    Summary

    This is a character study, based on the scene in Arthur's chamber after Uther dies. The dialog in the first part is mostly the same as in the show, "The Wicked Day" by Howard Overman (S04E03). It was my desire to get into the heads of Merlin and Arthur, and discover the thinking that lie behind the dialog. The latter part of this story veers away from the script a bit and includes some new action and dialog. Colin Morgan and Bradley James were brilliant in their performances on BBC Merlin, especially in scenes like this one. This is my first go at a fanfic, so I started with something small. I hope it is enjoyable.

    Summary

    Warning: it is implied that Lucius is suicidal, but there’s nothing graphic written. There’s also feelings that hit a little too close to home.

    Lucius angst (with a happy ending, dw) inspired by his tales:

    “No one seems to appreciate Lucius’ attention since his answer to all problems is, ‘Go for a run, and you will feel better.’”

    And

    “‘Even in the most awful situations, the deputy captain chooses to laugh. When we laugh with him, everything seems to become better.’”

    Summary

    I couldn't think of a title, help-

     

    Merlin could see men from beyond the trees making their way up and around the hill. Bandits. They would surround them, ambush them. He needed to warn Arthur.

    Summary

    "Arthur was riding with his knights, cold autumn wind blowing in his face, making his eyes water. Fallen leaves and scattered branches crunching under the hooves of the horses. Arthur wiped his eyes, pretending the tears were only caused by the wind. His father had ordered another raid on a druid camp, and this time, he had tasked Arthur to lead the attack. In Uther’s eyes, this was a great honour. Arthur failed to see the honour in the slaughter of innocent people."

    Summary

    “Merlin,” Arthur gasped softly, shivering at the cold air coming through his window, “You shouldn’t be here… it’s not safe—last time you were almost ca—”

    “Shhh,” Merlin hushed him as he walked over to the bed. He climbed onto it and sat beside Arthur, reaching up and cupping his face.

    “I missed you…” He whispered, a soft, adoring look in his eyes that made Arthur melt.

    “I… Missed you too…"

    OR

    Prince Merlin of Lledrith, son of King Balinor and Queen Hunith, met Prince Arthur of Camelot (of Uther and Ygraine), during a meeting between the Kings to discuss alliances.

    Things went downhill with the Kings. Balinor was king of a land of magic and dragons & their lords, Uther a king who fought to wipe out all magic… While a hatred formed between the Kings, neither noticed a bond forming between their sons.

    Merlin and Arthur got off on a rocky start, but after leaving for a ride in the woods, they hit it off rather quickly, even with Arthur knowing about Merlin’s magic.

    Now, they struggle to hide their relationship from their parents while trying to find a way to get their fathers to compromise on an alliance.

    Merlin se encogió de hombros, se tumbó de nuevo y cerró los ojos.
    —Si quieres dormir en la cama, tendrás que compartirla conmigo —sentenció.
    Hubo unos segundos de silencio.
    —Esto es increíble —gruñó Arthur—. Aparta —añadió, dándole un empellón nada cariñoso en las piernas.

    Summary

    Both Arthur and Merlin have hard lives. The lack of love and amount of pressure is probably the best explanation for why they ended up curled up together on Arthur's bed.
