Bingo: Outer Circle
Author: sour_idealist
Fandoms: BBC's Merlin, B.R. Collins's The Traitor Game (obscure like whoa)
Prompts: school dance, college acceptance/denial letters, class - p.e., first time, group date, snow day, sneaking on school grounds, blind date, party, sweet sixteen, coming out, class - drama, class - art, out past curfew, rivals, class - sex education/health
Title: From Either Side of a Closet Door
Prompt: School dance
Medium: fic
Pairing: Arthur/Merlin, Michael/Francis
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Swearing like sailors, discussions of sex and homophobia
Summary: The blond bloke was behind the darker-haired one, rubbing a hand along his companion’s hips; the darker one had his head turned back as if to say something. Or as if he’d only have to twist a little bit more and they would be kissing right in the middle of the dance floor. The bloody idiots.
Title: Empty Houses, Liquor Cabinets and the Desecration of Desks
Prompt: snow day
Medium: fic
Pairing: Arthur/Merlin
Rating: R
Warnings: Sex, alcohol, swearing (note: the characters are over the age of consent but are under the age of 18; however, I don't believe the sex is graphic enough to cause trouble)
Summary: In which loneliness is averted, messes are made of three rooms, Merlin is very bad at video games, and I have an actual summary instead of a quote.
Title: The Complex Mathematics of Two Plus Two
Prompt: group date
Medium: fic
Pairing: Arthur/Merlin, Gwen/Morgana
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: innuendo, vague consensual groping, mild angst over being closeted
Summary: "They piled into a corner booth, Arthur and Merlin on one side and Gwen and Morgana on the other, and argued over whether or not to order an appetizer. Morgana fed Gwen chips with surprising daintiness, and Arthur and Merlin stole each others' onion rings."
Title: Learned from Gaps in the Lesson Plan
Prompt: class - sex education/health
Medium: fic
Pairing: (not applicable)
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Discussions of sex, swearing
Summary: Gwen flipped open her notebook and began to doodle: swirls and arcs and curlicues in lines and clusters across the page. This entire class just felt... useless, really..
Title:Fantasize (The Best Laid Plans)
Prompt: First time
Medium: fic
Pairing: Gwen/Morgana
Rating: R
Warnings: Sex (again, the characters are of age in their setting but are under the age of 18. Sex isn't too graphic.)
Summary: Gwen did not answer the door in the altogether or anything remotely approaching it, but Morgana was a connoisseur of her smiles, and this one held more than a little bit of nervous anticipation.
Title: Bricks and Hedges
Prompt: sneaking on school grounds
Medium: fic
Pairing: Michael/Francis
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Swearing, bullying, every kind of homophobia you can cram into twelve hundred words
Summary: There was an unspoken code to this part, the fireworks of pain bursting under their skin and the echoed bloody taste of fear in their mouths.
Title: Selective Use of Full Titles
Prompt: class - p.e.
Medium: fic
Pairing: one-sided Arthur/Merlin
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Bullying, homophobia, foul language
Summary:The ball always served as an eye to a hurricane of unsportsmanlike elbows and feet ready to stomp, and anyone who flubbed a catch or missed a pass would be guaranteed a five-minute lesson on his genealogy and anatomy.
Title: To Adorn You In My Finest

Summary: "You look debauched."
Title: Camaraderie
Prompt: class - drama
Medium: fic
Pairing: (not applicable)
Rating: PG
Warnings: Mild swearing
Summary: It took them about two weeks to discover that being a techie meant you were destined to be press-ganged into half a dozen jobs; Merlin scowled and sulked and railed, while Gwen threw up her hands and bullied him into helping with the painting.
Title: Treasure Troves
Prompt: sweet sixteen
Medium: fic
Pairing: Gwen/Morgana

Title: Bitter Gifts
Prompt: rivals
Medium: fic

Title: In Lovers' Eyes
Prompt: class - art
Medium: fic
Pairing: Gwen/Morgana
Rating: G
Warnings: None
Summary: "She got lost in a haze of color and texture and shading and line; or sank into a maze of wire and paper and thin, translucent shadows; or became hypnotized with the soaked grey clay as it took shape under the half-conscious guidance of her fingers."
Title: The Luck of the Draw
Prompt: coming out
Medium: fic
Pairing: Gwen/Morgana, Arthur/Merlin, Michael/Francis (none focal)
