Modern AU and bottom!Arthur
Title: Coming of Age
Author: sebastiansais
Rating: mature
Length: 19,500 words
Pairing(s)/Character(s): Arthur/Merlin, Gwaine/Merlin
Summary: Arthur decides he wants to be better. Modern AU.
My heart! I love this Arthur POV so so much. Just love. And what he goes through and how he changes. Brilliantly done.
Title: No Fear of Drowning
Author: i_claudia
Rating: mature
Length: 38,500 words
Pairing(s)/Character(s): Arthur/Merlin, Merlin/Cedric, Arthur/Gwen, Arthur/OFC, Gwen/Lancelot, Hunith/Uther
Summary: Arthur has always been pretty happy with his family (discounting Morgana, whom he still thinks most days could have been replaced with a Rottweiler to very similar effect), and he knows he’s pretty lucky that way.
Sequel to The Great Mustache Caper, and I am SO HAPPY it exists! Brilliant, angsty, pining Arthur, and oblivious Merlin!
Title: Rinse, Lather, Repeat
Author: leashy_bebes
Rating: explicit
Length: 11500 words
Pairing(s)/Character(s): Arthur/Merlin
Summary: Crumble fic under running water, and be sure to suspend disbelief before bathing. An epic tale of awkwardness, daft boys, and love as expressed through bathing products (yes, you read that right. Bathing products). With bonus arts.
Mostly, it's ADORBS! And also, way hot.
Title: In Service
Author: bentrumors
Rating: explicit
Length: 1063 words
Pairing(s)/Character(s): Arthur/Merlin
Summary: Arthur won't share his manservant
It has bottom!Arthur and jealous!Arthur and a little bit of rimming, what more could you possibly want?
Title: A Persistent Curiosity, or Why Merlin is So Bloody Fascinating
Author: rurounihime
Rating: explicit
Length: one-shot
Pairing(s)/Character(s): Arthur/Merlin
Summary: Arthur has had expectations put on him his entire life, in all aspects as The Prince. A prince wants for nothing, and he certainly cannot ask for what he should not want.
It's about the exact opposite of the previous fic, and the author has done an excellent job conveying Arthur's struggle in an honest and respectful way.
Title: Reward System
Author: Harlequin
Rating: explicit
Length: 7785 words
Pairing(s)/Character(s): Arthur/knights, Arthur/Lancelot, Arthur/Merlin
Summary: Each month the knights of Camelot stage a mock tournament as part of their training. Merlin is rather surprised by the reward Prince Arthur offers to the winner.
I have a thing for Arthur/his knights. This fic TOTALLY hits that, spot on. But then it's also a great Arthur character study, and a lovely Merlin POV.
