FIC: All the Dead Are Here
Title: All the Dead Are Here
Author: loaded_march/Footloose on AO3
Prompt Number: 38
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 47,000
Characters/Pairings: Merlin/Arthur
Warnings: Horror themes, death themes, major character death (temporary), blood, gore, gross stuff, decomposition, mutilation, violence, chaos, failure to obey the How To Survive A Horror Movie Rules, and, worst of all, Gwaine making a bad zombie joke
Summary:
There's not much outside Arthur's purview -- eventually, all creatures fall to the Reaper's scythe. It's never personal. It's just his job.
That was true until Arthur ran into the only death he's ever regretted reaping -- Merlin, who is inexplicably alive and well.
But that's not all. There are monsters that exist outside of life and death, and they're spreading like vermin in the city of London. The balance is in jeopardy, and Merlin may be the only one who can help him restore order in the chaos.
Notes: This prompt? Aces. I couldn't turn it down. Thank you, prompter, for coming up with it! I hope it was in the ballpark of what you were hoping for. A big, giant THANK YOU to castmeaway, who did an amazing beta at the 11th hour.
