The Long Way (Little Lionheart Remix) by anon @ camelotremix
Merlin/Arthur, Merlin/Mordred (minor) | 9k | Nc-17
Summary: Arthur and Merlin were on the verge of a magically kinky love affair--if only Merlin had known it. One misstep and Merlin must find a way back to what he should have had with Arthur.

This is a remix of I Would Find a Way by marguerite_26 (ie: my merlin_holidays 2012 fic for Amph). So, yes, remix of my fic, so my love of this is biased. Biased as the day is long. That doesn’t make it not perfectly valid, because this remix is amazing. Joining remix I thought maybe this fic might be chosen and a sex-ilogue written (the fic was crying out for it). But this, I hadn’t even considered this. The original was about an older version of Merlin travelling through time to fix a past mistake. That story was from the young Merlin’s pov, and how he was able to open his mind and make the changes needed. This is tale told from older version of Merlin living through that 'big mistake'. And it’s more heartwrenching, more romantic, more engaging than the original. What I love about this remix is that it takes one aspect of the story (something the original mentioned, but gave few details of) and explored it fully. While telling it’s own story, it helped the reader understand the motivations of Arthur’s actions mentioned in the original story. And it did so beautifully. While I fully believe that this fic stands on it’s own and there is no need to read the original, I think the story of the original is far more complete with the existence of this remix.

Little Steps (The "It Started Out Like This..." Remix) by anon @ camelotremix
Bradley/Colin | 2k | PG-13 [with naked-chested art]
Summary: Colin's an enigma, until he isn't. Bradley figures it out in steps.

This is a remix of giselleslash’s completely adorable It Started Out Like This…. It feels like I haven’t read B/C in ages, and this was so, so delightful. I miss these two terribly. Loved this sweet story, and the fanart... Colin, sitting naked at a piano. This fanart is just stunning and a perfect compliment to both fics. So happy making. :D
