Tales from the Loathly Lady

Title: A Lot Like Life
Wordcount: ~2,200
Warnings: slavery, bondage (of a sort), some light breathplay, and the dub-con inherent in the situation even though consent is obtained (and enthusiastic)
Summary: During treaty negotiations, the High Priestesses give Morgana an unorthodox gift, and he is more than he appears at first glance.
A/N: This has been languishing half-finished in my documents folder since ... the slavefic round of Kinkspiration, I think? So I was very glad when my "slavefic" square for Trope Bingo came up. This is set in an ambiguous AU where Uther stopped the Purge after a few years and has been trying to make treaties ever since. Title from Depeche Mode's "Master and Servant" because I could not resist.

( I wonder what sort of destiny the High Priestesses think they're trying to avert. )

Title: The Hardest Way Possible
Wordcount: ~12,500
Summary: Merlin's addicted to Craigslist, Arthur's looking for love in all the wrong places, and with a little help from their friends, they manage to get it together.
A/N: This started as a little palate cleanser after the Feast of Angst that this journal has been lately, and then sort of ... grew. Some Arthur/Others and Merlin/Others, but ... have faith in the endgame. Title by the Rustic Overtones.

( Part One )

Part Two

Title: Above
Summary: A rather fluffy re-imagining of part of "The Nightmare Begins." Merlin shows Morgana his magic.
A/N: For this kinkme_merlin prompt: Merlin/Morgana, levitation

( Lady Morgana is no fool, but even she must need more confirmation than that. )
