Title: The Old Ways By: paceprompting Gift for: Raphale Rating: Mature Word count: 10,926 words Warning(s): No Archive Warnings Apply 

Creator Notes (Optional): This prompt was so fun and creative! I loved getting to work on it 

Summary: Merlin and Arthur spent Beltane together throughout the years, dancing together in secret--a bond between them where they are not prince and servant, but more. When Arthur is gone, Merlin waits. And wherever he is around the world, makes his way to the sea to the hear echoes of the days passed. He had long stopped wondering when Arthur would return, though the hope would not leave him. Perhaps it was not a return he was waiting for, but a rebirth.

Title: Through Destiny to Freedom: The Letters of Merlin and Arthur By: allatonceornothing Gift for: Raphale Rating: Teen and Up Word Count: 17,536 words Warning(s): No warnings Summary: Arthur is King, Merlin is Court Sorcerer, and they've been dancing around their feelings for years. Now that their duties often take them away from each other, they start to write to each other when they're apart. Letter after letter, all the words they cannot say aloud are finally spilled out on the page. Their bond becomes even tighter and more epic. Song lyric that inspired the prompt: "If I don't make it back from where I've gone, just know I loved you all along." (The Amazing Devil, Inkpot Gods.)

Title: the excitement of a thousand (or the soothing of your voice) By: regicsillagok / @our-stars-graveside Gift for: Raphale  / @rapha-reads Rating: General Word Count: 6,162 words Warning(s): Brief mention of death Creator Notes: hope you like this raphale!! i feel like i should mention that all the names in this are 100% references and possibly the only detail that i know is backed up xD apologies for incredibly long sentences, too-frequent ellipsis, and anything that isn’t accurate. my excuse is sorcery mwah <3 Summary: From Raphale’s Merthur Glompfest prompt:

Modern AU - Arthur runs away from home after college, refusing to conform to his father's plans. Penniless, homeless and friendless, he ends up in an antique bookshop managed by Gaius, where he meets Merlin. Arthur is on the run from his father who's sent all the cops in the country after him. Merlin is hiding from society because of his magic and who his father was (Uther's enemy? IRA activist? Last of the Dragonlords? Up to you). Despite hiding who they are, they immediately hit it and start falling for each other. Can be Modern with Magic or not.
