Happy April 3rd!

A slightly angsty Merthur fic idea/ mini fic where a magic reveal goes slightly wrong, and Merlin and Arthur are captured by bandits. Things are still raw between both of them—think of their interactions in Diamond of the Day—but they’re stuck together anyway. They’ll have to depend on each other to escape (they will, but angst first).

The bandits know that Merlin has magic and give him cold iron shackles so he can’t use it. Worse, their leader is bragging how much coin they’ll get if they hand over their new sorcerer (Merlin) to Cenred.

Merlin’s fate seems to be uncertain: even if he escapes with Arthur, Arthur could still have him arrested for magic. Or he could end up being forced to fight for Cenred. (I think it’s headcanon that known sorcerers are forced to serve Cenred in Essetir and that’s partially why Merlin had gone to Camelot in the first place.)

So, as soon as they’re alone (in a cell or tied to trees away from the bandit camp), Merlin asks Arthur to kill him. (He would rather die than serve Cenred, and he knows execution probably awaits him in Camelot anyway.)

Arthur is obviously horrified that Merlin would ask him to do that. He asks why.

Merlin doesn’t bring up that he doesn’t really see a way out of this for himself. But he answers honestly: he doesn’t want his magic to be used as a weapon. (Merlin feels no loyalty to Uther, but he has no wish to harm Camelot or anyone else. *cue Nobody’s Soldier by Hozier*)

His answer is what brings Arthur to look at him fully again—stranger and friend, sorcerer and servant. (Basically Arthur goes from not recognizing the Merlin he thought he knew, to realizing he’s the same fool he’s always known.)

They escape later, and there’s much for Arthur to relearn about his friend, but they work together to bring magic back

A TV network gets the show “Survival: Ghost Zone” on the air with…less than willing participants.

Chapter 3 of Double Discovery (by @dp-marvel94) podfic is up! Enjoy listening ^^

Fandom: Danny Phantom Length: 27min Summary: And what if, when Danny transforms on the dissection table, they do believe him?

I posted a new podfic - this time it's a oneshot Last Chance by @liketolaugh-writes

It's my first time recording a oneshot, it feels a bit strange (in a good way) to finish it so fast. I hope I was able to capture the feel of the story well <3

Amazing! Thank you ^^

Hi! I just wanted to ask if the blanket permission for remixes in your ao3 profile also includes permission for podfics?

Yes, absolutely! I should probably make that clear on my AO3 profile lol.
