Summary
As a prince and then a king, there have been certain expectations of Arthur. A king is expected to be a leader, to be experienced, both on the battlefield and in the bedroom. As Arthur has grown from a prince into a king, he has done what his knights, his soldiers, even the other nobles expect of him. But he has never truly enjoyed it.
When Arthur lets it slip to Merlin that he doesn’t actually believe most sexual acts to be enjoyable, Merlin takes it upon himself to prove Arthur wrong. What follows for Arthur is the realisation that he is in fact attracted to men, sex in fact can be good and he does in fact have a submissive side.

Summary
Set after the Merlin Series 5 Finale "Diamond of the Day".
Canon Compliant. In Character. Arthur Pendragon Returns.
Cover art by Lao-Pendragon------
For many long years Merlin waited.
For the other part of his soul, for the other half of his life. He was born to serve Arthur. So that meant he was also born to wait. Even if it took a thousand years. Even if the wait seemed never to end.
Until one day, suddenly, it did.
When Arthur stumbles from the Lake of Avalon 1,500 years after his death, he finds a world unlike the one he knew. Faced with the loss of everyone he loved, and the threat of impending prophecy, Arthur must learn what it means to be not just a king, but the Once and Future King. Merlin does all he can to guide him, even as he struggles to hide his love for his king, and his fear of losing him again.
Story includes sass, banter, horseplay, & True Love.

Summary
Clive rarely spared a thought for Cambridge, or Maurice, in particular; for he was a man of practicality, and reminiscing the past did him little good.
