Title: Arrangements
Author: Mrs Leary
Artist: the awesome [livejournal.com profile] yue_ix
Betas: the amazing [livejournal.com profile] asifidletyou and [livejournal.com profile] reveuse2 ♥ (remaining infelicities are my own)

Rating: NC17
Universe: Merlin RPS
Characters: various combinations of Richard/Colin/Bradley
Word count: 16042

Warnings: This fic contains senior sex, consensual voyeurism, and threesomes.
♦ Also, as those familiar with the play Edward II (or the history on which it’s based) will know, it’s a tragedy and both main characters die. We don’t however, dwell upon any of the scenes in great detail, whether happy or sad.

Summary: Richard and Colin are ‘friends with benefits’; when Colin attempts to renegotiate their arrangement, Richard resists making it into anything more than what it is. And he seems to be justified in his wariness. As Richard directs Colin and Bradley in a production of Edward II, it becomes clear that the two young men are in love. Richard refuses to stand in their way, but now Colin is the one reluctant to change the existing arrangements.

Author's notes: Written for the Merlin RPF Big Bang Challenge 2011 [livejournal.com profile] merlinbb_rpf organised by the wonderful [livejournal.com profile] moonilicious. ♥
♦ The story was inspired, of course, by Colin’s real life trip to Sheffield to see The Pride on Richard’s 75th birthday… ♥
♦ The quotes are from Marlowe’s Edward II, except for Let me explain about the theatre business… which is from the movie Shakespeare in Love by Tom Stoppard and Marc Norman.
♦ Dedicated with love to [livejournal.com profile] yue_ix who came looking for a rare pair to illustrate ♥ and to [livejournal.com profile] asifidletyou who is about the most thoughtful and generous person I know. ♥

Artist's notes: Thank you to [livejournal.com profile] littlewolfstar for the beta and handholding. [livejournal.com profile] mrs_leary, doing this with you was like a dream. ♥

My beautiful, golden, lovely, loving and loved friend, [livejournal.com profile] mrs_leary , at The RPS Compartment,is responsible for all of this.  [livejournal.com profile] mrs_leary has very graciously invited me to post my RPS fic here...

It all started on a Sunday afternoon. Ok, actually it started long before that. See, I happened upon Mrs. Leary's gorgeous, lyrical, magical, HOT fic, and crawled into it, embraced it, became one with it. I actually haven't found anything yet of hers I do not adore. Everything she writes winds up in my favorite box. The Letters made me weep buckets for all its sad beauty, and The Black Lace Mantilla is one of the most unusual and unexpectedly sensual tales I've ever come across. But there were two stories in particular that spoke to me, and I just couldn't get out of my mind, and they were Indian Summer and Spring, in which Colin and Richard pair in one, and Colin, Richard, and Bradley triple in another. So I wrote to her and I told her how much I loved her (and surely would have proposed, but the "Mrs" in her name was a giveaway...) I also told her about a little daydream I was having, and somehow, without me saying much at all, she saw into my head and my heart and just *got* it, and she wrote Sunday Well Spent. *cries with happiness*

But this 'verse, which I've now taken to calling the RicColBra universe, would not be quieted, oh no. So with my dear friend's blessing, and some trepidation, and a whole lot of tenativeness, I had to continue these wonderful characters' story with Morning Has Broken, in three parts.

Part One
Part Two
Part Three

Linking to some of my earlier fic...

Title: Indian Summer
Author: Mrs Leary
Rating: NC17
Universe: Merlin RPS
Characters: Colin/Richard
Word count: 3411
Summary: Colin is in love with Bradley, though alas Bradley is straight. But Colin is willing to spend an afternoon with a friend who cares just as much for him.
Notes: See, the thing is… I didn’t even like Richard Wilson when Merlin started, and I’m sorry to say that I actually groaned when his name appeared in the opening credits on that first evening. But that was just a stupid stupid prejudice on my part, and I quickly became enchanted with all the Merlin+Gaius moments in the show, which are actually some of my favourite bits of the whole thing. And it soon became clear that Richard and Colin love working together. Then I was lucky enough to briefly meet Richard in Pierrefonds, and he was everything that was charming and bright. And after I came home, I discovered that Richard is gay and out and proud. Bless him! And I thought he deserved a bit of a reward for that… Hence my first Merlin RPS that doesn’t focus entirely on the OTP of Colin/Bradley. What better reward could I possibly provide Richard than this…? Ahem!
