“Do you want to talk about it?” “No,” Arthur rasps, already pulling Merlin to him and sliding his hands beneath his shirt. “I really don’t.” “I understand, I just—” Merlin shakes his head, then leans down, kissing him. And as they fall into the night together, Arthur can’t decide whether he’s more relieved or disappointed that Merlin never finished his sentence.

“He will kill me, Arthur, and he won’t even care.”
“So let’s leave. Let’s go now. We’ll go to the airport and catch a plane and he’ll never find us.” Arthur tries to impress upon Merlin that he’s absolutely serious, so he strides further into the room. Merlin smiles as he looks up at Arthur, his eyes incredibly sad.
“I’m telling you, Arthur, he will find me.”

Their bodies ended up wrapped together, lying on the floor in front of the dancing fire. They both held their breath and looked at the flames, watching the dance of the different colours. It looked as though the red and the yellow were dancing around each other, combining a bright orange light. A little bit like them. Arthur was the intensive red colour, a colour of passion and drama, but also representing strong emotions such as love, anger, courage and strength. On the opposite, Merlin was the soft, bright yellow, the picture of optimism. He was the light that confidently guided Arthur. Melting together, they always encouraged each other, it gave them warmth in cold and lonely nights. They were not only like two sides of the same coin, but also like the moon and the sea, the stars, and the sky, it all belonged together.

Merlin licks his lips, forgetting for a moment about how swollen his mouth is. “No matter how hard you try and protect your people, there will always be men like him who crawl out from the woodwork and show only contempt for those beneath them in station. It is just the way things are.”
Arthur frowns at Merlin’s words. He hates it when he’s self-deprecating. “One. You’re the court physician. Two. You’re —” The adrenalin still flowing fast and furious through his veins makes him throw his usual caution to the wind. “You’re mine.”

Merlin returned to his scribbling. “And, yeah, I like it,” he mumbled, eliciting a questioning glance from Arthur. But before Arthur could even ask what Merlin was talking about, Merlin said, without ever looking up from his paper, apparently sensing Arthur’s question, “Your cologne. It smells really awesome by the way.” Arthur chuckled. Merlin was amazing.

“Merlin-” He begins warningly, “-I swear I won’t come to bed for a month.” “You’re fibbing Arthur.” “I am not!” “You can’t even last a week without pinning me to the-” “THERE’S A CHILD IN THIS ROOM.”

The Prince smiled fondly, and said, “You look adorable when you blush.” Merlin groaned. “For the thousandth time, Arthur! I. Don’t. Blush!”, Merlin said, blushing furiously.

Right now, though, they were together, alone, and Merlin felt his destiny’s breath against his skin as the man stepped even closer, staring at him with soft but questioning eyes.

The grin that split across his face was wide and his cheeks hurt from smiling like that. He bounded off out of the room and leaned against the door. He took a deep breath and went to find someone to tell Gaius that his visitors were in his chambers and another servant to grab Arthur while he set off to ready the horses. The future, that future, was waiting for him and Merlin couldn’t help but run towards it with open arms.

“Stay with me tonight,” Arthur whispers, “and every night.” Merlin smiles at him and leans in halfway, pulse fluttering. Arthur stops just short of closing the gap between them. He reaches up and traces his thumb along the rise of Merlin’s cheekbone so reverently that it makes Merlin’s breath catch. “May I?” Arthur asks, ever the gentleman.

The only warning Merlin got was a creak of Arthur’s chair, and then he was trapped in the crook of Arthur’s arm, his head on the receiving end of Arthur’s knuckling against his scalp. He flailed uselessly and tried to trip Arthur to the ground. “Get off, you maniac prince!” “Take it back, you know I can write!” “Help! The prince has gone insane, he’s attacking servants!” “Why, you—”

When Merlin kneels by the bed again to pull the covers over the prince and bid him goodnight, Arthur grabs his hand in the two of his and squeezes as though Merlin is the life vest keeping him afloat. “Stay,” he whispers, voice shaking, both from the cold and something else. He’s barely awake, one foot still in the world of dreams, the other, buried beneath the sheets and blankets, the only things between him and the unforgiving winter air. “Stay with me.”

“They’re a coward,” Merlin answers immediately. “They’re too ashamed of what people might think, of what they might do, to ever admit the truth about themselves, and that makes them pathetic, and—and spineless—“ “No,” Gaius says, voice gentle, yet serious. He takes off his glasses, sets them on the table with a sigh, piercing Merlin with a clear stare. “No, Merlin. It only makes them scared.”

Reblogging this as a reminder in case anyone is interested in submitting a quote! And thank you to everyone who has, it’s been very helpful. :)
Hi! I'd like to submit a quote, but I'm not sure how to share the link that way (so that the words of your choice are underlined and when you click on them it brings you to the page) Could you show me how to do that? Thanks!
Sure!All you have to do is select the text you wish to be hyperlinked, and click the little link button that’s up by all your other formatting options, like so:
Tumblr media
which should then bring up a box where you can put the link
Tumblr media
And since you’ve already selected the text you want it to be on, you don’t need to put anything in the ‘Title‘ section.
We have had some people just put the link in after the quote and source info, which isn’t really a problem, since the admins have to edit the post to add the tags anyway. But if you can, please do it like this. :)

Can you help me find a fanfic from A03? The main quote I remember is Merlin asking Arthur “Where’s Will? He won’t laugh at me?” And that Merlin had some how gotten tossed in a lake I believe and got sick and confused. And that he got a fever at one point I believe also. Thank you.

Hi hello! This is Mattie. I know some of you have been wondering about this blog since it’s been about... 7 months since it last updated. I kinda feel bad about it, because I know Ruth really didn’t want to just let this blog die off, after all the work that’s been put into it. It’s why she took on more mods in the first place. The last time I was active here, this blog was mostly being run by about 2-3 of us on regular basis. And now I’m not really active in the Merlin fandom anymore, so I haven’t kept up with it. I’ll probably queue up the submissions we’ve received, but as I haven’t been reading any Merlin fic myself lately, I have nothing more than that. And I can’t promise I’ll be consistent with running this blog, but maybe I’ll try to check in now and then and post some submissions if I have the time. It can be hard to keep up with, even though it might not take as much work as other kinds of archive blogs, it’s still not nothing. I can’t speak for the other mods and how they’re doing, I haven’t spoken to them lately. I just thought I’d give you guys a bit of an update from my end. Thank you all for your continued support. <3
