a BBC Merlin rarepair fest
Avatar
Merlin Femslash Week 
(September 13th - 20th)
1) An eight day fest devoted to fanworks celebrating romantic and/or sexual relationships between cis women, trans women and non-binary identifying characters on BBC Merlin. These can include fanworks based upon canonical such characters on Merlin, in addition to characters whose sex and/or gender identity has been changed from canon for the purpose of the fanwork.
2) Open to all pairings and characters, including RPF, as long as they fit the main criteria of the fest. And all queer headcanons about Merlin characters’ sexual and/or romantic orientation are accepted and encouraged, even and especially if they diverge from or are ambiguous in canon.
3) Prompts (one for each day) will be given out two weeks prior to the start of the fest to participants that sign up in advance, and then posted the week of the fest for anyone else who wishes to participate. Participants need to make a fanwork based on at least one of the prompts (or obviously they won’t be participating) but can do as many as they wish.
4) Any type of fanwork is accepted, as long as it is original work. Participants will post them on their own blogs, making sure to tag them #merlinfemslashweek, and all works will be reblogged on the main blog.
5) No character or pairing bashing, wank, queerphobia, etc will be tolerated. And please be respectful of fellow participants and their work!

pairing: Gwaine/Morgana rating: Teen+ word count: 11K warnings/content: coffeeshop!AU

summary: At the edge of town there's a bakery called the Cookie Tin. It's usually a quiet, quaint little place with not much going on - exactly the reason Morgana loves it so much. When a hooded man enters the door on a Thursday afternoon, a normal day turns into a far from normal few months. Cue a hidden celebrity, a psychopathic ex-girlfriend, and an accident that leaves everyone shaken; and life in the Cookie Tin would never be the same again.

pairing: Gaius/Merlin rating: Explicit word count: 10K warnings/content: May-December romance, shades of incest

summary: To quote the prompt: Merlin grew up raised by Gaius, not knowing he wasn’t his father, until the day his magic manifested and Gaius explained everything. Suddenly, those feelings Merlin’s been having aren’t quite so wrong…

pairing: Gaius/Uther rating: mature word count: 2.3K warnings/content: Old morons in love. No explicit sex.

summary: "Gaius, was it?" the king says when Gaius hasn't moved. "Think you can do a little healing spell?"

"Yes, Sire, I believe so." He sets his hands to work, hoping the herbs he chooses are the right ones as he fills the poultice and lights a bundle of sage. When he chants the spell, he feels the magic surge through him. He knows he did it right.

"Remarkable," he says, and his lips slip into a crooked smirk, one that Gaius thinks is actually rather charming. He hopes to please the king again.
