Summary
"He's just a servant."
"He is mine!"
"No." Uther took in Arthur’s unrepentant claim and stormy gaze, and a chill swept through him. "No, Arthur, tell me you didn't."
Dragon blood ran through the Pendragon line. Not enough to taint them with the evil of magic, but to carry through and amplify draconic traits in their human nature that made them better, sharper. It also drove them to hoard one thing above all else. Uther had chosen well to hoard power, but Arthur -
Arthur couldn't have chosen people as his hoard. He'd taught his son better than that.

Summary
“There is no way in hell I’m dressing up as a woman,” Merlin huffed, crossing his arms stubbornly as his breath fogged up in the cold air.
“Come on, you have to!” Gwaine pleaded, pulling his best puppy eyes.
“Why? So that Arthur can call me a girl some more?”
The prince made a face. “First of all, calling you a girl has nothing to do with your feminine figure and everything to do with how you’re an absolute pansy!” Percival laughed, earning a threatening glare from Merlin. “Second of all, you’re not doing this for me, you’re doing this for the good of all of us.”
“Hear that, Merlin?” Gwaine piped up. “All of us. This is the future of Camelot we’re talking about! We’re going to catch our deaths out here if you don’t do it!”
“Gwaine,” Leon sighed, dragging a hand down his face. “Please stop.”
Merlin grinned “Thank you Leon—"
“You’re not going to convince him by pressuring him or taunting him.” The red headed knight turned to Merlin, a pleading expression on his face. “We request this of you humbly, Merlin. Please dress up as a woman.”

Summary
Merlin and Arthur just moved into their new home—and they have no intention of keeping it clean.
With every room fair game and every limit pre-discussed, Arthur spends an entire day stretching, stuffing, and worshiping his fiancé across floors, walls, and furniture until Merlin’s wrecked beyond recognition. From rimming at the front door to soft, aching love in their bed by nightfall, they christen each surface with sweat, spit, and trust.
It’s filthy. It’s sacred. It’s everything they wanted.
By the time they reach the bedroom, there’s not a single part of the house—or Merlin—that hasn’t been thoroughly broken in.

“I take it some other handsome suitor has caught your fancy, then?”
A peculiar resolve then seemed to fall upon Merlin. The corner of his mouth tugged upward into a coy half-smile, and he sighed as though resigning himself to something inevitable.
“Devastatingly handsome.”
OR
Arthur finds out Merlin has ended his FWB arrangement with Gwaine. Turns out he has his eyes on somebody else.

Summary
“You’re horrible,” Morgana hisses at him quietly enough than only he and Gwen will hear, tugging at his cloak until it sits better across his shoulders. Her face never changes from her pleasant smile. Terrifying. “Straighten your back, you will not slouch! Gwen, tell him not to slouch!”
“Your Majesty,” Gwen says sweetly, “please do not slouch.”
“I highly doubt he’ll be looking at me,” Arthur drawls, “when he’s come all this way to marry you.”
(Arthur loses his father's trust, but he gains something better.)

Two secrets. Four years. One heat that changes everything — and a discovery, months later, that changes everything again.
Merlin really should have asked Gaius more questions about that contraceptive tea.

Summary
Arthur in Ealdor was like a tame lion at the dinner table: you weren't necessarily worried you were going to get torn to pieces, but it was still dangerous, decidedly out of place, and made the neighbors nervous.

Summary
“Merlin,” Arthur grumbled to his servant, who was sitting by the fire Merlin looks over his shoulder at Arthur curled up in his bedroll. “Get over here, it’s cold.”
“You want me to come and cuddle you for warmth?” Merlin asked, tauntingly, but makes to stand up anyway.
“It’s not cuddling,” Arthur insisted, though he opens his arms for Merlin to crawl into them. “It’s called survival. I’m stealing your warmth. It’s your duty to make sure I’m kept comfortable, is it not?”
~~~
Arthur doesn't realise Merlin is his Favourite. Merlin has no idea what a King's Favourite even is. Everyone else in Camelot knows Merlin is Arthur's Favourite.

Summary
In the morning, Merlin knows, Arthur will don his crown again. But for now their world is only Arthur’s drowsy kisses, and Merlin tracing circles on Arthur’s bare chest, and the night outside is deep and dark and still. There are no conspiracies, no dragons, no prophecies relentlessly unraveling.
Merlin wishes, selfishly, that dawn might never come.
(And the dawn obeys.)

Summary
He'd never made a mistake in front of a superior, rarely took ill, is never late, and always, always, acting in the best interest of Camelot.
Until today.
Leon hadn't meant to bash Merlin over the head and run off into the woods with him, honest! It just sort of... happened.
(or, Merlin and Leon are bonded by their shared, holy devotion to King Arthur. But when Merlin must reveal his magic during a fight, the rule-abiding knight panics and kidnaps Merlin to protect him from the pyre.)

Summary
When they arrive at the kingdom Merlin can already tell something’s wrong.
Which isn’t great because now the others can tell that he feels something wrong and he’s being an inconvenience because they have more important things to focus on.
He tries telling Lancelot that when the knight notices he’s falling behind a little bit but Lancelot just has him breathe a few times and tells him that if it’s worrying him, they’ll listen.
He tries telling Arthur that but Arthur just listens to him patiently and assures them they’ll keep their eyes open, thank you for being on guard.
Which is rude because Arthur says it in the gentle voice that he only uses for Merlin and he has to smile at Merlin like he’s something precious and something to be protected and Merlin is far too overwhelmed with actual panic right now to worry about gay panic.
In which lords are crafty, truth spells are pesky, and secrets don't hurt as much as we thought.

Summary
“What did you do now Merlin?”
“Got cursed.”
Merlin slumped into the room and fell onto the bench of the table across from Gaius, laying his head dramatically on a book of something or other Arthur didn’t bother to look too closely at.
“Cursed.” Gaius echoed, unimpressed.
“Cursed.” Merlin sighed back, like some kind of weepy maiden.
“He can’t lie,” Arthur supplied, walking further into the room and standing behind Merlin, pushing his head off the book roughly. Merlin squawked and glared at him before shaking his head and turning back to Gaius.
"It gets worse."

Summary
Started off as my answer to Tumblr's @merthurmicrofic prompt: Touch
Again, my ability to understand Micro fails me.
Like really fails me, second chapter destroyed microfiction dreams.Merlin meets Lance's group of Alpha friends, and find they're all very big on touch.
Well, all it seems, except Arthur.Just simple cuteness, no 18+ content. Tonnes of swearing though, and some insinuations, but no actual sex.
Now with second chapter Arthur's POV
And kissing, because as a commenter rightfully pointed out, no kissing was unacceptable.
Happy Reading!Series

Summary
Arthur is born alpha. So is Merlin.
They butt heads like no one else in all of Camelot.
Then as Merlin started to serve and grow fond of the blond royal prat, his body started shifting.The books called it reclassification, a rare collapse of dominance under emotional strain.
Gaius called it falling in love.
-OR-
In other words, Merlin is being reclassified to an omega due to a certain royal alpha. And Arthur takes notice.Bookmarked by tik
