Author has written 4 stories for Merlin.

Please PM me if you ever have ideas for a story that you'd like me to write. I'm always looking for prompts! I've published stories for BBC's Merlin, but I'm also interested in Criminal Minds, Avatar: the Last Airbender, London Spy, Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy 7 (and its multiple sequels), Noragami, Rise of the Guardians, and many Disney/Pixar films.

My avatar is a photograph titled, "Maybe Tomorrow" by Andrew Pearce. He is an incredible photographer and you should check out his work. I claim absolutely no credit for the photo, although I wish I was so skilled.

The Weight of Spring and the Scarecrow King reviews
If he looked up he'd see Arthur, posed like a scarecrow in the hall, watching him with those blank eyes. They'd slow when they passed him, the guards, so that Arthur's gaze drilled into his sloping shoulders, and they would revel in those moments of helplessness before seizing Merlin's wrists and leading him up the stairs.
