Artist's Notes: Happy holidays! I had a lot of fun (and hand cramps!) doing this piece. I was inspired by your prompt that talked of Arthur making Merlin train physically after learning of his magic--and then helping Merlin with his soreness after. I'm pretty sure you didn't mean this kind of "help," but I'm keeping the artwork PG like you asked. ;) Thanks for the prompt and thank you to the mods for hosting this lovely fest! ♥♥

Fic: Written In The Scars On Our Hearts (Arthur/Merlin)

[merlin-hols.livejournal.com]

Title: Written In The Scars On Our Hearts
Recipient: jiokra
Author: anonymous
Rating: NC-17
Pairings:Merlin/Arthur Pendragon
Word Count: ~20,000
Content/Warnings: Series Four, though AU at 4x13 because Arthur and Gwen don’t get back together. Possessive!Arthur, Angst, Rough!Sex, Magic Reveal
Summary: On the eve of the celebration in honour of Arthur’s first year as King of Camelot, the validity of his right to rule is challenged. An ancient Druidic rite of passage must be completed before evening of his birthday or he’ll lose the throne without even a magic attack in site. Thankfully, Merlin is there to ride into the wild at his side.
Author's Note: Written for jikora as part of the 2012 merlin_holidays exchange. I had an awesome time writing this, so thanks a lot for the great prompts! Special thanks to abjusticc, asoaringravyn & contron13542 for being fantastic and helping me with logic and plotting.
Disclaimer: I do not own Merlin cause I’m boring and American.
