Summary
The silhouette is backlit from the headlights on the Mini Cooper and he’s maybe hit his head harder than he thought because it almost looks like…
“Merlin?”
And Merlin feels as though his heart is exploding in his chest because that voice and his real name and as he looks up...the golden hair reflected in the light from the car.
Arthur Pendragon is standing, completely starkers, in the middle of the road leading up to Lake Avalon.

Summary
“I was wondering if you might come home with me.” Merlin stops mid-rant and stares at him, and then down at his panini again, and back at Arthur. This is a panini of lies and pain. He can tell already.
“For Christmas? I’ve got an uncle and a mother and a sister waiting for me at home, in case you hadn’t remembered, I’m not going home with you just because you’re a workaholic.”
“No, it’s. My mum might be under the impression that we’re a little bit married.”
In which Merlin gets conned into spending Christmas with Arthur's family and pretending to be his husband, because somehow this is his life.

Summary
“I just mean your—uh—princely decorum is not all it can be right now. It’s a little wine-drowned. Wine drunk. Wine,” Merlin tries, the words sticking in his throat. His mouth is dry; it does that when Arthur arches his back like he’s doing now, stretching himself like a fucking lion across the bed, all royal and beautiful.
“Merlin,” he sighs, waving a hand messily in the air beside him before letting it drop heavily to the mattress. “Kiss my ass.”
And Merlin is really, really not sure what comes over him, but he. He does.

Summary
Merlin is very glad Arthur’s back is turned to him, because he’s quite certain he’s just made a violently affronted face. He tries to school the expression, nose still wrinkled up dual fondness and disgust as he towel dries Arthur’s shoulders and blurts, “are you offering me your dirty bath water?”
Arthur reels around and glares at him. “Well, I suppose when you put it that way it hardly sounds generous. Or sanitary.”
