I was on Tumbler and found this AU prompt:
“it’s the middle of the night and i’m walking home alone in the dark and there’s this guy following me and he’s starting to gain on me and i found this phone booth with a lock on the door and i tried to call my best friend but my hands were shaking so badly i accidentally dialed the wrong number and i don’t even know you but help me” au
And this was born. Enjoy!

Merlin may need to submit every once in awhile, but that doesn't mean he wants a relationship, and he certainly doesn't want to fall in love. Of course, he wasn't counting on Arthur.

Summary
For the Kink Meme Prompt: Arthur/Merlin, Arthur/Other where Other is anyone
Modern AU. They meet at a BDSM club, where Arthur is role-playing a king. Merlin watches him get served by others and decides to approach him. This leads to Merlin role-playing Arthur's servant. Would love to see them both reaching for this particular dynamic as best suiting their dominant/submissive needs.

His mother had had six months after his father had died. But it was expected; they had prepared and were already rather distanced. Draco hadn’t been ready, and Merlin, he had been so in love. He knew he was counting down in weeks, not months.

Summary
“Perhaps you should take a seat,” said Violet.
Colin wouldn't remember the details of what his mother told him next. He would remember her hand warm on his knee, her eyes wide with concern, her voice gentle as velvet. All of it in stark contrast to the devastating news she shared.
Penelope was ruined.

Summary
Jim loved to officiate weddings. He'd never openly admit it, of course, but Leonard knew for a fact that somewhere deep down, in a place so hidden that even Jim didn't know where it was tucked away most of the time, James T. Kirk was a romantic sap.

Summary
Leonard McCoy deals with life and death situations nearly every day. He knows what it's like to carry the responsibility for his crew. But he's a doctor, damn it, not a Bridge Officer. He is not supposed to end up in a situation where he has to give orders that might decide over who lives and – even worse – who dies.

Summary
Steve stared at the invitation in his hands. Had been staring at it for three hours.
The beautiful, crisp paper as smooth as velvet against his fingers. He ran his thumb over the gold foil inlay, feeling the raised pattern bump against his touch.
It’s beautifully Eddie.
He could feel the threat of tears stinging the backs of his eyes and he desperately tried to keep them from falling.
He just knew. Once they start, they won’t stop.
------------------------------------------
Or; Eddie gets married. Steve is heartbroken. And Robin is the best friend we all want in our corner.Bookmarked by Top_Hatted_Octopus

Summary
It’s not like Steve thought Eddie would stay single forever, but he figured he’d have a girlfriend by the time Eddie got a boyfriend. So, when Vickie and Robin set Eddie up on a blind date with Vickie’s cousin, Steve figures he feels weird about it because he’s the only one without a date.
But an annoying little voice starts telling him maybe there’s more to it than that. He just has to figure out what it is.

Summary
The real reason Steve never really dates anymore is this: the nightmares and the secrets behind them.
In the middle of the night, reeling from bad dreams, Steve properly starts on the mixtape Eddie made for him. Master of Puppets made Eddie feel invincible once. Maybe Steve can borrow that feeling for one night.

Summary
"So, you learn anything case-related from this guy before you started plowing him, or did the fact that he's gonna explode this week not come up during foreplay?"
Dean thought he sounded incredibly normal. Sam was being infuriatingly mild about the whole thing, like Dean was even sure he had sex before he walked in on him.
Sam hummed. A straw wrapper on the dashboard lifted up at one end and started floating. "Prophetic visions are a mood-killer."
