Summary
There was very little gentleness in most of Arthur's physical interactions. He was a warrior, but even outside of that, his role as a leader meant that by necessity he had to maintain a certain distance and decorum that contained a different kind of violence. Sometimes he wondered if the safety of that distance was worth the ache of isolation.
Or: 5 times Arthur noticed Merlin using his gentle hands to tend to his knights and one time Merlin took care of Arthur himself.

Summary
The woman’s striking bright red lips parted in a dramatic gasp as her full cup upended itself over Merlin. It was shockingly hot, immediately seeping into his stupid snowman sweater and staining it brown. He had known it was coming— he had done it on purpose and he was still surprised. Gwen smashed into Merlin from behind and suddenly all four of them were toppling like festive dominoes to the cafe floor.
~~~
Or... the silly morgwen & merthur holiday coffee shop meet-cute microfic that nobody asked for.

Summary
Gwen once saw Merlin lick an apple before giving it to the Prince Regent.
She knew, of course, that he regularly stole food from Arthur’s plate before serving it; Gwen typically didn’t think anything of it. Surely Arthur would have made a fuss years ago, if it bothered him. The two of them had always had a peculiar and certainly unconventional working relationship.

Summary
On a long and winding road midway between the sea and the city, and at the edge of a dense and dark forest, there was a town called Eastgate.
Although Eastgate was by all accounts an ordinary town, there were several things that made it unique. Eastgate had an oddly high proportion of books to the number of inhabitants, a strategic importance that kept nobles interested enough in its security to have appointed a guardian, and a single ancient hawthorn tree.
The tree had been there before Eastgate and as the town had grown, the tree’s presence was honored. It was a symbol and a promise and— some believed— a gateway.
So, when the local innkeepers’ daughter disappears and her dear friend Nina comes to Lady Azira for help, they find themselves standing at the ancient tree and seeking answers from those beyond the Forest.

Summary
“I was wondering if you might come home with me.” Merlin stops mid-rant and stares at him, and then down at his panini again, and back at Arthur. This is a panini of lies and pain. He can tell already.
“For Christmas? I’ve got an uncle and a mother and a sister waiting for me at home, in case you hadn’t remembered, I’m not going home with you just because you’re a workaholic.”
“No, it’s. My mum might be under the impression that we’re a little bit married.”
In which Merlin gets conned into spending Christmas with Arthur's family and pretending to be his husband, because somehow this is his life.
