Fic: Broken Trust
Remix for: argentsleeper
(Merlin/Arthur, 2358, T)
Summary: Arthur's fiancée Vivian finds out about his infidelity.

Fic: In Our Indifferent Century (a Missing Armour remix)
Remix for: leviathans_moon
(Gen, 860, G)
Summary: Merlin had already lived through all this war bullshit once- at least this time he has the benefit of being paid.

Fic: Brad
Remix for: doctoraicha
(Merlin/Arthur, 821, PG)
Summary: Of trains, rains, and a Brad in the rain and then on the train. The right train.

Fic: Hairless Rat Babies are Useless (the Peter Cottontail remix)
Remix for: aeris444
(Merlin/Arthur, 770, G)
Summary: Honestly, when it happened, he hadn’t been scared. He did not get scared, nor had he been surprised. He had merely been… taken off guard. And who could blame him, really? No one expected a giant hairless rat to suddenly attack them.

Art: If the Fates Allow (the Home for Christmas Remix)
Remix for: aharesbreath
(Merlin, G)
Summary: “Sire, the night is darker now - And the wind blows stronger - Fails my heart, I know not how. - I can go no longer.”

Fic: Future Penalties (The Late Fees Remix)
Remix for: hart_d
(Merlin/Arthur, 936, PG-13)
Summary: nowing Arthur Pendragon has never been so frustrating, until now. Or, Merlin’s side of things, picking up where Late Fees left off (Original fic does not need to be read first in order to understand the context of the fic. They are both miscible and stand alone.)

Fic: Morgana Le Fay's Cray Tittybuffet (The Second Best Fucking View Remix)
Remix for: malu_3
(Morgana/Mithian, Morgana/Morgause, Arthur/Morgana and Arthur/Merlin, 4222, NC-17)
Summary: When daddy's not home, Morgana invites her friends around to sunbathe topless and play in the pool. It is absolutely not about putting on a show for her half-brother, Arthur and the friends he brings home.

Fic: Speeding Cars (The Lightning Never Strikes Twice Remix)
Remix for: millionstar
(Merlin/Arthur, 10000, T)
Summary: “I got my miracle when you woke up, Arthur,” Merlin says, all his skin flayed away until he’s just muscles and bone and raw emotion on display. “I’m not stupid enough to think I deserve another one.”
(Despite what the doctors say, Arthur's coma is not permanent or persistent or whatever the heck else it could have been, and Merlin's grateful for that, more than he can possibly say, but just because Arthur's awake it doesn't mean they're going to live happily ever after)

Fic: A Welcome Distraction (The Scheming Royal Remix)
Remix for: wreckage
(Merlin/Arthur, 753, PG)
Summary: It should be no surprise to anyone (especially to Merlin) that Arthur is not exactly a morning person. What IS a surprise (especially to Merlin) is the new tactic that Arthur uses to stay in bed a while longer...

Fic: venture to be wise (the unvoiced need we carry inside remix)
Remix for: glim
(Arthur/Gwen/Merlin, 2100, T)
Summary: “Begin, be bold, and venture to be wise.” ― Horace

Fic: The Idiot and the Prat (The Writing and the Wall Remix)
Remix for: yesimafan
(Merlin/Arthur, 1932, PG)

Fic: Also, Here's My Address (The Between Me and You Remix)
Remix for: beccadearie
(Merlin, G)
Summary: It was the first day of Merlin’s last year at school—the year he’d been dreading for as long as he could remember. Arthur had left for uni, their inseparability now a matter of history. Everyone knew you never really stayed friends with people back at home, no matter how much you meant to.
Arthur had laughed that worry off—"Oh please, as if I could be rid of you that easily"—but losing Arthur may prove easier than Merlin even feared possible.

Art: Be My Mirror (the Shielded Sky remix)
Remix for: k_nightfox
(Emrys, Merlin, G)
Summary: In which I create an art remix of k_nightfox's gorgeous high fantasy style fic, "A Bright Blade in a Shielded Sky," by representing Merlin's relationship with his hitherto unknown twin, the new King of Ælfheim, Emrys.

Fic: Better Not Left to Chance (the Arthur's Choice Remix)
Remix for: skitz_phenom
(Merlin/Arthur, 3908, G)
Summary: Arthur had always thought that he and Merlin had drifted apart as a natural consequence of living lives burdened by heavy responsibility. However, as he's about to find out, that just might not be the case.

Fic: You're a Star That I Can See (the Space Pirates 3 & 5 Sentences Remix)
Remix for: nomical
(Gwen/Leon, 20590, M)
Summary: “With war coming to Camelot and threatening to not only spill over into the peaceful system of Albion, but the rest of the galaxy as well, Merlin is forced to activate a powerful techno-magic that will shift the whole of the system (and their enemy) out of time. Gwen and Leon know they're the only hope to rescue their fearless High King and his Grand Warlock, even if it means finding a lost planet that's little more than myth and legend. Of course, being on the run from Gwen's people on Odin V (since she did breach that whole betrothal contract) and continually ducking bounty hunters and mercenaries doesn't make the impossible task any easier, but they're bound and determined to do whatever it takes to get the job done.”

Fic: Blue Lines (Swotting)
Remix for: alby_mangroves
(Merlin/Arthur, 4605, NC-17)
Summary: Arthur can't understand poetry. Merlin helps him.
Remix of "Swotting" by Alby_mangroves, which was a Pornathon 2014 entry for this prompt: (503): He's helping me study for the final by writing the vocab words all over his body.

Fic: Ethereal (The Unlikely Soulmates Remix)
Remix for: zairaalbereo
(Merlin/Arthur,3500, T)
Summary: Arthur Pendragon is a high-class prostitute attending a charity gala on the arm of Nimueh McKinsey, fashion icon and owner of Nimueh Designs. He'd learned the hard way that hopes and dreams were to be avoided at all costs, as they inevitably led to pain and heartache. That is, until he meets Merlin.

Fic: Me without you
Remix for: blue_eyed_1987
(Merlin/Arthur, 1600, PG-13)
Summary: Sometimes six months can feel like six years

Art: Shut Up, Merlin
Remix for: The Community
(Merlin/Arthur, M)

Author Notes:
Dear Alby_mangroves! When I got my Remix assignment and I saw it was you, I was both delighted, because it's a huge privilege to be able to remix one of your works (art or fic), and VERY terrified, because nothing I could write will ever do you justice. The drawing I have chosen to remix is one of my favorites, and I hope you'll enjoy the little story it inspired.
I'd like to thank my pre-readers, but I'll do so properly when reveals are up.

Summary:
It was the first day of Merlin’s last year at school—the year he’d been dreading for as long as he could remember. Arthur had left for uni, their inseparability now a matter of history. Everyone knew you never really stayed friends with people back at home, no matter how much you meant to.
Arthur had laughed that worry off—"Oh please, as if I could be rid of you that easily"—but losing Arthur may prove easier than Merlin even feared possible.
Author Notes:
A/N: This fic elaborates on what happens in the time surrounding just two of the 13 notes (though I swear it was 14 at one point!) in the original fic, so it only "remixes" a small portion of it. Beccadearie's original covers many years in the boys' lives; this is just a few months. I wish I could have done it all, but what I most hope is that you, becca, are happy with what I've tried to do based on your incredible epistolary narrative!
Thank you so much to beccadearie for having so many amazing works for me to discover and choose from! Endless thanks and hugs to the people who helped me so much with beta'ing and Britpicking and cheerleading and support! Ye shall be named post-reveal!
Thanks to the mods, too, for doing this incredible service and keeping the remix alive!

Summary: “Begin, be bold, and venture to be wise.” ― Horace
Author Notes: So many thanks to the mods for their patience and understanding and for organizing Camelot Remix 2015! You are both the very best!
Dearest Glim! I knew almost immediately that this was the story I wanted to work with, and spent pretty much the rest of the allotted remix time struggling to feel like I'd lived up to its gentleness and poignance. It took me too long to really grasp the theme of loss underpinning your fic, but when I finally did it helped me realize that my remix is an attempt at the inverse - the three of them finding each other. I truly hope you like it!

Title: Speeding Cars (The Lightning Never Strikes Twice Remix)

Pairings: Merlin/Arthur, background Gwen/Lancelot
Length: 10k (ish)
Warnings: Angst, amnesia, a smattering of bad language
Summary: “I got my miracle when you woke up, Arthur,” Merlin says, all his skin flayed away until he’s just muscles and bone and raw emotion on display. “I’m not stupid enough to think I deserve another one.”
(Despite what the doctors say, Arthur's coma is not permanent or persistent or whatever the heck else it could have been, and Merlin's grateful for that, more than he can possibly say, but just because Arthur's awake it doesn't mean they're going to live happily ever after)
Author Notes: So after spending over a week reading and rereading all of millionstar's works, I settled on this one and wrote part one of this in the space of one rainy Saturday. Then, because why write a thousand words when you can write ten times that, I spent every minute since then angsting over part two.
Thanks to the mods for keeping this going long enough for me to find the guts to sign up, and to the girls (you know who you are) for all the many reassurances they've offered me since I started writing this fic.

Author Notes: hart, I apologize because it seems that I am only capable of remixing fluffy things into heart wrenching things. I hope you can forgive me.
