    Summary

    It was comforting to think there was a point of no return—a moment at which his actions were no longer his own and every step back here was inevitable. The only question, then, was how long ago this point had been passed.

    He pulled his flip phone from his jacket and, painstakingly, using number buttons to make letters, typed:

    'hey. come outside.'

    No response. It was 3:34 in the morning, Armin figured.

    He was definitely still up.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Please read this. I'm begging you. You like yearning? You've never felt yearning like this. Good lord. I'm not the same as I was before reading this.

    Summary

    It’s better money than donating blood plasma down at the hospital (he’s done that, he’s donated absolutely everything you can donate, it’s easy money, your body is free), and if he wasn’t doing this, he’d be sucking cock for a living. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

    Summary

    Merlin, for all his acting, must be wicked, as all sorcerers were. An echo of a soul, designed to trick with garbled words. Perhaps the cruellest thing, the proof of his depravity, was that he would make Arthur feel this way.

    His twisted magic must be the reason he was reduced to a quivering, lonely mess straining against his own hand. Better that he should be used and commanded! How dare Merlin reduce him to a yearning servant and then not touch him?

    Summary

    “He’s terrible,” Merlin told Gwen in a candlelit alcove hidden near the servants entrance to the great hall.
    //
    “He’s terrible,” Arthur lamented to the empty air, sprawled out on his neatly made bed beneath the dim moon.

    Or: After a whirlwind day of hosting nobility and feasting, Arthur pines for something he can't quite verbalize and Merlin would like a little gratitude.
