Hi, I'm Jas, and I'm going to be driving the van for Merlin for October. I'm putting this up right now, so that fen straight off the Season 4 premiere can have good fic waiting for them.

I'm heavily Merlin/Arthur and OT4 focused, but I do think nothing is better than fic that brings out the best in all the characters in the show.

Fandom: MERLIN
Pairing: Merlin/Arthur
Length: 25,000 words

Why this must be read: The summary tells you most of what you need to know: Fanfic classic #3: Unexpected Possession of Magic. Inexplicable things keep happening around Arthur. In the end, he can only accept that he's got magic in him. Magic is a curse that needs to be stamped out, and Arthur shows himself no mercy.

Arthur's reaction to his 'magic' (his horourable resolve) and Merlin's reaction to losing Arthur (darkest anguish) are exactly spot-on in a beautifully crafted story taking one of the staples of Merlin fandom - the magic reveal/discovery - and giving it a fantastic and well written twist.

A fic I'm only too delighted to take the van to first...
