Summary
It’s not that Arthur Pendragon can’t get girls to fall for him; it’s just that he can’t seem to keep them around. Relationships and Arthur aren't on the same page at all, really, but one day there's Merlin on a bus and then it's different.

Summary
No matter how she tries to word it, the question is going to sound terribly awkward. Even if San Niang is the most trustworthy person Xie Lian knows, she might decide to simply hang up and go back to sleep.
“I wondered… I mean, since then I have been wondering if maybe what Shi Qingxuan was suggesting might not be entirely out of the realm of possibility,” she rushes through this as quickly as possible, squeezing her eyes closed as she speaks. “I don’t really know how to judge what I’m, um, supposed to feel.”
“About… women?” San Niang says, posing the question tentatively.
“Yes,” Xie Lian says, breathing it out.
“Oh,” San Niang says, just as softly. “Okay. Um.”

Summary
"A woman, barefoot, wild, and free stands on a beach in the early morning. Her heart shaped lips are split into a grin, freshly brushed teeth wine-stained and minty. Her hair billows like a sail in the beginnings of the morning light, tan skin growing golden as the sun crawls up over the horizon like a bug on a window. She stands not alone, but with a young boy, with a matching smile and small, chubby hands. They're both breathing heavy, but comfortably as they pause in their pursuits of the shore. They only pause for a moment, before suddenly, the little boy takes off again, and the mother hollers before her laughter mixes with the air of the morning sea."

Ryland Grace's major life events always seem to involve the sea in some way. Child of the waters, he is.
A little character study prose piece that I couldn't help but write, because his ocean motif is one that drives me absolutely nuts.(thank you to cedar (cedardivine here on ao3!) for beta reading this piece!)

Summary
Merlin wakes up to the same day over and over again.
A spell gone wrong has trapped him in a loop that won’t break until he tells the truth “from the heart.” He tries everything—confessing his magic, admitting his feelings to himself—but nothing works.
Because the truth isn’t meant for him.
It’s meant for Arthur.

Summary
“Are you sure you can’t do a bit of magic?” Arthur asks. “I promise I won’t behead you for it.”
“Very reassuring,” Merlin says. “Truly, that’s an extreme act of mercy on your part, my Lord. It’s almost enough to convince me you aren’t a dollophead.”
“What use are you,” Arthur mutters.
Or:
The druids call Merlin Emrys. Arthur isn't sure why they think his hapless manservant is some sort of powerful sorcerer, but it's certainly a good way to improve Camelot's relationship with the druids. It's only a little bit of a lie, surely.
Except it turns out that it's not a lie at all.

“Don’t be so daft, Merlin,” Arthur says easily. “You can be both.”
