Notes: Dear Readers, I have used flash-backs throughout this story - hopefully they're obvious but if not, please drop me a comment and I will see what I can do! All the dialogue between Arthur and Merlin before the epilogue is from Nympha_Alba's original story.
Dear Nympha_Alba, I was delighted to receive you as my remixee this year, and even more thrilled when I found Borderlands in your body of work. It's one of my all-time favourites but I hadn't been able to find it again so was delighted to see it. Once we've all de-anoned I can kudos, comment and bookmark it properly! I hope you enjoy what I've done - I had great fun with it as it was a bit of a puzzle to get it to flow. Thanks again for providing such an excellent story to remix. x

Summary: When Merlin finds himself trapped in a mysterious cottage with Arthur Pendragon, his memories surface even as he faces a new future.

Rating: Teen and up
Warnings: no warnings apply
Notes: Dear enkiduu. Your original story was so poetic and full of low key melancholy that it made me ache inside in the best possible way. I really didn't know how to do it justice... writing low key melancholy is not one of my strengths! But I just loved the idea that a mask can at once both hide and reveal, can enable someone to become a truer but hidden version of themselves. Which is how this rather light and fluffy magical modern-AU was born. I hope you like it!
To my fantastic and thorough and all round brilliant beta reader XXX! I am so grateful for your help; you asked all the right questions and helped me to make this a billion times better. I'll thank you properly after reveals.

Summary: While Merlin recovers from a punishing stage tour, performing as infamous live-magic sensation Dragoon the Great, he enjoys the relative anonymity of life in a small village. But when he falls head over heels for the gorgeous son of a local landowner, his magic starts playing tricks on him. Until finally, at the annual barn dance, he takes the opportunity to show Arthur who he really is...

Rating: T
Warnings: the occasional swearword, otherwise nothing
Summary: When Gwaine bumps into his ex at the pub where he's supposed to be meeting his boyfriend, it doesn't actually occur to him that he should probably a) warn Percival he's there with Merlin and b) warn Merlin he's just plain with Percival. In hindsight, it's pretty clear this is a mistake, but Percival has always been better at handling Gwaine's screw ups than he deserves.

Notes: Thanks so much to the amazing, talented Polomonkey for inspiring this work. I took her fluffy oneshot about garlic bread and Vampire Pride and turned it into an angsty coming of age story that spans ten years because that's how I roll, and I'm not even sorry. XD
Summary: Since he was bitten, Arthur had existed in the shadows, adrift and lonely. He didn't plan on getting involved with a human boy. He didn't set out to get a friend. And he certainly never expected that, somewhere down the road, he would do something crazy like fall in love.

Title: Rowan, Oak, and Rue (the Ruminations remix)

Remixee Name: mabyn_winters

Characters: Merlin, Arthur, Gaius
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: probably mildly NSFW
Notes: Each character has his own drabble, and thus his own panel in this triptych. The tree in Merlin's panel is a rowan, also known as a "witch tree." Arthur is shown under an oak, the tree of kings, and mistletoe which is associated with male fertility in druidic traditions. Gaius, who bends with the prevailing winds of politics in Camelot, is shown under willow trees and holding a sprig of rue by the light of the three phases of the moon that represent the Triple Goddess (Maiden, Mother, and Crone). Drawn in PS on a Mac with a Wacom Bamboo tablet. First PS art ever, woo! Go easy on me!
Summary: In which Merlin and Arthur each dream of the other, and Gaius drinks from the bitter cup of regret.
