Title: Werewolf of London
Author: honeybearbee
Pairings/characters: Arthur/Merlin, slight Morgana/Gwen, hinted at others
Rating: R for violence and some blood
Word Count: 32,022
Warnings: Werewolves. 1850s. Magic. AU of a fake universe, so if some things don't match up with the real world (ie the way British University works), that's what I’m going with. Character death. Someone trying to force themselves on another.
Summary: Arthur takes Merlin to Europe, however bad news strikes Merlin's family so he has to go home. On his own, Arthur becomes a wild werewolf, hell-bent on revenge. It's up to Merlin to save his friend and keep him from killing people in London. Things get more complicated when Uther, Valiant, and Sophia all start making trouble for the pair. Then it gets even stranger.

Here Author's notes: I have a few people I want to thank and without them, this story would not have gotten written. So thanks to:
-
shan_3414 for being the being the best fucking cheerleader I could ask for. If anyone says otherwise, I will punch them in the face. She kept me going when I was freaking out and helped me stay sane. Well, less crazy. <3
-
popkin16 for talking about One Piece and then books (book houses!) and then Merlin. I sent the fic to her and she kept making heart eyes at it, so I figured I was doing something right. She also read it over for me, checking for any left over mistakes of mine, when I just couldn’t re-read it anymore. She always wanted to know what would happen (evil suspense!) and that made me want to write more. <3
-
amythystluna for making the amazing art to go with my story. She actually made me write my story better because she needed details and once I got in the habit of writing details, I couldn’t stop. I love the input she gave me and her art is just amazing. I know she was working on pieces for another story as well, so I thank her for being able to work on mine as well. <3
-
vinylsigns for helping to beta this (again!). I must have sent her like, three to five copies and she just kept them all and sent it back at once with amazing notes and suggestions to help my story become more fleshed out and less full of mistakes. She put in a lot of time into this story even though I know my story came in second after raiding (ha ha, jk jk.). <3
-
guilshad for being a crazy person who beta-ed my story as well as other stories! I’m sure she was very busy, so I appreciate the time she took to go over my story and make it amazing. I’m grateful for her input and suggestions and I’m glad she picked my story to beta. Hopefully, I didn’t make too many mistakes and didn’t drive her crazy. <3
- And last, but not least,
the_muppet for putting this all together (twice now!) and being a fantastic mod. Thanks for all the hard work and being super helpful and amazing! <33333
If my title makes you think of
Werewolves of London, then my job is done. Arthur’s werewolf look is partly based off
this and
this. I made the chapter headers and
madnessisreal (and I kind of. I cut it, but she made it better) made the story break art from
amythystluna's art. Also, because my betas worked very hard, any mistakes found in the story are my own.
