Author: Shinybug
Rating: R
Word Count: (5,000 ish)
Genre: First Time, Humor
Summary: Arthur had to spare a thought to be impressed at how many slanderous and untrue things Merlin had managed to insert into such a brief statement: that Arthur liked to drink, and that when he did drink too much he had a tendency to inflict bodily harm upon his manservant, either in the form of beatings and/or possibly sodomy, and that chambermaids were more or less involved in these indiscretions.

Arthur was tipped back against the wall, his mouth open for breath and staring at the small arrow-slit window over Merlin's head, trying to work out how it could possibly be that good with Merlin, of all people.

The Crown of the Summer Court, (24,773 words)
Arthur/Merlin, explicit
Warnings for kink! I think it is fairly fluffy kink but still, you know, kink!

"The king sent me to get you," Merlin said, with a tone that implied strongly that he wasn't rolling his eyes where Arthur could see, but just wait until his back was turned. "He said you're to get changed into formal clothes and meet him in the Great Hall, there's a delegation coming from the Summer Court."

What Child Is This
by lamardeuse
NC-17
Pairing: Merlin/Arthur
A/N: Modern AU. Based (very loosely) on this 1939 movie with David Niven and Ginger Rogers, in which Niven is the Son in (wait for it) J.B. Merlin and Son Department Store. THIS IS TOO BIZARRE FOR ME TO BE MAKING IT UP, OKAY. What's even more bizarre: I did not remember that fact when I first thought of making this a Merlin fic, though perhaps it was burned into the dark, cobwebbed recesses of my brain.

the piano: masterpost

Title: The Piano
Rating: M
Total WordCount: 43K
Genre: Romance, Tragedy
Pairing(s): Arthur/Merlin, Merlin/Valiant
Warnings: Domestic abuse, violence & mutilation, minor character death, attempted non-con, homophobia.
Author's Notes: This has been written for reel_merlin , round 3, based on the film "The Piano" (1994) set in post colonial New Zealand. A huge thank you to my amazing beta, musicsage92 without whom I would have been completely lost. Also much love for nachte , who created the stunning piece of art to go with this fic.
Note for Readers: There are many pieces of music embedded into this fic - an author's plea for you to listen to them The whole fic revolves around music and it reads best if you click play when you see the embedded media throughout this fic. A complete soundtrack can be downloaded separately.

Summary: In which Merlin is a mute pianist.

When Freya dies from fever, unable to fulfill a promise of marriage, Merlin and his daughter Morgana are sent far away to the lonely shores of New Zealand where everything Merlin owns becomes the property of one Stewart Valiant. Silent, with only music for company, Merlin tries desperately to save his piano when Valiant refuses to take it with them and abandons it on the beach. When Valiant sells the piano to Arthur Pendragon, Merlin is forced to make a choice. And so begins a love affair, a journey with irrevocable consequences.

Крайне красивая и грустная вещь со счастливым окончанием. Иногда кажется что вместе с музыкой сливается во вполне живую картинку может и типичного, но бережно прорисованного романа.
