Author has written 4 stories for Merlin.

Hello, I'm gecko. Currently, I'm a junior at a local university, studying English literature. I can honestly say I've gone through the Merlin archive on both this website and Ao3 twice over, and lately I've been on a Merlin fic kick. You can find me on Ao3 as well by the same username (I'm starting to add things to my bookmarks and favorites, but just message for recs if you want).

Usually, I'm that kind of particularly awful person who writes whump or in the least a twisted comedy, but due to some prompts that have recently tickled my fancy, I've been writing some fluff.

So far I've written:

Spiders and Spice and Everything Nice Series

"Your Sharks Should Give Me Some Sugar" - Part One

"Mrs. Godfrey's Spider" - Part Two

"The Goblin in the Maze" - Part Three (ON HIATUS*)

Coming Sometime:

"Untitled Story About college!Merthur Where Merlin's Perspective Is Horrifically Autobiographical It Almost Hurts"

Spiders and Spice and Everything Nice

"Untitled Christmas Story That Will Hopefully Be Published Around Christmas Time Literally a Year Later Than Anticipated"

If you want to see me write something, ask and I'll see what I can do.

Disclaimer: I'm kind of a general mess of a human being, so I can't promise everything here will happen. I will do the best I can, though.

"The Goblin in the Maze" is on hold right now because my depression is acting with the vivacity it has stolen from me—that leech—and I do not believe that I can presently tell the story the way I had intended (my tone changes and my memory for things-thought-in-happier-days is always poor). This frustrates me to no end because while that series partially embarrasses me, it is terribly amusing to write. I have at least two more fics mentally lined up after this (alongside entire written scenes), and I would very much like to give them to you. I apologize for any upset, if any, this has caused. I will get back on it as soon as I am able.

A Criminal's Burial reviews
Upon awakening in a strange castle with no memory of the last week, Arthur learned that not only had he been recovering from poison, but that Merlin was responsible for the betrayal. Unfortunately, the boy was reportedly killed by Arthur's own sword and left to rot. Little does he know, the story is a mere ruse to conquer Camelot. NOT a death!fic. Merlin!/Arthur!Whump.

The Goblin in the Maze reviews
It's Halloween (yay out-of-season holiday fics), and Merlin manages to drag Arthur to his home in Ealdor to finally meet his mother. The trip doesn't exactly go as planned, what with an incident in the corn maze and a temporary, new addition to the Emrys household. Bickering. Fluff. Merthur. Third installment of Spiders and Spice and Everything Nice. May be read independently.

Mrs Godfrey's Spider reviews
Written for the prompt: A fic where they live in the same building, and Arthur hears a bloodcurdling scream. He races over because he thinks his neighbour (Merlin) is getting murdered, and it turns out it was just a spider. Smut would be lovely. Sequel to "Your Sharks Should Give Me Some Sugar". Can be read independently, and yes, there is smut.

Your Sharks Should Give Me Some Sugar reviews
While enjoying his one day off, Arthur overhears some noisy new neighbors moving in, which effectively interrupts his crap television binge marathon. Before long, this new neighbor - Merlin - comes a-knocking, asking for some sugar to bake cookies as a goodwill gesture to his new neighbors. After some unintentional partial nudity and some insult-based flirting, the two hit it off.
