Alexei Ivey is a shy and sweet twenty five year old who has been working at Armas Marketing for a year. He is a sub who knows what he wants. And what he wants, is a man whom he wholeheartedly wanted to belong to. A relationship. Malakai Armas is strong willed, smart and the CEO of Armas Marketing. At work, he is cold, renitent and as a dom, he is nothing short of respectful and perfect. It takes one trip in the employee's elevator for him to notice Alexei and it takes him hours, wondering just how he had never noticed such a beautiful boy. Malakai knows what he wants and how to get it. And what he wants is Alexei Ivey on his knees, his hands tied behind his back and big blue eyes looking up at him.

He only heard a faint bump when he should have heard something a lot louder. Merlin's fears from the previous day came true as he sat there in bed trying to process it. The ringing had gone, but he still couldn't hear anything. OR Merlin gets injured in a fight and is rendered temporarily deaf. He doesn't want Arthur to find out, but he does anyway. Angst and hurt/comfort ahead.

When Merlin entered his chambers, Arthur was already awake, and ordered Merlin to prepare two horses for a hunting trip. "Is it too much to hope that you'll be taking Leon or Lancelot," Merlin had asked, his voice laced with fake sweetness. "Stop being lazy, Merlin. It is an honor to be invited on a hunting trip with the king," Arthur replied haughtily. "An invitation implies there being a choice, sire." Or, yet another magic reveal fic with lots of angst, but also a fluffy happy ending with Merthur romance, because apparently I think there can never be enough of them lol Cross-posted from AO3

"Only the person Merlin loves most can wake him." The girl took on the air of someone who held the upper hand over their adversaries. "Only a kiss from the person he desires most can break the curse." "Why?" Mordred questioned, "Why lay such a curse on him and offer the chance of a cure?" But Arthur knew the answer even as she said it. "Merlin desires no one. It isn't within his capability to." Takes place after 5 x 6, The Dark Tower and we pretend that Elyan never died Loads of angst with a happy ending. General Audiences M|M W|W Arthur/Merlin Gwen/redeemed Morgana Merlin/Dead Lancelot Dead Uther :) Also posted on AO3

Summary: When Arthur finds out Merlin has magic, he makes Merlin train him how to fight against sorcery. It's all going perfectly fine until Arthur decides he wants to build up a tolerance to love potions.
