Fanfic: In Progress
kuhekabir_fics: Always Yours 1/? (NC-17)

I'm Only Sleeping (Updated to part 2)

Nice Guys (Don't Always) Finish Last (Updated to part 6)
Gwen, Merlin and Morgana are good friends. They fall into the world of dating together, and while Morgana pick really peachy significant others, Gwen and Merlin have something in common: they like bad boys/girls. As an experiment, Morgana decides to set them both up with 'nice' dates. Enter Arthur.
A Bird In The Hand (completed)
Arthur thought that a double date would help to consolidate their relationship, but things would have worked better is one person of the other couple wasn't suddenly very impressed by Merlin.
On the Estate (Updated to part 8)
Secret childhood sweethearts. Growing up together on a tough estate, Uther has turned into a drunken alcoholic layabout since Ygraine’s death, angry with his lot in life he often takes it out on his son. Meanwhile Hunith is a struggling single mum, working 3 jobs to keep her and Merlin a-float.
