The King’s Chambers Recs - September 2022
Hello,
Much like Arthur we have returned and decided to resurrect our rec lists!
Each month we will be making a short rec list of some of the fanworks our members have recommended.
All of the recs are top/dom!Arthur with bottom/sub!Merlin unless stated otherwise.
Fic
Lampblack Consequences | The_Alternate_Menu | Explicit | 2,188w
Summary: Of all the ways he’s tried to punish Merlin, this seems to be the only one that gets him to know his place.
The unexpected (expect it) | i_claudia | Explicit | 5,125w
Summary: Arthur doesn't mean to. Truly. How the hell is he supposed to know when not to barge into someone's flat? He does it all the time, it's not like Merlin's ever had anything to hide. (The expanded version.)
Dance, Magic Dance | orphan_account | Explicit | 5,349w
Summary: Merlin's had enough of Arthur's dance floor teasing. PWP but with feelings.
Fools of Us All | adelagia | Explicit | 11,141w
Summary: Merlin accidentally makes everybody in Camelot fall in love with him. Everybody except Arthur, that is.
Well, That Escalated Quickly | bloodsongs | Explicit | 2,887w
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.
Exclusive Seating | mysticalraine | Explicit | 1,408w
Summary: Crowded bus, limited seating and two horny boyfriends?
What could go wrong?
Desperate To Be Filled With You | MerthurAllure (Kirbymatsu) | Explicit | 1,483w
Summary: It’s inappropriate for an omega to flash their scent, but Merlin has tried everything else to get Arthur’s attention. He comes up with one last desperate plan.
Sins in the Lobby | smutsy (LiGi) | Explicit | 3,526w
Summary: Gwaine wolf-whistled and Merlin laughed, cupping his hand in front of his crotch to try and retain a little of his already lost modesty. He turned to the door, jokingly trying to cover his bum from his friends' view, sending Gwen into rounds of giggles.
“Remember, pics or it didn’t happen!” Elyan called after him.
“Yes, yes!” Merlin grabbed his phone from the kitchen then cracked the door open, peering out into the corridor. It was blessedly empty.
“Ok, here I go…” he said again. He slunk out of the door.
In a game of Truth or Dare, Merlin is dared to go down to the lobby of their flat's building and take a selfie… naked. Which is fine - as long as he doesn't run into anybody… (Intercrural Sex)
Art & Fic
Be a Brat and get Punished Pendragon style | Merlioske and Sunfall_of_Ennien | Explicit | 218w & Digital Art
Summary: It was an official dinner, what was Merlin supposed to do? Just *let* Arthur give him a handjob in front of all their colleagues? In front of Arthur's own bloody FaThEr? No. No way, no how, just... No.
Arthur would wait.
Apparently, Arthur and making him waiting? Not a good mix.
Art
[Fanart] A moment of respite | feuxx | Gen | Digital Art
Summary: This is art and thus I have no summary??? They're forehead touching.
Or as a dearest writer-friend said: "here have a picture of tenderness and longing". (Gen fanart)

Hello blu! Here's the full wiki for the survival manual thing: https://github.com/ligi/SurvivalManual/wiki
It's kinda long so I dont expect you to read it but if you want to skim it and talk about things that catch your eye you can. I will compile a list of the things I find strange and will send it soon
Righto, let's go through this a bit!
First thing is that it's apparently based on the FM 3-05.70 Field Manual, which is good. That's the current survival manual used by the US Military (or Army, at least).
From what I've seen so far I don't think I'm going to be disagreeing much with what this manual contains. It's INCREDIBLY detailed by its explanations (much like its source of inspiration) and I've only just reached the "Power" section (under "Home").
My only complaint so far is this:
Powerbanks with solar input sometimes will have internal batteries, so they will charge during the day and still provide power through the night or in harsher weather until that battery is emptied. The solar chargers for my phone and headset both have internal batteries and if you can get your hands on one they're defo worth it. I do suggest getting the more expensive ones since the cheap ones have very small internal batteries and will not hold enough energy to fully charge a phone. Mine are the 18w Blavor one which I got for about $50USD.
The best is the BigBlue3 which you can get for $73USD on Amazon, however (while this charges your shit exceptionally fast) it doesn't have an internal battery and so it cannot charge during the night time. This is something I use to charge my external backup powerbanks, though!
On the topic of nonsolar external powerbanks, I'd recommend the Anker PowerCore Essential 2000. It has a 20,000mAh battery capacity which means this is going to take forever to charge--about 10 and a half hours the last time I timed mine on a wall outlet--but it's more than worth it for the capacity it holds. You can get it for a little over $35 on Amazon and this is the energy bank I use (I have two)! It gives my phone a full 5 recharges before it's empty. I use mine for emergencies just in case my solar chargers go kaput or can't charge fast enough. I give mine a weekly recharge on the generator just to make sure they're topped off and it doesn't take more than 10-15 minutes of running the generator for them to reach full charge again.

Before I forget, here are the Arwen fics I've read recently and enjoyed!
In no particular order:
If You Were A Church, I’d Get On My Knees by MerlinMorganEmrys: Smutty one-shot of Arthur appreciating Gwen... carnally, but it's well-written and humorous. I just like reading how much Arthur loves his wife, okay?
In which Gwen doing blacksmithing nearly ends Arthur through sheer bisexual disasterness by donttouchtheneednoggle: I don't get why Gwen wearing pants and doing something "manly" would trigger a man's bisexuality, but, barring that, the fic is quite cute, funny, and very true to character. Arthur is flustered, Gwen is cool and badass, Arwen are in love.
Pomegranate Seeds by Excaliburstark: A very, very short AU. Arwen is a touch dark, but Arthur's devotion to Gwen is the same it's always been. Truly, it's short and sweet and not dark at all.
totally locked up by you by seadeepy: Short and sweet too. I imagine this fic takes place during season 3, post-Queen of Hearts, but, tbh, Gwen's characterization is a mix of seasons 1, 2, and 3. Regardless, I love the idea of Arthur finding excuses to skip practice just to hide underneath an alcove waiting to ambush Gwen with a kiss. Arwen are cute in this fic. I love Gwen's sassiness too.
Home by Edward007NB: Very short and sweet, takes place in season 5. It's domestic, wholesome, and comforting - just Arwen cuddling in bed after a long day of running a kingdom.
the crisp winter afternoon fades among light, delicate snowflakes by kanada: Dunno how to describe it. Gwen's in love, there's a lot of napping and cuddling, Merlin's part of it too. I guess it's slightly OT3 though I didn't see it that way. I don't think Gwen would pull Merlin into bed with her and Arthur, or even take a nap in Arthur's chambers at all, but, still, it's sweet and wholesome. I love how caring Gwen is.
Royal Wedding Night by Anonymous: This is pure smut. I don't think Arthur had any sexual experience before Gwen, but if you ignore how unrealistic it is, it's hot.
Sunlit Kisses by LiGi: This is my favorite on this list! It's post-season 3, pre-season 4, and very true to canon - both Arwen and Arthur and Gwen's individual characterizations are excellent: Arthur's a romantic, so Arwen go on a picnic, they're sickeningly in love and adorable, and Arthur is simultaneously not smooth and super smooth. It's a perfect continuation of the Queen of Hearts picnic, told from Gwen's pov.
show you how a real queen behaves by turquoisetumult: Gwen's worried about becoming Queen, Arthur's distracted by her beauty and can't understand her doubts - but he eventually gets it and gives Gwen the pep talk she's given him many times before. It's cute and funny, and I like that they discussed Gwen becoming Queen since the show never thought to.
That's it for now! Honestly, they're all very short, so you can read them in minutes!

The Purple Lotus - Act 2
“And after that...? After that?!
- Nothing! Just like I explained to you!” Ligi became impatient. “It's incomprehensible...
- Not one little trick? Not a single caress? Not even one little kissy-kiss?
- He said he was coming “about his wife”, not “because” of her!” She rolled her eyes in exasperation. "And “a kissy-kiss”: seriously? Remind me how old you are and how long you've been here, Mia?”
On the other side of the table, where ancient parchments were competing against soft pastries and rare pearls, a woman with a waspish waist but voluptuous hips jiggled indignantly in an azure nightgown.
“But come on! How can anyone resist to your charms like that?
- He didn't want to sleep with me, I told you! We spent the whole night talking about his wife: her family, her obligations, her hobbies, her friends, her favourite food... I even got a detailed description of her wardrobe!
- ... Even the underwear?
- Valorie & fils, third address in the tailors’ streets: prefer them in yellow silk or with lace, satin ribbons only...
- By the Goddess...” A plump hand went to the lips painted in red. “He must be really in love with her... Not just any man from the Highlands would get so involved in his lady's affairs!
- Tss, in love? Desperate, yes. May the Goddess protect us, as you say...”
The so-called Mia dismissed her friend's cynicism with a dramatic gesture, taking the opportunity to snatch another orange fluffy sweet. After swallowing the treat in one mouthful and clearing her low-cut neckline of the accumulated crumbs, she said, mockingly:
“Don't tell me that you wouldn't like it if one of the customers get caught under your thumb, Ligi; every girl here dreams of it: a locket, a strand of hair, and off you go! No more Lotus!
- You read too many novels, Mia...” The other rearranged a few sheets of paper with tight but neat writing. “...and not enough of your etiquette classes: didn't you tell me you wanted to pass the purple qualification before the end of the year?”
A long sigh could be heard, threatening to loosen the corset's grip...
“Not everyone is studious like you, you know!
- And not everyone is as lazy as you are...
- Faggot.
- Stuck-up.
- Shrew.
- Bitch.”
A moment passed. The two women looked each other straight in the eyes. In the far distance, birds could be heard flying away... They laughed in unison.
“But still...” Mia said between two wheezing breaths. “Why did he ask after you in particular, that Lord Yuei, hey? You're not the only purple one here, and he might have found -no offense- better advice from Kat, or even Sonie, who are older!
- Apparently, his wife should be around my age: he thinks my point of view as a...” Ligi looked falsely superior and waved her fingers in the air to form inverted commas. “...young woman introduced to the art of seduction would be an asset in our exchange.
- Ha! If only he knew!” Her companion almost choked. “Surely the only thing we're being introduced to, and they introduced us with, is the “seduction” of these gentlemen!
- Your humour is a fucking mess...” Ligi snickered.
- I'm working in one of them, Ma’am I'm-losing-my-nights-helping-the-potties-for-free!”
The joke could have ended there. The two women would have gone back to their work, one reading, the other embroidering, but the downcast look and the pursing of her friend's lips brought back the actress-born on stage. Mia banged on the table, knocking over a few skeins in the process, widened her eyes comically, and...
“Nooo... Don't tell me he...? Not after booking an entire night with one of the capital's most renowned flowers all to himself?!”
Ligi struggled to suppress an embarrassed smile, and revealed a small leather purse from one of her sleeves. She opened it: a small pile of gold coins, stamped with the imperial seal, found their place on the battlefield that was already the polished wooden surface.
“By... By the Goddess... This is...
- I told you.” Ligi sighed as she retrieved her possession. “Totally desperate.
- Y-yet! Five Golden Feathers?! Just like that, in one night, and for what, I beg you?” She held her arms up to the sky, as if to summon an answer. “To talk about underwear!
- Hey, pssst! Don't speak so loud! If the old lady finds out I got a tip like that, I bet she'll want a slice! And not a small one if you know what I mean...
- Sorry, sorry...!” Worried looks, murmurs. “But... Five Golden Feathers...? That's the equivalent of what...? Three weeks? A month?
- And that is only if you come across big fishes... And that you agree to open your thighs regularly.” Another sigh.
“And he's coming back too?
- I have an appointment for next week.
The blue-robed courtesan fell back into her chair, not even paying attention to the cat, which fled yowling because of the inconvenience.
“I'm sorry, Ligi, but he's not desperate your Lord... He's mad as hell!”
.
.
.
I know that what I'm asking of you may seem strange, even unreasonable, but I...
She has just left her family, her world, and all of this because
her father thought that our union could strengthen
the status of our families... And she!
She... She's so...
young.
...
I don't want her to suffer from our marriage, you understand...?
I want to love her, and her, ...
me in return...
.
.
.
“Maybe so, Mia... Maybe he is...”

İlkay Gündoğan Interview with AA Spor
AA Spor interviewed İlkay and asked a lot of great questions and I decided to translate some I wanted to share into English. I would have added all of the videos but unfortunately Tumblr only allows for 1 video per post, so I'll instead put the Twitter link instead. If you want the rest, lmk and I can translate them later.
About the Germany - Turkiye friendly match on 18th
It will certainly be a special match for me. Playing against Türkiye for the first time will probably be a bit weird. After all, it's my home country, my family's home country. It's our country my grandma, my grandpa lives in. Of course, there's still a strong connection (between me and Türkiye). There always was, and will be, with Türkiye. I try to visit at least once a year. I like spending the holidays in Türkiye.
Me, as well as my family, we are very happy that Türkiye is qualified for the EURO championship. Especially since there are millions of Turks living in Germany, in Europe. I think it will be great for Türkiye, for the Turkish people. After all, except for my team (Germany), the only team I support is, of course, Türkiye.
I hope (Türkiye and Germany) won't draw the same group. (laughs) Of course, I'm not sure if that's a possibility but inşallah that won't happen. Maybe… I think a semi-final, or a final (against each other) could be nice actually.
Who do you have in mind in the finals?
Actually, I would want to say Germany and Türkiye but for me… I mean, this time it's just a friendly. But if it was a final match, one between my friends, that would have been an entirely different situation for me. It would have been a lot more difficult and more awkward, weirder. That's why, I'd be happy to see either Germany or Türkiye in the semi finals. I'd be happy to see them both at once too.
About Galatasaray's performance in UEFA Champions League
I've seen a Galatasaray better than Bayern München, better at finding more positions, at ball possession. It was very good football. I saw a Galatasaray that deserved 3 points at the very least. (But) Champions League is a completely different competition. That's why you have to seize every opportunity you get there, unfortunately Galatasaray couldn't make that happen in the first match. I think they deserved the 3 points (there). But I guess it wasn't meant to be. İnşallah they could at least rank 2nd or 3rd and continue in Europa. Their chances are almost the same right now, (only the) Copenhag and Man. Utd. matches at home are left. I see a Galatasaray team that can win them both. İnşallah they do and finish the group ranking 2nd.
Kerem is very good, I love watching Kerem. Icardi, of course, he's a player that have showed himself in Europe, either in PSG or Inter Milan. Wilfried Zaha - a footballer I know very well from Premier League. He's a football player that spent a great time in PL. Individual duels, shots, assists, goals… He's a footballer I really like.
Apart from them… Lucas Torreira - very hard-working in midfield, he controls the ball very, very well. Muslera - he's been the goalkeeper for so many years, he's a very experienced keeper. I think he's also very important for the team. I mean, there are so many players to mention actually… Hakim Ziyech, Sergio Oliviera at midfield… Sacha Boey at right back. There are actually a lot to mention but… I mean Galatasaray has a very good squad. Actually, (we talk) with the Bayern München players we have here (German NT); they really find the (Galatasaray) players quite well, they say they play really good football. I hope for the best*, inşallah they can qualify.
*He says "Hayırlısı bakalım" and there's not a direct translation in English. Literally, "Whatever that's the best will happen, we'll see".
About Arda Güler
Arda Güler went to Real Madrid. He's a really talented football player. Actually we talk with Antonio Rüdiger here sometimes, he too finds him well a lot. Of course, he's a bit behind physically. And with two injuries, he didn't have a great start for his Real Madrid career of course but I think he's very talented. Mesut Özil also said the same for him back then. If there's any Turkish player that's like him, the first one to name is Arda Güler. I think he's got a very bright future.

PCB Yönetim Komitesi Başkanı Najam Sethi (solda) ve Eski PCB başkanı Zaka Ashraf. — AFP/DosyalarKıdemli gazeteci Hamid Mir geçtiğimiz günlerde Pakistan Müslüman Ligi-Nawaz (PML-N) ve Pakistan Halk Partisi'nin (PPP) Pakistan Kriket Kurulu (PCB) başkanının atanması mevzusunda anlaşmazlığa düştüğünü söylemiş oldu.Ev sahibi Mir Coğrafi Haberler' 'Capital Talk' Çarşamba günü yapmış olduğu açıklamada, PPP'nin bakanı İller Arası Koordinasyon Birimi'ne (IPC) başkanlık etmesi ve PCB'nin bakanlıkla ilgili olması sebebiyle PCB başkanını atamak istediğini söylemiş oldu. PPP'nin bu vazife için tercih etmiş olduğu aday eski PCB başkanı Zaka Ashraf. Sadece PML-N'nin göreve PCB'nin yönetim komitesi başkanı Najam Sethi'yi atamak istediğini ve bunun iki taraf içinde bir sürtüşme yarattığını söylemiş oldu.Program esnasında mevzuyla ilgili konuşan PML-N lideri ve federal bakan Khurram Dastgir, görüş ayrılıkları izlenimini reddetti.Dastgir, "Bunlar iç meseleler olabilir, sadece müttefiklerimizle iyi ilişkilerimiz ve iyi bir emek verme ilişkimiz var." dedi.Sadece, gıpta ile bakılan göreve atanmak kolay bir iş değildir.Müstakbel adaylar dün başkentte yoğun bigün geçirerek lobi faaliyetleri yürüttüler, kimliklerini gösterdiler ve kendi bağlantılarını kullanarak iktidar koridorlarına ulaştılar.Sethi, PCB baş patronu Shehbaz Sharif ile görüşürken, eski PCB başkanı Ashraf, IPC Bakanı Ehsan Mazari ile görüştü.Bir saatten fazla devam eden görüşmede Mazari, Eşref'e parti politikasına uygun olarak göreve tam destek sözü verdi.“Parti liderliğimizden, PCB Başkanı olarak önceki vazife süresinin gerçek bir başarıya dönüştüğü için Zaka Eşref'in itibarını desteklemek için açık talimatlarımız var. O, önceki vazife süresi süresince kanıtladığı benzer biçimde, bizim yiğit ve iyi bir yöneticimizdir. Bakan The News'e verdiği demeçte, Pakistan Süper Ligi (PSL) bile onun buluşuydu.“Özgür ve adil bir seçim için lüzumlu hazırlıkları yapmak suretiyle atandığı süre, kayyumların seçimlere itiraz etmeye başlamasının hiçbir kuralı ve ahlakı yoktur."İkincisi, spor bakanlığı ve - bu yüzden - IPC Bakanlığı koalisyon hükümetindeki PPP çerçevesine girmiş olduğu için, vazife için PPP destekli bir adaya haiz olmak hakkımızdır. PML-N'nin olduğu Bakanlıklara müdahale edemeyiz. yada JUI'nin kendi bakanları var ve her insanın de bizim görevimize saygı duymasını bekliyoruz," dedi Mazari.“Yakında PCB Başkanlığı görevi için Başbakan adaylarından biri olarak Zaka Eşref'in adını alacağımızı umuyor ve bekliyoruz. Geçenlerde taşıdığımız özet, Başbakan'a bir taleple onun adını taşıyordu.”Ek olarak toplantıdan sonrasında Ashraf, PPP tarafınca PCB'nin gelecekteki başkanı olarak aday gösterildiğini ve toplantının gelecekteki kurulum ve ilgili formaliteleri tartışmak için yapıldığını doğruladı.Ek olarak, bakanın ülkedeki sporu düzene sokmadaki rolünü de takdir etti.“Spor altyapısının tabanını genişletmede ve hatta özgür ve adil PCB seçimleri için çaba sarf etmede oynadığı rol için bakana hakkaten minnettarım. Mazari ailesinin Pakistan'a katkıda bulunma geçmişi var ve Mazari'nin bu mirası devam ettirmesinden memnunum" dedi.Toplantı esnasında ek olarak Mazari'ye departman ve bölgesel kriketin önemi ve ülkedeki kriketin gelişmesindeki görevi hakkında informasyon verdi.PCB yönetim komitesinin birkaç ay önceki uzatma bildiriminden ilkin The News, Ashraf'ın kalıcı PCB başkanlığı görevi için kuvvetli bir rakip olduğuna dair hikayeyi yayınladı.PCB MC uzatması 21 Haziran'da sonlanıyor ve bundan ilkin başkan seçimlerini yapmak için çaba gösteriliyor. 12 Haziran'da MC Başkanı Sethi formaliteleri tartışmak ve seçim kuruluna lüzumlu son şekli vermek için bir toplantı düzenledi.

My AO3 - Question Time
Thank you so much for the tag @arthur-rex! 💚
How many works do you have on Ao3? 140.... I can’t quite believe that... I've only been on Ao3 for about 13months...
What’s your total Ao3 word count? 303,317 😲😲😲
How many fandoms have you written for and what are they? In the past 15 years or so I have written for (that I can remember) 10 fandoms. In order (I think) Harry Potter, Tamora Pierce, Twilight, Merlin, Supernatural, Glee, Gilmore Girls, Dragon Age, Thunderbirds and Medici. But the only ones I still write now are Harry Potter and Merlin. Only a small fraction of these ever got published online. And only my Merlin fics are on Ao3!
What are your top 5 fics by kudos? (watch me turn this into shameless self promotion 😉)
1) Secrets & Lies - Merthur - Arthur knows about Merlin’s magic and has to stop anyone else finding out.
2) Identity Reveal - BAMF Merlin magic reveal.
3) But You Love Me - Merthur - fluffy love confession after Merlin gets hurt protecting Arthur.
4) Caged - Different first meeting - Merlin caught by a witchfinder and brought to Camelot.
And then these two are tied right now with the same number of kudos:
5) Blackberries, Griffins and a Kiss For You - Mercelot - Lancelot buying gifts for Merlin.
5) “Huddling for Warmth” - Merthur - What it says on the tin, fluffy get together!
Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? Always! I feel like if someone has taken the time to tell me they like my fics, then I want to let them know that their comments made me smile! Although sometimes it takes me a long time to get around to doing so because when I first read nice comments all I am capable of doing is making incoherent happy noises and grinning at my laptop screen.
What is the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending? Probably Defiance - I even added a note at the end with a reassurance that it doesn’t actually end in the way it seems to! (Despite the sad ending, please do read it though! It’s Arthur trying to defy Uther in a matter of using magic to save Merlin’s life...)
Do you write crossovers? Not really.
Have you ever received hate on a fic? Once. It was truly horrible and it almost put me off writing for a while, but some lovely people in the fandom encouraged me to ignore it and carry on!
Do you write smut? If so, what kind? 😉😉 I do indeed! All different kinds! I started with a rather longer than I expected Gwaincelot fic at the end of 2020, and then after a few more here and there, I opened the floodgates with Kinkalot! (More shameless self promotion of course - I shouldn’t be allowed to answer questions like this, I just turn the whole thing into a personal advert! 😂)
Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not that I’m aware of! I hope not.
Have you ever had a fic translated? About ten years ago or so one of my Glee fanfics was translated into Italian. The girl who translated it was lovely and translated all the reviews back into English for me as well!
Have you ever co-written a fic before? Me and my sister have co-written several Harry Potter fics together - but we’ve never finished any of them - maybe this year we’ll get to that....
What’s your all time favourite ship? Merthur. Hands down. It was my first ever ship and it will always be my favourite. But close second are Mercelot and Arwen and, of course, Gwaincelot 😉 (and many more!)
What’s a wip you want to finish but don’t think you ever will? I currently have 81 wips.... I really want to finish all of them, of course, but I know some of them will never be done.
What are your writing strengths? I think I’m good at description and little details to make things really seem real. And lots of people tell me I’m good at writing dialogue - which I find weird, because I would have said that was one of my weaknesses!
What are your writing weaknesses? Sentence structure - I use far too many commas and run-on sentences. And too many adverbs. And sticking to a plan! I never stick to the plans I make before I start writing. And I’m not great at thinking up complex plots for long stories - although I would love to be able to write them.
What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic? Oooh I love it, I’ve done a little bit of French, Italian and Spanish for a couple of bilingual characters in other fandoms before. And for Merlin fics I do it a lot. Using Old English for Merlin’s spells - creating new spells is one of my favourite things to do!
What was the first fandom you wrote for? Unofficially, Harry Potter - but that was before I had ever even heard of fanfiction or fandom, as far as I was concerned I was just playing writing with the characters. The first thing I deliberately chose to write and publish fanfiction for was... Twilight.
What’s your favourite fic you’ve written? Oh dear, that’s like asking a mum to choose between her children! I know it sounds arrogant, but I really do like all of my published fics - I wouldn’t publish them if I didn’t like them myself. Ummm... Can I pick three??? It’s my blog, I can do what I want. I’m going to pick three that I really like but that have been slightly overlooked in hit numbers on Ao3 (just because I am an utterly, utterly shameless self promoting prat)
1) Rub-Dub, Just Relaxing in My Tub - Ace Leon having a nice relaxing bath whilst all the other knights go to a brothel.
2) Of Tea and Dragons - Arwen - This is the first ever modern AU I wrote, Gwen meeting Arthur and Merlin in a tea shop.
3) The Prince’s Breakfast - Pre-slash Merthur - Morning domesticity interrupted by a cute kitten!
I know, I know. Ignore my self-indulgent promoting. But what’s tumblr for if not for advertising your fics! Ok, I’m done now! I promise!
Tagging: I haven’t been around on tumblr for a while so I have no idea who has already done this, so I am tagging ANYONE WHO SEES THIS AND WANTS TO DO IT!!! 💕 (Anyone who managed to wade through all of my self promotion deserves to do a little promoting themselves too!!)

Words: 972
Summary:
Hey um I know this is kind of out of nowhere but I feel like I should tell you before this goes any further
Not that I'm expecting this to go any further
But also not that I’m not expecting this to go any further
Um
Or
Elyan has a date. Elyan is a trifle nervous about said date.
Partly inspired by Six Pints and a Packet of Crisps by @little-ligi and All or Nothing by @fudgetunblr, very much recommend :)
For @elyan-fest
Read on AO3 or below!
Elyan paced up and down, trying to work out what was the best thing to do. It was 4pm and he was meeting Gwaine at 7. He didn’t exactly have much time left to do anything. Maybe he should just leave it and talk to him in person. It wasn’t like it was a massive deal. Probably. He hoped not.
Elyan had met Gwaine the previous week at Leon’s birthday party and they’d almost immediately hit it off. He was gorgeous, flirted with everyone and was annoying as all hell but only until he’d roped Elyan into annoying Leon instead. Which Elyan, who had been annoying Leon since he was a toddler, heartily approved of.
Besides, there was something mesmerising about the unrestrained glee the guy met everything with, it was almost like he was a little more alive than most people. It had made Elyan braver than he usually was, and as the party was wrapping up he’d blurted out if he wanted to go for a drink. He never did stuff like that but Gwaine had just grinned hugely and said he’d love to.
Once he’d got home it had taken Elyan approximately thirty minutes to stop being excited and start being nervous. All the intervening week there had been something nagging at the back of his mind and by Sunday afternoon he could avoid it no longer. Eventually he decided to just get it over with and text Gwaine.
Hey um I know this is kind of out of nowhere but I feel like I should tell you before this goes any further
Not that I'm expecting this to go any further
But also not that I’m not expecting this to go any further
Um
Ok
I'm a trans guy
...........
Oh cool me too!
...........
Wait really?
...........
Well I guess I'm more genderqueer nowadays but I usually skew masc
We didn’t get onto it last week but I go by he/they
...........
Cool! I'm he/him
...........
:D
...........
I guess we're still on for later? :)
...........
Looking forward to it ;)
Elyan looked up grinning from his phone, no longer feeling so nervous. It wasn’t that there weren't accepting cis guys out there, but it was nice to have the worry of awkward explanations removed.
The next problem now he knew this was actually going to happen was what to wear. He decided to text Gwen.
I can’t wear a hoodie to a date can I
...........
No you absolutely can not
...........
Why not he’s already seen me in one
...........
N O
...........
:(
He finally settled on a short sleeved button down, jeans and boots. Naturally by the time he’d worked everything out and left he was ten minutes late. And panicking again.
Still, when he got to the bar he paused outside to delay the inevitable, nerves swirling in his stomach and wondering if Gwaine would have already got tired of waiting and left. Gwen had texted him Take care and good luck! xxx
He’d need it. Taking a deep breath he pushed open the door.
He spotted Gwaine almost immediately, sitting at a table. He was wearing a leather jacket and a shirt with a deep v neck, and they flipped back their shining brown hair as Elyan approached, it not being pulled back in a bun like the first time he had saw him, and it was kind of entrancing. They grinned, not the crooked flirty grin that seemed to reside permanently on his face but a full on beaming smile like Elyan was the best thing they seen all day.
And god what was he supposed to do with that? The nerves disappeared and were immediately replaced with wild butterflies. He’d somehow forgotten quite how criminally handsome Gwaine was. "Um... hi." Oh he was gone. He was so gone. “Sorry I’m late.”
“No worries,” Gwaine grinned some more. With eyeliner their hazel eyes were even more striking, and his dangly earrings caught the light when he tucked his hair behind his ear.
"How come you’re here before me?" Elyan grumbled as he slid into his seat in lieu of staring like an idiot, a little betrayed that Gwaine had their life together more than him.
"Teleport," Gwaine answered promptly, and Elyan couldn’t help but laugh.
"Right."
“I actually got here half an hour ago so I wouldn’t be late,” he admitted.
Elyan laughed again, relaxing as he found them falling back into the groove they’d established last time. “Sorry I was. I couldn’t decide what to wear. Explain to me how a hoodie is ok for a party but not a date.”
“When the party is bowling and Laser Quest?” they offered grinning, and Elyan tilted his head, conceding. “I think you look great,” Gwaine informed him, leaning back on his chair and almost falling off it.
Elyan snickered but didn’t miss how their eyes followed the curve of his bicep when he picked up his drink. He flushed. “Thanks. You too.” Understatement of the century. He cleared his throat and changed the subject. “You know that’s normally my move. Show up neurotically early so I can’t possibly be late.”
Gwaine chuckled. “And I’m usually late to everything. I just didn’t want you to think I was… careless.”
“Well how about next time we swap?” Elyan suggested. “I’ll be early and you be late.”
Gwaine’s eyes twinkled wickedly. “Oh there’s going to be a next time now? You’re expecting this to go further now?”
Elyan rolled his eyes “Oh shut up.” And they devolved merrily into bickering. And it was good.
And they got pleasantly tipsy and laughed til their sides ached and it was good.
And when Gwaine grabbed his hand and tugged him outside and kissed him hard, and Elyan’s hands tangled in that incredible hair as he kissed them back just as enthusiastically, well, that was good too.
#never thought i'd write proper modern au but the ✨vibes✨ of these fics are wonderful#we're trying something knew and posting it on tumblr too#cos ao3 was getting a bit overwhelming#so according to my warped logic posting here as well will help??#we'll see#bbc merlin#elyaine#my fic#mine

my merthurweek2020 masterlist ft the beginnings of each💞!!
just for convenience if anyone was interested in reading what i wrote this week all in one place!🥺💞
Day 1 - don’t look down (‘cause we’re still rising up)
Magic was legalized, Morgana was MIA at the moment, and Arthur was ruling fairly well. However, his great rule did not matter to his councilmen who have been persistently on his ass lately about “obtaining a wife.”
Day 2 - now ‘til eternity
It was during the celebration feast that Merlin’s heart finally felt entirely full for the first time in his life.
Day 3 - fight through the dark
Arthur still wasn’t talking to him. It’s been a week since that dreadful trip to Nemeth—where Merlin’s entire world shifted and fell from underneath him.
Day 4 - we say we’re friends (we play pretend)
“This needs to stop,” Merlin grumbled under his breath, racing down the next corridor. As he skidded to swig into the turn, he yelled behind him, “ARTHUR! I will magic your ass to stop chasing me if it comes to it!”
Day 5 - write in every empty space (the words i love you in replace)
Merlin was going to tell Arthur today. About everything. He said that yesterday though—and the day before that.
Day 6 - this moment is ours to own
Gwaine had enough. The two idiots were flirting on the training field right now, and both had no idea that they were in love with each other. The Princess was paying so much attention to his Merlin that he hadn’t even noticed all of the other knights stopping to watch them instead of sparring.
Day 7 - keep holding on (never look back)
Merlin came back limping, barely conscious. The fight was brutal, messy, and unnecessary, but it became inevitable when they wouldn’t stop threatening Arthur—and, well, no one continuously threatens Arthur and survives.
(i got this idea from @little-ligi so thank you!!🥺this is a great idea)

The Purple Lotus - Act 9
“Go on, go ahead...” The needle came to rest on the embroidery canvas. “Say it.”
Against the wall, the clock's hands continued to beat the measure. The glass that imprisoned them could hardly be seen; the room was dark, even obscure.
“And what would you like me to say, eh?”
An expletive burst from below, followed by laughter and hurried footsteps: no doubt white flowers having decided to play a trick on one of their elders.
“You know very well. That I shouldn't take it so seriously, that it was predictable, that he's the one who's at fault and not me, that I could have spat some well-placed truths in his face too, that he doesn't deserve me...” Sigh. “That he's just a fool and I should move on.
- It's true, I could say all that and more; you know what I mean, darling.” Mia put down her skein, it showing only a barely sketched frieze of clouds. “But the problem is, it's not what you want to hear right now... or what you need to.”
On the dresser, right next to a candle with still-warm wax, stood a white square. Parchment. The edges had been scratched, worn away.
“And then... I think the others have already told you enough. 'Gi...?
- Hm?
- You still haven't told me in detail about the night when... well, you know, that night, when he... when you...”
His hands were clasped in hers, his skin rough, even calloused in places,
against his own, as soft as it was fragile. Bruises, visible veins or even stains left by the sun.
the sun: a myriad of constellations under the almost transparent membrane of which his fingers were
membrane whose contours her fingers traced with as much tenderness as her words invented
as his words invented their history.
These markings look strangely like the Zephyr Star, don't you think?
By the way, did you know that it was Vald III, Archduke of Maneriou, who...
His chest was heaving. Inhale.
His back followed the rhythm. Exhaling.
Haha, where do you get all these stories from?
She had closed her eyes, maybe he had too.
I don't need to invent anything, I just need to observe,
My L-
“I would rather not talking about it. Not right now anyway.
- I... I understand.” The courtesan, wrapped in a tunic of blue gauze and tulle, bent her head towards her friend. “But know that if you ever need...”
It would soon be four days since the incident. Of course, the entire occupants of the Purple Lotus had heard about it in less time than it had taken Lord Yuei to return to his home in the Peaks. On his way out, he had walked briskly through the Guest Room without even glancing at Dame Rey, who had called out to him to inquire about his visit. The old matron may not have been involved with men as she had in her early days, but she was still an expert in this field. Something was wrong. Realising that the usual, routine customer had left far too early, and more contrite than he had arrived, she had gone to her protégé's flats. It was then that she realised.
Ligi had spent the next day in complete darkness. It wasn't the first time after all. The only difference was that, for once, it wasn't her hair or her eyes that had been burned...
“Thank you, Mia. I won't hesitate, I promise.”
______o.).O.(.o______
“Good night! And above all...” Slipping a final caress into the palm of her hand. “... Try to get some rest... um...?
- I'm not a child anymore.” She stared at a group of yellow girls passing in the hallway. They quickly slipped away. "I'll do my best, Mia. Good night to you too.”
She didn't like the look of contrition on his usually cheerful face, and she hated the idea that she was responsible for it even more.
It's not your fault!
After all, it's because of him that you-
Enough!
In all sincerity, she wanted to prove the voice that haunted her right. She wanted to reproach Lord Yuei for his words, his actions. She knew that he had been unfair, even cruel, especially after all they had known about each other. The problem... was that she felt that blaming him entirely would be just as unfair.
After all... She... By trying to make him assume his difference, hadn't she caused this discord...? This rupture. In the end, she had wished to help him remain true to himself... if not to remain true to the promise she had made him. To make him love that s... his wife.
Was it not I who betrayed him first?
What if... what if it was true after all? Did all those books and poems that she thought were amusing, even though they were laughable, portray a reality after all?
She had wanted to keep him as she had known him on the first day, to preserve that smile, that naivety. Wasn't it herself that she had tried to preserve by doing this? But he wouldn't have been happy if...! Would he have been happy? Since when did a whore, even a fancy one, allow herself to judge what was good or bad in the lives of others? What right did she have in the first place?
I... I wanted something else.
And he... He was something else.
All these questions. No answers.
As she had for seven nights now, Ligi would fall asleep, her head buried against a plum-coloured pillow, her moral torments and tears plunging her into the throes of sleep at the first light of dawn.
______o.).O.(.o______
How much time had passed? Two, no, three days? Less? She didn't really know anymore. All she wanted was peace now, silence; she wanted to recover in order to move on, to forget in order to better forge new memories. But this was not easy, especially when your room reminded you of so many nights spent in candlelight, kneeling on that same rush rug, sitting on that cushion, thinking about your next move on that tray. She had then asked to swap flats with one of her purple sisters: a matter which seemed incongruous to some, but which Dame Rey approved without further discussion.
That was why, exceptionally, Ligi stood there on the upper gallery, protected by a wooden awning and a large shawl. She was waiting for two novices to finish carrying the last boxes to the south wing, where she would take her quarters in place of Rut, a middle-aged woman who had accepted her proposal with enthusiasm: the proximity to the central corridor and direct access to the great hall had particularly appealed to the latter. The other advantage of the move was the new room itself. Indeed, it was lower in ceiling, with only a tiny alcove and window, making it even darker and cooler than the one where Ligi lived. Had it not been for Rut's time to recover from an abortion, Ligi would have had to move in to protect herself as much as possible from the murderous light.
In the end,
everything that has to happen, ends up happening.
On her bench, the white-haired lady was silently enjoying the early afternoon air. Suddenly she felt a hand shake hers. Turning towards the source of the interruption, she saw Mia's worried face. Her dress was blue.
“D-do you sure you don't want to put them on, hey? If you're going to stay here, I won't stop you, but... But if you could be a little more careful with yourself, I'd be fine with that too.”
On her lap lay a white oak box, stamped with copper nails, and covered with black silk. She had not preferred to leave the precious Luminim’s in clumsy or even interested hands. However, she didn’t feel like...
I wonder what colour is the sky today.
______o.).O.(.o______
In all honesty, the day had started out quite well. Would she even dare to say that it was the first morning she'd got out of her sheets without feeling that weight against her abdomen? She had it all planned: a full breakfast with Mia, then time to sew and embroider her left outfits, maybe a bit of reading before gathering around the big table, where she would take great interest in hearing the latest gossip in town from her sisters and their conquests. So far, the plan had gone wonderfully well. The crushed berries and cereals with a glass of fresh fruit juice and the steamed chicken bites had been a real treat. The opening of a new international canal, and by extension the prospect of exotic imports, had set the noontime debate alight. Yes, everything had been perfect.
Please! Everything...!
Everything but that!
So why did everything have to go wrong, hum? Ligi was about to go to the inner courtyard through one of the covered passages, having planned to relax a little while waiting for nightfall. Her book for tonight was full. Her best friend accompanied her, her discreet attentions still revealing a slight concern, but she was obviously happy to see the other one back on her feet.
On their way, the two ladies had crossed path with lemon-coloured flowers, three or four at most, but enough to create a crowd in these cramped corridors. It was Yunis, and it was "scarf day", dedicated to the distribution of thin silk strips with an invitation, which the yellow-clad women were going to distribute in the upper quarters to find new customers. Novices had surrounded them and were squealing in unison. A relatively banal scene for a brothel. Indeed, it was not uncommon to find the younger girls clinging to the skirts of their elders to draw on their experience, learn the latest fashions of the Crowns, or simply revel in their tales of wandering. Usually, Ligi herself would crash such gatherings, always interested in news from the formerly outside world, but now she preferred not to dwell on it. She and Mia had already planned to go out the following week to discover the market she had heard so much about. Now that she had the opportunity, she didn't want to miss the chance to explore the vast land of roots and rocks. Would you have given her a day, she would even survey every corner of the Tree-City, tracing the contours of the Imperial Court to those of the most wretched of the Steppe slums! After all, who could stop her from-?
Five words. That's all it took.
Man...
Black hair...
Noble...
“Hey, Douwin!
- W-what? Ah, it's you, Ligi! Long time no se-!
- Where?
- W-what?
- Where have you gone with the others?”
Hanged...
A glance towards Mia, and she saw that her friend had understood.
"I'll get your cape." The small round lady announced, filled with an unknown determination. "You, go get your Lumi-thing: we'll meet under the big gate!"
And so, the two women found themselves racing through the streets, sometimes made from dirt, sometimes from uneven stones, apologising briefly to each passer-by they bumped into in their frantic race, but never stopping either.
No, he would never...?!
He better not...! Not like that!
The lands and houses went by. Mia was in the lead, guiding Ligi through a maze of colours and shapes that she had only seen in her books. Yet her eyes, obscured by the Luminim’s, were riveted in front of her. Firmly clinging to her friend's arm, she let herself be drawn further and further east, towards the green hills and the sounding waterfalls that made a name for this specific quarter of the Plateaux encircling the Millennium Tree.
After what seemed like an eternity, they finally reached the gates of the district in which their sisters had walked that same morning. The high white walls, adorned with flamboyant designs and arabesques, quickly led them to a central square, where only a few elders, surrounded by children, were gathered around a large fountain. They were desperately trying to distract the young souls, some with questions in their mouths, others with tears in their eyes. Their weary gazes turned steadily to a lonely alleyway, which seemed to lead to fields below.
Without questioning them further, the purple and blue coats went deeper into the bowels of the chalk and creepers. Despite their light clothing, the two ladies were out of breath, especially Mia, who was now dragging herself along at the back; it must be said that both were not really cut out for physical endurance, at least not of this type... As they reached the edge of a pasture, a crowd began to form; the two friends had to elbow their way closer to the heart of the attention of the citizens, farmers, poor people and other onlookers. The air was thick with murmurs, muffled cries, and a foul smell... However, while they had not left each other's side during their journey, the two women found themselves brutally separated a few meters from their destination, Ligi, in her desperate breakthrough through all her bodies, being thrown without warning to the front of the macabre spectacle.
The blades of crazy grass were waving under her palms. The wind was fresh and the sun, barely veiled by a few passing clouds, warmed you. As if the shock had brought her back to reality, Ligi became aware of... everything. All the events that had brought her here: their meeting, those nights together, the break-up, the waiting, the pain, the news, the frantic race... She could feel the world, as if it had slowed down, around her: the colours, the sounds, the smells... But more than that, she felt a fierce fear of what lay ahead. After all this. When she would have to raise her head to see... To see Him...
D-...
A scream, a woman’s scream, tore the sky apart. She looked up.
~ End of Act 9

Fumata nera al Quirinale: non potevano pensarci prima?
di Antonio Padellaro Di fronte alla pioggia di schede bianche e fumate nere del primo scrutinio che rischia di trasformarsi in una grandinata domani e forse anche dopo. Di fronte ai leader che brancolano nel buio, con tutti che incontrano tutti in un vertiginoso e incomprensibile moto perpetuo. Di fronte al rosario di insopportabili dichiarazioni degli addetti ai lavori, che in tv discettano di “metodo”, di “sensibilità”, di “profili”, senza farci capire nulla, una domanda sorge spontanea: ma non potevano pensarci prima? Che la corsa verso il Colle sarebbe stata irta di ostacoli, di veti e di imprevisti lo avevano capito tutti già un mese fa nella famosa conferenza stampa di Mario Draghi. Quella del “nonno a disposizione delle istituzioni”, e quindi del Quirinale. Quella che denotava una certa insofferenza da parte del premier per le crescenti tensioni nella maggioranza di unità nazionale, ma solo di facciata. Eppure per più di un mese non è successo niente di niente, a parte il solito chiacchiericcio sul giornali e nei talk per raccattare un titolo, per accendere una polemicuzza. Dozzine di nomi candidabili gettati al vento per mascherare il vuoto decisionale della politica. Fino alla farsa di un signore anziano e non più lucidissimo che si fa candidare da un centrodestra a dir poco riluttante, ma che insiste perché lui l’aveva promesso alla mamma che sarebbe arrivato al Quirinale. È finita come tutti sapevano come sarebbe finita e che infatti tutti hanno usato come un alibi dietro cui nascondersi. Di fronte a un tale colpevole spreco di tempo. Di fronte alla liturgia di voti perduti o consumati su nomi improbabili c’è un’altra domanda che sorge spontanea e che riguarda la stragrande maggioranza dei cittadini. Quelli che immersi da due lunghissimi anni nella nebbia avvelenata della pandemia, invece il tempo non lo hanno mai perso o gettato al vento. Quando sono corsi a vaccinarsi per tre volte consecutive. Ligi alla dura disciplina dei green pass normali e super. Sempre disponibili a osservare la massa di regole incessantemente prodotte dalla macchina governativa, anche le più cervellotiche. Cosa si chiedeva in cambio? Che coloro che si sono assunti la responsabilità di guidare la comunità nazionale dessero in un Parlamento riunito in seduta solenne, e immediatamente, un segnale di serietà, di coesione, dimostrando attenzione al bene comune sempre tanto sbandierato. Ed ecco la domanda: ieri sera costoro non hanno provato un po’ di vergogna?

I'm so excited you've jouned in!!! 💕
You owe Merwaine some happiness after your VERY angsty episode analyses so I would love those two and Sleepy hug please!! 😍
@little-ligi i hope this makes up for the angst!!! thank you for sending a prompt and have merlin and gwaine falling asleep together when with the knights and arthur on a trip thing (unspecified) between s4 and s5 💕
once again, under the cut because this is the longest one yet...
Rearranging his cloak so it provided greater coverage from the brisk wind, Gwaine glanced over at the group who were gradually drifting off amongst the fallen foliage. Despite the undiluted thoughts that inevitably streamed through his head when on watch, Gwaine relished the uninterrupted opportunity to softly observe Merlin without having the eyes of the other knights on him. If he had an apple for every time one of them – usually Percival or Arthur, despite Elyan’s quiet requests for them to shut up – had called him out for supposedly undressing Merlin with his eyes, he would certainly have a bushel of them by now. Granted, Gwaine sometimes did have the habit of mentally undressing Merlin with his eyes when he looked at him, but more often than not the knight was simply gazing in wonder at how such a beautiful being had chosen to devote his life to Gwaine of all people.
Merlin had been out of his sight for the past couple of hours, having accompanied Elyan to retrieve firewood, but Gwaine knew that they were both exchanging new spells that they’d learnt over the past few weeks. Elyan had told Gwaine about his magic before Gwaine had even had his suspicions about Merlin confirmed. Or, rather, Gwaine had stumbled in on Elyan, when the call of nature had echoed in his head on the night they had first met, and had witnessed him throwing all five of Gwaine’s knives without touching a single one. Gwaine had been more bothered by the fact that he hadn’t even noticed that his knives were missing than by the fact that Elyan was a sorcerer. And then, several weeks later, after Merlin had confessed to Gwaine on the night they had found themselves in bed together after an evening in the tavern, Gwaine had told both Elyan and Merlin to meet him in the Darkling Woods, greeted them with the statement that they both had magic, and had left them to it. Although he forced his unwavering support onto Merlin at every given opportunity, Gwaine knew the value of having someone close who knew precisely the struggles being faced, and he was grateful that Merlin had that in Elyan, and vice versa.
With a smile, Gwaine’s gaze slid over to Merlin, cocooned in a blanket and laughing at some remark that Elyan had sleepily murmured, and he settled himself against a tree trunk, moving his eyes back to the space in front of him as he withdrew his sword and positioned it across torso, the point of the blade hovering dangerously close to his neck. It was probably best that he was keeping watch alone, so he wouldn’t get distracted by talking to someone – but it also meant that there was nobody to check him when his attention slid, as it always did, to Merlin. He squinted up at the sky, seeking out the moon. At least he wasn’t expected to keep watch all night. Not that there was much need. Perhaps it was somewhat of an invincibility complex but, ever since donning the cloak bearing Camelot’s emblem, Gwaine had felt untouchable. Almost. The cloak hadn’t made Lancelot untouchable. Setting his jaw, Gwaine took a deep breath and focused on the lazy wave of the leaves opposite, on the stars splattered across the deep canvas of the sky like a bloodstain, on the soft melody of the wind.
‘Come on, now, Gwaine, you know full well how hot you look when you hold a sword like that.’
Perhaps Gwaine, who had not noticed Merlin – Merlin, of all people – approach, had not been the best choice for watch. He looked up with the smile that always graced his lips whenever the warlock was near, eyes dropping with Merlin’s body as he settled himself next to him. ‘I am by no means opposed to making out right here, right now.’
To satiate his desire, Merlin scattered a trail of kisses along his hairline. ‘I don’t think the others would appreciate it.’
‘Mm, you’re probably right there,’ Gwaine murmured, his fingers tracing Merlin’s face. ‘And you should sleep.’
‘I’m okay.’
Gwaine’s hands found the shadowed purple beneath Merlin’s eyes and he fixed him with a look. ‘I know that you haven’t slept properly for the past two weeks. I can see it written all over your face.’
Scowling, Merlin pushed his hand away. ‘Well that’s rude.’
‘But not a lie.’
Expression softening, Merlin wrapped the blanket tighter around his body.‘That’s because you’ve been on night patrol for the past two weeks and haven’t slept next to me.’
‘I don’t enjoy it.’
‘No, but at least you get to talk to Elyan. I’m left alone with the ceiling and my thoughts, and you know how much I hate that.’ Realising how he sounded, Merlin leaned closer into Gwaine. ‘I’m not trying to guilt-trip you. I know full well there’s nothing you can do about it.’
Just as Merlin knew that, Gwaine knew full well that he shouldn’t do what his arm had already started to do but, noticing Merlin’s poorly-concealed shivers, he set down his sword and drew Merlin in so the warlock was resting his head in Gwaine’s chest. Then, kissing the top of his head, Gwaine pushed him away as swiftly as he’d pulled him in. ‘Go to bed, love. If you fall asleep here then your neck will not be thanking you in the morning.’
Looking up, Merlin held his gaze for several moments. With a sigh, he lifted his head and kissed Gwaine on the mouth before reluctantly standing and stumbling back to the makeshift camp. Gwaine watched as he settled himself at a slight distance from the other knights and Arthur, his back turned. The flickering embers cast subtle shadows across Merlin’s back and Gwaine’s gaze remained turned towards him for several moments more before he forced his eyes to travel away from the warlock’s form. Gwaine didn’t need to see it to know how it moulded to his palms when they were alone.
When around other people, Merlin always seemed to skirt around Gwaine, always leaving at least several inches between their bodies, as if afraid of causing Gwaine to shatter as a mirage if he made even the slightest contact with his skin. Gwaine had started wearing gloves more frequently in the hopes that Merlin would be more liberal in brushing against him then, but it had all been to no avail. Then Gwaine had continued to wear gloves anyway, just so that his bare hands wouldn’t have the nerves numbed by grazing surfaces before they reached out for Merlin’s skin. The result was a warm tingle that, to some, would be more of a scald, but Gwaine savoured every moment that his skin was set alight by Merlin. Having a particular skill with fire spells also helped him not feel the agony of burning so much, too.
When they were alone, though, Merlin was the one to remove Gwaine’s gloves and, every time his fingers skimmed the bones in Gwaine’s hand, the knight had to focus so as not to release skittering flames in Merlin’s direction. There seemed to be a ritual with Merlin when they were alone. The warlock would gently draw the gloves from Gwaine’s skin, toss them to one side, and then dedicate a substantial amount of time to tracing the marks on the knight’s hands, no matter how many times his fingers had already followed the cellular paths that day.
First, he always looked for new scalds or burns, disregarding Gwaine’s protests that they didn’t hurt in the same way that their ancestors had when he had first started learning magic, skimming his fingers over the marks as if the touch formed a mental note to treat them at a later date. After assessing the damage, Merlin’s lips always trailed behind his touch, silently reassuring each of Gwaine’s imperfections that they were so wonderfully loved and successfully sending shivers up Gwaine’s spine. Though those shivers always were abruptly severed when Merlin’s touch made its way to the thick scar just below the fold of skin between his right thumb and forefinger. Merlin had never once pushed him for more information about his childhood amongst bandits, but there was always a part of Gwaine that worried Merlin would one day get sick of the sight of the small branded letter, not quite concealed by the path the knife had taken so long ago, and would abandon him to the abyss he had been lost in before meeting the warlock.
But that hadn’t happened yet.
After studying Gwaine’s hands, Merlin then moved to stripping him of his knighthood and it was a death that Gwaine would gladly watch again and again if it was at Merlin’s hands. The chainmail was cast aside, the cloak thrown over a chair, and the sword noisily skimmed the floor until Gwaine was stood in only a shirt and his trousers, equal to Merlin. The only armour Gwaine had ever wanted covering him, since that day at the tavern, was Merlin’s hands. Arthur hadn’t really given him an opportunity to turn down the knighthood and, even if he had, there was always the possibility – in Gwaine’s mind, at least – that Arthur would have been offended enough to maintain his banishment, and then Gwaine never would have seen Merlin again. Being a knight did have its advantages, though: Gwaine never went hungry, nor did he have to sleep with one eye open, and he had been getting into fewer and fewer brawls over the years. Though that last one was perceived as more of an advantage in Leon’s eyes, who had always been the one to drag him out of any frays and then let him cool off in the cells on the odd occasion. Even when that had happened, though, Merlin had always slipped in and spent the night with Gwaine, heating his body up to unnatural temperatures to keep Gwaine warm. The first few times that had happened, Gwaine had been terrified that Merlin would spontaneously combust, but Merlin had frequently assured him that such a trick was not possible.
So they would stand there, facing one another in silence, Gwaine’s materialistic armour strewn across the room, and then Gwaine would take Merlin gently in his hands, tracing segments of the form he knew so well, and then their souls would fuse together with their lips.
When the stars had shifted substantially, Gwaine hauled himself from his position and shook out his legs in the vain attempt to rid himself of the cramp in his limbs, slowly advancing towards Leon’s form. He gently prodded him awake, instinctively lunging backwards as the reflexive swipe came from the blankets, and held out his arms to receive said blankets when a thickened voice quietly called out his name.
Turning around, Gwaine could just make out Merlin’s hands stretching out in a half-hearted wave in the heavy darkness and, telling Leon to forget about the blankets, picked his way through the sleeping knights, guided by the dropping syllables of his name. By the time he reached Merlin, the warlock’s hands had fallen to the ground and, smiling fondly, Gwaine hastily stripped down to his gambeson and slid into the nest Merlin had made.
There were significantly more blankets than Merlin should have had – not that Gwaine was complaining – and Merlin drowsily pushed several layers towards him, turning around to face Gwaine. His eyes flickered in the darkness as his hand fell against Gwaine’s chest and, from the point where Merlin touched him, the knight could feel a comforting heat pushing into him like a blade. Gwaine realised he probably should have tied back his hair so Merlin didn’t accidentally try to eat it in his sleep, but he was too comfortable to do that. With a smile, Gwaine encircled the warlock with his arms and rested his mouth against Merlin’s forehead as his eyes closed.
‘I missed you.’
‘I missed you, too,’ Merlin murmured.
Gwaine frowned, one eye cracking open. ‘You were asleep. You couldn’t have missed me.’
There was a pause. ‘You know I wasn’t exaggerating when I said I couldn’t sleep properly without you next to me, right?’
‘I did not.’ Gwaine waited until he felt five of Merlin’s exhalations drape themselves around his throat before speaking again. ‘Whatever did you do before I came into your life?’
‘Had a decent night’s sleep, because I wasn’t aware of your existence and consequently didn’t have to constantly worry about preserving it.’ Merlin shifted against him, hands crawling under Gwaine’s shirt and settling themselves on his stomach. ‘It’s so strange to think that we didn’t even know that the other existed. That we had no idea that one day we would be right here, in this moment.’
Merlin, when tired, always became philosophical. And usually when Gwaine was tired he couldn’t make head or tail of what his significant other was saying, but perhaps the cool night air had cleared his head more than ale usually did. ‘I think I prefer it that way,’ Gwaine murmured. ‘If we’d known that the other was out there, then I think we would have spent all our lives searching. We would have pinned our entire existence on the other person and that’s...That just doesn’t feel right. Not that I’m saying I don’t love you.’
‘No, no, I know...I know what you mean,’ yawned Merlin, pushing his head into Gwaine’s chest.
Tightening his arms around Merlin, Gwaine listened to the rhythm of the warlock’s breathing pattern, trying to match his own to it, and gently kissed the top of his head. There was a slight mumble, and something that might have resembled an ‘I love you’ and Gwaine murmured it back, just in case. It had been too long since the two of them had drifted off together, wrapped in one another’s beings, and Gwaine would forever bind himself to the soft form that was quite literally touching his heart.
#so compared to moee recent ones this does seem quite fluffy...#thanks again for the prompt!!!#tbh i'm surprised the knights didn't huddle together for warmth when sleeping more often#it can get fucking cold#merlin#gwaine#merwaine#hug prompts#lit writes#bbc merlin#*more
