Summary
Written for the 2012 BoxOfMagic Merlin Big Bang
In the aftermath of Merlin's battle against Nimueh, the rain seems a minor complication, perhaps even a cleansing influence. When the rain doesn't stop, Camelot is pushed to the brink once more. This time, Arthur may be in over his head. Contains: a lot of wet boys in emotional scenes, Arthur knowing more than he lets on, Merlin being an idiot, both of them being a bit stupidly heroic, telepathic chess, rain (lots of), war, making out against a tree, coincidental druids, co-opted history, co-opted myths, magic, coming of age (metaphorically), and more magically annoying yet surprisingly un-floody water than you can shake a stick at.

Summary
Kings, even new ones, were not supposed to long for their menservants. They shouldn't let their eyes linger on their wrists, the plump of their lips, or the shape of their thighs. Arthur knew this, but he still wanted. There was nothing about Merlin he didn't want.

Summary
In the morning, Merlin knows, Arthur will don his crown again. But for now their world is only Arthur’s drowsy kisses, and Merlin tracing circles on Arthur’s bare chest, and the night outside is deep and dark and still. There are no conspiracies, no dragons, no prophecies relentlessly unraveling.
Merlin wishes, selfishly, that dawn might never come.
(And the dawn obeys.)

Summary
“Perhaps we are doing her a favor then,” he says, pausing to chew the inside of his cheek before adding in a measured, careful voice. “I wouldn’t want to live without my love, either.”
Arthur whips around in the saddle to stare at him, eyes hard and dark, like the storm clouds building on the distant horizon. “What love? You haven’t got a love,” he snaps, like he’s the sole keeper of all Merlin’s secrets.

Summary
Liv is looking at her out of the corner of her eye. Little flickers. Like a fish in a creek in high summer, darting round your ankles. Close enough to touch; then gone again.

“You’re drunk.”
“Could I kiss you goodbye?” Robert goes on, and it’s soft now, it’s almost serious.
