Merlin Big Bang 2011 Masterpost
Title: Paroniria
Author: arirawrs
Artist: iichristinll
Pairings/characters: Merlin/Arthur, Merlin/Gwaine, Arthur/Gwen, Gwen/Lancelot, with Morgana, Morgause and slight Merlin/Mordred.
Rating: R (for language and graphic violent themes)
Word Count: ~ 47, 300
Warnings: Scenes of blood and gore, torture, poisoning, angst, character death, depression with slight suicidal themes.
Summary: Future!Fic. Uther’s time has come and passed and now it’s the reign of King Arthur. Merlin is officially the Court Magician and can use his magic freely in the streets (and he can finally save Arthur’s royal behind without the fear of being burned at the stake, a definite plus). The people of Albion fall in love with Arthur, as he falls in love Gwen and she continues to hold her flame for Lancelot. All the while, Merlin is hurting, feeling the pain of his unrequited love for Arthur. Sleep evades him and he uses magic in an attempt to drive his insomnia away, but it only make things worse. Horrible nightmares plague him, his memories, for Merlin can no longer simply dream. Merlin pines for his king, Gwaine tries to save Merlin from himself, and all the while Morgana, Mordred, and Morgause plot Merlin’s demise. Trying to escape the living nightmare he’s found himself in, Merlin secretly leaves Camelot (with only his white mouse Sebille for company) to confront Morgana and save the world, but things don’t go according to plan. Arthur finds out he’s left and follows him, catching up with him on the way. Their adventure helps Merlin and Arthur rediscover their friendship and their loyalty to one another. Merlin tries to save Arthur, as Arthur tries to save Merlin; and they’re both as stubborn as always. Can they save each other without destroying them all?
Disclaimer: I do not own Merlin or any of the characters no matter how much I might wish I do. I'm simply borrowing them and playing matchmaker. This story is written solely for my enjoyment as well as my fellow Merlin fans.

Notes: There are not enough words in the entire world to fully convey how much you have done for me and this fic,iichristinll . You have beta'd, cheer-leaded, and even drew gorgeous art for this! You have stuck with me even when others haven't, and finally, finally, here it is. It's done. I cannot thank you enough babe. Thanks to everyone over on Tumblr who've supported me and my writing ever since that very first fic and countless thanks goes to the_muppet for organizing this amazing big bang and for personally helping me when I encountered problems. Buckets of love, rainbows and unicorns go to my sister Zoe, my best friend Patti, as well as Meggie, Susan, Tawny and Cally who have all supported and encouraged me to keep writing when I felt like giving up. This is for all of you and all the Merlin fans out there who love Merthur just as much as I do. I hope you guys enjoy it :)
