Summary
“When I first learned of the prophecy, they said I was the most powerful of all. Many believed I could have anything I ever wanted. And yet, I never thought I could have you.”
“You can have everything”, Arthur breathed out, holding onto Merlin’s hands as if he would fall to his knees again any second without their support.
“Everything I have is yours. Everything I am is yours”, he sighed out with such a heavy tone as if he had been waiting to utter these words for a decade.
He probably had.
-----------------------------
Or: Athur had been exhausted for weeks, attempting to save the remnants of his kingdom after surviving Camlann. When one night, Merlin jokingly puts on the king's crown, Arthur can't help but fall to his knees.

Summary
“I need to take off your shirt. Do you think you can sit up for me?” He really didn't want to make him move, but things would go much more smoothly that way. “At least long enough to get it off, then you can lay back down, I promise.”
“Okay, but only because you promise,” Merlin never expected such a cheeky answer from him in this state, but Arthur rose up. It was a slow process, but he made it with Merlin's help.
He was unsteady, and he looked to Merlin like he was his one and only guide. His gaze told Merlin that he was listening, watching, and waiting. Waiting to do whatever Merlin told him to do. Which was so unfathomably unlike Arthur.
*I've made the smallest edit here, I just lengthened the scene where Arthur gets slapped a little. I had a scene in my head that I couldn't get out, but it wasn't enough to make a whole second fic for*

Summary
“Think about it, ladies and gentlemen,” the auctioneer crowed. “Just imagine! A prince bowing at your feet! Serving you. In any manner you wish!”
The implications of the last statement sent shudders into his body and the crowd rose in volume and even more in price.
Arthur shut his eyes. This was him now. A slave. His past life forgotten save for the appeal of selling him off to a new master. He had tried to escape so many times and had the scars to count them, but he could escape no more now. He had accepted it months ago.
Suddenly, a voice rose.
“Twelve hundred gold pieces.”
And the crowd fell into a hush.

Summary
Detective Arthur Pendragon doesn’t believe in ghosts – until one starts following him home. A routine investigation at a druid burial site leaves him accidentally engaged to Merlin, a very annoyed, very dead activist with unfinished business. Now, Arthur has two choices: ignore the bond and ensuing bad luck, or get very comfortable being haunted by his sarcastic, spectral fiancé.
(Murder investigations. Unwanted soul bonds. Questionable supernatural bureaucracy. Arthur’s having a terrible few weeks and Merlin is loving it.)

Summary
Arthur was used to being trotted out by Uther as Camelot’s shiny, young ambassador. Though he didn’t care much for Cenred, he certainly wasn’t afraid of him. No, it wasn’t Essetir that bred knots in his stomach.
For reasons that Arthur did not yet understand, it was the humble village of Ealdor that loomed specterlike over the journey ahead.
When a diplomatic visit to Cenred's kingdom takes Arthur and Merlin through Ealdor, Arthur must confront a secret he has kept from himself since Merlin arrived in Camelot.
