Summary
“When I first learned of the prophecy, they said I was the most powerful of all. Many believed I could have anything I ever wanted. And yet, I never thought I could have you.”
“You can have everything”, Arthur breathed out, holding onto Merlin’s hands as if he would fall to his knees again any second without their support.
“Everything I have is yours. Everything I am is yours”, he sighed out with such a heavy tone as if he had been waiting to utter these words for a decade.
He probably had.

Or: Athur had been exhausted for weeks, attempting to save the remnants of his kingdom after surviving Camlann. When one night, Merlin jokingly puts on the king's crown, Arthur can't help but fall to his knees.

Summary
“I need to take off your shirt. Do you think you can sit up for me?” He really didn't want to make him move, but things would go much more smoothly that way. “At least long enough to get it off, then you can lay back down, I promise.”
“Okay, but only because you promise,” Merlin never expected such a cheeky answer from him in this state, but Arthur rose up. It was a slow process, but he made it with Merlin's help.
He was unsteady, and he looked to Merlin like he was his one and only guide. His gaze told Merlin that he was listening, watching, and waiting. Waiting to do whatever Merlin told him to do. Which was so unfathomably unlike Arthur.
*I've made the smallest edit here, I just lengthened the scene where Arthur gets slapped a little. I had a scene in my head that I couldn't get out, but it wasn't enough to make a whole second fic for*

Summary
Arthur was used to being trotted out by Uther as Camelot’s shiny, young ambassador. Though he didn’t care much for Cenred, he certainly wasn’t afraid of him. No, it wasn’t Essetir that bred knots in his stomach.
For reasons that Arthur did not yet understand, it was the humble village of Ealdor that loomed specterlike over the journey ahead.
When a diplomatic visit to Cenred's kingdom takes Arthur and Merlin through Ealdor, Arthur must confront a secret he has kept from himself since Merlin arrived in Camelot.

Summary
Arthur was a battle-hardened warrior, trained to think in a snap and move quickly on his feet.
But at that moment, he froze.
He heard a cry of pain.
Merlin's cry of pain.
After a mission gone wrong, Arthur and Merlin, both terribly injured and barely upright, have to make their way through the forest and reach safety in Camelot. But even then, Merlin's still not safe, for the bonds of class and hierarchy put his life at risk, especially as Uther as king.

Summary
“Run!” Merlin's voice cracked.
The man sheathed his sword and ran to Merlin, giving him a quick glance over.
“Are you alright?”
“Yes! We have to run!”
The creature was screeching up a storm behind them as they booked it through the trees until they thought they were probably far away enough that it hadn’t chased them. Merlin cared less about the distance and was just grateful they had stopped because his lungs were burning. Arthur was right, he thought ruefully. He did need to work on his stamina.
Once he caught his breath again, he studied his new companion. This man had to have been either very stupid or very brave to try and save him from whatever that creature was back there. He was much less affected by the running than Merlin was. He had curly, brown hair, tanned skin and was wearing trousers and a loose, grey coloured t-shirt. His belt had a spot for him to put his naked sword. He held out his hand.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Lancelot.”

Summary
“And what of your son?” Arthur pressed. “He must want you in his life!”
“I know he does,” Balinor sighed, expression odd and unreadable to Arthur, “but I missed the chance to be a father to him long ago. He is a grown man now, and I am no fit father in any case.”
“You would be better than many!” Arthur scoffed, not realizing the emotion hiding in his words until they had left his lips. He screwed his mouth shut and glared at the table, feeling Balinor’s gaze heavy on him, weighed further by the realization that he was comparing the dragonlord to the king.
------------
Balinor did not die, and despite everything, the dragonlord's company begins to grow on Arthur.

Summary
Arthur has wanted love for as long as he can remember. His childhood was full of shame; shame for asking and shame for wanting. Merlin comes along and challenges everything he's been taught.
-----
He never stopped wanting. But he did stop begging, stop asking. It was wrong; distasteful. Good boys did not ask for love, they earned glimpses of it in nods of the head and the rare ‘good job,' only when earned.
