Arthur is madly in love with his manservant, Merlin. Of course, he sucks at love in general, and have to ask his friends 6900 words

A Merthur fic set in canon era. After two years of putting up with his useless excuse for a manservant, Arthur begins to suspect that there may be more to Merlin than meets the eye. But Merlin's not the only one with a secret. And maybe destinies aren't always as they seem. AU where I use elements of all five seasons in a way that does not always comply with canon. WARNING: Contains: (some) violence, mentions of blood, and a lot of gayness (duh)

Arthur wants Merlin badly but isn't sure that Merlin feels the same so he decides to throw down a challenge. Merlin accepts. This takes place after Uther marries the Troll in Season 2. Don't own Merlin (BBC) not making any money
