MERLIN BINGO MASTERLIST

Wow! When I got my card in February I thought I would fill out 1 or 2 prompts, max. Anyway, I ended up with 13 fills (11 of which were fic) and 3 bingoes!

Thank you so much to the Mods at @merlinbingo for all their hard work and the effort they put into running this event- no one could do it better!! It was so fun and I can’t wait until next year!

Anyway, my fills are all posted below the cut! If any pique your interest, I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I did writing them!

TheFollow-Spot's Merlin Bingo 2022 Masterpost

I completed four fills and zero bingos due to my abysmal lack of square planning lmao!

Regardless, I had a lot of fun with this event by @merlinbingo, and am particularly proud of my Mordred fill (which I believe has the least reads, go figure). Here are all the fics I posted for Merlin Bingo 2022, including the NSFW fic (under the cut) which I posted to my alt AO3. If you are looking at my NSFW fic and know me IRL, uh, no you don't!

A Rising Sky | (G2, Non-Sexual Intimacy) Relationship(s): Merlin & Arthur Pendragon Rating: G Tags: Canon Divergence - Episode: s05e13 The Diamond of the Day, Arthur Pendragon Lives, One Shot, No Plot/Plotless, Non-Sexual Intimacy, Canon-Typical Homoeroticism Summary: "Arthur’s hair was cooling-wet: a combination of sweat, the morning air, and the lake water. Merlin reached out a shaking hand and brushed it off Arthur’s forehead with his thumb. His touch was like every one before it." | Finale AU; Arthur lives. Canon-typical homoeroticism ensues.

⭐ Hooded Vagrants | (A5, Mordred) Relationship(s): Mordred vs. Original Male Characters Rating: T Tags: Pre-Canon, BAMF Mordred, Character Study, Short Fiction Style, Dark Past, Canon-Typical Violence, Mordred-centric, One Shot Summary: Ever since his father died, Mordred has been running. He has been hunted. The world is a turbulent ocean and he’s been tossed about in it.

Perhaps (Dawn) | (M2, Merlin/Lancelot) Relationship(s): Lancelot/Merlin Rating: G Tags: Courtly Love, Queer Courtly Love, merlin deserves to be happy, Established Relationship, Secret Relationship, Fluff, Fluff without Plot, Tenderness, Romance, One Shot, Canon Era, Lancelot Lives, Intimacy Summary:“I wish I could marry you, my love,” Lancelot says. | It's dawn, they wake together. Literally just 1,300 words of tender, plotless Mercelot fluff.

Lampblack Consequences | (I2, Humping) Relationship(s): Merlin/Arthur Pendragon Rating: E Tags: PWP, Sub Merlin, Cock Cages, Bondage, Orgasm Control, Anal Sex, Canon Era, Spanking, Consensual Sex, Dubious Safety, Begging, Top Arthur Pendragon, Dom Arthur Pendragon, Dry Humping, Desperation Summary: Of all the ways he’s tried to punish Merlin, this seems to be the only one that gets him to know his place.

[ransomnoteworthy]

This was my 2nd year participating in Merlin Bingo, and this year...I got a Bingo! 

So here’s the list of my 5 modern/no magic Merlin/Arthur bingo fics beneath the cut! 

Rumor Has It  [Merlin/Arthur | T | 6k] I1:  Pornstar AU  | Modern/No Magic | Misunderstandings, Coming Out, College/University

Arthur hasn't met all of Morgana's new friends at college, but he's especially suspicious about this new guy he's heard is dating Gwen.

That's nothing a few conversations can't clear up— or make much more complicated.

After talk of OnlyFans accounts, and discussions 'through the closet door,' how will it all shake out?

Message Not Received  [Merlin/Arthur | T | 8k] I2:  Bedside Vigil | Modern/No Magic | Feelings Realization, Accidental Baby Acquisition, Angst with a Happy Ending

Hospital coworkers Arthur and Merlin are best friends now, however that happened, and nothing can come between them: Except maybe a car accident, a coma, and a whole bunch of uncovered secrets and realizations.

Order Up 

[Merlin/Arthur | G | 1.8k] I3:  Flirting | Modern/No Magic | Coffee Shops & Cafés, Flirting, Oblivious

Merlin's new at the coffee shop, Arthur's new at feeling out of his depth, and Gwen's an old hand at dealing with aggravating people, customers and coworkers alike.

 Edge of Our Seats  [Merlin/Arthur | T | 1.5k] I4:  Confession in a desperate situation | Modern/No Magic | Near-Death Experiences

Bandmates Merlin and Arthur have had a million conversations over the years, but there's a few things they never had the time or the nerve to say to each other. A near-death experience is as good a time as any to finally say what they mean.

Adaptation    [Merlin/Arthur | G | 1.5k] I5:  Bookstore AU | Modern/No Magic | Awkward Flirting, Books

Working at the bookstore can be boring at times, but Merlin and Gwen have a fit new customer keeping them distracted.

Is he there for the books? Is he there for one of them? Is he a figment of their imagination? The owner, Gaius, doesn’t actually care, but he suggests a staff favorites board at the till, because if their new favorite customer repeatedly buys one person’s recommendations, well, maybe it’s a sign of affection and shared interests? And either way, at least then they’ll “be making sales, people, get back to work already!”

MERLIN BINGO 2022

@merlinbingo prompt: clumsy merlin

[earlgreyinpajamas]

Any more love spell or fake dating fic recs for merthur? :)

love spell

Kiss Me Now (Kiss Me Forever) by pendragonally (@pendragon-ally)

When is a love spell not a love spell? When it’s just Arthur trying (and failing) to express his feelings— not that Merlin knows this, of course. Figuring it out leads to more than one revelation.

~~~

technically not a love spell fic, but also,, like merlin i was also firmly on the oh yeah he's enchanted camp dhfadjlhk so im counting it

2. Book Of Love by messandahalf (@messandahalf10)

Arthur has just lifted the ban on magic, and despite having Merlin around to answer his questions, he decides to try to do some research on his own. Books on magic are scarce in the castle, so he digs around in the library alone one night. What he ends up reading has some… interesting consequences.

~~~

love spell makes arthur obsess over his true love. hmmm wonder who that is

3. Call It True Love by orphan_account

Arthur falls under the effects of a love potion. Merlin has a headache.

~~~

adfhjkhfd poor lancelot

fake relationship

I Want Love, I Want Us, I Want Peace by InkThroughHerVeins (@ink-through-her-veins)

The Queens of Albion throw a ball every year for noble families to introduce their eligible sons and daughters. Except Camelot doesn’t officially have a queen. So, Arthur makes Merlin help with the planning.

Written for Merthur Week 2022. Each chapter uses one day’s prompts.

~~~

merlin being queen before even being queen!!!

2. For You, For Me by Camelots_Daffodil (@camelots-daffodil)

Merlin and Arthur are taken captive by a slaver with slightly deranged tendencies, and in order to save Merlin's life, Arthur claims that he is his consort. Their captor decides he wants to test the strength of Arthur's love for his supposed consort.

Written for Merlin Bingo 2022: Misunderstandings

~~~

fake relationship for a cause!!

3. Charting Stars On A Stained Glass Ceiling by mornmeril (@mornmeril)

Merlin leads a relatively content life - or as content as is possible under the rule of a magic-hating King. When the arrogant son of said magic-hating King starts becoming a regular at his coffee shop, Merlin is a little puzzled. When said Prince prat then proceeds to ingest a love potion on Merlin's watch that results in him having to move into the Royal Palace as Prince Arthur's (fake) boyfriend, Merlin wonders which deity he has angered. Things only get more complicated from there.

“Welcome to The Drip and Grind, what can I get for you?" “The same thing I always have,” Prince Arthur says, sounding vaguely disdainful and unbearably posh. “One would think you’d remember my order by now." Merlin scowls. He remembers His Haughtiness’ order perfectly well, but sees no reason to inflate an already unbearably large ego. “You’re not my only customer,” Merlin keeps his voice coolly polite; barely. “You realise that’s not the proper way to address me?” And is that a smirk at the corner of the stupid prat’s, stupidly gorgeous mouth? “Apologies, your High-and-Mightiness. Now do you think you can tell me your order or must I divine it from my crystal ball?”

Fanfiction Writer Bingo!

Tagged by @shadowquill17, thank you so much!! Getting tagged in ALL the tag games it seems today lol

(Question marks because idk that I’ve fully BETA’ed for anyone before, but I have been a second pair of eyes for stuff pretty often and given feedback? So maybe? Then question mark on wanting to be a professional writer because man idk. Maybe?)

Fandoms I write for: right now it’s pretty much just Dead Boy Detectives, but I’ve also written/may write again for Teen Wolf, BBC Merlin, and The Sandman! Honorable mention to the one random Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance fic I posted in the middle of watching the show in 2022.

Tagging: @babyseraphim (one I can tag you in finally!!), @blusandbirds, @edwinspaynes, @deadtwinksdetectiveagency, and anyone else who wants to do this!

I can't wait to see what next year has in store because I am sure I won't remember a lot of what I have queued up for us all.

If you would like to draw my attention to any posts your create. feel free to tag me #usernae.

I want to say thank you to my fellow content creators that make this site such a joy to be on, and be in awe of. You are all crazy talented and I am always surprised by the style, concepts, and skill so many of you display.

But mostly, thank you for all the time you put into making these creations - I want to acknowledge the effort and resources put into this kind of fan art and content creation.

Theme for week 1: Favourite Merlin Bingo Fill 2023!

If you want to make sure you never miss a FF rec, or would like to participate and share your own favourites; join us on the Discord TheMerlinLibrary! Happy reading!

About the FF round-up lists:

Recs are listed in the order they were posted on the Discord; the order does not imply any sort of ranking.

The pairing given in this list is the main pairing of each respective fic – please read the tags for any possible minor or side-pairings, as well as any potential warnings or triggers.

Pairings and Eras are given as tagged in each respective fic. (?) signifies that the tags were unclear and I do not know enough about the fic to fill the gaps.

Round-ups are compiled on the weekend of the week after the respective theme of the post (when the new theme has already been anounced), to avoid omitting potentially belated FF recs.

The weekly round-up is not a guarantee! I'm running this alone, so it can only be posted for weeks when I have enough time on my hands to compile a list. If you'd like to help out, feel free to contact me on Tumblr ( @zaharya ) or Discord. Thanks to @ravenwilds for helping me out with these round-ups, and to Chel for making a whole-ass bot to make it easier!

Gayble 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶

Failed to get a bingo but had a grand time with the Merlin bingo fest 🤣

Participated in a DTIYS and had so much fun with it!!!

Grieved with yall about the 10th anniversary of the finale: we were mourning but we were mourning together 😭❤️

A little word to people who have made my 2022 memorable under the cut (in no particular order)

@lauradonnelly : My beloved tas, I can't stress how lovely and important you were to me. I'm not a great conversationalist and I felt bad that our conversations were not great as I was also very shy and not good at keeping a conversation flowing. But that you took the effort to welcome me when I joined tumblr, to dm me and send me messages!! Even though you were so busy with your irl things!!! I wouldn't have so much fun making and keeping a tumblr if it weren't for you. Thank you!!!! <3

@coffee-writes : Cofffeeeeeee 😭❤️😭❤️😭 Words fail me to even begin to unpack how grateful I am to you and how amazing and wonderful you are!!!! I hit the lowest of my lows this year and each time you were there to gently cradle me and hold me as to not let myself fall apart, despite your own struggles!! I'm also so glad that you joined me in the bbc merlin fandom and that we could share an unhinged love for it!!! 🤣💛 I love you so much, thank you!!!!

@insane-ohwhyfandoms : Fyre 🥺💖 Thank you for taking notice of me in sprinter-bot channel, I don't think I'd have have succeeded to make friends in mfbc if it weren't for you welcoming me so warmly!!!! Even now, I feel so blessed that I have such a wonderful close friend in you. I couldn't have foreseen this and each time i think of it, I have this silly smile on my face at the thought. Thank you for you! <3

@glaftwlet : Hi dear!! You didn't know this but to me, you were one of the first to call me by name in the merlin fandom and it made me go "oh my god people know me? people remember me???". It was at a moment in my life where I felt very lonely and I really needed it. I can't explain how giddy and excited i was for the whole day, knowing that someone were aware and took notice of me. It may have been inconsequential to you but it meant everything to me. so thank you <3

@arthursknight : Cee!! Love of my life, light of my days, I could not imagine a world where I wouldn't have the honor and the pleasure of meeting you. I'm so so so glad that you sent me that friendship shot. Your love and gentle comprehension really helped me back in the summer this year. I'm so so so so lucky that the universe let us cross our paths and that I got to know you. (Also you're the hottest person alive so xxxxx 😘💖)

@aemelia : I know we joke around but truly i admire your passion and commitment to The Book of Merthur. You're one of the funniest, sassiest of the people i know on here and i love receiving your messages and partake in the salt you spread. It makes my life more fun! 🤣💖

@excited-insomniac : Hi sophie 🫶 You're one of my favorite authors of ALL TIME and frankly I do NOT get why you're not more famous in the fandom. Everything you write is incredible!!!! And I'm incredibly honoured and flabbergasted that we've been talking, and becoming friends!!!! Like!!!!!!!! aaaaaaa 🫶🫶🫶🥺💛💛💛

@aithusar : Hi Loaf!! 🥰 Honestly i half-fell out of my chair when I noticed that you followed me. You're such a cool person and that you regularly rb and leave incredible tags make me blush each time!!!! It's like knowing someone is a Taste Haver and then they like your bullshit???? Like holy fuck perhaps I am doing something right. Additionally, i was stupid, ignorant even, about the beauty and importance of gifs. and then i saw the light (your gifs) and holy fuck 🛐🛐🛐 i was Changed after that.

@burglarhobbit : Liz 🥺💛!!!!!!! My love!!! You're legit one of my favs!!! (favorite person, favorite writer, favorite reason to stay awake, you name it). I'm so happy that 2022 brought you to me and I couldn't be happier and luckier that we've become friends. 😭💕🫶

@mykingdomcomeundone : Honestly we have not talked much but seeing you in my notifs was always a daily highlight. You were my "blorbo from my dash" 🤣💖 Thank you for making me smile!!!

@nextstopparis Hi Roya 🫶 I'm but a humble admirer of you. You have the best tags, your takes are all right, and your edits kill me inside but they fuel me at the same time. I wish you the best new year that you possible can have, despite everything and all life circumstances that there may be. 💕

@queerofthedagger hi love 💕One of my highlights this year was seeing that you followed me! To say that I was "immensely flattered" is an understatement. 😭🫶🫶🫶 I'm so honoured to be moots with you and each time i see that you rb something from me or even tag it "prev" i die inside a bit (of happiness 🫶). Happy new year and thank you for the love!!!! 😭💕💕💕🥰

do you have anymore love spell/potion recs? it's such a great trope!

The Kissing Fever by Camelots_Daffodil (@camelots-daffodil)

It's spring time in Camelot and you know what that means... love is in the air! Only Merlin thinks that there might be a little too much of it when everyone in the land seems to be unable to stop themselves from kissing whoever is closest. As usual, it's up to him to fix the magical issue before anyone can realise that there's a magical issue in need of fixing.

2. Not Just a Kiss by Sorceressofdragons

Though Arthur hadn’t felt it, time had passed while he’d been with the Sidhe after Camlaan. When he returned to Camelot, fully healed and with Merlin at his side, it was to find Gwen remarried and with a family. He grieved but stepped aside, only wanting his one-time queen and love to be happy.

Several years later, he and Merlin are bespelled by a dying witch, who insists they are both fools. They soon learn that if they don’t kiss every few hours, they are stricken with a severe illness. Knowing it will put the crown at risk, they keep it secret from all but a select few and quietly adjust their lives around it. Soon it becomes apparent that there is only one cure for the spell, but Arthur has long since come to terms with his unrequited love for his manservant and is afraid of all that will change if they go through with it.

ok not necessarily a love spell, but a you have to smooch spell, which equally slaps just as hard

3. does he know? by a_written_dream (@a-written-dream)

Merlin and Arthur encounter a sorceress with less than good intentions in the forest. Her scheme doesn’t go quite according to plan, though, and Merlin is pretty sure Arthur is now enchanted to be in love with him.

So why isn't Arthur acting any different?

ahhh so fluffyyyyy and cuteee
