Summary: Merlin lends Arthur his neckerchief.
Comment: This story is wonderful; the unresolved tension, the things left unsaid and the exchanging of favours creates a great dynamic and I felt like I was in the tent with them.
violette-royale asked: Arthur + 18
I didn't forget the brooch! ♥

Hi! Can I combine 1 and 11 and ask for a canon era PWP? These are my absolute favourite fics.
Certainly! They’re mine, too ;)
1. canon & 11. PWP
The Look by MerartlinhurArthur has been in a state all day so it’s not really a surprise that night in his chambers when he finishes off his cider with a loud gulp, slams his goblet on the table, and tips his head back, giving Merlin the look. Shameless PWP.

Title: Together We Are Stronger
Summary: Twelve-year old Merlin's life is not easy. Growing up in his abusive step-father Uther's house, as the bastard child that Ygraine bore her lover, he has learned from a young age to be inconspicuous. His only safety is Uther's ward, eighteen-year old Morgana. With her, Merlin shares his dreams of a fantasy world inhabited by dragons, knights and sorcerers. When Morgana is thrown out of the house after a quarrel with Uther, Merlin has to transfer his allegiance to seventeen-year old Arthur, the brother he has never really trusted. Despite their initial animosity, Arthur becomes the
source of Merlin's growing infatuation. When disaster strikes again, it is Merlin who has to become the strong one. In the aftermath, Merlin and Arthur grow much closer than what is proper for brothers.
Why: This fic really will NOT be for everybody. Its an epic (60k), at numerous turns angsty, at others confrontational and challenging beauty of a fic! Read and heed the warnings that Violette provides - including incest and age difference. But this fic is addictive. It is compelling and just oh, I can’t find words to describe how much it both moved and affected me. I reread it again recently and it truly is a masterpiece. This fic has my heart.
"I'll never leave you, either," Arthur whispered that night. His body was warm and loose, but his voice shared none of that post-orgasmic lassitude. It was as clear and sharp as glass in the darkness. "Yes, you are," Merlin said, forcing his voice to be hard and his heart to be harder. "You'll go to Cambridge, and leave me behind." And Arthur held him close. "But don't you see? That's why I choose Cambridge. I can drive there, or take the bus, every morning. It wouldn't take much longer than what going to school takes us each morning. I thought you understood that. Did you really think that I would--" he kissed Merlin's forehead impulsively, held him close enough that Merlin had troubles breathing. "I'm not abandoning you. I would worry too much. I couldn't handle anything happening to you." Merlin's pain changed then. Went from being an ugly bruise to be a love-bite, the same hurt, and still not. A wonderful ache where there had only been despair before.
