Title: Merlin XS
Pairing: Arthur/Merlin
Summary: Frustrated by his father's neverending list of chores, Arthur secretly buys a Druidbot to clean up after him. He probably shouldn't have chosen the Merlin XS, who turns out to be the most clumsy, disobedient, and irritatingly attractive robot Arthur has ever seen. High School AU ( ... )

This is perfection. Not George's way though!

A loud crash followed by the steady beep beep beep of Merlin's alarms jolted Arthur out of the battle on the screen ( ... )

An unexpected pressure on Arthur's waist startled him. It was Merlin's hand, as if he were entreating Arthur to stay. Perhaps Arthur's jostling had knocked the hand there by accident, because he'd given Merlin no order, and Merlin could do nothing of his own volition. Accident or not, Arthur liked it. If anyone caught sight of them like this, it would look like they were embracing. Maybe they were ( ... )

Oh god I am so into this fic!!! Fantastic, anon!!! And Arthur has nerdy glasses!! I love lonely nerdy needy Arthur and magical bot Merlin. :) And the buildup of could-it-be-no-impossible-but-maybe touches. Brilliant!!

Wow. This is terrific, Anon. I already love clumsy druidbot Merlin and his lonely, nerdy owner Arthur. Merlin not being able to communicate is a real stumbling block but the robot seems to be trying to convey feelings to Arthur. I'm looking forward to seeing where this "relationship" goes.

Waaaah! * claps while sniffling * This version of lonely Arthur, searching for connection, is giving me so many feelings. Love how, even with all his issues with his father, his chores, hiding his sexuality, he is Arthur and so is practical and intelligent about seeking solutions for them - even if he doesn't at first realise that Merlin may be the key to all of these, not just getting him out of chores! The bit about bots being no longer designed to speak made my heart ache. Really hope to see more of this.

Oh this is amazing! I love how lonely and missunderstood Arthur seems to be and how sweet and real Merlin feels! This is exactly what I'm seeking in human/androids relationships!

Can't wait for more!

The Pendragon household hadn't lost a dish in weeks, and these days Arthur's sock drawer was always in order, each sock perfectly matched with its pair and rolled into a tidy ball. Merlin had grown so capable, in fact, that Arthur's chores were finished almost before he ordered Merlin to do them, leaving a lot more time to spend at the gaming rooms. They always went together now, and although Arthur had once considered Merlin nothing more than his servant, he discovered he didn't mind so much the loneliness at school now that he had Merlin to come home to ( ... )

When Arthur was ready to sleep, he would order Merlin to get into his bed and lay quietly. After a few runs, Merlin had mastered the routine and Arthur no longer needed to give the orders. Merlin would just crawl under Arthur's covers and scoot all the way to the wall, then pull the sheet back and look at Arthur inquisitively, as if asking when he'd join him ( ... )
