Teetering on the brink of bankruptcy, Patrick starts playing cards at gaming hells to make ends meet. So far, he's managing, but when he meets Lord Highleyton, London's favourite disgrace, things start to unravel at an alarming rate - until Patrick ends up betting the last thing he has to offer: himself. Pete just wants to help, but he soon finds he might be doing more harm than good.

We'd say this is a shameless Regency AU of the Mills and Boon variety, but the truth is we are very ashamed.

Love and Other Cliches

Rating: Unrated

Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings

Summary: Bob Bryar is the best witch in the whole damn scene, even if he does say so himself. Which is just as well, because he's got responsibilities, most of which involve his charge, Gerard. Mainly, Bob's supposed to keep Gerard from falling down a well, or losing his sketchpad - little things, but Bob is a conscientious guardian. But when it becomes obvious that Gerard and Frank are hopelessly, silently in love with each other, Bob suddenly has bigger things to worry about. Nothing he's tried has ended in the declarations of love he'd been aiming for (not the fireworks, not the sunsets, not even the four hours they'd spent in locked in a closet). In a last, ditch attempt, he resorts to real spellwork, the epic, Cinderella kind, and now Frank and Gerard are stuck in a romance novel... with only one way out.

Summary: Arthur's just had a bad break up - he just wants to drink himself into forgetfulness. He really didn't expect to drink himself into remembrance.

Comment: I liked that although Arthur didn’t remember Merlin, he trusted him extremely quickly. I liked that while Merlin is there to comfort Arthur and you can see how much he cares, you can also see how  it hurts him a little to hear about Arthur’s other relationships. A great mix of comfort and fluff.

FIRST for the writing meme prompt plz? *heart-eyes*

[er. first paragraph from next YoS segment - they’re not particularly enthralling sorry /o\]

The rest of the group is just sitting down to play when Patrick walks in, out of breath. "Sorry." He's clutching the pages with his poetry sample in one hand, hard enough to wrinkle them.
