It may has taken over 1000 years for Arthur to return to Merlin, but when he rose from the Lake of Avalon, it was to the most beautiful sunrise Merlin had ever seen. He might be biased on that one, though. Everything was brighter, more colourful, and simply better when Arthur was with him...

This is my entry for this years Merlin Reverse. Sadly the fanfic to go along with this was never finished, so nothing I can link you to, sorry. :(

Still, this fanart was a lot of work and I quite like the result! I didn’t post it sooner because, first, I hoped the story would still be finished, and then I got super busy and simply forgot about it. But it has been finished since May, and it is long overdue I finally share it, haha! xD

It's In Our Nature To Complicate by DarkWolfMoon / @salemsandstorm

Arthur Drake works for the Magical Investigation Bureau, tracking down and securing dangerous magical artifacts. At least, when he has a partner he does. After being forced to take a vacation for lack of work, he stumbles across a smuggling ring. Alone and unable to call for backup, Arthur is rescued by the strangest mage he has ever met. He isn't entirely sure where Merlin came from, but he's determined to find out. The only thing he knows for sure is that Merlin is making him second-guess everything he thought he ever knew about magic.

I had the amazing opportunity to participate in Merlin Reverse this year, the first fest I have ever been a part of. I was lucky enough to be partnered with the amazingly talented @eisbaerfusselart whose art is absolutely gorgeous and I hope this fic does it justice! I can’t wait to do more fests in the future, this was a blast!

A Passage to Italy 

Title: A Passage to Italy Artist: Merlocked18 Writer: ArcadianMaggie Pairings/Characters: Merlin/Arthur Rating: NC-17 Word Count: 51,102 Note: Written for the Merlin Reverse Bang Fest

Summary: College sweethearts while at Cambridge University, Merlin is in the Department of English studying the works of E.M. Forster. Arthur is studying economics, readying himself to take his place at Pendragon Holdings. After a bitter breakup, Arthur travels to Rome on business. When he isn't consumed with work, the setting invariably elicits thoughts of a happier time when he and Merlin were still together. Everywhere he looks, he sees Merlin, even in the faces of Bernini's angels on the Ponte Sant'Angelo. Are they truly over or can they somehow still find their happy ending?
