FANMIX * A Modern Myth * Merlin * Arthur/Merlin

[renrenren3]

Title: A Modern Myth
Fandom: Merlin
Subject: Arthur/Merlin
Notes: Made for singustosleep's March challenge: alternate universe and negative space. This AU is based on a fic I'll probably never write, with a Queer as Folk-esque plot. Arthur is a young and successful CEO who's famous for having slept with every gay man in Manchester. Merlin is the childhood friend with an art gallery and a huge crush on Arthur. He's also the only man Arthur never slept with... that is, until one fateful night they both get too drunk at Gwen and Morgana's party and go home together and one thing leads to another. The morning after, Arthur, being Arthur, says the wrong thing and completely fucks up everything. Merlin storms out swearing he doesn't want to see Arthur ever again. But twenty years of friendship are hard to forget, and Arthur is also slowly realizing that Merlin is anything but a simple one-night stand.






Youtube playlist

01. Crash Years (The New Pornographers)
Traffic was slow for the crash years
There's no other show like it 'round here
[...]
And like the rest of us
You got those old eternity blues

02. Sins of My Youth (Neon Trees)
Back when I was young
I've got these habits that I cannot break
And as I'm
Older there is more at stake

03. Forget About What I Said (The Killers)
We used to tear it down
but now we just exist
The things that I did wrong
I'll bet you've got a list

04. Thistle & Weed (Mumford and Sons)
I sit alone in this winter clarity which clouds my mind
Alone in the wind and the rain you left me
It's getting dark darling, too dark to see
And I'm on my knees, and your faith in shreds, it seems

05. Spell It Out (Embrace)
When you're left with nothing
There's nothing left to lose
Words will not come looking for me and you
Once we wanted nothing and everything was real

06. Come Home (One Republic)
Come home, come home
'Cause I've been waiting for ya, for so long, for so long
And right now there's a war between the vanities
But all I see is you and me

07. They Bring Me To You (Joshua Radin)
Moon pours through the ceiling tonight
Embraces us tight
Shows me we're right for each other
And as we lie here and let the world fade away
The sunrise tries to end it while we try to stay

08. A Modern Myth (30 Seconds to Mars)
Did we create a modern myth
Did we imagine half of it
Would happen in a thought from now

Everything that has Mumford and Sons in it is definitely brilliant :D And I really want to read this fic!

You're welcome! :) I'm happy you like it.

I really want to write it, maybe when I've finished my thesis I'll have enough time.

[renrenren3]

I'm not a fan of all of their songs, but this one was too good to pass. Thank you! :)

This looks awesome, I don't suppose you can upload it somewhere else? My computer hates megaupload of the crash variety.

[renrenren3]

Thank you! Sadly my computer hates megaupload too, I have to beg my sister to use hers... I'll see if I can upload it to mediafire too.
