Summary
When Arthur drops out of university, his mother sends him to work at Aunt Alice's bakery in Northern Ireland in the busy weeks leading up to Christmas. Helping out in the bakery is hard work, but Arthur doesn't mind so much, not when the deal is sweetened by one of Alice's bakers. Merlin is beautiful and kind, and he has sacrificed his long-term relationship in order to follow dreams that lead him out of the village he's spent all his life in.
Arthur has always thought himself to not get attached easily to other people romantically, but when Merlin, against all odds, shows interest in him, things get even more complicated....

Summary
WRITTEN AS PART OF THE ROUGH TRADE CHALLENGE - NOVEMBER 2021
“Jon, I need to tell you something before our guests arrive. Something important. Something I probably should’ve told you long ago…”
“Uncle?”
He’d never seen his uncle look so grave before, as though the weight of the world had suddenly been placed upon his shoulders.
“Gods, you look more and more like her every day,” his uncle choked out confusingly, reaching up with one hand to brush a wayward curl out of Jon’s eye. Jon felt something akin to dread begin to pool in his stomach. “It’s time you learned the truth of where you came from, of your true parentage...”
“…I don’t understand…”
“Jon, it’s time for you to know who your mother was…”

Summary
Arthur is a frustrated, unhappily married teacher. He used to love teaching, and he used to love Gwen, but now it feels as though happiness is an unreachable goal. Life finally starts to make sense again when he meets Merlin, a sixteen-year-old foreign exchange student.
As their student/teacher relationship strengthens, Arthur begins to have decidedly unprofessional thoughts about Merlin, forcing him to reexamine everything he believes in: his career, his marriage, and even his own sexuality.This is the text-only version of my Paperlegends 2013 story.

Summary
Twenty years after The Great Purge and the continuing effects of a High Priestess’s curse, Albion is a nation on the brink of collapse. Not even High Chancellor Uther Pendragon’s Compatibility Regime can curb the plummeting population. To add to his troubles, his wayward son, Arthur, makes no disguise of his unwillingness to wed. With good reason. Arthur is secretly leading the Movement, a covert organisation plotting to overthrow the government and return magic to Albion. Not to mention, it’s been foreseen that Arthur’s future, his destiny, is an indomitable union with a warlock—not marriage to the farm-boy matched to him by Uther’s Compatibility Machines.
