Summary
A cancer diagnosis can mean a lot of things for a lot of different people, whether that means changing up their lifestyle habits to accommodate for (annoying) things like treatment schedules, or going to grief counselling sessions after a less than ideal prognosis.
For Kyle, it just means that yet another thing in his life has gone to complete and utter shit— and for once, it has nothing to do with Cartman.
Maybe.
“We're taking you out to celebrate!”
“Celebrate?” Kyle echos back dryly, unsure of whether he should be amused by the poor choice of words or irritated by them. “Celebrate what? The fact that I'm starting another round of chemo in the morning?”
This is the re-written and re-worked version of Giving Up (Not Really)

Summary
Arthur really didn’t understand what possessed his father to allow a political marriage with the druids. Still, he was a good son and a better prince, so he would obey his father’s commands.
That didn’t stop him from dreading his wedding night.
Good thing he did stop dreading it the absolute instant he laid eyes on his husband. God, why was Morgana always right!?

Summary
Gwaine was half in love with Merlin only five minutes after meeting him. Months later, he still couldn’t believe his luck that Merlin had actually agreed to be with him. His life was perfect, except for one small thing… they still hadn’t slept together.
Gwaine told himself not to push, not when it seemed that half the tavern had stories about sharing Merlin’s bed. But the waiting was driving him mad.
So when Merlin finally propositioned him, Gwaine was overjoyed — and beyond determined to be the absolute best lover Merlin had ever had.
He manages that, though not for the reason he expected. It turns out all those rumors were lies, and Merlin had never been with anyone before. Unfortunately, Gwaine only finds that out after a very enthusiastic night of sex.

Summary
Merlin's had his hands full what with being Arthur's servant, Gaius' assistant, the only thing standing between Camelot's future and its destruction by dark magic, so it's understandable that he's a little tired.
Surely if he just takes a little break while doing chores for Arthur it'll be fine, right?
Arthur won't find out.

Summary
Merlin reveals his magic in order to save Arthur, and the king kills him in a fit of rage. At first, he's too caught up in his anger to see the truth, but eventually he realizes just how big of a mistake he made.
(This takes place sometime between seasons 4 and 5, so spoilers for up until then.)

Summary
Life in Camelot has been hard after Morgana's betrayal, but when new snow covers the fields and the castle halls get a little too stuffy, Merlin convinces Arthur to go on a trip to unwind in the wintry beauty. Little does he know that since it's the Winter Solstice, his magic is significantly weakened, leaving him with no protection when bandits attack them. Worse, a snowstorm arrives, cutting them away from Camelot and any proper medical equipment.
Now, it is up to Arthur and the knights to save Merlin and make sure he stays warm.
Written for the WinterKnights fest 2025!

Summary
With a beta for a manservant there is no reason Arthur would have to worry about his pheromones giving away his true emotions.
Except, Merlin isn’t a beta.
Or
Merlin slowly loses his mind as he scrambles for flimsy excuses to explain why Arthur’s scent is growing hopelessly besotted.

Summary
In spite of himself, Arthur felt his breathing accelerate and his palms begin to sweat. He had had this nightmare before. He had had this nightmare many times, since he first saw Merlin using magic.
It wasn't real, it couldn't be. It wouldn't happen like this. The sun was shining.

Summary
The Prince, despite his best efforts, could not stop his hand from shaking as he held his sword to Merlin’s- no, not Merlin’s- pulse. The boy tried to crawl backwards a bit, away from the sharp edge, but Arthur just moved forward with him. The sword trembled with adrenaline against the sorcerer’s pale skin.
Arthur couldn’t help but notice the boy’s ruddy cheeks, bright red from the cold and exertion. The snow made light dance in his tear tracks. The neckerchief that Merlin commonly wore was discarded on the snow; It must have fallen during the fight. It left his smooth neck exposed to the cold, riddled with goosebumps, and unmarred save for the blood-soaked steel, pressing in on his pulse point. Arthur could not deny that the… thing wearing Merlin’s face was beautiful.
Merlin is forced to reveal his powers during an attack. Chaos and angst ensue. I feel like most people give Arthur too much credit in magic reveals.

Summary
The edge of the desk is unforgivingly solid against Merlin's hips. Being slammed against it hurts, but it’s a welcome pain, a pleasurable pain. The bruises that form will be a match to the ones Arthur's hands leave on his waist and the love bites he sucks into Merlin’s throat.

Summary
“Where’s Merlin?” he asks the maid. “Where’s that idiot of a Court Sorcerer?!”
“Begging your pardon, Your Majesty. I thought you knew,” the maid replies, not daring to look him in the eyes. “He’s taken ill.”
“And he couldn’t be bothered to tell me himself that he would be unable to attend today’s council meeting?” Arthur questions, voice full of acid.
“He hasn’t woken since he collapsed two days ago, Sire,” the maidservant says, blissfully unaware that what she’s saying the power to stop Arthur’s heart in its tracks.

"Sir."
"Yes?" he asks, mouth set in a grim line.
"It’s one of the omegas, sir. We…" the paramedic breaks off, and Arthur has the sudden, gut-wrenching feeling that he knows what he’s going to say next. "The drugs aren’t working. We can’t bring his heat down."

Summary
As Arthur takes a careful step forward, sword drawn, the dragon draws its head closer to its body. Its eyes are flitting around restlessly, shifting from one Knight to another — from one sword or lance to the other. It shies away from him, tries to take a few steps back, but it hits a wall of trees and shrubs and is forced to stop.
“Stand your ground,” Arthur commands, not once taking his eyes off the dragon. He moves in even closer, goading the creature into attacking him. He can hear Leon restlessly moving from one foot to another, ready to jump in at the first sign that something is about to go wrong, but he needs not worry. This isn’t the first time Arthur’s faced off against a dragon, and he has no intention of it being his last.
