Summary
Set after the Merlin Series 5 Finale "Diamond of the Day".
Canon Compliant. In Character. Arthur Pendragon Returns.
Cover art by Lao-Pendragon------
For many long years Merlin waited.
For the other part of his soul, for the other half of his life. He was born to serve Arthur. So that meant he was also born to wait. Even if it took a thousand years. Even if the wait seemed never to end.
Until one day, suddenly, it did.
When Arthur stumbles from the Lake of Avalon 1,500 years after his death, he finds a world unlike the one he knew. Faced with the loss of everyone he loved, and the threat of impending prophecy, Arthur must learn what it means to be not just a king, but the Once and Future King. Merlin does all he can to guide him, even as he struggles to hide his love for his king, and his fear of losing him again.
Story includes sass, banter, horseplay, & True Love.

Summary
When Hunith arrives in Camelot with news of an attack, Merlin knows what he has to do. He is perfectly capable of driving away the likes of Kanen’s men by himself; he has been defending Ealdor since he was ten years old.
However, he has no idea of the lengths Arthur will go to to protect his poor, misguided manservant - such as adopting a disguise and following him home.

Summary
Good evening,
Please review the attached photograph and verify that it has aroused you. Furthermore, please provide photographs of your own at your earliest convenience. Thank you, and I look forward to your response.
Sincerely,
Spock* * * *
After drunkenly making out with a coworker at a mixer, Spock determines to follow up appropriately. Armed with research into socio-sexual behaviours and a list of expected next steps, he initiates what he expects to be a less-than-one-month casual sexual relationship, based on the averages he's observed with Jim's previous flings. He's going to get a good grade in behaving like a normal neurotypical human (something that's normal to want and possible to achieve).

Summary
Jim Kirk tells himself he’s fine. He tells himself the staring is harmless, the panic is professional, and the warmth in his chest whenever Spock looks at him is absolutely normal. It’s a lie.
Every mission brings a new crack in his composure. Every near-miss, every quiet moment, every accidental touch pushes him closer to a truth he isn’t ready to face.
Spock, meanwhile, sees everything except the one thing Jim is terrified to say.Bookmarked by paledreams_xls

Close Proximity by MyNewNothing

Summary
Jim could smell the notes of prunes and saddle leather in the finger or two of scotch he’d just downed in his breath bouncing back from Spock’s skin. He wondered, absentmindedly, if a single drink was enough to lower his inhibitions these days before Spock, in a lapse of judgement, bridged the gap and kissed him.
Fraternizing on a starship was frowned upon, but not all that uncommon. You got lonely, you had time to spare, were homesick or simply looked for companionship. Sex between soldiers in close quarters happened due to close proximity and convenience. And Jim Kirk was lonely. And bored. And homesick to a home he never had, really. And Spock, well, Spock was close.
Kirk and Spock are friends who have sex and don’t talk about it. It’s easy and works for them, until it doesn’t.
