Happy birthday,
duco_lacuna! =D
Wishing you all the long blond evil-ness you may want.
The following WIP would be more properly labeled as Arthur/Merlin/magic. I've always loved the idea of magic as a separate entity. There you have it, scorching hotness included.

Summary: The other bits of him, all little dust thoughts whirling around and him never quite catching them, never quite dwelling on them, they’re dancing attendance in his head, in his lungs, breathing them in and out as he works, as he watches, as he waits.
His magic was, and always had been, simply something he could do. Objects, all objects, wanted to move and he just let them.
[...]
His magic was ability: it reflected him. Now he was angry, extremely angry, with Arthur, enough to see some of the papers fluttering and the table jittering with the slightest tremors, begging to move. However, there, twirling through his veins, sitting in his mouth like the taste of cool, sweet plums, making the fire crackle and snap and rise, was something else. Something not him, something that made him hard and hot and something like hunger and something like thirst, and something like not enough.

Harlequin (
slashweaver) has the most accurate pseudonym in the history of pseudonyms. Deep down inside, we sekkritly like reading Harlequin romances. Without further ado:

Reward System by Harlequin

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.

Imagination by Harlequin
(Merlin/Arthur, R, 3248 words)
Summary: Arthur thinks he’s being visited by an incubus, but Merlin realises there’s another explanation.
‘And for God’s sake, don’t let him know the incubus was you. This mustn’t be how he finds out about the magic, Merlin. He wouldn’t forgive you. I can hardly imagine a worse scenario.’
‘Of course not. Woo hoo!’ And Merlin danced right out the room and down the corridor.
:♥: First Night by Harlequin
(Merlin/Arthur, Merlin/Lancelot, a bit of Merlin/Will, NC-17)
01 Someone Else02 The Second Knight03 No Ordinary Love Summary: Merlin is delighted by Camelot, and especially by all the hunky men. He thinks he’s in luck when he sees the most beautiful of them all on his first night in Camelot: a golden-haired knight brushing down his horse in the stables…
To give you an idea of how Harlequin-y Harlequin's writing is, First Night has the lines "The world is changed because you are made of ivory and gold" and "The curves of your lips rewrite history" in an UN-IRONIC manner. (Said by Merlin about Arthur, of course. Who else?)

@ IJ)
"The world is changed because you are made of ivory and jet. The curves of your lips rewrite history" <--I found this line in Maya's Drop Dead Gorgeous funny even though I didn't recognize the reference. (Until they pop up in another fanfic! In a different fandom!)
I'm a bad slash fan because I still haven't finished Oscar Wilde's Picture of Dorian Gray, and I haven't watched Velvet Goldmine =P
