Title: Fine, But Not Dandy
Rating: PG-13/Teen
Pairing: Merlin/Arthur
Characters: Arthur, Merlin, OC
Word Count: 2.3k (or, too many as usual)
Summary: Regency AU. Arthur Pendragon, Earl of Shrewsbury, is spending what he would consider an ordinary Saturday afternoon at the Albion Club... That is, until he meets someone extraordinary.
Prompt: #108 ~ Exquisite
Author's Note: Okay, so me being me, I had to find a unique way to use the prompt. And then I found this:

Exquisite (noun): archaic A person, esp. a man, who takes excessive care in his manner of dress; a dandy.

And, yep... That had my plot bunnies up and running. I ended up with this first installment of a serial Regency AU. Many thanks to ekishou for a second set of Regency eyes on this. I really hope you like this! (And if there are any posting issues, it's because I don't have working Internet at home and I am posting this from my phone!)

Title: Costume
Rating: PG-13 for violent thoughts
Pairing/s: none
Character/s: Morgana
Summary: Morgana's costume is exquisite
Warnings: Violent thoughts
Word Count: 100
Prompt: 108, Exquisite



Morgana’s dreams and her magic are no longer the only thing preying on her. She is consumed with a hatred she can barely house.

She’s perfect in look and manner and so imperfect beneath the mask it makes her seethe to see a reflection. She is tainted by the betrayal of Uther’s lies running through her veins.

Her anger has become a sword in her hand, a knife at her father’s throat, a song of vengeance that needs to be sung.

She dreams of a Camelot that will be hers, shared blood splattered over the throne. It will be glorious.
