Any Fics where Uther comforts Arthur

Aug 16, 2017 22:05

I can't seem to find any fics where Uther comforts Arthur. It bothers me a bit that there isn't really a lot of father/son moments in Merlin, and I just really want to read a fic where that happens. I'm looking for any fics where Uther hugs Arthur, or does anything comforting to Arthur. Thank you!! :)

I'm sure I've read a couple, but the one that comes immediately to mind is A Pendragon's Heart (Is a Terrible Thing) by pepperlandgirl4. It's Merthur, but the main focus is Uther comforting Arthur after Merlin is injured. It's quite a lovely piece.

I have to go to bed now, but I know a few stories where Uther is really nice and caring. There are some nice ones where Uther is basically pushing Arthur towards Merlin...not the same as comforting, but he's being loving. I'll scout around a bit.

This is a lovely story, and there's a small bit where Arthur comes out to Uther and it's...well...it's a lovely moment.

A Promise Made by Cookie is a great favorite of mine. I don't think there is a specific moment of Uther comforting Arthur per se. It's really lovely. After Uther walk in on Arthur and Merlin (ahem) he takes out letters Ygraine wrote him about loving and accepting Arthur. It's just like, the sweetest thing ever.

This is a new favorite of mine which I've already read twice. There's a really nice scene later on in the story where Uther comforts Merlin. There's also at least one where Uther takes care of Arthur, but in general he is caring and understanding in this wonderful, wonderful story.
