Summary
“Why not?” Arthur began, shrugging lightly, dismissively “You need blood to live which I have. Why not let you take nourishment from me?”
“You make this absurd suggestion sound so easy.” Merlin replied testily “I could kill you.”
“You could kill me long before this.” Arthur snorted mirthfully, “You spoke of that fact very often actually.”
“Do not jest about this━not about this” Merlin snapped, his voice sounded afraid even to his own ears. He blinked away the tears threatening to fall, his lower lip quivered “I could lose control━lose myself. I will not endanger your life to satisfy my hunger.”
▂
After spending weeks unbearably hungry, Merlin confessed that Gaius’s blood-like potions aren’t curbing his newfound appetite. So, Arthur offered an interesting solution to his problem. The warlock isn’t into the idea at first, but he may grow to relish his lover’s trust.

Summary
“Am I – am I a bad person? Am I evil?”
Gwaine’s heart almost skipped a beat at those words as his mind tried to reconcile them with the person who had uttered them.
Merlin. Evil.
Evil, Merlin.
Merlin, evil?!or
Gwaine, worried about Merlin's well-being, goes back to the cave as Merlin's conversation with the Diamair unrolls a bit differently. Listening in what Merlin thinks to be a private conversation, he learns many things concerning his friend, and discovers one of Merlin's most deeply buried fears: to become evil - or, worse: to already be it. But does it truly work that way?

Arthur is determined to prove that’s not true.

Summary
merlin panted softly to himself as he took a seat on the end of the bed, he’d just finished putting his pajamas on and was already out of breath. his back was sore and his ankles were swollen, while his belly was huge and round with the heir. “-and i told gwaine that if he believed he could outrun me, he was a fool.” arthur laughed low and throaty as he slid off his boots, having just come into their bedroom from a meeting with his knights.
“well, you’re all quite thick.” merlin hummed, steadying his breathing as he rubbed his belly. he was dressed in a simple gown as he slid into bed, holding onto his back as he stretched and laid down. he cleared his throat in an attempt to hide his labored breathing, tiring himself out from being so heavily pregnant.

Summary
Merlin sighed and looked to the side, his shoulders pulling in uncomfortably. Arthur just watched in confusion and didn't understand. At all. “Are you shy?” He asked, because it was the last thing he could think of. He knew Merlin didn't owe him anything. Of course he knew, but he just didn't understand.
“Something... like that.”

Summary
“Erect a barrier from the rain,” Arthur ordered.
He had to bite back a scathing reply about the treatment he’d been receiving all day. It was bad enough that Arthur had forgotten a day that was so important to Merlin but to treat him like he was just some servant rather than his lover.
To act like they’d never been anything more…
Or
It's been one year since Merlin and Arthur began courting, an event Merlin finds incredibly important. Unfortunately, it seems Arthur doesn't share the feeling of importance...
Or does he?

Summary
“You know,” Merlin said, feeling faint, dizzy and exhausted. “Your kidnapping etiquette could do better. You haven’t even offered me a meal yet.”
“Shut the hell up,” Hugo said, throwing a harsh punch into Merlin’s stomach, making the warlock suck in his breath and cough violently.
--
“What if we are unable to find him?” Elyan asked.
“We’ll find him,” Arthur insisted firmly. Leon and Elyan shared a worried look with each other.
“Sire,” Leon said. “We have to consider the possibility though. And think of a plan of action for if he is not found.”
“He will be found,” Arthur said and Leon’s shoulders fell.
“But, Sire-” “That’s enough!” Arthur shouted and his knights fall silent.
~~~
Merlin was kidnapped and tortured for information about Arthur's plan of attack. Arthur goes a little crazy until Merlin is back where he belongs, and then some things are revealed.
