Summary
In his boisterous youth, winter had a way of driving Arthur near to insanity as the biting cold turned the training grounds inhospitable for activity. Servants hurried between alcoves and lords cosied up with their bedwarmers, reluctant to part from their comforts. Arthur himself never had one; he never quite liked the idea of another person in his bedchambers.
Now, slipping under the covers sleep-warmed by his consort, Arthur can admit to himself in the privacy of his mind that there was always merit to a distinctly human bedwarmer.

Summary
In a flash of motion the blade of Excalibur rests against the hollow of Merlin's neck.
‘You are not fighting back,’ Arthur breathes with the shock and disgust a man can only feel when expecting pain and not receiving it, ‘is it out of trust, or do you truly not care if you die?’
‘If it is by your hand, I would make no attempt to stop it’ Merlin replies, breathing just as heavy, a small shake of his head and scrunch of his brow - as if the answer were obvious. If this was what the king wanted - if this was how a destiny ends - for once in his life Merlin would comply with the order freely.
-------
During a bandit attack Arthur discovers Merlin's magic.
How will this change them? Or have they already changed too much for it to matter?Can you truly hide who you are, or are you doomed to be known?

Summary
Arthur has always taken Merlin on every mission — unarmoured, untrained, endlessly reckless.
It never used to matter.
But lately, every danger feels sharper. Every close call lasts too long.
And Merlin is starting to notice the way Arthur hovers… and how the prince’s worry is beginning to look a lot like something else.
A slow-burn story about devotion disguised as duty, love revealed through quiet choices, and the people who become home when the world turns dangerous.
Love wins — even when it has to fight for it.
Written with a companion playlist (linked in the notes) :)
