It makes Arthur pause, warm with fond remembrances of finding poor lads in such a state, these boys that were so suddenly affected by the pollen when the flowers popped open underfoot. You could find these boys writhing all over Camelot’s woods, sometimes just freshly heated, ripe, untouched by any other.

WARNINGS: age difference (underage as well) and extremely dubious consent

Modern AU with magic. Sex or die curse. They've had this arrangement for years now and it works. For Arthur, it's a duty, one he used to enjoy but doesn't anymore, and for Merlin, it's just something he has to do, like eating reasonably healthy food and getting enough sleep. The sex is part of their routines, a secret neither of them admits to anyone else, especially not to their partners. But maybe there is someone out there who can help them. And maybe, when faced with losing their connection, Merlin and Arthur start to rekindle a latent flame.

Prompt: Merlin is extremely shy and painfully self-conscious. His magic subconsciously works to make him quiet and faceless and blend into the background. He falls in love with Arthur, but from a quiet distance. Unnoticed and unappreciated and alone, Merlin gives everything to Arthur who doesn’t recognize the love and loyalty that is right in front of his face.
