    Summary

    “You-” Ygraine said, stepping up to point a finger in Uther’s face. “You are a liar and a murderer. The fact you think someone as sweet and caring as Vivienne is destined to marry you is a tragedy in itself, but if you expect me to hand over my brother’s rightful claim to Camelot’s throne-”

    My claim to Camelot’s throne,” Uther threw back, face growing more red as Arthur looked between his parents in utter bewilderment. Merlin didn’t blame him. He had envisioned Uther and Ygraine’s love story to be more… well, less based in war and battles.

    Ygraine’s eyes narrowed as she grabbed a goblet of wine and threw it in Uther’s face. A few of the guards shifted, but Uther only raised a hand to pause them, spitting out the wine with furious eyes.

    “You,” Ygraine said coldly. “Are unworthy to sit upon a stool, let alone a throne.”

    From a few feet away, Balinor scoffed as he sipped from his own goblet. “I kind of like having her as a hostage, Uther. She livens up the place.”

    Or

    In a desperate attempt to save Arthur at Camlann, Merlin tries to reverse time. It works perhaps a tad too well.

    Summary

    British weather strikes again!

    After the wettest December on record, grumpypants-with-a-heart-of-gold Prince Arthur and his totally-not-gorgeous-or-attractive PA, Merlin, get stuck in a little village on the way to a Christmas charity event, with no transport and no accommodation except for a small, cosy inn.

    With all the other people stranded by the same flooding, there's only one room free.

    And it only has one bed…

    Whilst they wait to be rescued, Arthur has a Christmas to remember as he discovers the important things in life, and Merlin finds out that his surly, irritable boss isn’t half as bad as he seems.

    A story of flooding, service, snowball fights, and love.

    Summary

    Merlin is the perfect boyfriend - sweet, caring, sexy. And he's Arthur's best friend.

    When Merlin suddenly announces that he doesn't want to date right now, it's Arthur who benefits from Merlin's newfound spare time. From friendly dinner dates to watching movies to all the little gestures - where does the friendzone end and something else begin?

    In hindsight, maybe his best friend kissing him on the kiss-cam at a rugby game should have clued Arthur in?

    *-*
    A classical university take on "Didn't Know they were Dating", written for Prompt #22, Kiss cam! from Merlin Fluffalooza 2021

    Summary

    "Well, how did you know I would..." Arthur seemed to search for the words. "React positively?"

    It was now Merlin’s turn to scoff. “Oh please, Arthur, you’re not as sly as you think. When I took off my neckerchief, you turned puce.”

    “That should be illegal." Arthur flushed red. "I shouldn’t have to see your neck.”

    Or, Merlin and Arthur start hooking up around the end of s1, after they’ve both, in a completely platonic way, decided the other is worth dying for. This situation is just a FWB one, not at all romantic, right? Right?

    (OR or; author explores Merlin's crazy fucking devotion to Arthur, and Arthur's crazy devotion to Merlin. They're so codependent.)
