    Summary

    Batman's heartbeat keeps speeding up whenever Clark is around. For instance: when Clark greets him, half-naked, on a Gotham rooftop. Or when he uses his superstrength to save a busload of schoolchildren. Or sometimes even just when he smiles.

    Clearly the poor man is terrified of him.

    Summary

    Drool pools in Arthur’s mouth, trickling past his tongue and hitting the ground with a grotesque splat. Followed by another. And another. He’d be embarrassed if he weren’t so damn hungry. He eyeballs the ill-guarded sandwich and wonders if he could sneak close enough to pilfer it.

    The young man raises his head and visibly jolts at the sight of the big dog mere steps away from him.

    Now, it’s Arthur’s turn to jolt in surprise. Because he knows this face.

    It’s Merlin Emrys.

    -

    OR: As punishment for being an absolute tosser, Arthur is turned into a dog.

    Summary

    'The damage seemed to spread out from him like ripples on a pond, and it felt like a gift, like a blessed reprieve to find something that affected only him. The hunger was the one choice he could make that hurt no one, endangered no one, nudged no prophecies with clumsy elbows. Besides, having a secret was nothing new. The revelation was having one that didn’t matter.'

    Merlin doesn’t eat properly, but he doesn't think it's a problem. Arthur disagrees.

    (Scenes on a theme, before, during and after Arthur finds out.)

    Summary

    “It has its roots in a legend from the east, sire. I believe it’s called the red string of fate.”

    “Fate?” Arthur said incredulously. “What, is he going to be the one to kill me?”

    “Getting more likely by the minute,” Merlin supplied.

    “Shut up, Merlin.”

    Gaius held up a weary hand. “Legend has it that the string connects people to the person with whom they are most compatible.” There was a beat of silence.

    “You have got to be kidding me.”

    Summary

    A whore is not someone you attempt to woo or charm. A whore is not someone you should strive to impress. A whore is someone whose opinion matters very little. Someone you rent for a bit of fun and release. You just put money on the table and they get to say yes or no – and for the record, they seldom say no. So a whore is no one to pine for. Which is just as well, because Arthur isn’t pining for anyone.

    And certainly not anyone who’ll disappear off with any random knight for the right amount.
