It's So Much Fun To Read Fanfiction Right After Watching The Show. I Can Still Hear Dialog In Voiceactors

Chapter 8 of Podfic of Double Discovery by @dp-marvel94 is up!

This was such a great chapter, I'm so glad I got to podfic it ^^

Amazing! Thank you ^^

Hi! I just wanted to ask if the blanket permission for remixes in your ao3 profile also includes permission for podfics?

Yes, absolutely! I should probably make that clear on my AO3 profile lol.

Here's a spreadsheet for tracking golden needle tag offers for all your ctrl+c and ctrl+f needs. Let's fill all those offers!

🪡 The golden needle tag is now live!

We know how hard it is to browse EVERY auction, especially with over 1600 on offer this year. As we enter the last 30 hours of the auction, we’re opening up the ’golden needle’ tag.

This features all auctions that are looking for their first bidder - that could be you!

So take a look at what’s on offer, and if you haven’t put your first bid down yet, now is the time to get some golden needles in our very large haystack.

this dumb website is in need of some love, so reblog this if you like the person you reblogged it from!!!

Trick or treat?

The perfect Date (April 25th)

Let's spend this perfect Date by giving some under-appreciated fanworks some love and attention. And of course by submitting some of them to Comment Exchange. Today you can do that without having to proof you commented on something else. But of course I encourage you to do so anyways. Check out our masterlist for some inspiration.

The first day of Danny May is dragon... so here is my contribution

Dancing Dora 🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃

A slightly angsty Merthur fic idea/ mini fic where a magic reveal goes slightly wrong, and Merlin and Arthur are captured by bandits. Things are still raw between both of them—think of their interactions in Diamond of the Day—but they’re stuck together anyway. They’ll have to depend on each other to escape (they will, but angst first).

The bandits know that Merlin has magic and give him cold iron shackles so he can’t use it. Worse, their leader is bragging how much coin they’ll get if they hand over their new sorcerer (Merlin) to Cenred.

Merlin’s fate seems to be uncertain: even if he escapes with Arthur, Arthur could still have him arrested for magic. Or he could end up being forced to fight for Cenred. (I think it’s headcanon that known sorcerers are forced to serve Cenred in Essetir and that’s partially why Merlin had gone to Camelot in the first place.)

So, as soon as they’re alone (in a cell or tied to trees away from the bandit camp), Merlin asks Arthur to kill him. (He would rather die than serve Cenred, and he knows execution probably awaits him in Camelot anyway.)

Arthur is obviously horrified that Merlin would ask him to do that. He asks why.

Merlin doesn’t bring up that he doesn’t really see a way out of this for himself. But he answers honestly: he doesn’t want his magic to be used as a weapon. (Merlin feels no loyalty to Uther, but he has no wish to harm Camelot or anyone else. *cue Nobody’s Soldier by Hozier*)

His answer is what brings Arthur to look at him fully again—stranger and friend, sorcerer and servant. (Basically Arthur goes from not recognizing the Merlin he thought he knew, to realizing he’s the same fool he’s always known.)

They escape later, and there’s much for Arthur to relearn about his friend, but they work together to bring magic back
