Rating: G
Contains (Highlight to view): *Old men in love.*

Notes: Written for the winterknights fest. Thank you to the prompter tari_sue for such a delightful prompt! I hope I've done you proud.
Summary: Gaius and Geoffrey have been together for decades, and have long been set in their own wonderful ways. But perhaps it's not entirely unexpected that the festive season brings them more than one surprise?

Title: Of Ghosts and Gooseberries
Author: Harlequin
Universe: Merlin
Characters featured: Arthur, Leon, Merlin
Category, Word count: Short story; 2048 words
Rating: PG13
Summary: Arthur is rather surprised when Leon visits him late one night in order to read him poetry.

Notes: A humble offering for my dear friend Cello on her birthday … with apologies that the story didn’t turn out quite as Leon or I wished! (My sister suggests I write a sequel for you, for your next birthday.)

Set immediately following ep 503 The Death Song of Uther Pendragon, and humbly borrowing Poem #31 by Sappho.

Just in case it’s not clear, the word “gooseberry” in this context is an informal British usage: “a third person in the company of two people, especially lovers, who would prefer to be alone, e.g. ‘they didn’t want me playing gooseberry on their first date’.”

Title: Beltane
Author: Harlequin
Universe: Merlin
Characters featured: Merlin/Gaius
Category, Word count: Short story; 4260 words
Rating: R
Summary: Gaius hasn’t seen Merlin since the aftermath of Camlann, and misses him dreadfully, but the Beltane celebrations bring a number of visitors to Camelot along with the promise of renewed life.
Notes: For riventhorn, in humble gratitude for the beautiful story Ember Day, and also for isisanubis and moonflower999. I love that you all love these two men as much as I do.
With humble apologies to those who know far more about Beltane and all things medieval than I do. I’m afraid I went with the show’s example of wantonly borrowing and adapting only what suited the story.

I am very proud to have been honoured in this year's

tonyhead_awards for one of my Uther fics, Possession. (You can find it here on AO3.) All the winners and runners-up - for videos, art and fiction - are listed in this post. I'm absolutely certain that all of those links will be well worth following.

And check out these beautiful banners made by Funforahermit and Caztaliah!!!

Winner - Possession by harlequin (julie)

“'Possession’ by harlequin, is a sexy, slow-burning fever of dark desires first quietly nursed in solitude, then dangerously indulged behind closed doors. But when one man’s humiliation is another man’s satisfaction; who, exactly, is possessing whom?”

Runner-up - Possession by harlequin (julie)

“In 'Possession’, harlequin takes readers on a dark and sometimes frightening journey into the secret, lonely, complicated heart of Camelot’s most notoriously cruel king. In Camelot, Uther Pendragon’s word is law. He takes what he likes, and whom he likes, without apology. But when he finds himself burning with desires that even he can’t easily rationalize, he may find that his heart is neither as hard as he pretends, nor the fiercest in Camelot after all.”

Congratulations to all the other creatives who were also acknowledged! I am very grateful indeed to the

tonyhead_awards and everyone involved. What a delightful way to start the day. ♥

The awesome Erica has created a podfic of my Merlin/Arthur story, First Night: Someone Else. I'm just delighted! It's so cool to hear one's words on another's tongue. :-) You can find it on AO3, if you're interested. ♥

Current Mood: jubilant

I have had an exciting few days! Today's excitement was my Paperlegends fic going live, along with the awesome art created by

altocello. If you give it a try, I hope you'll enjoy it!

title-page

Summary: The world-worn Mr Pettigrew has only one ambition in life, and that is to be a gentleman's gentleman. Having just been summarily dismissed from his current post, down to his last pennies - and with another Great War looming over London - even this modest goal now seems far beyond his reach. At his lowest ebb, he grasps at an opportunity - and suddenly the shabby yet proper old man finds himself awhirl amidst the glamorous immoral world of beautiful nightclub singer Sir Arthur Pendragon.

Story links: Read the story (with the art incorporated) at our stand-alone website or on AO3.

Title: A Pleasure to Serve
Author: Harlequin
Universe: Merlin
Characters featured: Merlin/Arthur/Guinevere (MAGic!)
Category, Word count: Short story; 4464 words
Rating: NC17
Summary: Guinevere knows that Arthur loves Merlin as well as his wife, and she has never forgotten that she was once in love with Merlin herself. It seems time to acknowledge all this in the most intimate ways.
Notes: This isn’t meant to be part of my series of fifth season episode codas, but draws on them as backstory. It is set somewhere around episode 510 The Kindness of Strangers.

I wrote this for

cecilegrey in response to her Merlin Winterfest wishlist… though I am afraid it might fill her prompts very narrowly. A humble offering, in any case, and with thanks to

glimmergirl for organising the fest!

You can find the fic on AO3 and on my own website.

Current Mood: horny

And I realise once more that I haven't been posting here about my episode codas... the last one of which I wrote last night after watching the final episode.

You can find the full series of fics here on AO3. To misappropriate a song, 'it is complete now, two ends of time are neatly tied'.

( Thoughts on the codas and the final ep... )

Thank you all for sharing this magical journey. Here's to it all long continuing. For the love of Camelot!

♥

P.S. The song is 'Tomorrow, Wendy' performed by Concrete Blonde, written by Andy Prieboy.

Current Mood: indescribable

Oops! Sorry. Just realised I haven't been posting each week about these little episode codas...

Author: Harlequin
Universe: Merlin
Characters featured: Merlin/Arthur
Category, Word count: PWP; 546 words
Rating: NC17
Summary: Merlin seeks to wordlessly remind Arthur of how deeply he is bound to his lover and his king.
Notes: Part of a series of episode codas that I hope will continue through the fifth season.
This is set during the episode, before the end when Merlin knew about Gwen.
Warnings: Spoilers for episode 507! Infidelity!

Title: Season 5: 04 A Good Man
Author: Harlequin
Universe: Merlin
Characters featured: Merlin/Arthur
Category, Word count: PWP; 896 words
Rating: NC17
Summary: Apparently Merlin has given Arthur something to think about.
Notes: Part of a series of episode codas that I hope will continue through the fifth season. Though I think the main problem at this point is that it's just not as challenging as I'd assumed it would be!
Warnings: Spoilers for episode 504! Infidelity!

Read it on my website, or on AO3.

Current Mood: tired

Title: Season 5: 03 Comfort
Author: Harlequin

Category, Word count: PWP; 721 words

Title: Season 5: 01 Other Talents
Author: Harlequin
Universe: Merlin
Characters featured: Merlin/Arthur
Category, Word count: PWP; 975 words
Rating: NC17
Summary: Merlin has cause to revive some old duties that he'd let lapse.
Notes: Remember how I wrote a short M/A slash fic after each episode through the second season? Well, I do like a challenge… so I thought I'd revive the practice for the fifth season. Heaven knows how long I'll last! But the thing I love about slash is that it can overcome any obstacle except the author's or reader's disinclination.
This fic draws on the second season fics for its backstory, though I don't think you'd need to go back and re-read them. (Though please do if you like!)
Warnings: Spoilers! Though little of enormous import. It's more personal than plot-related.
Also: Infidelity! As we know, Arthur's a happily married man now.

You can read the fic on AO3, or at my website.

P.S. While I'm here... I'm receiving a truly astonishing and flattering number of visitors to my old paperlegends fic, The Lusty Month of May. I am really delighted! But I am also curious. Has it been rec'ed somewhere...? I can't explain it, else!

Current Mood: excited
