Summary: “So, thank you both for coming in. I must say it was a delightful coincidence when you both auditioned for the film and I think it will work out well for the… intimate scenes we want to portray with Andrew and Gregory. I wouldn't normally ask actors to be so... hands on. We would shoot around it. But... given your relationship status and the fact that we want this film to be grittier, real and honest. We would be thrilled if you'd consider... going a bit further than the script? What I mean to say is: would you be willing to touch each other on camera?”

Title: Between a Knot and a Hard Place
Rating: Explicit
Pairing(s): Merlin/Arthur Pendragon (Merlin)
Summary: Arthur slowly blinked his eyes open. His head ached and as he pushed himself up, he struggled to focus on his surroundings. He had some vague memories of being accosted. There had been a small scuffle between himself and a bandit, and the other men… He frowned. The other men had been sorcerers and Merlin—the idiot—had drawn their attention to him. The last thing Arthur could remember is diving to knock Merlin away from getting hit by one of their spells. After that it was all a blank.
Or, beware, when you get accosted by bandits and sorcerers. You might get more than you bargained for.

Summary: Written for merthurdaily's 10 Years of Merthur celebration - Day 5: Before & After/AU/Change the scene
Dashing past servants and gardeners who shook their heads fondly at the typically unconventional antics of the prince and his manservant, Merlin found himself dodging through vegetable patches and flowerbeds until he was convinced he’d lost Arthur. He crouched behind a big bush of Betony that hid him from view. Panting from his exertions, Merlin debated glancing around the purple flowers to make sure that he had really shaken Arthur off his tail.
All of a sudden he was hauled up and off of his feet and Arthur crowded him into a secluded, shady nook in the wall.
“Got you,” he purred.

Now he's stuck with a ghost for a partner, and time is running out for Arthur to resolve his unfinished business before he ends up trapped here for good. It's up to Merlin to help him figure things out so that he can cross over, but that's easier said than done when there's a murderer on your tail.

Rating: Gen
Pairing(s): Merlin & Arthur Pendragon (Merlin), Gaius & Merlin (Merlin)
Summary: Next to me, the prince stirs, and I focus myself on him. The fact that he fights the poison still is a testament to his strong will; he is, a warrior through and through, just as Uther intended him to be. Magic wants to take him. It wants to right the wrongs that were caused by his birth. They come for Arthur over and over, and though he cannot know it, he has a guardian angel watching over him. A boy who loves him so. A boy who thinks he knows what he is doing, that he can deny fate and destiny itself.
I shake my head as I mop his brow. “If only you knew, Arthur. If only you knew.”

Summary: He didn’t often do this, in truth he tried to do it as little as possible. But sometimes, sometimes… he just had to. He was only human after all. A sheepish smile crossed his lips as he remembered with embarrassment the first and only time he’d attempted it at home in Ealdor. His mother was out at a neighbour’s for the evening. He shook his head, no never inside again. The broken crockery, the carpet of grass, the newly grown tree in the house... Only outside from now on, as far as away as possible from others and only when he was desperate and he had to admit after a day like today, he was desperate.

The soft wool of the hood rubbed against his face and Merlin pressed into it, inhaling deeply. It smelled just like Arthur. It felt like he could never escape from him. Even if Arthur never felt the same way, Merlin would always crave his king.

I wouldn't normally ask actors to be so... hands on. We would shoot around it. But... given your relationship status and the fact that we want this film to be grittier, real and honest. We would be thrilled if you'd consider... going a bit further than the script? What I mean to say is: would you be willing to touch each other on camera?”

Title: Between a Knot and a Hard Place
Rating: Explicit
Pairing(s): Merlin/Arthur Pendragon (Merlin)
Summary: Arthur slowly blinked his eyes open. His head ached and as he pushed himself up, he struggled to focus on his surroundings. He had some vague memories of being accosted. There had been a small scuffle between himself and a bandit, and the other men… He frowned. The other men had been sorcerers and Merlin—the idiot—had drawn their attention to him. The last thing Arthur could remember is diving to knock Merlin away from getting hit by one of their spells. After that it was all a blank.
Or, beware, when you get accosted by bandits and sorcerers. You might get more than you bargained for.

Summary: Written for merthurdaily's 10 Years of Merthur celebration - Day 5: Before & After/AU/Change the scene
Dashing past servants and gardeners who shook their heads fondly at the typically unconventional antics of the prince and his manservant, Merlin found himself dodging through vegetable patches and flowerbeds until he was convinced he’d lost Arthur. He crouched behind a big bush of Betony that hid him from view. Panting from his exertions, Merlin debated glancing around the purple flowers to make sure that he had really shaken Arthur off his tail.
All of a sudden he was hauled up and off of his feet and Arthur crowded him into a secluded, shady nook in the wall.
“Got you,” he purred.

After Arthur is killed in a strange accident one night, Merlin can’t help but think that there's more to it than meets the eye. Now he's stuck with a ghost for a partner, and time is running out for Arthur to resolve his unfinished business before he ends up trapped here for good. It's up to Merlin to help him figure things out so that he can cross over, but that's easier said than done when there's a murderer on your tail.
One thing's for sure: as best friends for life, Merlin and Arthur won’t let a little thing like death come between them.

The fact that he fights the poison still is a testament to his strong will; he is, a warrior through and through, just as Uther intended him to be. Magic wants to take him. It wants to right the wrongs that were caused by his birth. They come for Arthur over and over, and though he cannot know it, he has a guardian angel watching over him. A boy who loves him so. A boy who thinks he knows what he is doing, that he can deny fate and destiny itself.
I shake my head as I mop his brow. “If only you knew, Arthur. If only you knew.”

Summary: He didn’t often do this, in truth he tried to do it as little as possible. But sometimes, sometimes… he just had to. He was only human after all. A sheepish smile crossed his lips as he remembered with embarrassment the first and only time he’d attempted it at home in Ealdor. His mother was out at a neighbour’s for the evening. He shook his head, no never inside again. The broken crockery, the carpet of grass, the newly grown tree in the house... Only outside from now on, as far as away as possible from others and only when he was desperate and he had to admit after a day like today, he was desperate.
