Summary
Arthur stared at him. Merlin stared back, taking in the ragged clothes, the blood, the faint beginnings of a beard that darkened his chin. Arthur’s hair was longer than it had been before, and he held himself stiffly, a tell-tale warning sign of broken ribs. Still, he was alive.
Written for Merthur Week 2025 Days 5 through 7.

Summary
Laughter filled the hall as Morgana sat on the throne. “And who is going to help you?” Sneering. “In case you haven’t noticed, you are the only one left; your men left you alone. They always just pretended to care about the kingdom. When it got rough, where were they?” The silence stretched.

Summary
“Why not?” Arthur began, shrugging lightly, dismissively “You need blood to live which I have. Why not let you take nourishment from me?”
“You make this absurd suggestion sound so easy.” Merlin replied testily “I could kill you.”
“You could kill me long before this.” Arthur snorted mirthfully, “You spoke of that fact very often actually.”
“Do not jest about this━not about this” Merlin snapped, his voice sounded afraid even to his own ears. He blinked away the tears threatening to fall, his lower lip quivered “I could lose control━lose myself. I will not endanger your life to satisfy my hunger.”
▂
After spending weeks unbearably hungry, Merlin confessed that Gaius’s blood-like potions aren’t curbing his newfound appetite. So, Arthur offered an interesting solution to his problem. The warlock isn’t into the idea at first, but he may grow to relish his lover’s trust.

Summary
The young prince had learned to understand grief and its cruel, burdensome taunts. How the aching loss of someone shook the soul, rumbling like a caged wolf. Jumping to bare its claws and teeth. The unutterable sorrow could darken a humble heart, leaving resentment in its wake. He’d seen the unwavering despair and bitter hatred of a grief-stricken man. Arthur had often grown wary of fangs with callous words and sharp remarks. He skilled himself in hiding discolored bruises with the scent of pride, and hesitation with a perfected smile.
A king could not let a mere bite befall him or even a tear to grace his eye, and a king he would one day be. He was taught well of his duties. How to set an example, be the better of the greatest men.
So, when Arther Pendragon was informed of the king’s death, he only stilled within his bed. A stunned gasp caught in his throat, his hooded eyes downturn to stare at the sheets beneath him…
▂
After the sudden death of Uther Pendragon, Arthur is thrusted into the role of king. As he is haunted by his father’s expectations, he uncovers hidden truths about those he trust. One wonders what destiny has written in the blood and sweat of innocence.

Summary
A small nod was his only answer. He forced himself upright, struggling to keep his weight on his feet. Eyes downcast as Merlin helped him into the chair. He jumped slightly when the door opened again. Nails digging into his chair, scratching the wood.

Summary
It is a time of peace for Camelot and her citizens. The war with Morgana is over, the King survived the battle (I am thoroughly ignoring Arthur’s death, not happening here, no thank you), and Magic is legal once more in Camelot with Merlin having been made Court Sorcerer (once the king was calm and could be in the same room as Merlin without biting his head off). Merlin, the King and Queen, as well as the Roundtable Knights are faced with a surprise on one calm day. Not an evil sorcerer, not those who hate the ban being lifted causing trouble, not even a magical creature wreaking havoc. No. It is a group of teenagers who seem to look remarkably like certain people in Camelot and bring a lot of questions and confusion in their wake.

Summary
Everything in their life was so much better.
Camelot was safe, magic wasn’t banned anymore. The happiest people from this repeal of the ban were Morgana and Merlin, they didn’t have to hide themselves anymore. With Uther’s death, Arthur had decided to repeal the ban and since then they were trying to make Camelot better together. Merlin was court sorcerer now; he wasn’t a servant anymore. He loved being more important in the castle, but also, he missed seeing Arthur every minute. Because he was busier, they weren’t spending much time together anymore. It wasn’t doing any good to Merlin’s heart, but at least they were all safe. He didn’t have to try to save Arthur’s life all the time, his king was safe from all the evil beings now. But, why was he feeling like something was wrong, then?
In other words, Arthur is hurting and Merlin doesn't know what to do.
