    Summary

    Considering Arthur's future wife will be chosen less for compatibility than for her political value, Merlin may be the only marriage he'll have that won't end in bloodshed or a great deal of fortifying wine.

    Summary

    “These are for you.” he says, trying not to sound too sullen as he hands him the bunch of flowers...“Bit forward isn’t it?” he flips it over to show Arthur. My love for you grows is written in a fancy script. Arthur groans and puts his head in his hands. Merlin is still giggling by the time the waiter comes to ask them if they’re ready to order.

    Every single Valentine's Day Arthur gets Merlin flowers. It becomes a thing.

    Summary

    “Sometimes you do puzzle me,” the prince said with the hint of a smile in his voice. It was almost their usual teasing, and Merlin felt steadier though his stomach still flipped and his heart still beat too quickly.
    “We’ll defeat the dorocha. We will. Together.” Merlin made the pronouncement to steady Arthur too, truly believing it. He knew Arthur often did not believe in himself—despite having proven himself many times over, he still doubted his own abilities, and Merlin often decided he would not stand for it.

    Arthur gives Merlin his mother's sigil. Merlin understands what that means.

    Based around the animations by Lauravian on tumblr. Title taken from Awake My Soul by Mumford and Sons.

    Summary

    There have been rumors of Prince Merlin’s powers throughout the five kingdoms since his birth. Uther is one who covets Merlin’s power for both Camelot and Arthur’s reign, going as far as inviting Merlin to Camelot when he presents as Omega.

    When Merlin travels to Camelot on behalf of his father's kingdom, he finds an arrogant and unlikable Arthur yet inexplicably finds himself saving both Camelot and Arthur anyway before finally returning to Essetir. It is only when his younger brother Mordred supersedes him as heir presumptive due to presenting as an Alpha that Merlin returns to Camelot.

    Once again, Merlin and Arthur work together to save Camelot and then to get through the consequences of their fathers' enemies seeking revenge.
