    Summary

    Merlin was a sincere little puzzle-box, and Arthur wanted nothing more than to take him apart, and perhaps even see how best to put him back together. He didn't realize that Merlin might be the key to his own heart.

    An anti-reveal/pre-reveal fic. There is also fun with an enchanted boar, pre-Round Table Knights, and more fallout from The Curse of Cornelius Sigan. Oh, and smut. Lots of smut.

    Summary

    Merlin's back from a semester in Cornwall and road-tripping through the West with Gwen when she drags him to a local rodeo. He expects boredom, maybe sunburn, definitely nachos. What he doesn’t expect is Arthur Pendragon: Cheyenne, Wyoming’s golden boy and rodeo champion.

    One awkward ride home, one too-small truck cab, and one very complicated cowboy later, Merlin's night ends somewhere between a steering wheel and a hard place.

    Summary

    Merlin carves himself into Arthur’s soul while the song of summer trails behind them in the sultry air; while the trees haggle with the sun over the price of autumn — separation. Arthur will forever remember this week in which he obtained his heart’s desire and had it ripped away from him.

    Summary

    Arthur’s hands didn’t wait for his own permission once they had Merlin’s, and they began instantly the essential work of memorizing the feel of Merlin’s body changed. He didn’t fight the magnetism that drew him first to trace the long line that drew all the way across Merlin’s ribcage before running flattened palms up over the straight lines and hard muscle of his chest.
    “Sorry you didn’t get to say goodbye,” Merlin quipped, and though his voice was still quiet and shaky, it almost sounded like he had managed a joke.
    Arthur shook his head as his hands traveled across Merlin’s broad shoulders and trailed through the coarse, dark hair on his chest and down his arms. His voice was distracted. “Don’t be, you’re perfect.”
