Summary
In the months since Arthur became king, he has repealed the ban on magic, appointed Merlin as his Court Sorcerer, and made peace with the Druids. The Golden Age of Albion must surely be at hand—if only he and Merlin could stop arguing long enough to enjoy it.
Or: Merlin and Arthur fall foul of a proximity curse. What could possibly go wrong?
Written for Merthur Glompfest 2026.

Summary
Merlin skips a year of school when he is seven and ends up in Year Four instead of Year Three. The older kids all pick on him and the worst is by far Arthur. A stolen book brings Arthur and Merlin together, and they become best friends. Sadly, nothing they do can stop Arthur from being sent away.
Morgana pressures Arthur to hit on a guy in the pub. He does it to shut her up, but it turns out Emrys is actually a lot of fun to be around. One date turns into many. Arthur has never been happier.
Seems like fate had something else in store for Arthur and Merlin after all.

Summary
“Is this why you’re doing this?” he breathed.
Merlin went silent, sitting back and licking his lip nervously, the croissant in his hand forgotten for a moment. “What do you mean?”
“Is this why you don’t sleep or eat?” That made Merlin’s eyebrows knot in confusion. “You’re punishing yourself, because you think you deserve it for not being ‘productive’.”
or
Merlin has been struggling with procrastination, a fucked up sleep schedule and meal skipping for a while. Arthur is there to help him.

Summary
When a curse spells death, Merlin wants nothing more than to leave behind as little pain as possible. He figures some would miss him, but most wouldn't really care. He does not comprehend the grief he will leave behind. Why would he? There was no way that Arthur loved him as much as Merlin loved him. Right?
