FIC: Blood-flecked Smile
Title: Blood-flecked Smile
Name: tailor31415
Prompt #: 12 [Prompt]Arthur is the newest researcher at Pendragon Co at the insistence of his father, the CO of the corporation. While there, Arthur inadvertently discovers the corporation's darkest secret - it's experimentation not only with magic but on magic users as well. He manages to con his way onto one of the projects, and befriends its subject - Merlin. But just when Arthur was about to make plans to help Merlin escape, things go the heck, magical experiements have gone awry, the inmates take over the asylum, and it's up to Merlin to help Arthur escape.
Rating: PG-13
Character(s)/Pairing(s): Merlin/Arthur Pendragon (gen), Morgana, with Uther, Sarrum, Leon, Gwaine and Lancelot all appearing
Wordcount: 16149
Warnings: Experimentation/torture, Mild gore/violence, whumped!Merlin, protective!Arthur
Summary: There was a young man on the screen, laid out on a table. His back was arched, his head tilted back and his mouth hung open in a silent scream. Blue light danced over his skin, culminating in a blue sphere clenched in one hand.
And that was no science-fiction film - Arthur recognized that room. Recognized it because he had spent every day for weeks in a room just like it.
That room was somewhere in the building, and Arthur was going to find it.
Notes: Beta courtesy of ynysafallon. If only I had spent several more weeks working on this, to flesh out backstory and fill the plot holes - but this semester's been busy for me! Hope this fills the prompt to satisfaction! And that it fits the 'horror' category a bit (horror turned out to be hard for me to write!).
