Merlin smiled, and Arthur's heart surged in a giddy flutter. Merlin spoke and he found himself rapt. He licked honey off his fingers and Arthur had to take deep breaths and drag his mind out of the gutter, because he had a much better idea of how Merlin could put that tongue to use. It was killing him in the smallest increments, and he was not even sure what was worse: his own hesitation or his selfishness.

💫Next chapter of King & Court is up on AO3! 💫

And if you're desperate for more, you can get ahead over on my Patreon!

Summary: After a toxic relationship, Arthur is afraid of getting hurt again, but then he meets Gwen, a scriptwriter he collaborates with in one of his film classes. To win her heart, he plans to cook her the best vegan food she has ever had. The idea would be brilliant, but Arthur is neither vegan, nor can he cook. In a desperate move, he enlists the help of Merlin, the obnoxious barista who works at his favourite coffee shop by day, and is a vegan food vlogger by night.

With his past as a young offender, and a history of addiction, Merlin can’t find a job as a chef, and his dream of opening his own restaurant someday seems unreachable. He pours all his passion into his food videos, but while his recipes and personality have what it takes, his video making skills are subpar at best.

Arthur and Merlin put their animosity aside and strike a deal: Merlin will cook for Gwen, and Arthur will claim he made the food, while in exchange, Arthur will help Merlin make better food videos.

It seems the perfect way to meet everyone's needs…

for the purposes of this question "alone" means you had exclusive access to a shower, toilet, cooktop, fridge, and bed (or whatever you sleep on) with some physical barrier between you and any other occupants of the building. living with a partner is not alone. use your judgement on edge cases- i don't want to hear "well my roommate moved out and my new roommate didn't move in for a week" as a yes

'I am the prince regent,' Arthur pointed out, unable to stop himself. There were many who would say his life meant nothing in comparison to his crown. A hint of a smile curved Emrys' lips, and Arthur's heart soared. He had not realised how much he had missed the sight of his happiness until it made a reappearance, hesitant perhaps, but genuine all the same. That lithe frame swayed forward as if Emrys were confiding a secret. 'That is not all you are. Let me help your sister, Arthur. Let me help you.'
