Artist's Notes: Gwylliondream, thank you so much for picking my art prompt even though you had no intention of partaking in the fest. Thank you for matching my passion for this "Irish fic". The idea of our boys experiencing Ireland, Northern Ireland and discovering each other there just appealed to me on so many levels. Drawing Merlin in iconic Irish locations did things to me, I can tell you. Especially Giant's Causeway...I might have zoned out a bit drawing that. I am so glad you were just as enthusiastic about this whole thing as I was, and thank you for such lovely feedback, that does fuel the fire.
A massive thank you to the mods of the Merlin Reversebang Challenge. I think it's super that there is a bang for art prompts. So cool to see what pics can inspire in people. So, thank you, so much.

Summary: When Gwen is banished from Camelot for her indiscretion with Lancelot, Merlin misses the friendship he shared with her and Arthur. Arthur’s behaviour has taken a turn for the worse with Gwen gone—he sends Merlin to the stocks and overworks the knights whenever he gets the chance. Merlin works hard to convince Arthur to reunite with Gwen. He travels to Scarborough to give Gwen the news that Arthur will forgive her and take her as his queen, but only if she can prove her worthiness by completing a series of seemingly impossible tasks. Merlin uses his forbidden magic to help Gwen perform the tasks… the tasks that were meant to be completed by Gwen alone.

piinx! When I was offered your prompt as a pinch hitter, I jumped at the chance to write this fic for you. I hope I incorporated many of your wonderful ideas into a fic that you enjoy. Happy glomp-fest!
The blizzard in this fic is based on the 2013 winter storm “Nemo" which dropped a record 40 inches of snow on Hamden, Connecticut. With hurricane-force winds, the blizzard left hundreds of thousands of people without power and forced all transportation to a standstill for a number of days. Hamden, Connecticut is home to Quinnipiac University, on which I based Albion University, and where my son attends school.
Thanks to my cheerleading, beta-ing, fangirling friends

gilli_ann and

lawgoddess who keep me in line.
