Warning(s): Mentions of sex work
Summary: "Hi," he said politely. "I’d like to get two rooms please."

She scoffed at him. "You’ll be lucky. With this weather we’re booked out!"

"Booked out? Are you sure? My master and I have travelled a great distance. We would appreciate having a place to uh, lay our heads for the night. One room will do, if you don’t have two."

She shook her head. "We’re all booked out."

"There’s nowhere at all? My master will pay well, I promise."

"You speak from experience, huh?" she asked with a sly grin. Merlin felt himself flush at her strange behaviour, wondering what on earth she meant. "Well, there might be something… And lest I be the one who disturbs your trade. I know men such as yourself rely on being able to be discrete. I have one last room. It's very small, only the one bed. Mind, I suppose that won’t matter much to the pair of you. You’re not here to admire the interior."

Title: Catch Me If You Can!
Rating: Teen
Pairing(s): Merlin/Arthur Pendragon (Merlin)
Character(s): Merlin, Arthur Pendragon
Word Count: 966
Summary: 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.

Summary: “You know, it’s rude to be listening to music when you’re waiting to borrow books,” said the man, accusingly.

Merlin returned his glare with a frown. “Calm down, friend. I was just getting into the mood.”

The man behind the desk snorted and looked Merlin up and down, taking in his black faded band t-shirt, dark washed jeans and scruffy boots. “As if someone like me, would ever be friends with someone like you,” he sneered. He looked down at Merlin’s ID card to read his name. “Merlin.”
