Summary
There was very little gentleness in most of Arthur's physical interactions. He was a warrior, but even outside of that, his role as a leader meant that by necessity he had to maintain a certain distance and decorum that contained a different kind of violence. Sometimes he wondered if the safety of that distance was worth the ache of isolation.
Or: 5 times Arthur noticed Merlin using his gentle hands to tend to his knights and one time Merlin took care of Arthur himself.

Summary
The woman’s striking bright red lips parted in a dramatic gasp as her full cup upended itself over Merlin. It was shockingly hot, immediately seeping into his stupid snowman sweater and staining it brown. He had known it was coming— he had done it on purpose and he was still surprised. Gwen smashed into Merlin from behind and suddenly all four of them were toppling like festive dominoes to the cafe floor.

Or... the silly morgwen & merthur holiday coffee shop meet-cute microfic that nobody asked for.

Summary
Gwen once saw Merlin lick an apple before giving it to the Prince Regent.
She knew, of course, that he regularly stole food from Arthur’s plate before serving it; Gwen typically didn’t think anything of it. Surely Arthur would have made a fuss years ago, if it bothered him. The two of them had always had a peculiar and certainly unconventional working relationship.

Summary
On a long and winding road midway between the sea and the city, and at the edge of a dense and dark forest, there was a town called Eastgate.
Although Eastgate was by all accounts an ordinary town, there were several things that made it unique. Eastgate had an oddly high proportion of books to the number of inhabitants, a strategic importance that kept nobles interested enough in its security to have appointed a guardian, and a single ancient hawthorn tree.
The tree had been there before Eastgate and as the town had grown, the tree’s presence was honored. It was a symbol and a promise and— some believed— a gateway.
So, when the local innkeepers’ daughter disappears and her dear friend Nina comes to Lady Azira for help, they find themselves standing at the ancient tree and seeking answers from those beyond the Forest.

Summary
“Gaius — I mean, someone — advised that it might make things worse,” Merlin told him. He looked immediately regretful, as if he wanted to bury himself into the ground right there, in the watermelon patch.
Arthur nodded thoughtfully. If Merlin didn’t want him to know something, it was probably important.
“Gaius, huh,” he mused. “I don’t know a Gaius.” But even as he said it there was something buried way down below, prickling at his memory.
In which Arthur falls asleep, falls ill, and farms, and Merlin brings him home.

Summary
To teach an older knight a lesson about proper conduct when wearing the Pendragon Red, Arthur choses to prove that men kissing each other is nothing to be afraid about. Things decidedly get out of hand when he picks his clueless manservant for a proper demonstration. It all spirals from there...
*-*
“Sire?” Merlin stutters, but when Arthur beckons him closer, he gets up and slowly walks forward. He looks a little cautious, but sweetly clueless, apparently not realising that it’s him who Arthur is going to kiss and not one of his knights. Arthur briefly feels sorry for what he’s going to do, but then again, Merlin is his best match. The younger boy might be scrawny and narrow-chested, but he’s neither repulsive, nor an arse, doesn’t have a scratchy beard nor bad breath - in fact, Arthur has it on good authority that Merlin’s breath always smells nice because he’s one of the cleanest people he ever met and chews peppermint leaves every morning. Also, his lips look incredibly soft and full...- Language:
