    Summary

    When Gwaine finds himself in a bind and can’t attend his latest gig as a pretend rental boyfriend, he begs Merlin to cover for him. A certain blond is worried about how his father would react to him bringing a boyfriend home for Christmas but doesn’t want to subject a real boyfriend to the potential backlash. With the amount of money being offered, and Merlin’s conscience reminding him that this is the first time the reason for a rental boyfriend makes perfect sense, Merlin can’t bring himself to let Gwaine - or the client - down.

    Summary

    After Arthur disobeyed his father and retrieved the Mortaeus flower for Merlin's cure, Arthur's frantic pleading to save Merlin led to a misunderstanding that actually convinced Uther to take the flower to Gaius.

    Now all Arthur has to do is explain to Merlin why Uther thinks they are lovers.

    And while Uther is supportive of the relationship, he requires it kept secret. But in his paranoia, Uther misinterprets every innocent interaction between the two as something far more intimate, to the embarrassment of everyone involved.

    And then the knights begin showing up...

    Update 27/04/2024: This is long and in-process. So consider a break between story arcs!

    Arc 3 - (chapters 71+, in progress) What happens when your father invites every eligible woman to Camelot so you can find your wife like you promised in exchange for saving Merlin? Chaos.

    Summary

    When a deeply-closeted Arthur Pendragon finally earns a spot in Camelot's first XI, he's dead set on breaking records, not one of sport's last taboos. But life, like football, is a funny old game, and sometimes the only way up is out. Especially once he realises he's arse over tit for the new physio.

    A queer Arthurian tale of courage, love, and football.
