There was no need to cry. It’s just, he supposed, that this was the straw that broke the camel’s back. His entire week was awful - absolutely terrible - and this was just the thing that pushed him over the edge.

Summary
Merlin knows something is wrong the moment he feels as though his magic is about to suffocate him. He feels it tingle under his skin in the most eerie of ways, as though it’s itching to burst free. It feels as though it’s climbing up his throat, choking him as he fights the urge to unleash it. He doesn’t know what’s coming exactly, but he knows to be scared.
He fears that even he - Emrys - won’t be strong enough to fight against it. He’s terrified that if he can’t figure out their plan before they make their move, Camelot will fall.
Arthur - his destiny, his love - will fall.

Summary
“That is the absolute worst reason to sleep with Gwaine. I mean, honestly, Merlin. If you’re going to sleep with any of your friends, obviously I’m the best option.”
Merlin gapes at him. “Come again?”
Or: the one where they decide to be friends with benefits.

Summary
“Who’s at the door?” Arthur’s voice calls as Merlin continues gaping, the color all but gone from his face. “Merlin?”
Arthur makes his way over and places his hand on Merlin’s shoulder, frowning at the lack of a reaction. He turns to face the woman standing on their front porch, knowing she’s responsible for Merlin’s reaction, “I’m sorry, you are?”
“Freya. My name is Freya,” The brunette whispers, her fingers interlocking nervously.
Arthur glances at her protruding stomach and suddenly, Merlin’s shock makes much more sense.

Summary
“You know,” Arthur says, his tone softer now, sadness bleeding through. “Sometimes, I don’t think you believe me when I say that I love you.”
“What?” Merlin rears back, the words landing like a physical blow.
"I just don’t understand, Merlin. I try to, I swear, I do but it’s just--why do you think you taking care of me and me taking care of you are two entirely different things. You do things for me because you love me, so why can’t I do the same thing for you for the same reason?”
And here’s the thing, Merlin wants to answer that question logically. He knows he should have a definitive reason but he can’t for the life of him figure out what it is because Arthur’s making too much sense. Why is he so adamant it’s different?

Summary
Arthur and Merlin are both very happy with their little family, thank you very much. Lily is now seven years old and River’s only just turned two a few weeks ago. The idea of having more children most definitely isn’t on their radar, it doesn’t even cross their mind.
Until, of course, it does.

Summary
Merlin rips the door open, Arthur freezing behind his shoulder. Standing before them is a thin, pale woman with long dark hair, striking green eyes and blood red lips. Merlin recognizes his almost-wife from all the pictures he’s seen.
“Morgana,” Arthur breathes, his voice merely a whisper. Merlin steps back into his husband's space, lending him support without a word.

Summary
Merlin pulled out his phone, the blood draining from his face as he looks at the chat. “The message didn’t send. Shit.”
Arthur stared at him in terror. He felt himself flush from head to toe, which was curious because he was pretty sure all the blood in his veins had turned to ice. He couldn’t believe this was happening; couldn’t believe he’d completely embarrassed himself like this. He briefly wondered if the mortification would hurry up and kill him, if only so that he didn’t have to deal with whatever came next.

Summary
Merlin would do anything to spare Arthur the pain of watching his only parent fade away. He’d use magic to prolong Uther’s life, even if that meant putting a tyrant back on the throne, if only so he could save Arthur the heartache.
As it was, though, there was nothing he could do, even with all the magic he had at his disposal. Right now, the only thing he could do was to try to be there for Arthur.

“You don’t like her, do you?” Arthur asks after they’ve been quiet for a while.
“Fine. No, I don’t,” Merlin replies unapologetically. “I get that she’s your sister and you love her and I appreciate everything she’s done for you and Lily. I’m glad that you have her back now and that the kids get another aunt but I can’t forgive her for hurting you or Lily. Maybe one day I’ll be able to move past it but right now I want to wring her fucking neck every time I think about her.”

Summary
And Arthur’s so tired.
He’s tired of being afraid, of always always waiting for the shoe to drop. He’s tired of always hiding himself from Merlin, of trying to be the person he thinks Merlin wants him to be—the person he thinks Merlin would like best. He’s tired of restraining himself. He’s tired of constantly burying the things he wants in fear that it will push Merlin away.

“Wanna tell me what’s wrong?” Arthur whispers after a few moments pass with nothing more than the sounds of Merlin’s soft sniffles.
Merlin shakes his head. “I’m an awful father.”
Arthur frowns, taken aback. “What the hell are you talking about? You’re the best father a child could ask for!”

Summary
“I’m sorry,” Merlin sighs the second they’re in the car, running a hand through his hair. “I guess I really didn’t give you chance to say anything and like I’m wasn’t trying to make you feel like I was fighting your battles for you, I just—I hate the way they were all talking about you like some kind of fucking emotionless villain or-”
Arthur cuts him off with a kiss. “Thank you,” He murmurs against Merlin’s lips, fingers cradling the underside of his jaw. “For coming to my defense. Apparently, you’re the only one that cares to.”
