Old rec
This fic I read sooo long ago. I re-read it yesterday because someone was looking for it at merlin_finders and I remembered how much I loved it. So here comes this a Merlin/Arthur Merlin/Arthur/Knights Canon Era AU:
Of Restoration, by skellerbvvt ; NC-17 ; One-Shot ;
A/S: Arthur was the Crown Prince, heir to the Throne and all the responsibilities that entailed. There could be no other, High Priestess had said, according to his mother. If Arthur did not take the throne when his Father died, then there simply wouldn’t be a throne; there wouldn’t be a Camelot. There was nothing for a future where Arthur didn’t rule. As far as Arthur understood, this was unprecedented. There was always meant to be a King, yes, just as there was always meant to be a High Priestess, but the person to fill that role was incidental, except now. Now it mattered.
This is an AU where magic is cherished and Knights parties are associated with a Hand (i.e. their own personal sorcerer) whom they have to protect, love and feed. This story is a fluffy respectful and tender gang bang, with a kinda bossy Merlin in the middle. They all care and love one another so much, and we see how all of them arrived to the party, but how ultimately it's always about Merlin and Arthur. This story makes my heart swell with happiness, I can only recommend it. (oh, and Merlin's familiar is a pig. How awesome is that?)
