Summary
She rocked him and fed him, sang to him, held him. Swaddled him tight and soothed him to sleep. She spoke to him, laughed with him, chased him when he began to crawl and toddle. She bathed him and dressed him and kept his nails trimmed. She slept in his room, and then next to it, and her face was the first one he saw each day.

Summary
“There’s something about you, Merlin. If my uncle knew… if he’d even guessed at it, he would never have let you live. He would never have let me have you.”
An ACBB 2025 collab! In this fusion of BBC Merlin and C. S. Pacat's Captive Price trilogy, Agravaine De Bois is Regent of Camelot, formerly Vere, until Arthur Pendragon comes of age. Hardship and famine have struck the land, making it easy for Agravaine's ambition to take hold; a young Akielon dragonlord - the King-Killer - is betrayed and sold into his new slave trade. Arthur and Merlin do what they must both to survive and to meet their destinies.

Summary
“Have I ever been a good manservant?” Merlin asked, because he couldn’t very well say ask me for something else and see what I wouldn’t give to you. It should have been more insulting that this of all things was what finally made Arthur relax.
Merlin confuses a typical favor with one of the gift-giving, courtly variety when Camelot hosts a winter tournament. Arthur tries his hand at courtship.

Summary
Arthur is cursed to obey Merlin’s orders.
Obviously this has very little impact on their lives, since no servant would ever dare give orders to a prince.

Summary
Things are going pretty well for Merlin and Arthur. They've brought peace to the five kingdoms, magic is no longer shadowed by tyranny, and everyone is generally having a good time. Only, Merlin is pretty sure Arthur's going to pack his bags and run away in the middle of the night if one more person asks him why he hasn't taken a queen yet.
They decide to take a few days and travel to Ealdor so Arthur can get away from some of the pressure of being Camelot's king. But little does Merlin know, the revelations they'll have while they're there will follow them back to Camelot and beyond.
In which Arthur tries to be a farmer but ends up more as Merlin's slightly useless house husband.
