Author's Notes: Thanks to B for the beta and C & N for being so supportive. Happy holidays, kianspo!!! You wrote one of my absolute favorite fics from last year's fest, so I was really nervous/excited to be writing for you this year. I hope this tickles your fancy!

Fic: Lying in Wait (Merlin/Arthur)

[merlin-hols.livejournal.com]

Title: Lying in Wait

Recipient: magnolia822

Author: anonymous
Rating: NC-17

Pairings: Merlin/Arthur

Word Count: ~2700

Content/Warnings: PWP, pseudo-somnophilia, dub-con (to be safe), fingering, topping from the bottom, canon era AU.

Summary: It’s all a bit stupid, really. All a bit awkward. All a bit dangerous, to be completely honest. Still, neither of them mentions it. Or stops.

Author's Notes: Happy merlin_holidays, magnolia822! I started some serious work on something that fit the binding!fic prompt you left, but it grew far too complicated for the time I had. So I went with shaping something out of a few of your listed kinks. I hope this brightens your day!  :)

Thanks to C for looking this over for me <3, thanks to my giftee’s contact person for the quick input (though I strayed a bit from the idea we discussed), and to friends for continuous encouragement, also a HUGE thank you to the lovely mods for holding this fest, and especially for putting up with me.
