Summary
Arthur has always taken Merlin on every mission — unarmoured, untrained, endlessly reckless.
It never used to matter.
But lately, every danger feels sharper. Every close call lasts too long.
And Merlin is starting to notice the way Arthur hovers… and how the prince’s worry is beginning to look a lot like something else.
A slow-burn story about devotion disguised as duty, love revealed through quiet choices, and the people who become home when the world turns dangerous.
Love wins — even when it has to fight for it.
Written with a companion playlist (linked in the notes) :)

Summary
Merlin’s Clan is a very traditional one. That’s why Arthur hadn’t seen his chosen Omega but for a couple of times, always in extremely controlled situations, and Merlin had crossed only a few shy words with him. Now that Merlin is in heat, they are going to tie the knot (pun intended), and Arthur is not sure what to expect of this night. Despite having been raised with certain customs, Arthur had never seen a ritual like this.
