Arthur/Merlin

Arthur meets Merlin and comes to the realization that he's gay. He comes out to Uther who is angry and refuses to speak to him. After a few months, Uther calls Arthur. Uther has been going to LGBT+ meetings and donating to queer friendly organizations. He is basically Pflag Mom.
At first, Arthur thinks this is some passive aggressive mind game but it turns out Uther is entirely genuine.
This would be a fic full of cute, hilarious shenanigans with a happy ending.

Awesome beginning, author! I keep checking for more - what a place to leave off! You've hooked me!

Jup, someone still enjoys this ^^

Wonderful start, I am very intrigued to see where this'll be going to!

Excellent beginning. I'm looking forward to Uther's reaction.

Second Chances (2/?)

(Thanks so much for your lovely comments, everyone!)

Arthur had been expecting an explosion as soon as he released his words. Instead, Uther merely grew quiet, bringing his clasped hands to his forehead. After a few seconds, he dropped his hands again and fixed a steely gaze on his son.

“Arthur. I don’t quite know what has come over you, but you know full well how important it is that you marry a suitable woman in order to keep up the public image of Camelot Inc. You must end this foolishness immediately”.

Arthur matched his father’s cold gaze with one of his own.

“I am in love with my boyfriend, and I will not leave him for the sake of your vanity.”

That did the trick. Arthur had seen some impressive rages from his father over the years, but he was sure that Uther’s face had never before turned quite that shade of purple.

“What you call vanity” Uther hissed, leaning forward in his chair, “is my concern for your future. I did not build this company from the ground up to see it go to ruins under the leadership of someone like you

I find this reaction from Uther all too believable, thinking that if he threatens Arthur, it will make him give up his relationship with Merlin. Looking forward to more.

Gauntlet thrown and thrown right back in Uther's face. Good on Arthur.

Update! YES! So excited and curious to see how you are going to make Uthers turnabout plausible ^^ I feel like they are both very in-character so far.

Second Chances (3a/?)

Immediately after leaving his father’s office, Arthur made his way towards Merlin’s flat. After a fight with his father, Merlin was one of the few people who knew how to make him feel better. Merlin knew that Arthur often didn’t want to discuss the argument, but simply needed a distraction, so he didn’t just stew in his anger. That tended to make Arthur even angrier

Merlin being exactly what Arthur needs is the reason Arthur chose him over his father. You've made me feel Arthur's going to be okay.

Second Chances (3b/?)

They sit quietly for a few minutes, Merlin still feeling unnecessarily guilty about the situation. However, something about the conversation didn’t sit right with Merlin. He looked up at Arthur. “There’s something you’re not telling me

The key business was incredibly cute. These men are going to be happily living together before a week passes, aren't they? They're stuck in the very best sense of the word.

Re: Second Chances (3b/?)

[eiralys76]

Aww, that is adorable. I like Arthur's idea to just move Merlin's stuff to his place, and then leave him to figure it out! He might have thought he'd been burgled!

Just found this little gem! This is very sweet, and I love how everything start with the meeting between Arthur and Uther, and how we get the backstory after that.

I'm looking forward to the next update already.
