Title: Undisclosed Desires
Fandom: Merlin
Pairing: Arthur/Merlin
Categories: First Time, Romance, kind of PWP, Attempted Suicide
Length: Long (~12,000 words)
Warnings: kink exploration, breathplay, watersports, rimming, spanking, D/s, humiliation, boot-licking and hair-pulling all come into play here. Also, Arthur is little suicidal in this- not in any serious way, but still. Those who are easily squicked, please take note.

Summary: Nearly drowning at the gates of Avalon has left Arthur with a half-formed need for something he doesn't properly remember, and his quest to satisfy that feeling has him "accidentally" falling into the nearest body of water. Together he and Merlin learn to trust each other, awkwardly figuring out each other's kinks along the way.
Review:
Ok, this'll probably be unbelievable to some of you, and a disappointment to others, but this fic is not as kinky/smutty as the warnings make it out to be. It is, however, a really excellent story on two levels- one is the story of how Arthur and Merlin get together and explore the limits of their relationship, and the other is how Arthur is affected by all the magic that surrounds, ensnares and binds him to Merlin and Albion. I loved how they are both bring different kinks and preferences to the table, that it isn't a "strictly vanilla Person A learns to love Person B's sexual kinks!" story. They create something that is greater than the sum of its parts, and it is amazing. On top of that, this is seriously well-written. If you're feeling adventurous, click below!
