tapeandbladeshide bio
 Author has written 8 stories for Sherlock, and Merlin. Hi, I'm tapeandblades. If you've looked at my fics - no, I am not a sadist. My specialty is angst, but I'm happy to take requests for other genres. I've written a few Sherlock fanfictions but my alliance with those is pretty much over, I'm afraid. I'm now quite fully dedicated to the gorgeous but traumatised fandom of Merlin. If you're looking for clumsy warlocks and oblivious princes then please, go no further. Writing means a lot to me. Reviews are always appreciated - I enjoy to read feedback on my pieces. It's always nice to reach someone somewhere. Thank you for visiting, stop by again soon! -tapeandblades Latest Update (14/12/2017): I know, I am currently working on three Merlin fics at the same time. Please bear with me, none of them are abandoned and I'll get to all of them eventually, I promise. I am currently working on writing a book so at the moment this takes priority. Apologies. |

The Witching Hour reviews
There was something about Merlin. There always had been. Something in the way those blue things floating in his eyes flitted inconsistently around a room. Something in the way his cotton sleeves curled around the heels of his hands as if his arms were secrets. Merlin was delicate, and Arthur, fascinated. Modern/School AU.

Angst, and a sequel to come.

Cold as Death reviews
What would have happened if Merlin had never been healed magically after the Dorocha attack? I find it a little convenient that Lancelot manages to set Merlin down by a river where some kind of spirit (Villia) is able to emerge in a bubble and heal him. So, I wrote what might have happened if Merlin had never been healed by magic at all. Warning: Angst may ensue.
