Hyperpyrexia
Modern AU. Pairings: Arthur/Merlin. Dub-Con, A/B/O, hurt/comfort (4,104 words)
Warnings for >dubious consent, dubious medical ethics, fuck or die curse, medical setting
It’s just another day for Arthur, the leading consultant at Camelot Hospital’s overstretched accident and emergency department. Until, that is, they wheel in an unconscious man with a bullet wound in his thigh. It doesn't take long before Arthur realises that he's more than just another patient. Although omegas were hunted to extinction, years ago, yet, here one is. Wounded, and in heat. As an alpha, Arthur must take care of him.

The Mating Season
Modern Royal Soulmates AU. Pairings: Arthur/Merlin. 28,000 words.
On a whim, at least partly prompted by the fact that it will really annoy his sister, Prince Arthur recruits Merlin to replace his missing valet, George. As time goes by, despite Merlin's inability to iron even a single garment without leaving burn marks, Arthur starts to develop inconvenient feelings-the sort that make his soulmark throb and his heart race. But Merlin is hiding unsettling secrets, and Arthur needs to decide who he can trust. A modern-day royal magical mystery soulmate AU. In which Merlin thinks he's James Bond, or Jeeves, or Harry Potter, or something, but actually he's more like... erm... Merlin. But despite that, it all turns out all right in the end.
