Title:Avalon
Author:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mariana_oconnor
Movie Prompt: Serenity
Pairing: None as the focus, but Gwen/Lancelot, pre-slash Merlin/Arthur
Rating: R for language and adult themes.
Word Count: ~43500
Spoilers/Warnings: Violence, ( spoilers ), abuse of Old English
Author's Notes: For those of you who know Serenity and Firefly, you will recognise that several aspects of the television series, not just the film have made their way into this fic. You’ll probably spot all of them. I’ve tried to splice them together as well as I can.
For the purposes of narrative flow and to cut down on word count and lengthy excerpts in which nothing much happens, the Pendragons do not spend as long on board Avalon as the Tams spend on Serenity. This makes the interpersonal relationships evolve a lot faster than I would have liked, but some things are just necessary.
This follows the major plot of the original film quite closely, although I’ve changed things on many significant points. I’m not telling you whether those include any of the deaths (no, not even going to tell you about that one).
I cut the Inara role out of this fic because the only Merlin character I could think of who was remotely Companion like was Sophia, and she’s more of a Saffron character. (God, I want to write that fic now!)
In the spirit of the original, the characters swear and sometimes comment in a second language. As I don’t know Mandarin, I didn’t use that. I did, in true Merlin style, do them all in Old English, which I also haven’t learnt. I apologise for any grammatical or vocabulary errors, all of it comes from www.oldenglishtranstator.co.uk. All translations are in the post-fic notes along with a timeline, detailing the major events in the history of the fic, and extended character notes. Feel free to ask questions or point out plot holes. In fact I encourage you to do so.
I’ve tried to include small nods to Serenity and Firefly, and also Merlin, along the way. Some original dialogue from both fandoms is included, some things are just in built.
I hope I’ve managed to do both sides of this justice, though I can’t imagine I have. Please enjoy, and be kind. I’m not Joss Whedon.
Acknowledgements: So many thanks towrennette again for being an awesome beta. I really do abuse the privilege terribly. Though I've been tweaking things right up to this morning. ^_^;; Also thanks to krazykipper and merelyn for being kind enough to let me rearrange my posting day... twice. ^_^ And to my f-list who didn't tell me to shut up. ^_^
Summary:Arthur Pendragon just wanted to keep his sister safe, he didn't really think about anything else. But now he's being hunted by the Alliance. Captain William Moore and the crew of his ship, Avalon, have no idea what they're in store for when they pick up two passengers at Camelot space-port.

Title: Avalon
Movie Prompt: Serenity
Pairing: None as the main focus but: Gwen/Lancelot, pre-slash Merlin/Arthur,
Rating: R for language and adult themes (I have always wanted to say that)
Word Count: ~ 43500 (less than last time, not that that's saying much)
Spoilers/Warnings: Violence, ( spoiler ), Gratuitous (and probably incorrect) use of old English.
Author's Notes: See Master Post
Summary: All Arthur Pendragon wanted to do was keep his sister safe, he hadn't really thought about what that might entail.
( Things are going to get much, much worse. )

Title: Addicted to Blood (the Open Wounds Radio Edit)
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Andromeda/Ted, Narcissa/Lucius, Bellatrix/Rodolphus, Teddy Lupin
Rating: R
Disclaimer: The characters belong to J K Rowling, as does the world. I own nothing, I get nothing in return except for a warm, fuzzy feeling if people comment.
Original story: Cicatrix byhereticalvision
Summary: Andromeda Tonks has lost two families, and she's still not sure when she lost the first one.

remixredux09. Thanks to L for the beta work and for going through it with me in the initial stages and making suggestions. A completely superfluous and nonsensical behind-the-scenes look at my writing of it can be found here.

Title: Camelot’s Sweethearts
Author:mariana_oconnor
Movie Prompt: America’s Sweethearts (can you see where I got the title from?)
Pairing: Merlin/Arthur overall with Will/Merlin, Arthur/Sophia, past Arthur/Morgana (they aren’t related), background Morgana/Lancelot, background Gwen/OMC
Rating: R
Word Count: Just under 63000 … don’t look at me like that.
Spoilers/Warnings: Uhm, let’s just say the whole of series one, for good luck
Author's Notes: This is the little fic that ran away with my inner editor and killed them, brutally. Many, many, thanks towrennette who did a spectacular job of betaing every part of it and checking for continuity errors and everything and binglejells who gave another part a thorough looking over during my ‘aargh deadline!’ panic. Any mistakes left are my own.
Also – I know nothing about the film industry.
Third I do not own any of the things mentioned in this fic. Nor do the opinions of the characters on anything from religion to John Barrowman necessarily reflect my own.
Thank god it’s over.
Summary: Arthur is a film star, Merlin is his personal assistant who might, possibly be head over heels in love with him. However, Arthur’s more interested in his ex, Morgana, and then the mysterious Sophia to notice… Oh, and Will is awesome.

Fandom: Merlin
Rating: R - comic violence and mentions of sex
Pairing/Characters: Merlin/Arthur, mentions of Gwen, Gwen's dad, Will and Lancelot
Disclaimer: I own neither Merlin nor Shaun of the Dead, I am not getting any money from this. If I were I would not be panicking so much about how I'm ever going to pay back my student loan.
Warnings: AU, Attempts at humour, Crack... Cracky-violence, Zombies. Character death - but in a humorous fashion, I swear.
Spoilers: None, no really, none whatsoever.
Author’s Note: A line came into my mind that was clearly from an epic zombie!fic... I decided that I didn't have time and wrote zombie!crack!fic.
Many thanks once again towrennette who was nice enough to laugh while beta-ing.
Summary: The world is being overrun by zombies and Merlin and Arthur are two of the last living people on the planet, they think.
