    Summary

    And as if that wasn’t annoying enough, Arthur had another, equally pressing concern. The offending item was none other than his clothes. The simple fact was that they were too fine. As King, he was used to a certain degree of fineness in his clothes — something he appreciated even more after having worn Merlin’s scratchy clothes for a day — but this was too far.

    At first, it was nothing too noticeable. He would become distinctly aware of his purple shirt pressing into his back or his dark trousers just brush his legs, innocent touches at his knees. Arthur didn’t think much of it but it was when those touches became persistent that he found he couldn’t think of anything else except them.

    His underclothes would tighten slightly but before Arthur could check for the source, the sensation disappeared. His trousers would trace his inner thighs momentarily, or his shirt would ghost his stomach, not unlike a lover’s touch. Still, Arthur held his head high and ignored the strange case of his clothes touching him. He was just imagining things, wasn’t he?

    But then his clothes took it a step further.

    Or Arthur's clothes are behaving very strangely. But he's not completely opposed to it.

    Summary

    Arthur died. Then Arthur wakes up. One week after Merlin begins his service as his manservant. Ten years worth of future knowledge is at his fingertips and the chance to make everything right.

    All he has to do is rebuild his friendship with Merlin, convince Morgana he can keep a secret, remember how to argue as a prince and not a king, and woo Guinevere before Lancelot shows up.

    Oh, and minimize the casualties that apparently Merlin’s had to deal with all these years.

    But Arthur is the Once and Future King. He’s done it once, and he will do it again. Hopefully.

    Summary

    It’s been over a year and a half since Arthur died. Or, more accurately, woke up. Technically, he dies in eight and a half years. Well, if he messes up, that is, and he is determined not to.

    But Arthur feels the grip of the king tightening with every passing day. Morgana’s magic grows under a father that would not accept it. And if his growing attachment to Guinevere would only bring more harm to her than good, then it should be best to let her go.

    Merlin, of course, is of no help while Arthur continues to keep the secret of his resurrection. But should Merlin find out, he fears that his friend will be too young to understand his actions.

    So Arthur waits. For it is written that the Once and Future King will take his throne. He only has to decide when.

    Summary

    “Merlin,” Arthur grumbled to his servant, who was sitting by the fire Merlin looks over his shoulder at Arthur curled up in his bedroll. “Get over here, it’s cold.”

    “You want me to come and cuddle you for warmth?” Merlin asked, tauntingly, but makes to stand up anyway.

    “It’s not cuddling,” Arthur insisted, though he opens his arms for Merlin to crawl into them. “It’s called survival. I’m stealing your warmth. It’s your duty to make sure I’m kept comfortable, is it not?”

    ~~~

    Arthur doesn't realise Merlin is his Favourite. Merlin has no idea what a King's Favourite even is. Everyone else in Camelot knows Merlin is Arthur's Favourite.
