but leaning towards Arthur/Merlin
Rating: NC-17
Summary: The boys model hand-harnesses, and then road test them. All in the name of science and healthy competition.
Word Count: ~4500
Notes: This is completely, entirely, utterly the fault of nuclearsugars. For tourdefierce who is beautiful and brilliant.
Thanks to mabonwitch and ekaterin24 for the beta.
Warnings: Sex-toys. Shameless porn. The pairings make this sound way more complicated than what it is (porn porn porn, Arthur has feelings about Merlin, Gwaine has feelings about sex).
Disclaimer: Not mine, don't own, no profit etc.
