Re-rendering of my pieces for last year's acbb: Requiem of a Forgotten Prince by @queerofthedagger

[mirayladraws]

I was participating in After Camlann Big Bang, although my writer sadly couldn’t finish it so she agreed for me to post it separately!

I didn’t post two of the arts though, just to keep some spoilers away when she finishes the story! 😌✨

(Yes some of them are just sketches and their outfit design but still I hope you like it!)

I am so happy to finally post our @aftercamlann big bang entry!!

I am beyond excited for the world to read @merlinlikethebird 's story, that made me so sad, so hopeful, so happy while painting beautiful images in your mind. I tried to pull some of these images out of my head and ban them on the page and i hope you like the result. <3

Also i couldn't have asked for a more encouraging and lovely partner in crime, thank you so much for hyping up every step on the way <3

Also big thanks to the mods who did a fantastic job!

I was so lucky to work with @salamandair for acbb! It was my first time joining and I am so glad I did. Please go and read this amazing story. Here are the arts I made for this fic. I recommend reading first before checking the artworks to avoid spoilers.

Here’s my art master post for this year’s ACBB and the art for master of all, master of none!

It was another fun year, and it was great working with @princess-of-the-worlds again! This story was so fun to read, and it inspired me to go about the art in different ways and try some different things.

Go check it out! master of all, master of none

Summary:

In the 21st century, Merlin Emrys is recovering from his stressful job as a paramedic at his father’s veterinary clinic in Wales. While undertaking a hike of the surrounding area, he stumbles upon a mysterious stone circle that seems to call to him...

In the sixth century, King Arthur Pendragon finds a young, confused man in the woods. Even though the stranger doesn’t speak Britonnic, he immediately makes it clear that he thinks Arthur and his knights are a bunch of prats…

Displaced in time and burdened with an unexpected new gift, Merlin needs to find his way back home. Meanwhile, Arthur is facing tough decisions of his own, as he too has to choose the path he’s going to follow.

Chapters: 16/16 Fandom: Merlin (TV) Rating: Mature Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence Relationships: Merlin/Arthur Pendragon (Merlin) Characters: Arthur Pendragon (Merlin), Merlin (Merlin), Morgana (Merlin), Gwaine (Merlin), Lancelot (Merlin), Percival (Merlin), Leon (Merlin), Elyan (Merlin), Gwen (Merlin), Mordred (Merlin), Freya (Merlin), Uther Pendragon (Merlin), Morgause (Merlin), Nimueh (Merlin) Additional Tags: Slow Burn, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Minor Character Death, King Merlin (Merlin), Angst with a Happy Ending, Alternate Universe - Different First Meeting Summary:

"Everyone but Uther Pendragon will be allowed to live," the voice says, echoing through Arthur's bones, the raw power of it terrifying beyond anything he’s ever felt, and he knows that even if the owner of the voice can be trusted to spare his citizens, the offer of sanctuary does not extend to him.

Or: When Camelot falls to an army of sorcerers, Arthur expects to follow his father to the pyre. Instead, he’s surprised when the new king spares his life, although he’s not entirely sure death wouldn’t have been better than spending the rest of his days locked in his room, waiting for Emrys to get bored of having him around.

What follows is a tale of murder attempts, evil schemes, and a mysterious prophecy.

And destiny, of course.

The Reluctant Prince

words by cookie, art by schweet_heart Summary: 

Arthur has never really wanted to be a prince, and the thought of being king in the future fills him with dread. But that is his destiny and not even falling in love with a stage magician called Merlin can change that.

Let Life Be Like Music by @slantedknitting for @aftercamlann

I had the honour of being paired up with the wonderful Slantedknitting for acbb 2022! 🥰

Here are my main pieces for this wonderful music fic! I have a particular soft spot for violist!Merlin and so you can imagine how delighted I was to be able to draw for it. Please go check it out!! <3

[thenerdyindividual]

Are there any Merlin fan artists that might be interested in partnering with me for the After Camlann Big Bang? I know part of the point of a bang is luck of the draw but the first year my artist dropped out without informing anyone and it created a lot of problems, so I would prefer going in with a partner. Feel free to dm me if you’re interested!

Edit: my last two ACBB fics were merthur based, but I am a multishipper and totally willing to write something other than merthur (gen included) if that sweetens the pot for anyone.
