Title: I'll Take You Back to the Start
Recipient: matchboximpala
Rating: Teen and up
Pairings: Arthur/Merlin
Word Count: 8.5k
Content Notes/Warnings:
Summary: In his final year of school, Arthur did something extremely foolish—he fell in love. That mistake has haunted him ever since. Now he's about to become king, Merlin is back, and Morgana is determined to keep him from breaking Arthur's heart again. However that's going to work.

Author's Notes: Dear matchboximpala, I want to wish you Happy Holidays of whatever kind you are celebrating! I've always had a weak spot for Morgana—the not-crazy one who cares about her brother—and so I got shiny eyes at seeing your prompt. And although my muse took me off into the wilderness with it, I tried to match it to your preferences as best as I could. I sincerely hope I managed to make you something to your liking. All the best, your Secret Santa ;)

Rating: T
Pairings: Merlin/Arthur, Morgana/Mithian
Word Count: 11.5k
Summary:
Am considering donating 2/3 of my belongings to a charity, he texted Morgana as he got into his car. When he slammed the car door, having parked it haphazardly somewhere along his driveway, and made his way to the house, she had answered.
As if. The day you do anything that's not self-serving is the day I will swim naked in uncle Agravaine's duck pond.

Well, that settled that.


Or: Arthur's a bit of an arse, but Merlin fixes him in less than three months.

Author's Notes:
Dear Merlin Hols Community, this is for you because you are amazing ;). And thank you to the mods for being really, really awesome and also incredibly patient with me.
Thanks to my beta, too, for being wonderful!
Any remaining mistakes are mine. Title is from "Homeless" by Ed Sheeran.
