Title: Mere Sight Make Obedient By: Elvenqueens / @translesbianlanwangji Gift for: @flossibelle Rating: Teen + Word Count: 5478 words Warning(s): Angst, Child Death, Non-Graphic Violence, Emotional/Psychological Abuse, Uther Pendragon's A+ parenting, Hurt Merlin, Whipping Boy AU, Mutual Pining, Pre-Relationship, Hopeful Ending

Summary:

A chance encounter.

A promise broken.

Arthur was the obedient child. He was the one who stayed in line. the one who would inherit the throne. Morgana was the one who spoke out, who questioned his decisions, who went behind his back and damn the consequences.

Uther had started to lose his grip on his son. Morgana may have influenced him more than he thought, or perhaps Arthur had been going behind his back this entire time. One to draw the attention and one he would never suspect.

He was losing control of his son, and for a King and his Heir to be at odds is a dangerous thing.

Or, I write a whipping boy au cause its a royal drama so why not
