    Summary

    Arthur burst into the library at an obscenely late hour, clad in his nightclothes.

    “Can I help you, sire?” Geoffrey tried his best not to give away the fact he’d been sleeping at his desk.

    “Magic!” the king barked. “I need books on magic.”

    Summary

    At first, it hadn’t crossed his mind- not really- that Merlin may have such a distinct and specific taste in men. It had all fallen into place when one fateful afternoon, Merlin spoke about some Greek hero, some ancient, Hellenic lad by the name of Achilles.

    or,

    In which Arthur wants to look like Achilles to win Merlin's heart, but of course, he's missing the whole point.

    Summary

    Oh, Mighty Peace! Where art thou?
    Arthur’s palms reeked of sourmetal. He pulled down the apparition of his tent, blocking out the rest of the scene, the war, the knights, his victory. Damn. He had, at long last, accomplished in bringing the five kingdoms together, hadn’t he? But in that moment, it meant nothing to him.
    Before him stood Merlin, hands on his hips, refusing to meet his gaze.

    or,

    Merlin tries to throw himself to his death mid-battle, trying to evade his immortality.

    Summary

    Yes, Merlin was absolutely certain that he was content to admire Arthur from afar -- right up until he returned from six weeks at the Los Angeles office with a bit of stubble and his golden hair just an inch longer than usual.

     

     

    Arthur grows his hair out and stops shaving. Merlin loses his damn mind.

    Summary

    “Tell me you want it- me, this, us. Arthur, please. We’re a thousand miles, hell, a thousand years away from the day that we started. And I’m- I’m standing here, with you, just trying to be honest. If honesty,” His breath caught, and he found himself suddenly unable, unwilling to say the inevitable.
    He pushed through.
    “If honesty means telling you the truth? Then I’m still in love with you.”

    Summary

    “Y’know Arthur, you can’t keep going on like this,” Merlin said. It was as good a time as any to finally get into the messy stuff.

    “I can and I will, Merlin,” Arthur said, lifting the wine again in defiance. 

    “Stop- stop with that bloody bottle,” Merlin tried to swipe the liquor. “You’re already drunk enough as it is.”

    Arthur kept the glass infuriatingly out of Merlin’s reach in his opposite hand. Usually Merlin found a drunk Arthur hilarious, but this time he couldn’t focus on anything but the cold pit in his stomach.

    “I will be drunk enough when I say I’m drunk enough….” Arthur took another swig and nodded silently for a moment. “Okay now I’m drunk enough.”

    Merlin snatched the bottle and put it far out of Arthur’s reach.


    Arthur Pendragon is not taking his father's death and subsequent Kinghood as well as he thought he could, but he can't very well let the whole kingdom know it. And the whole kingdom just so happens to literally mean every single person, including his friends. Luckily, Merlin is having none of it and with a tip from Gwen that maybe Arthur isn't doing very well that night, he goes to comfort the stubborn prat if it's the last thing he does.
