Summary: “I’m the king,” Arthur says grumpily, swallowing around the stone that has settled in his throat, “I can wear what I want.”
“What about what I want?”
“I’m the king,” Arthur repeats slowly, since Merlin is being particularly thick, “and so you can also wear what I want.”
Or, Arthur dresses Merlin, which goes about as well as you would expect.

Title: A Faire Fight

Creator Notes: Dear Alehalebane, congratulations, your prompt made me break my initial resolution to only claim one really short prompt — but I couldn’t just let the chance to write low-stakes fight scenes pass me by! So here we are, I ignored my own rules, but I’m really happy to have been able to claim your prompt. I hope you like how it turned out!
Summary: Arthur caught sight of Merlin when there were maybe fifteen of them left. He faltered, jaw dropping open, and it was pure luck the man charging at him had terrible aim, or he would’ve failed out of the melee right then and there. Pulling himself together, he made quick work of his attacker, before putting some distance between himself and the others to collect himself. And, perhaps, to stare just a little.
Merlin was… magnificent. He wielded his sword like an extension of his own body — a lesson most of Arthur’s knights had never truly mastered. His movements were quick and precise, yet fluent, graceful in a way Arthur had never seen before, as he landed disqualifying hits on two, three, four opponents in rapid succession.
Or: The one where Merlin brings a returned Arthur to a medieval faire and they fight in a tournament.
