This was so adorable. I loved the fight between then and how it got resolved. Great job.

Possessive!Jealous!Merlin.
Hee. I admit I sort of have a soft spot for jealous!Merlin.

Thank you for reading!

woohoo! I just read a merlin fic that turned out to be quite depressing and this is JUST what I needed! Possessive!Merlin and Oblivious!Arthur for the win! :D

I have found that I really like this combination. I'm glad you enjoyed what I did with it here!

This is just fantastic. I loved Merlin being jealous of Roland and missing the closeness with Arthur that he had when he was still his manservant. I do feel a little bad for Roland (after all who can blame him for falling in love with Arthur?) but the image of Arthur finding him naked in his bed and fleeing to Merlin's room is hilarious. And Merlin being all possessive and marking his territory is incredibly hot. I also liked the line about how Merlin wanted Arthur to know no one could take care of him like he could. So lovely. Great job :D

after all who can blame him for falling in love with Arthur?
True. I mean, who wouldn't?

Thank you for your wonderful comment. It's so good to know that you liked the story!

that was absolutely brilliant! the prompt itself was great and i looked forward for someone to fill it out. you did a fantastic job too! I love Merlin's inner rant on the French twink...er manservant and you made Roland likeable too, he's not some spiteful tart but a besotted boy (and who can blame him!?) who doesn't really realize that he stepped into something epic ha ha. loved this!

[merle_p]

who doesn't really realize that he stepped into something epic ha ha.
You really have to feel sorry for Roland. Arthur/Merlin is destiny, after all - he can't compete with that.

Thank you for reading! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
