Warnings: I don't think any are needed
Disclaimer: Merlin belongs to Shine, we're just writing and arting for fun and non-profit.
Author's notes: This ridiculous scenario came to me last year and foolishly I thought it would only be about 30k in length. I really should learn to take my estimates and double them! Having failed miserably to produce an ACBB for the past two years I was determined to finish this time (I do still intend finishing the other one).
I was so lucky to have my dear friend LFB as my artist. She's produced some gorgeous pieces, please do go and leave her all the love and kudos that she deserves. LFB also acted as cheerleader and was tremendously supportive. She's wonderful to work with.
Huge thanks also to the very lovely Wasp, Polo and Cam for all their encouragement and support while I was writing this and also for a last-minute amazing betaing job!
Artist's notes: I was a bit cheeky at this years ACBB, I volunteered my art services to Clea and thankfully she said yes! I love her work and it was great fun to work with her and get a front seat view of this story as it unfolded.
The concept of the Merlin characters in this rock 'n' roll universe is so much fun. I had a great time doing research and Anthony Head does not disappoint, there is a plethora of reference shots of him singing and playing guitar the others not so much so a little artistic licence was required. I tried very hard to get things right but I am not musical so I apologise if there are any mistakes or mishaps with what they are doing to their instruments.
I could not have done this without the infinite patience and talent of my beta,merlinsdeheune who always knows how to make my art better and was very enthusiastic at helping me source reference shots.
Summary: “You’re gay!” Uther exclaimed, as if Arthur had handed him some delightful gift. “That’s wonderful! I’m so proud!”
And that, really, should have been a warning. But nothing could have been a warning for what happened next.
In which Uther is the king... of rock and roll, Merlin is a magical singer, Morgana casts a spell over everyone, and Arthur.... Well, Arthur really wishes he was anywhere but here.
