Summary
Prompt: "Arthur counts the days between Merlin's smiles."
Sometimes Arthur doesn’t want to push, but sometimes Arthur burns with the desire to know, to do something. He hates feeling useless, fists clenched tight at his side as whatever plagues Merlin’s thoughts gnaws at him, eating slowly until he’s wan and tired. The smiles return after, like little glimpses of sunlight through a long and dark winter, where everything is right and normal again because Merlin is smiling and happy.

Summary
A fill for this prompt at kinkme_merlin: Merlin goes through a lot of trauma and has gotten very used to hiding it, moving on (or at least appearing to), and coping silently and without anyone noticing, because most of the time no one can know something happened. One day something traumatic happens to him, which everyone knows about, and everyone is waiting for Merlin to snap, only for him to...not. Arthur is caught between worried and suspicious, and sets about to get to the bottom of this.

Summary
You would think given how long he has been waiting for Arthur’s return that it would be something that is on his mind 24/7. It's not. Not anymore. For the first one hundred lives, sure, every day was a torturous wait, each minute slowly ticking by when all he could think was Arthur, Arthur, Arthur…
But it’s been thousands of years, millions of lifetimes, and still he waits. He doesn't think about Arthur every day anymore. In fact, he only thinks about him a few times a year. It might sound callous, but in truth it’s anything but. It’s self-preservation, it’s staving off a longing so bone deep it physically hurts. And on the rare occasions he lets himself think about Arthur, he spends the whole day just sitting there and remembering, allowing the memories to wash over him like the sea, ancient and powerful and all-consuming.Bookmarked by fanaticlore456

Summary
"And here I thought princes were supposed to be romantic." Merlin tilts so that his lips brush Arthur's cheek, a soft drag. "But all right, I suppose insults will have to do."
Arthur moves and snakes his arms around Merlin's waist, and then Merlin's straddling him on his chair. "That's the new thing in Camelot, didn't you hear?"
"What, insult your manservant to get him into bed?" Merlin retorts, but his touch is gentle as he smooths his thumb across Arthur's jaw, the line of it.
