Summary
Everyone’s parents showed up after the fire. Everyone’s but his. It left a lump in his throat, but he had forced it away, turning his attention to checking on kids and dragging the little assholes to the ambulances when they avoided them. No one had checked Steve over, but that was okay.

A one shot turned story!

Summary
Inexplicably, Steve's hand reaches out to touch the carved letters that don’t even spell out Eddie’s real name. “Fuck. Shitty first date. I mean, if you want it to be. Otherwise, it’s just a talk. Guess you’ll have to tell me sometime.” For a heartbeat, he breathes there, pretends, between inhales and exhales, that the scent of Eddie’s cheap cologne, something spicy and soothing, always mixed with earthy weed, twines into the crests of the wind.
Murmurs after a fashion, “I think he just misses you. And I miss you, and I miss him. And if you were here, you could roll your eyes with me and say something dumb, and I’d huff, and he’d groan, and we’d laugh. It’s all just... It’s all just broken now."

Summary
Merlin hadn’t done anything dumb or self-sacrificial like Arthur had feared—that was the silver lining. But that left him with one conclusion. Arthur had died by Mordred’s blade. He was no mortal, not any longer. He was a ghost.
or—it's been a few months since Camlann, and Arthur reappears as a ghost, cursed to be unseen and unheard by his loved ones left behind. It's too bad no one in Camelot is powerful enough to see and interact with ghosts . . . right?

Summary
Arthur Pendragon has spent his whole life untouched—by kindness, by desire, or anything resembling real intimacy. It never mattered. Not until a certain annoying manservant came to Camelot—Merlin—who disregarded all strict royal etiquette and showed no restraint when it came to sudden, reckless displays of affection. Now, there’s something impossible in the space between them, something Arthur doesn’t know how to name—only that he aches to close the distance.
*
A slow-burn touched-starved Arthur Pendragon story.

Guys, there was only one bed.
Guys, some obscure quest in the cold far-up mountains made them "huddle for warmth".
Guys, they might give in to this farm fantasy of theirs.
Can't I just put all the tropes in there?
