God these AO3 scam comments are getting more believable. All that targeted good commentary and it still turns out to be a "get you to a secondary location to make you commission them" scam 😑 #AO3

The image is a collage with a dark green background adorned with subtle floral patterns. The top left consists of a detailed, high-contrast skull positioned against blurred skeletal remains. The top right showcases an open cave with a soft beam of light falling onto a circular stone platform in a dark pool. The bottom left features a close-up of Arthur Pendragon with tousled blond hair, dressed in armor, conveying shock. The adjacent section shows Merlin dressed in a brown jacket and red scarf, gazing directly at the viewer. Finally, the bottom right displays a black snake coiled amid smooth gray pebbles, providing a tactile contrast against the stone and water elements.

A picture of the original CSI team. The woman at the forefront (Catherine Willows) has shoulder-length blond hair and is wearing a dark blazer. To her left is a man in a suit (Captain Brass), with a serious expression and short hair. The man to her right, (Gil Grissom) dressed in black, has a somber look and short grey hair. He is clean shaven. In the back row, a woman (Sarah Sidle) with dark, wavy hair appears serious, alongside a man (Warrick Brown), who has natural, curly hair and brown skin. Nick Stokes is the last figure. He has short dark hair, a dark shirt and looks grim. The lighting is soft, and various laboratory equipment is faintly visible in the background.
