      “...He knew.” In that moment, Arthur finally understood. “He knew what would happen. He knew he was going to-” He stood quickly, kicking his chair back so hard it tipped over, and began to pace. “He knew . And he still went out there. I never should have shown him that damned Gem. I should have watched him closer. I shouldn’t have…” ‘ Don’t let me down.’ “It’s my fault, Leon. I shouldn’t have pushed him so hard. I should have protected him. I should have-” His spiral was cut short by Leon grabbing him and pulling him close, pushing Arthur’s head into his shoulder and holding him close. Arthur stood tense, but didn’t pull away.

      “He didn’t say goodbye. He knew , and he didn’t say goodbye.”

    Summary

    Arthur, already irritated because he has somehow acquired a strange mark on his chest, is less than pleased when his father sends him to meet with an elf-prince. So it’s probably a good thing he does not know that he has been summoned under false pretenses that have very little to do with peace treaties and everything to do with the strange mark on his chest.

    Summary

    Sir Thomas had taken a step forward and before he knew it, Merlin was face first in the dirt, one arm twisted cruelly behind him and held down by a knee to the centre of his back. Merlin’s head was spinning, and his cheek—where it was shoved into the solid ground—was throbbing painfully. He swallowed thickly and held back the groan of pain that collected at the back of his throat.

     

    “Haven’t you heard, mutt? Servants should be seen and not heard,” Sir Thomas whispered, lowering Merlin’s arm and placing it almost delicately on the ground. Merlin made a move to push himself up, but Thomas’ grip only tightened, holding Merlin’s arm flat on the ground, his knee still jammed into his back. “Now, I think I’m going to teach you a lesson. You’re going to learn to hold that tongue of yours before I cut it out myself, do I make myself clear?”

    -

    While Arthur is away on official Prince business, Merlin gets into a pickle with Sirs’ Thomas, Ronan and Cassius. Unable to retaliate with Magic, Merlin is forced to grin and bear it.

    Summary

    “Er,” Merlin said eloquently. “What would you like?”

    “What I would like,” the man said in a drawl, “is for my barista to not be out on the pull while he’s supposed to be working. Especially if said barista clearly has terrible taste in men.”

    Merlin flushed and glanced back down at his mobile. He really hadn’t been looking closely and if he hadn’t been interrupted, he would probably already have forgotten, but with a comment like that, he was fairly certain that he had just swiped left on his next customer.

    Summary

    Arthur and Merlin are mated, but not everyone's happy about it.

    The boys have to navigate the changes to their relationship while dealing with court life, other peoples opinions and hiding Merlins secret. And survive some bandits, because, obviously, there are bandits.

    And there's someone in the shadows working very hard against them.

    This is the squeal for "Protect Him", I'd recommend reading that before reading this so that you know what's going on.

    Summary

    Given Merlin’s track record he felt himself quite justified in his brutal crushing of any romantic feelings, no matter how vague. Besides, Merlin had a destiny. He had to keep a close watch on Arthur, how could he do that if he was too busy being in love?

    Compared to Merlin, Gwaine opened his heart wholly to anyone willing to peek within, that didn’t mean though that any one person held his heart. No, Gwaine left himself open to any but never let anyone in long enough to take root.

    Merlin refusing to accept that he might possibly have romantic feelings for anyone. Gwaine can't quite figure out why he keeps thinking kissing his best friend until he does. Poor Lancelot is left shaking his head at the two of them. So what if the Perfect Knight tries to push his friends into each others arms? Someone had to do it.

    Summary

    “Is it something we did? Something we said?”

    “Why would it be something any of you did?”

    “Do I really need to answer that?”

    “Yes, I think you do.”

    “Well because you’ve been ignoring us!” Merlin shouts before taking a deeper breath, calming himself. “Whenever you see any of us, you quickly turn away from us. You don’t want to talk to me about the negotiations with the druids anymore, you won’t sit down to talk to me about repealing the magic ban. You won’t talk to Gwen or any of the knights. I feel like there’s a part of you that’s shut us out and I have no idea why you’ve done that."

    Or:

    Arthur has been acting...strange recently, and Merlin wants to know why.
