Hello all and welcome to day 6 of Mini Mercelot Week! Thank you so much to everyone who’s participated so far! It’s been such a successful fest and the AO3 tag for Lancelot/Merlin is booming! It’s so lovely to see.
Today’s prompt is: Work/Jobs
Our boys have things to do. Tell us about them. Show them to us.
We are so excited to see what you come up with! Remember to fill out our fill form so you can get a badge and to help the mods keep track of all the excellent things that get created. We appreciate everyone who’s read/reblogged/created something this week.
“Hey, I saw this in the market and thought of you,” had become one of the most common phrases Lancelot’s vocabulary. He’d never had a steady stream of income before, so after a small adjustment period where he still hoarded food, money, and weapons to be prepared for a rainy day, he started spending almost all of his knightly paycheck on gifts. His first gift was for Merlin, a beautiful butterfly necklace inlaid with jewels that used up most of the money he’d saved. The next paycheck, though, was mostly spent on Gwaine, who had surprisingly been the one to teach him budgeting. The other traveler’s monetary style leaned more towards “spend everything you got the second you get it so you can’t get robbed,” but that turned out to be exactly the approach Lancelot needed. He bought the knight new boots, since his old ones were wearing out from being worn for so long, and paid for many rounds at the tavern. All of his friends received gifts as well, from a custom made gambeson for Percival to journals for Leon to carving knives for Elyan to a set of beautiful silverware for Gwen and a new herb drying rack and more glass bottles for Gaius.
“Merlin, wait up a minute, I have something for you,” he said the morning after one payday. Merlin was already out of bed, getting dressed to go wake up Arthur. His butterfly necklace was concealed beneath his neckerchief. Still in bed, Lancelot rolled over to grab the package he’d concealed beneath the bed. Normally he didn’t bother with wrapping them nicely, but today he’d wanted to see Merlin’s face as he realized what it was.
Modern Reincarnation AU. Merlin and Lancelot go through a photo album. ~1700 words. Lancelot/Merlin. No warnings apply. (Mention of car wreck that killed Lancelot in a past life.)
A late birthday gift for Mod @little-ligi, because I couldn’t have made this fest work without her. You’re the best Ligi

There’s no need to print photographs anymore. It’s easy enough to look at a screen and and flip through thousands, hundreds of thousands of images. But there has always been something special about choosing individual moments, perfect snapshots, and cataloging them into a book whose pages he can flip through. Merlin has been alive for over 1500 years. Books are one of the most familiar things he knows. One of the only things that hasn’t changed much in 1500 years.
People changed, clothes changed, transport changed, but not books. Those had remained nearly the same. You open the front cover and you look at what’s inside, just like always.
After 1500 years of adaptations, it was nice for this one thing to remain the same.
Hello all and welcome to another year of Mercelot Week! Mercelot week will run from June 27-July 3. There are plenty of prompts to choose from for each day, so go wild! The theme for the prompts this year is Greek Myths. Each day is based off of a Person/Diety from Greek Mythology. Hope you enjoy!
And that is the last round up of the stunning and wonderful entries! Please go and check them all out and don’t forget to show lots of love to all of the creators!
Thank you so much to everyone who created something for Mini Mercelot Week!! We love you all more than anything
This is just a reminder that you have until 11.59pm CST, 15th June to post any late entries! (mod ligi is desperately trying to finish day 6 still )
We will be making a masterpost of all of the wonderful entries sometime in the next few days so make sure you’ve sent in the fill form for every piece you created to be sure it is included on the masterpost! (also if you have posted an entry that we haven’t reblogged, please let us know - either tag @mercelotweek in your post or send the tumblr post link to us in an ask)
Again thank you so much everyone for all the fabulous Mercelot content you have created! We have done so well to grow the tag this week!
Tags: Alantis AU, Atlantean AU, Action/Adventure, Angst, Violence, Atlantis, Merman Lance, Mer!Lance, Heavy Angst, Whump, Tomb Raider AU, Mer AU, Hurt/Comfort, Serious Injuries, this is like 4 AUs lumped into one crazy adventure, all the characters are older and in their 20s, set in the same kind of timeline as Voltron where it’s somewhat in the future
After years of hard work, Katie Holt finally cracks the dead Atlantean language and figures out the location of the lost city of Atlantis. With a crew of friends and experts, she continues the work her father started when they discover the city and find it exceeds their expectations of abandoned ruins. With the arrival of a hostile organization, an internal conflict, and a deadly secret hidden within the city, Katie’s decisions could determine who lives and who dies.
And all her choices become infinitely harder when Lance is thrown into the equation.
