Creator Notes: Thank you to LikeAPaperPlane for their excellent prompt - Arthur asking for Merlin's neckerchief before a tournament. I really hope you enjoy the fic
A massive thank you to Excited_Insomniac for not only betaing this for me, but for brainstorming it and helping me to come up with the idea to flesh it out properly. Thank you as well to my wifey MayaPleiades for being the world's best cheerleader.
I hope you all enjoy the story. Comments and kudos are very welcome.
Summary: After five failed attempts (courtesy of his friends' suggestions) to try and show Merlin his true feelings, Arthur decides to listen to his sister and ask Merlin for his favour before the start of a big tournament.
Or 5 times Arthur tried to show Merlin how he felt and 1 time it actually worked.

Word Count: 8,407 words
Warning(s): N/A
Creator Notes (Optional): [As soon as I saw this prompt, I knew that I had to write it. I’m a sucker for these guys in lingerie, but Merlin as a lingerie designer? Demi Arthur?!
Sign me up ASAP!
I had so much fun writing this. I just hope it was up to your expectations, LikeAPaperPlane! I hope you enjoy it, at least!
My beta, Excited_Insomniac, gets the BIGGEST Thanks and hug for looking this over last minute and also for doing a LOT more editing than normal! You’re the best and I owe you a lot!
Disclaimer: I don’t own any part of BBC and Shine’s Merlin. Richer people do.]
Summary: Independent lingerie designer Merlin Emerson spots a nervous model off by himself during a photo shoot and strikes up a conversation with him.
What follows is a snarky response, then a love story that proves that you really can have a relationship without sex

Title: To speak the whole truth (in prayers, words and thoughts)
By: GonEwiththeWolveS / @lexa-gui
Gift for: @likeapaperplane
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Word Count: 11,256 words
Warning(s): Graphic Depictions Of Violence
Summary: Arthur grows quiet, mulling the question over.
“I guess. I do not know him, or his motives. And to be in possession of that much power…” It never ends well, in Arthur’s experience. “Why the interest in Camelot? In me — an arranged marriage? Why would he pursue that after… everything?”
“Maybe you should ask him.”
“Hmm,” Arthur muses. “Maybe I will."
----------
In which an alliance is forged between Camelot and the Druid people to beat back Morgana at Camlann -- one that calls for the union of the Once and Future King, and the High Druid Chieftain, Emrys.

Title: If I'm On Fire, You'll Be Made Of Ashes Too

Summary: “And how is the third spell cured?” Merlin presses, not daring to breathe. He could swear even his heart goes still as he waits.
“By a kiss from the victim’s soulmate,” Gaius replies, looking up to catch Merlin’s unfiltered expression. Merlin had been expecting to slay a beast, or perform a ritual, or track down some ancient healing crystal. He could do those things, in fact he was used to doing them at his point. This, on the other hand.
“But soulmates aren’t real,” Merlin says, brow furrowing. He pictures the fondness in Arthur’s eyes when he looks at Gwen, and the sweet smiles she returns. A deep, aching pressure builds in his chest. “Surely, they aren’t real?”

Creator Notes (Optional): Hello everybody! I'm so glad to have participated in the Merthur Glompfest this year. Thank you, mods, and thank you, LikeAPaperPlane, for giving this amazing prompt. It was a really funny story to write, and I probably could have written more (but you would have never got the fic ><). I hope you'll like it :)
Big thanks for rageynerd who accepted to beta this fic, even when it wasn't much at the start <3
Also a lot of thanks for the BCU team, who supported me and gave me awesome ideas for awesome situations to put Arthur in. I love you all so muck :keur:
This is the first time I'm trying to write something in text format, and I'm surprised by how much I liked it. I hope you will all love it as much as I do!

Title: A Father's Wisdom
By: @fandom-star
Gift for: @likeapaperplane
Rating: Teen and Up
Word Count: 2108
Warning(s): None
Summary: Uther is not necessarily wise, whatever the title may say.
He also is not oblivious, however.
Perhaps it might have taken him longer than it could have to realise the true extent of his son's relationship with his manservant, but he got there. It had also taken him one minute at most to figure out who, exactly, Merlin was.
