Tales from the Loathly Lady

Title: Past These County Lines
Wordcount: ~6,300
Warnings: American high school AU, John Hughes references, brief reference to Agravaine/Morgana and to (unrelated to that) past minor character death, makeouts, and boys making poor decisions (don't skip school, kids!).
Summary: Merlin's never skipped school, and he's never had a real conversation with Arthur Pendragon. Both of those things are about to change.
A/N: It is a truth universally acknowledged that every writer in fandom who likes writing AUs will eventually write a high school AU. This is mine. Written for this prompt at kinkme_merlin, title from "Burn and Shine" by the Elms.
Disclaimer: I do not own Merlin.

( Senior Skip Day isn't for another month. )

Title: But It's a Good Refrain
Wordcount: ~23,000
Summary: Arthur doesn't care much about the popular radio program Dragon's Lonely Hearts until his ex-girlfriend calls in to slag him off and get advice. When he calls in and has an on-air argument with the host, it starts off more than he expected, including meddling friends, overinvolved fans, and maybe love.
A/N: Written for this prompt at kinkme_merlin. Title from Regina Spektor's "On the Radio."

Title: I Owe You a Love Song
Wordcount: ~10,200
Warning: character spoiler for 4x11
Summary: In which Arthur's courting Gwen by mix CD (and other means) and Merlin is a backwards Cyrano de Bergerac who builds robots.
A/N: So I've had the idea for this fic for ages, and I decided to write it for the holiday season for all of you to enjoy. I should say that all musical artists who are mocked are mocked with love since all of them are in my music library. All music links go to YouTube (my internet, alas, is too slow to make a fanmix for all of you). Title from Shiny Toy Guns, "I Owe You a Love Song." Further notes at the end of the fic. Let me know if any of my links are borked, there were a lot of them!
Disclaimer: I do not own Merlin, nor do I own any of the music, videos, or webcomics used in this story.

( The only thing that would be too much too soon is Celine Dion )

So, I have been scattering comment fic and ficlets all over the internet recently and thought I should have a bit of a round-up repost below.

First, some ficlets I wrote for glomp_fest 's Glomp Gifts thing.

I also wrote three little ficlets for the Three-Sentence Ficathon, all under the same cut for ease's sake, all PG.

And finally, I seem to be getting into the habit of writing notfic at my Tumblr. I won't repost the text here (and probably won't mention them here after this, but I thought I'd let you know that it's a thing that is happening), but I will link you to the two I've written so far: Freya/Gwaine and Elena/Mithian (I seem to have fallen hard for this ship, you guys. Expect it to start popping up).

Title: Get That Happy Feeling
Wordcount: ~1,000
Summary: Merlin is a bit worried when he gets the first script for season four of Kilgharrah's Adventures.
Warning: SPOILERS FOR 4x04
Notes: So I was capslocking about 4x04 and went "GAY DRAGON DADDIES" and then I went "obviously this episode cannot pass without something involving No Business Like Show Business." Title, as always, from "No Business Like Show Business" from Annie Get Your Gun.
Disclaimer: I don't own Merlin. But I do own Kilgharrah's Adventures.

( All of the baby dragons are going to laugh and call it names. )

Title: Plans For You and Me
Wordcount: ~6,700
Warnings: intoxication, fluff, girls having feelings
Summary: Elena wakes up in Gretna Green, hung over and married to her best friend. This is not how their post-grad road trip was supposed to go.
A/N: This started out as part of the "Weddings" bonus challenge for summerpornathon and I finally made it into a proper fic. The title is from "The Minnow and the Trout," by the band A Fine Frenzy. Third fic posted in under a week, good heavens. I think I need a little break.
Disclaimer: I do not own Merlin.

( Elena wakes up with a hangover and a wedding ring, abandoned on a hotel bed in Gretna Green, with Morgana hissing into her mobile in the bathroom. )

Title: Let Myself Fall
Wordcount: ~20,000
Summary: Nimueh meets an old friend, Ygraine, at the hospital where she's doing her foundation year, and finds herself wrapped up in her life and trying not to fall in love with her when she's already married to someone else.
Content Notices: So much fluff, language, pregnancy, mentions of infidelity, even more fluff.
A/N: So, this happened? I've had the idea for a while, it was meant to be for non_island 's birthday, but now it is several months later. It can be hers anyway, though. Anyway, I hope you will give this a chance even though it isn't A/M, I am quite fond of it. And if you know of anywhere I should be pimping it, let me know!
