Omega Merlin: I'm sorry I didn't tell you. [Looking down to the floor]
Alpha Arthur: Why didn't you? Surely you must know I would've protected you.
Omega Merlin: Omegas are viewed as precious beings to be cared for in Camelot and other kingdoms. [mumbling but could still be heard clearly] Unfortunately my homeland is one of the few where it isn't.
Alpha Arthur: And now? [Reaching out to tip Merlin's chin up] Do you feel safe?
Omega Merlin: [gazing into Arthur's eyes] With you yes. As long as you're near me.

Prompt:
In a world where a-b-o is a thing, Prince Arthur is an Alpha. He’s been told all his life that one day he would marry an Omega, likely one of Royal blood.
There are fewer Betas in this world (the minority rather than the majority), and they are looked down on by the other genders. Betas cannot have any status and are always common no matter their birth. Betas are considered lesser, considered these sexless things. Yes, Betas have been known to have families with other Betas, but this is thought to be more of an anomaly (which they would realise isn’t true if they looked for even a moment). As a general rule they are assumed infertile, asexual. This is one of the reasons why Betas are used as personal servants to nobility.
Well Merlin, Arthur’s Beta manservant, is ready to challenge Arthur’s views, to show him just how passionate and sexual a Beta can be.

Arthur worries about his mate, their bond is new and he doesn't want Merlin to leave the castle without a beta escort
Arthur: Merlin, you're my omega albeit an unusual one, you do know that, right?
Merlin: *raises an eyebrow*
Arthur: I mean, surely Gaius can send someone else to get these bloody herbs!
Merlin: I'm still a physician's apprentice, these herbs are important, Arthur.
Arthur: *sulking*

Sweet persuasion

Merlin Prompts
Alpha/Omega/Beta
I got to admit I do really like alpha/omega verse.
When alphas come to a certain age, they are driven to find their true mate, they have some sort of connection (you chose how) that allows them to hunt down their mate. Obviously Merlin is his omega mate, but what if some one else figures that out before Arthur?  Arthur hunts down his mate but someone keeps moving him. Ideally cannon but could be modern.

Any fics w (not actually) unrequited love? Preferably pining Arthur/Bond, with happy endings:)
merthur
1. the desire beneath by insane_falcon (@insane-ohwhyfandoms)
Merlin and Arthur have been best friends through high school and university, where they eventually add benefits to their friendship. Which is where everything goes wrong—a small taste of something more that leaves them both literally starting to die for more.
~~~
dfhalsjkf the misunderstandings
2. It Was One Kingdom, Once by queerofthedagger (@queerofthedagger)
“He cursed me. I’m coughing up flowers, Gaius—what other possible explanation is there?”
“Well, there is—”
“He was mad at me, it’s exactly something he would do. Infuriating, obnoxious, goddamned sorcerer that he is probably finds it funny to—”
It is said that the sins of the father should not be cast upon the son. Unfortunately, a father's miscalculated bargain can still come back to haunt you—Arthur is twenty-one, has a kingdom to rule, and apparently, a magically binding marriage contract with the Prince of Escetir. Prince Merlin, who has magic, a dragon, great dislike for Arthur, and still no intention to back out of the contract.
The worst part is, to a degree, Arthur understands—as a sorcerer, he wouldn't trust Uther Pendragon's son either. So he simply has to convince Merlin that he can be trusted, and the contract can be broken while they secure peace between Camelot and Escetir. It's a good plan.
Right up until forces conspire against both their kingdoms, more secrets come to light, and Arthur starts coughing up flowers.
~~~
i am screaming!!
3. Not Just a Kiss by Sorceressofdragons
Though Arthur hadn’t felt it, time had passed while he’d been with the Sidhe after Camlaan. When he returned to Camelot, fully healed and with Merlin at his side, it was to find Gwen remarried and with a family. He grieved but stepped aside, only wanting his one-time queen and love to be happy. Several years later, he and Merlin are bespelled by a dying witch, who insists they are both fools. They soon learn that if they don’t kiss every few hours, they are stricken with a severe illness. Knowing it will put the crown at risk, they keep it secret from all but a select few and quietly adjust their lives around it. Soon it becomes apparent that there is only one cure for the spell, but Arthur has long since come to terms with his unrequited love for his manservant and is afraid of all that will change if they go through with it.
~~~
hello i am not okay
00q
A Matter of Convenience by junetangerine (culuyetille)
‘twas why the whole thing had been sanctioned in the first place: minimal disturbance of the status quo, just a blip in their routine, no consequences. So what if the Quartermaster had had an untimely, dangerous heat and 007 had been the one assigned to see him through it. Both of them knew better than to let anything come of it. (Alpha/Omega dynamics)
~~~
the pining is impeccable
2. the simplest of crimes by pdameron (@slverjohn)
Bonds says, "We should get married," as if he's simply commenting on the weather, and the circuit board Q's been fiddling with bursts into flames. The two incidents are not unrelated. * Bond and Q get married. It's not what it looks like.
~~~
there aren't that many pining!bond fics so this fic and the next are pining!q fics, but this author writes pining q so well that it would be remiss of me not to rec their fics
3. as permanent as stone cathedrals by pdameron (@slverjohn)
Q has been in love for two years, six months, and twelve days when James Bond walks away, leaving him with a bleeding head and a broken heart on a dark and noisy London bridge.
~~~
one of the 00q classics imo

Wafels and Destiny  | asilentherald | Explicit | 12,406w Summary: In which Merlin works a waffle truck in Manhattan and accidentally seduces Arthur by eating whipped cream straight out of the spray can.

So, when Merlin’s entire bedchamber filled with flowers, he sneezed, wiped his nose, and followed Arthur into the woods to show him that all an Omega truly needs to be happy are the arms of his Alpha. (Kissing, no sex.) Best Loved  | Waanderlust | Explicit | 17,578w Summary: Pastry chef Merlin is damned if he’ll let that snobbish Arthur Pendragon win the “Best Loved Shop Award” from Merlin’s own little bakery.

And another month goes by!
In March, we received 45 fantastic fills from 23 wonderful participants, 36 of which will be listed below the cut! We've got 27 fics, four artworks, three fic + artwork combos, one fic + moodboard combo, and one lovely gif!
Since peach is still pretending people are interested in the stats part of the monthly round up, she's going to prattle on a little longer about ships. Gen/no ships came out top again this month with 16 works, while Merlin/Arthur came in second with 14. Merlin/Gwaine is third with two fills, and then we've got Gwen/Morgana, Merlin/Will and Lancelot/Will all with one.
(Another fun stat for you - there are only six works for Lancelot/Will on ao3, and a third of them are bingo fills!)
Now, finally, the bit you all care about: the fills themselves! Remember to check the warnings and ratings, practice self-care when clicking on those links, and leave so much love for the fabulous people who've created them!

As a sign of peace, the Druids gift him a dragon egg.

Merlin's own star is on the rise too, with the Proms and a new world tour. They've always been good for each other ... so maybe this is just the beginning of something even better.

Prompt:
Despite all the noble Omega’s his father keeps parading before him, the only one Arthur wants to take as his mate is his Beta manservant (if he’s amenable).
However, he doesn’t know the secrets his servant is keeping from him. One will make his hopes and dreams easier, more attainable, whereas the other will make it infinitely more difficult.

Queen Morgana rules Mount Olympus with an iron fist, and when she proposes a match between god of spring Emrys and her estranged brother — the god of death Arthur —there can be no refusing.
But in the Underworld, Emrys, who prefers to be called Merlin, discovers that his marriage comes with a catch: his new husband resents his sister and her realm, and has no time for Merlin. Quickly, their mutual apathy turns to mutual loathing. Arthur grapples with his new marriage and holding onto his resentments while Merlin seemingly finds himself with only one option — to overthrow Arthur and install himself as the ruler of the Underworld.

- Operation Blue banana

If Jason had been using his brain, he would have called it off the second Percy called it 'Operation Blue Bananas'.

Now Jason just has to try to make sure it doesn't make him completely lose it.

WIP Snippet: Untitled Pureblood ABO
James Potter freezes at the sound of glass shattering on the stone floor of the Great Hall. He jerks around as quiet falls over the previously clamoring students. The room is rarely anything but loud; the fact that silence has fallen across the table in waves means this isn’t a casual error. Someone didn’t just accidentally knock over a crystal goblet.
The Ravenclaws are craning their necks at the Slytherin table, which is all the information he needs. They rarely act like rubberneckers, for all that they’re inherently nosy and wanting to know everything about everything and everyone.
Seriously, is there anything more nosy than a Ravenclaw looking for information or gossip or the like?
It’s the stunned look on the Slytherins’ faces that really gets to James, though. He hasn’t seen that many purebloods so visibly stunned in his entire life. Each and every one of them are staring at Master Omega Regulus Black.
Regulus Black is the highest ranked Omega in the school. He’s assumed to be the highest ranked Omega in Avalon, but James knows that isn’t true. Because, if it were, James would know. After all, James Potter is descended from Arthur Pendragon himself. Has been named by Mother Magic as the High Alpha King of Avalon.
Still, Regulus’s porcelain skin is even paler than normal. His stormy gray eyes are distant, as if he’s seeing something beyond the walls of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry itself. His tousled black curls are a harsh contrast against the paleness of his skin.
Given the attention focused on him, it’s obvious that Regulus is the one who dropped and shattered a goblet. That makes no sense, though. Regulus is especially graceful. James hasn’t ever seen Regulus be clumsy a day in his life. And seeing as Regulus’s older brother is James’s best friend and has been all their lives, he has a plethora of experience and memories to draw on.
Regulus stands with alacrity, his Omega aura spreading out across the Great Hall.
Shock-awe-disbelief-honor-anticipation fills the air.
“What is going on?” Lily Evans asks.
“I’m not sure,” James replies.

10 Characters | 10 Fandoms | Some Tags
Thank you for the tag, @starlight-and-thunder!
Molly aka. Eva Wei (Oban Star Racers) - this precious girl has been one of my favorites since discovering this underrated show. She's got such a great personality, and I love how a show in 2006 really said "we are going to allow this 15 year old girl to be angry, bitter and sad and have the ones responsible for it actually acknowledge their wrongdoings". Absolute gem of a character and story.
Flulu (I Was a Teenage Exocolonist) - as a lot of my newer followers probably know, I absolutely adore Flulu. She works so hard for the colony, all while also trying to take care of Sol to the best of her abilities. I love how, even if you make choices where their relationship isn't the best, you can still tell that she loves them and that everything comes from a place of genuine care.
Arthur Pendragon (Seven Deadly Sins) - my boooooyyyy!!!! Arthur is my absolute SON, and what the author has turned him into is criminal! SDS in general is a big ol' tire fire, but Arthur was the one precious, shining light in the darkness, and I hate what he's become in the sequel. Still love what he used to be, though, and that's the character I cling to.
Su Lüxia (Cheating Men Must Die) - want to see justice done for the characters who suffered, just so the so-called protagonists could have their happy ending? Well, Su Lüxia is here to do just that! She is a Queen and not at all a good person in the traditional sense, but she doesn't need to be. I like Lüxia for the catharsis she brings, whenever the bad people finally get what's coming to them, and for the hints of her true self shining through in those brief moments.
Naven Nuknuk (Epithet Erased) - a mild-mannered little man with a lot of power, who cares for a group of children and probably has a secret agenda? Yes please. I adore characters who are morally grey, but hide their intentions so well, you don't know where you've got them. Add in a soft spot for kids, and I am guaranteed to love them.
Qifrey (Witch Hat Atelier) - a mild-mannered man with a lot of power, who cares for a group of children and definitely has a secret agenda? (Wait... this sounds familiar.) I love Qifrey for all the same reasons, I love Naven, and I'm not afraid to say it. He's also just precious, and I would die for him.
Sidon (Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom/Age of Calamity) - I love Sidon so much, I actually squealed at his re-appearing in TOTK. Anytime I see this man, I smile. He deserves good things, end of story.
Orie Harada (Oli Oli Soup) - Orie is a comfort character to me, living the life I dream of. Working as a bookbinder, and spending her days eating good food and being enthusiastic about it. She's funny, creative, and realistic in all the best ways.
Alpha (Yokohama Shopping Log) - Alpha and her story falls into a similar box as Orie and Oli Oli Soup: a character and story that brings me peace and comfort, even in the quiet melancholy. On every re-read I smile, laugh, and cry with Alpha during her time in a world that's slowly falling apart, but even so life still goes on.
Marak Sixfinger (The Hollow Kingdom) - the ones who know me for my Elsewhere University fanfics are aware, that Foxglove is Jareth's (Jim Henson's Labyrinth) son... but Foxglove himself is actually more inspired by Marak of Clare B. Dunkle's Hollow Kingdom books. He's cunning, he's a smartass, he's every bit the tricky goblin king I adore, with a soft spot for his not-fully-human wife. This guy is 100% why I love Foxglove and writing him so much.
100% no pressure tags: @clearwillow @stars-for-thought @lovelesskiaa
