Arthur/Merlin, modern AU based on A Primer for the Small Weird Loves by Richard Siken:

"The blond boy in the red trunks is holding your head underwater 
because he is trying to kill you, 
and you deserve it, you do, and you know this, 
and you are ready to die in this swimming pool
 because you wanted to touch his hands and lips and this means 
your life is over anyway.
 You’re in the eighth grade. You know these things.
 You know how to ride a dirt bike, and you know how to do
 long division,
 and you know that a boy who likes boys is a dead boy, unless
 he keeps his mouth shut, which is what you 
didn’t do, 
because you are weak and hollow and it doesn’t matter anymore. "

Beautiful start. I can feel it break my heart already.

Re: Small Weird Love 1/? anonymous July 2 2012, 00:40:14 UTC

OP here: I'm so glad someone started to fill this! I love it so far; just what I had in mind. You're brilliant. Keep going!

Oh, I'm glad!
I was (still am) very nervous about it.

Should be able to update tomorrow or Tuesday :)

Heart-achingly lovely, anon.

There's so much longing in Merlin it's making me ache. I'm left wondering how he went from invisible to being held under by the object of his crush.

Re: Small Weird Love 2a/? anonymous July 3 2012, 01:09:39 UTC

So Merlin had sat there, concealed in the shadows, doing what he did best which was looking and not being looked at. It’s not like he didn’t have any friends or that people didn’t know who he was, he was just very good at making himself scarce and forgotten if he wanted to. He could fold himself in corners and shadows, on the edges of crowds, and just let his presence slip away form people’s minds. He hadn’t fancied playing football or trying to socialize with Arthur’s mates, and hanging out with only the girls always got him teased. Mostly by Arthur. And it wasn’t quite the kind of attention Merlin wanted from him. Not by a long shot ( ... )

Merlin had forced himself to swallow and smile lightly, which had probably come off more as a grimace ( ... )

Re: Small Weird Love 2c/? anonymous July 3 2012, 01:12:11 UTC

Merlin internal flailing had had nothing to do with the fact that Arthur had known all along that he was there, and everything to do with the fact that he ,i>really wasn’t a good swimmer and that swimming made him nervous. He had wanted to say No thank you I’ve eaten too much and I wouldn’t want to get a cramp or Thanks, mate, but I think Gwen was looking for me earlier and I was about to go and see what she wanted or I can’t swim well, please don’t make me, please. But all the wanting inside of him had seemed to be seeping through every one of his pores in desperation to be so close to the object of his desire, and wrapped itself around Arthur and his impossibly perfect thirteen year-old body, his cracking voice, his disarming grin, holding on for dear life. So, instead he had said,

“Yeah, okay”

He should have known. Should have known that it wasn’t a good idea. Should have known that the second his wanting had clung to Arthur, it would just drag Merlin along and possibly, probably just kill him.

Oh Merlin.
I can't wait for more.

Re: Small Weird Love 2c/? alby_mangroves July 3 2012, 03:42:25 UTC

Perfect representation of that first big love, and with so much more angst for the shame Merlin sees in himself- God, I love him. This is really beautiful. Thank you for filling it!

Re: Small Weird Love 2c/? anonymous July 3 2012, 06:35:12 UTC

Ohhh this is so wonderful, author!anon. So much pain for a little 13-year old boy. I really love some the imagery, too - of catching sweat on fingertips, knotted veins and muscles. I really can't wait to see how you make this happen in the pool and all, because Arthur seems surprisingly kind so far! Much love, OP

Re: Small Weird Love 2c/? anonymous July 3 2012, 14:34:22 UTC

oh dear, anon. this is stunning. i love it so much. already bookmarked as one of my favourites, i can tell you. <3

Re: Small Weird Love 2c/? brunettepet July 3 2012, 17:37:10 UTC

This overwhelming longing is being fed by Arthur being so perfect and nice and there and now Merlin's given in. It's got my heart in my throat.

Re: Small Weird Love 2c/? katie_andrew July 4 2012, 17:53:19 UTC

I'm so in love. ♥
