Summary
“I said,” Merlin enunciates, rolling his eyes. He gets a knee over Arthur’s thigh, pressing it into the mattress and fixing the perch of his glasses. “What’s wrong with my glasses?”
Arthur gapes at him, before dropping onto his pillow with a sigh as he stares up at the ceiling. What has this night come to? He was supposed to go over his report and then sleep. And then came Merlin, complaining about the fucking water pressure, dripping wet and smelling like that with his low slung pyjamas and utter lack of respect for Arthur’s sanity, taking over his mind and night. Arthur can’t have one second of peace.
.
Arthur notices Merlin smells nice. He then can’t stop noticing and nearly loses his mind about it.

Summary
Merlin hums, making Arthur look back at him and Gods—Arthur already knows what he’s going to say even before his plush lips can grace the shape of the syllables. And yet, it hits him all the same, the gut punch of words delivered by a man whose praise seems worth its weight in gold.
Merlin leans in closer, breath almost ghosting along Arthur’s skin as the binds come undone.
“Good boy.”
.
All the times Merlin calls Arthur a good boy and the times Arthur seeks it out, then what happens when the praise stops.

Summary
Never in his royal tutelage was he told what to do when slimy, slithering men insinuate that he seeks company that isn’t his husband. Why did no one think to prepare him for this?
“Your silence betrays your guilt, Pendragon,” Rodreck grins, and then raises his hands in placation. “Don’t worry, we certainly won’t tell. It’s only natural to have a few sweet things tucked away. A squire here, a stableboy there, a handful of whores when the mood calls for it.”
And finally, Arthur has had enough.
.
In which Arthur has to sit through yet another feast when he would rather be with Merlin, only this one is made much worse when his guests begin asking questions about his consort, and then about his loyalty to said consort. What follows after the feast is a collapse onto the bed as Arthur spends the rest of his night in Merlin’s arms.

If my secret had a secret would your secret be negated or would it grow instead? by Merlioske

Summary
Arthur had always trained to be the best. He did his work, then did some more and then more still. Yet, his father's eyes never glowed in pride. He was never... Good enough. Never strong or fast enough. Never Alpha enough. He had accepted it. Accepted, that, being born a beta, a beta *Prince* he'd have to work all that much more to prove his worth. He had. But why was it so hard?
Merlin never had it easy. But he had his mam, he had his Will and screw the rest, really. Except then, out of the blue, Puberty hit. Now Merlin has it *worse*. Camelot is /not/ a smart place to be. For a secret sorcerer. For a secret, peasant sorcerer. For a secret, peasant, *Alpha* sorcerer. But, well, he'll just keep his head down, learn a healing trade and nothing bad will happen.

Summary

In doing so, Morgana planned to show Arthur all that he was, except… what if he didn’t experience the disgust she expected? What if Arthur realised all that he had missed?
What if… Merlin suffered only for everything to change upon his rescue?

Summary
Merlin opened and closed his mouth twice before he found his voice. “Rowan, I think there’s been a misunderstanding.”
Rowan frowned, “Oh, my apologies. Are you not at the betrothed stage yet? When you do, please send me a letter so I can give you my heartfelt congratulations.”
Arthur grimaced, “The thing is, Merlin and I aren’t a couple.”

Summary
The wind changed.
There was something unright about the black wolf. Golden-eyed, whip-thin. Too long of snout and limb. Among the trees, he might have been a shadow thrown by a wholly different creature–or, from the angle of the light, by Arthur himself.
Arthur had never seen him; Arthur knew him. It couldn't be, and wouldn't be beneath the sun. But it was Wolf Moon now, and Arthur's pack was somewhere in the woods, going on without him, while Arthur stood frozen as a deer, naked paws on the leaf litter, naked fur beneath the white moon, too exposed away from the safety of the brush–because he was a fool who charged in, because he was the apex predator in these woods, until he wasn't.
As prince of the Camelot wolf pack, Arthur has fought his entire life to be worthy of his title and his father's pride. When he meets a strange wolf with a too-familiar scent on the first full moon of the new year, he must decide what's really worth fighting for.

Summary
A group of Camelot knights stop by Ealdor on their way to meet with King Cenred and Merlin can't help but notice one of them in particular - not difficult as he seems to notice Merlin too. His magic certainly seems to have some opinions about it.
But he's only passing through, so best forget it and move on, right?

Summary
When Gwaine told Merlin that he would sponsor him for the Social Season, he just laughed in his face.
When Gwaine just smiled back mischievously, he started to worry.
***
Merlin unwittingly becomes a candidate in the traditional royal race to win Arthur's heart and marry him. Apparently, Gwaine was right when he'd said that the line between genius and insanity was a very fine one.

Summary
Life as a newly bitten werewolf is kind of terrible, especially when Merlin gets captured by hunters. It’s not exactly the way he expected his life to go when he moved to London, and he really wishes he could make all of it disappear. Instead, he ends up being rescued by a pack of werewolves with a slew of problems of their own, including an inner power struggle, hunters and rumours of... well, Merlin doesn’t know, exactly, but it’s not good.

Summary
Arthur huffed, then put on his most commanding voice. “You have to pay attention to me, I’m the king, I demand it.”
Some of the effect of a direct order was lost by the picture Arthur made on the floor, blinking pitifully up through dark eyelashes, but, in fairness, a wholly different effect was gained.
Merlin finally inclined his head to look down on his king. “And does doing all your work for you not count as attention?”
“Obviously not,” Arthur pouted, resting his chin on one of Merlin’s knees. “I want you to look at me, I want you to touch me.”
“Oh,” Merlin teased with wide eyes and brushed Arthur’s hair back from his face. “So that’s what this is about.”
“No!” Arthur was defensive. “…Not entirely.” He laid his head against the inside of Merlin’s thigh. “I just miss you.”Bookmarked by Taybug13
