Title: Awake
Author: corilannam
Artist: phoenixacid
Pairings/characters: Merlin/Arthur
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~50,000
Warnings: Some descriptions of war violence
Summary: King Arthur sleeps in Avalon, waiting to return at the hour of Albion's greatest need. But once a year he awakes and spends a single day with Merlin, who will never, ever leave him.

Author's notes: My first thanks has to go to my amazing artist phoenixacid, who not only created stunningly beautiful artworks for the story, but was also a constant source of support, patience, and encouragement. I am not exaggerating when I say that this story would not exist without her. I would have quit on it a long time ago except that I couldn't bear the thought of giving her up as my artist! So much thanks and love to you, bb. I'm really glad you picked me!

Thanks also go, as usual, to chelseafrew, anna_zee, and stellarmeadow. Without their advice, this story would have been one hell of a hot mess. Thanks as well to all my twitter, LJ, and DC buds for listening to me angst over this damn thing for a really long time. And finally, I must thank our flawless mod, the_muppet. Posting at the end means I have no unique superlatives left to give her, but we all know how much she means to this fandom. Thank you for your years of incredibly hard work and this last, spectacular fest! ♥

Author Notes: This is a remix of marguerite_26's brilliant story I Would Find a Way, created for the 2013 camelotremix. It was an honor to have a chance to play with marguerite_26's fantastic work. These characters, in particular, stuck in my head and my heart. Thank you for the chance to spend some more time with them!

And a million thanks to venivincere and sapphirescribe for their flawless and patient mod work. Thanks for making this all possible!

I would love to hear what you liked (or didn't!). Comments welcome either here or on AO3.

Author's notes: Thank you to the_muppet for once again running a near-flawless fest with astonishing patience, good humor, and really hard work! Another thank you to my wonderful artist ambelie for her beautiful work.

Enormous thanks go to anna_zee, who has been helping me figure out this story from the moment I started it almost two years ago all the way until the final edit at 1 o'clock this morning. This would be a giant mess without her, no lie. Huge thanks as well to chelseafrew for betaing and also putting up with my constant need to be scribbling at all times this summer. And a grateful shout out to stellarmeadow, lawgoddess, gwylliondream, and gilli_ann for the support and camaraderie.

Summary:Merlin's evil, lecherous doppelganger appears in Camelot and leaves a trail of broken knights behind him (A Comedy)

Notes: This is the longer version of my entry for merlin_games (GO TEAM CANON!) I cut it down to fit in the short fic category for reasons that turned out to be irrelevant. Contains dub-con elements played for comedic effect. Thanks to chelseafrew for the proofreading (and sorry about the giant cock thing).

( Merlin staggered and shook his head to clear the blurriness from his eyes in the aftermath of the spell )
