  Summary

  In which Merlin is immortal, used all of his free time to do things because he'd go crazy otherwise and got filthy rich like an old vampire without meaning to, hung out with Shakespeare and a bunch of other people because why not, got gifted a pretty Cadillac that he hates by a charity he'd forgotten he'd donated to, and has a too-high alcohol tolerance for his liking.

  Oh, and he bought Avalon Lake.

  Because "Shut up, I just like looking at this lake and no, I don't need help, mental or otherwise."

  Summary

  Let's take a moment to thank whoever decided that Camelot is warm enough for Arthur Pendragon to sleep shirtless.
  This fic is basically me simping for Arthur going to sleep in a bunch of red and gold sheets like a five-star meal.

  Inspired by that one scene in Episode: s02e01 The Curse of Cornelius Sigan
  I just HAD to write this one before I combusted.
