Rating: G
Warnings: None
Summary: They move in synchrony, feet hitting the ground on the same beats, Merlin's grip on his hands tight, but Arthur wouldn't dare to let go even if he could. His gaze is as reluctant to leave Merlin's face, his wide smile, the glint in his eyes as they move as one across the clearing. The winter night felt cold when Merlin had dragged him into the dance, but right now Arthur feels like he could burn through until dawn.

Pairings: Balinor/Hunith, Merlin & Hunith
Length: 5,482 words
Rating: Teen and Up
Warnings: No AO3 warnings apply. Minor character death, mentioned.
Notes: OnceFutureEmrys, once I received my remix assignment, I was spoiled for choice- so many amazing works to remix! But "I’ll Hold You Close [And Never Let You Go]" drew me right in. There was angst, in spades, which I loved, but Merlin also got to tell Hunith about Balinor, break down in front of his mother, and finally get that hug he really deserved, all of which hit tons of buttons for me. And all those subtle details spread out through the story-all of Hunith's subtle emotions, and the nods towards things that happened as Merlin was growing up-had me itching to imagine a back-story to it all.
It's my first time participating in a remix fest of any sort, and I truly hope that I haven't taken too many liberties with the original! Here's to the hope that I've managed to do OnceFutureEmrys' wonderful work justice, in the end. :)
Summary: It is not the first time Hunith has had to send a loved one away. Death, choice, banishment; parent, husband, son. She has seen it all, tasted all the bitterness life had to offer. Or so she thought.
It is never easy, coming to terms with death. But, for Merlin, there is nothing she would not do.

Or: that fic where Merlin finally tells his mother about Balinor.

Notes: Dear Cookie, As soon as I read this fic, I knew I had to draw something for it. There are so many lovely, tender moments between Merlin and Arthur to choose from, and it took me the better part of a couple of months to finally settle on this one—I hope you like it! With many thanks to the mods for organising this fest once again! ❤️
Summary:
There was silence for a moment. “Everything I have is yours, Arthur, I swear it.”

“I know - destiny, duty and love, Merlin. I know.”

They rode in silence for a time before Arthur spoke again. “You need to know. Everything I have is yours.”

Merlin smiled up at him and all Arthur needed to know was there in his eyes.

Warnings: none
Notes: Dear Linorien, I really enjoyed reading your works! Thank you for the opportunity to build on them. New Growth in particular is one of my favorites. I started with it because you mentioned it as your starred work and I returned to it over and over again. I was captivated by the idea of Gwaine as Steward of the land. I hope you enjoy this expansion on your fic!
Thank you to madderty for the encouragement. Thank you to the mods for organizing the event.
Summary: Gwaine takes his promise as Steward of the land very seriously, as seriously as he guards his friendship with Merlin and his oath to Camelot. He fights for Merlin and the land until the very end.

And at the end, the land is there for him.

Length: n/a
Rating: G
Warnings: pining, mom being schmoopy
Notes: I had an embarrassment of riches to choose from, but settled on this for the emotional heart of it. I wanted to show what Merlin saw, either just before or after that deep hug; the face of his mum, shining with her love and concern for him.
Summary: Hunith, knowing when to hold her child close in his grief, and when to let go.
