Title: Human Sacrifices Author: GeekSlave Prompt Number: 31 Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 14,708 Characters/Pairings: Merlin/Arthur, Gaius, Nimueh, Iseldir; brief mentions of Morgana, Gwen/Lancelot Warnings: Blood, Ghosts, Reincarnation, brief homophobic remarks, violence Summary: Arthur and Merlin take trip to an abandoned castle. Ghosts and old memories make it a weird night. And things just get weirder from there. Notes:Huge thanks to my beta  dustfinger223 and to  asya_ana for reading through this and assuring me it wasn't as lame as I'd feared. My first completed Merlin/Arthur story. On A03 | |

Title: Sciophobia Artist: finemPrompt Number: 26 Rating: T Characters/Pairings: none Warnings: there's some blood Summary: When Merlin is found after being missing for over a month, terrible things begin to happen around him and it seems as though Merlin did not return alone. Notes: Well, I failed to complete my fic in time so I opted to do some stand in art while I get the story done. My plot sort of started getting out of hand. I plan to finish it within a week or so, and will update once it's done ^^; Sciophobia literally translates to "fear of shadows." It can also refer to the fear of the unseen or unknown. Title seemed appropriate for this prompt. ( fear the shadow...Collapse ) | |

Title:Tomb Artist:Itzcoatl Prompt Number:1: Arthur’s extremely rich, successful, and charming, and even if his teeth are a tiny bit crooked, he doesn't think he’s THAT bad looking. So he doesn't understand why he can’t hold onto a boyfriend. As soon as things start getting really serious they just disappear on him. He knows he must be doing something wrong, he just doesn't know what. What he doesn't know, is that his jealous father is drugging them and then bricking them up alive inside the small wall alcoves in the huge, dusty wine cellar beneath their house. There are now six corpses slowly desiccating down there. Then Arthur meets Merlin and he’s sure this time he’s found the right one… Rating:PG-13 Characters/Pairings:Merlin Warnings:I suppose being bricked-up alive kinda covers it. :) Summary:As above Notes:Acrylic on canvas board A link to a slightly larger resolution version on DeviantArt = Tomb on DeviantArt( TombCollapse ) | |

Title: Resurgam Author:  fuckyeahPrompt Number: 32 Rating: R Word Count: 16k Characters/Pairings: Arthur/Merlin Warnings: Blood, gore, minor character deaths, monsters, dark themes, ghosts, decomposing bodies, and probably a few other gross and disturbing things. Summary: Merlin can see dead people™, and Arthur's just indirectly invited the entire spirit world. To think, people said this party was going to be boring. Notes: So I promised myself that the only way I would write for this fest would be if no one took this prompt before signups closed. I might have made it way more complex than the prompter asked for (oops!), but I hope you enjoy anyway. Thanks to hms_seth for being my beta (and kind of convincing me to tattoo "AND THEN" on my hand so I won't forget ever again)! On AO3 | |

Title: Frost Author&Artist: obliqueoBeta:marukojennychicago_ruth  k_nightfox amphigoury mushroomtalePrompt Number: #12 Rating: R Characters/Pairings: Merlin/Arthur Warnings: Blood/Nude/Temporary major character death Summary: Merlin didn't escape his encounter with the dorocha as unscathed as he thought. Notes: See the Author's note below. | |

Title: 13 Ghosts Author: brandywine421Prompt Number: 16 Rating: R for violence, gore, language. Characters/Pairings:Merlin/Arthur, past Arthur/Gwen. Gwaine & Lance being bros. Warnings: Hopefully it's creepy! Summary: Loosely follows the plotline of the failtastic 13 Ghosts movie. Arthur inherits a house that is not what it seems. Notes: I love this cheesy movie and I love this prompt! Apologies for this Americanized take on the characters and the resulting ooc interpretations. 13 Ghosts | |

Title: Killer Cake Artist: sordidcrayonsPrompt Number: 17 Rating: Teen and Up Characters/Pairings: Merlin/Arthur Warnings: Mild confectionary gore Summary: Arthur and Merlin's (kind of unique) wedding cake. View at AO3 | |
