Rating: NC-17
Pairings: Arthur/Merlin

Content/Warnings: references to child abuse, torture, and rape (no graphic descriptions)
Summary: Prince Arthur has spent his eighteenth year in a drunken haze of public debauchery, and after the latest round of incriminating photographs, King Uther is fed up. Though magic is outlawed and Magic Users are generally distrusted, Uther secretly hires a young sorcerer to keep Arthur in line, much to Arthur's chagrin. But what starts out as an antagonistic relationship becomes much more as Arthur, increasingly drawn to his secretive young warden, begins to suspect there is something rotten in the state of Great Britain. Modern Royal AU.
Author's Notes: So many people to thank for their help with this story. I had an excellent team of friends who generously donated their time to read and critique as I went along. Kisses and gropes to my (as of now anon) betas, pre-readers, and brit-picker.
corilannam, I was thrilled to receive your most excellent prompts, and found myself especially inspired by the first and third, of which this fic is a (sort of) amalgamation (with a few of your kinks/likes thrown in, of course). Happy Holidays!

Fic: I Would Find a Way (Merlin/Merlin)

Title: I Would Find a Way
Recipient: amphigoury
Author: anonymous
Rating: NC-17
Pairings: Merlin/Merlin; Implied Merlin/Arthur
Word Count: 5.5k
Content/Warnings: Canon AU (vague timeline... set in the future; deviates from canon pre-wedding.) self-cest, bondage, surrendering control, begging, sex magic, tentacles (of the vines and magic tendrils sort), sounding (again of the magic sort)... fantasizing of: bestiality, knotting. Everything is consensual.
Summary: The first time Merlin woke to see himself standing in the doorway of his chambers, he was startled so badly he tumbled out of bed.
Author's Notes: Amphigoury, I was very inspired by your request for Merlin/Merlin and your prompts were amazing. I grabbed as many kinks as I could (and then kept adding). Hope you enjoy this bit of unapologetic smut.
