We're a month into round three, and oh wow have you all hit the ground running! We've already got an amazing 122 participants, 44 of whom shared a whopping 90 fills in February! As ever, there's someone out there determined to skew the curve completely, having already filled over half their card in just 28 freaking days!

Last month you created fills including fic (63), art (16), gifs (6), art that is a gif (2), fanvids (2) and a lovely fic + art combo as well.

Merlin/Arthur are once again top of the ship list (45), but we've also had a fair few people claiming the bonus badge for either a gen work (30) or one of eleven different rarepairs! Remember, you've got until the end of March to claim the gen/rarepair bonus badge, so if there's a rarepair you've been itching to create something for or a gen dynamic you really want to see more of, now is your chance!

And now, on to the thing you actually want to see: the round up! As per usual, fills are sorted by ship and then by rating and hidden below the cut, and we look forward to seeing everything you create next!

To facilitate their latest round of assassination attempts, they perform an experimental spell that splinters Arthur’s consciousness, scattering the pieces across parallel universes—because surely Emrys can’t protect all the pieces at once, right? (Wrong.) As always, Merlin will do whatever it takes to gather up the pieces and bring Arthur home again. And maybe, just maybe, Arthur will put some pieces together, too. Or: In which the author attempts to piece all 24 bingo prompts into a single plot line.

with these tender hands (love me gently) by Imagined Rating: Teen Warnings: No archive warnings apply Major tags: Merlin's Magic Revealed, Protective Lancelot, Friends to Lovers Summary: It’s not that Lancelot thinks he’s entitled to anything. It’s not even that it burns to watch the two people he loves most revolve around a man he highly respects.

It’s just that he thinks Merlin deserves better, sometimes.

He’s tired of being afraid, of always always waiting for the shoe to drop. He’s tired of always hiding himself from Merlin, of trying to be the person he thinks Merlin wants him to be—the person he thinks Merlin would like best. He’s tired of restraining himself. He’s tired of constantly burying the things he wants in fear that it will push Merlin away.

To long and to yearn by feuxx Rating: Teen Warnings: No archive warnings apply Major tags: Summary:

That Burning Torch of Kingship by Imagined Rating: Teen Warnings: No archive warnings apply Major tags: Insomnia, Temporary Character Death, Canon Era Summary: He always wakes up with his heart pounding out of his chest in the middle of the night, when he has the dreams, and loathes his father more than anything when he does. He only recalls a flash of midnight blue eyes; perfectly arched lips that could tilt into a disrespectful grin; unblemished pale hands that touched, touched, touched. But at least he remembers on those days, even if the dreams fade. All Arthur is left with is this crushing sense of loss and the cursive glances of the court; they all whisper of the prince who loved a sorcerer so much that the king resorted to magic to make him forget. The heresy. The hypocrisy. The burning shame; Arthur is the one who can still meet his father’s gaze and his father is the one who drops his own. This is not the king that Arthur will be.

Justice Shall Be Delivered by lavender_spice Rating: Teen Warnings: Major character death Major tags: execution, uther pov, unhappy ending Summary: Uther Pendragon will not tolerate a sorcerer in the heart of Camelot.

The First Kiss, And The Last by royal_spud Rating: Teen Warnings: No archive warnings apply Major tags: canon era, angst, love potion, drabble, heartbreak Summary: It came like a dream and swept him in a wave of fantastical brilliance. It stitched his heart into a tapestry of love and happiness and everything that he had once deemed too good to be true in the life of a warlock living in the midst of his hunters. Yet he kissed him still, when the moment arose, unbidden, one night. But what is a love story couldn't last a hundred words, than a tragedy in itself?

If I Had My Druthers by TheManTheMythTheLazy Rating: Teen Warnings: Choose not to use archive warnings Major tags: Alternate Universe - Reincarnation, 5+1, Merlin Is A Little Shit, Merlin Is So Done, Oops I got some angst in my crackfic Summary: 5 times Arthur walks out of Avalon at the wrong time + the 1 time he gets it right

A Heart Like Yours by Camelots-Daffodil Rating: Teen Warnings: Choose not to use archive warnings Major tags: Drowning, pining, protective Merlin, knight quest, mild hurt/comfort Summary: King aren't supposed to be afraid, they're not supposed to have fears. But Arthur Pendragon is afraid of the water, and that's not all he fears, either. When his worse fear comes to life while out on a quest, he's lucky to be surrounded by people who love him, through and despite it all.

Like-Hate-Love by Imagined Rating: Teen Warnings: No archive warnings apply Major tags: Social Media AU, Getting Together, Humor, Enemies to Friends to Lovers Summary: When Arthur drunkenly kisses a stranger at a party, he doesn’t expect to ever really see him again. That is, until two years later, when he accidentally likes a picture on Instagram and somehow starts an online rivalry with him. Or: In which Arthur is a bit of a prat (and, worse: a prescriptivist), Merlin has no issues at all calling him out on it, Morgana is the world's least-sympathetic sister, and Uther is no help whatsoever.

Homewrecker With A Heart Of Gold by lavender_spice Rating: Mature Warnings: No archive warnings apply Major tags: infidelity, fluff, banter, modern au Summary: A private moment between two people who were never supposed to fall in love.

and you held me tightly ('til the morning) by Imagined Rating: Mature Warnings: No archive warnings apply Major tags: Druid Leader Merlin, Arranged Marriage, Mutual Pining, Demisexual Arthur Pendragon, Secret Identity Summary: Merlin ducks forward, grabbing Arthur’s hands. His are cool and soft, and Arthur is surprised by the feel of Merlin’s palm over his own rough knuckles. “Arthur,” he says pointedly. “I know my duty, and I don’t need you to remind me. Are you always like this?” “Like what?” “Annoying,” Merlin says, and leans back, appraising him more thoughtfully than his tone suggests. “So concerned with your honour.” Or: Arthur must marry Lord Emrys for a year to create an alliance between their people. Except it isn't Emrys who comes to marry him, but the young druid Merlin, who soon turns all of Camelot upside down—and Arthur with it.

Flare up by TyalanganD Rating: Mature Warnings: No archive warnings apply, self-harm references Major tags: Modern setting, angst and hurt/comfort, scars, insecurity Summary: Merlin almost wants to do this.

Nothing, Something, Everything- Chapter 01: At first, Nothing Happened by royal_spud Rating: Mature Warnings: Graphic depictions of violence, minor character death, mild or implied sexual content, bad attempts at humor Major tags: Alternate universe- modern with magic, crime and criminals, borderline psychopathic Merthur, violence, plot twists Summary: Ever since Arthur came back from the war, all he had known was war flashbacks, forced therapy and immense boredom. And with a therapist breathing down his neck, forcing him to write a blog about his experiences "just as an exercise", and practically having nothing to write about, Arthur found that the idea of putting a bullet through his head had never felt so compelling. But one day, when a long lost friend introduces him to a deranged stranger with the concentration of a fruit fly and a strange obsession with magic and crime, Arthur is thrown to the dead center of a magical adventure, completed with talking skulls, strange land ladies, serial murders, assassins and all too friendly neighbors who insist on the two of them being a couple. Secrets come out. Trust is broken, worst enemies killed and best friends betrayed... and for someone who had complained about nothing happening to him, Arthur thinks that all that happens to him all at once is a perfectly adequate compensation.

Destiny Continued Continues by chaosgenes Rating: Explicit Warnings: No archive warnings apply Major tags: Smut, Post-canon AU, Modern Era, Fluff, Slow Dancing Summary: Sequel to "Destiny Continued."

Not Even My Own Kin by SauraUnderscore Rating: Explicit Warnings: Wounds, Blood Major tags: Wounded Arthur, Wounds, Blood, Morally Grey Merlin, Based in Art Summary: Arthur falls mortally wounded by a magical beast attack he shouldn’t have faced. Merlin’s magic lashes out to protect him.

He would have to do something about it, something that Arthur might object to, but Uther would do what he must. For Camelot and the Pendragon legacy.

the sola noche tango by insane-ohwhyfandoms Rating: Explicit Warnings: No archive warnings apply Major tags: modern au, dancing, explicit sexual content Summary: Arthur just wants to spend a quiet night moping with his friends, but unexpectedly, they're in the middle of hosting one of their parties.

True Love by SauraUnderscore Rating: Explicit Warnings: No archive warnings apply Major tags: A/B/O Dynamics; Angst; Angst with a happy ending; Forced Infidelity; No Actual Infidelity Happens; Explicit Rough Sex; Mpreg; Summary: Merlin was sure that after bonding with his Soul Mate his body would stop misbehaving. But it hadn’t. It’s been two years and it’s obvious by now that he can’t give Arthur an heir. Hence, the Pendragon Clan has come up with a solution: give Arthur another Omega to breed.

And a Resolution for the New Year by Sage_Owl Rating: Explicit Warnings: No archive warnings apply Major tags: Reincarnation, The Isle of the Blessed, Dreams & Nightmares, Modern Setting, Happy Ending Summary: Merlin, Arthur, Morgana and Gwen finally figure out what's been happening to them since Halloween.

Pet by lairofthedragon Rating: Explicit Warnings: Rape/non-con Major tags: Modern Era, Master/Pet, Collars, Spanking, Punishment Summary: Good boy, Arthur says, resting his hand atop Merlin's head. He cards his fingers through Merlin's hair for a moment, before tugging on it, forcing him to look up. "I'm very pleased with you," he says, smiling again as Merlin's tense muscles relax upon hearing the praise. "But you did wake me, and I believe that I deserve some sort of recompense."

Pride by s0mmerspr0ssen Rating: Explicit Warnings: No archive warnings apply Major tags: Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Top Merlin, Bottom Arthur, BDSM, Dom/sub Summary: Emrys might not have been the dom Arthur had expected, but it turns out he is exactly the dom he needs.

For Life by SauraUnderscore Rating: Explicit Warnings: No archive warnings apply Major tags: Modern-AU; Tattoos; Scars; PTSD-Merlin; Doctor Merlin; Cat Aithusa; Explicit Sex; Summary: Arthur’s new neighbour is a mystery. The guy keeps odd hours and he seems to be fully covered in intricate tattoos. He’s extremely handsome, too, despite not being the kind of guy Arthur would ever go for, plus their incredibly terrible start. An incident in the building would uncover Merlin’s secrets and he’ll turn out to be absolutely irresistible to Arthur.

Fog by s0mmerspr0ssen Rating: Explicit Warnings: No archive warnings apply Major tags: Alternate Universe - Modern Setting,, Dom Merlin (Merlin), Sub Arthur Pendragon (Merlin), BDSM, Dom/sub Summary: Arthur’s second session with Emrys gets off to a rocky start, but Emrys is nothing if not professional.

So Arthur is Merlin’s trophy husband instead. Does it look complicated? No. It’s really simple.

Nailed by Ravenwilds Rating: Explicit Warnings: No archive warnings apply Major tags: smut, mirror sex, dirty talk, guys wearing nail polish Summary: Merlin just isn’t the kind of person who likes being pampered: it’s not that he thinks all men who have a skincare routine are automatically self-absorbed prats (though Arthur is definitely one, concrete example of that!) - but it’s not for him. Or ... Merlin and Arthur get their nails painted and then have sexy times in front of a mirror.

Unconventional by SauraUnderscore Rating: Explicit Warnings: Dub-con Major tags: A/B/O non-traditional dynamics, dubious consent, explicit sex, rough sex, alpha rut, Omega heat, Summary: Arthur is about to go into rut, and although he’d love to mate with Merlin in his time of need, he would never do something against Merlin’s wishes. He is the leading Alpha, he has duties; but Merlin simply doesn’t want to be depending on his Omega biology. Stopping his suppressors, bonding for life and playing housewife for Arthur is something Merlin is not sure he can do.
