    Summary

    “Come home,” Arthur was standing in front of Merlin, hands halfway extended to the brunet, begging. Arthur was begging. For Merlin. Merlin thought he might faint.

    OR

    That one where Arthur is spelled to fall in love with Merlin, my finger slipped and here we are, 8 thousand words later.

    Summary

    It wasn’t a secret at all that Arthur could barely manage to keep a servant for more than a week. The man cycled through them like socks, firing them as fast as he hired them.

    So when the people of Camelot had heard of the new stranger who sacrificed his life to save Arthur becoming his new servant, sure they thought it was weird, but they knew he’d be gone by the end of the month.

    And come the second month where Merlin was still his manservant, of course they began to have questions.

    ~~~

    Or the five times someone noticed there was more to Arthur and Merlin's relationship + the one time Arthur does something about it.

    Summary

    “All I do know is that I had help. Someone knew I was in trouble and…sent a light To guide the way.”

    And so someone had. And that someone seemed to come back, over and over again.

    Summary

    When a curse spells death, Merlin wants nothing more than to leave behind as little pain as possible. He figures some would miss him, but most wouldn't really care. He does not comprehend the grief he will leave behind. Why would he? There was no way that Arthur loved him as much as Merlin loved him. Right?

    Summary

    My answer to Tumblr's @merthurmicrofic prompt: Family (Or at least that's how it started off. I'll have to somehow shorten it to fill that prompt.)
    I've lost sight of the meaning of "microfic"

    Merlin, Arthur and his Knights are en route to speak with a Magic encampment, when they're ambushed.

    The battle is bloody, and they're going to lose.

    Then Merlin does what Merlin does. And Arthur must decide what to do about that.
