The Merthur and BBC Merlin tags are trending again? Almost 13 years after that (dreadful) ending? We truly are the once and future fandom (and inconsolable send help).

Chapter 18 is posted! 🎃

Title: Mashed Agenda

Short but cute one! Could have been longer but wanted to maintain that once-a-week rhythm (also seeing what you guys think keeps the ball rolling) and it already has been 9 days so... Happy reading everyone~

From my ongoing multi-chapter Touched-Starved!Arthur Pendragon (emotional) slow burn Merthur fic:

The Space Between Us

By ReyloTrash2187 (me)

Rating: Explicit

Summary:

Arthur Pendragon has spent his whole life untouched—by kindness, by desire, or anything resembling real intimacy. It never mattered. Not until a certain annoying manservant came to Camelot—Merlin—who disregarded all strict royal etiquette and showed no restraint when it came to sudden, reckless displays of affection. Now, there’s something impossible in the space between them, something Arthur doesn’t know how to name—only that he aches to close the distance. * A slow-burn touched-starved Arthur Pendragon story. * Guys, there was only one bed. Guys, some obscure quest in the cold far-up mountains made them "huddle for warmth". Guys, they might give in to this farm fantasy of theirs. Can't I just put all the tropes in there? This fic is rated MSI for Maximum Self Indulgence.

Merlin: C'mon, Gwaine! Nobody thinks Arthur and I are courting!

Gwaine, turning to the other knights: Put your hand up if you thought Merlin and Arthur were courting.

everyone puts their hand up

Merlin:

Merlin: Arthur why are you raising your hand?

[reylotrash2187]

Random nobleman: I'm sorry, who are you?

Merlin: I'm Arthur’s ex boyfriend

Arthur: Stop calling yourself that

Arthur, to the nobleman: He's my husband

[reylotrash2187]

Arthur: Okay, so you're my servant now. It's not really that important of a position, just like, idk, make sure you bring me my breakfast on time

Merlin: I would die for you, I would kill for you, I'd give up my humanity and become a living weapon for you, I would sit by your grave for over a millennium, awaiting your return-

Arthur: but would you bring me breakfast on time?

Merlin: Well that's asking a bit much, don't you think?

[reylotrash2187]

Arthur: I like you

Merlin: lol why

[reylotrash2187]

Merlin: *Sneaks into the castle at 2am after fighting a magical evil*

Arthur: *turns around in a swivel chair* care to tell me where you were?

Merlin, hiding magical object behind his back: uh I was… with Gwaine!Tavern nights you know…

Gwaine: *also turns around in swivel chair* Care to- *keeps spinning* wait- help I can’t stop-

[reylotrash2187]

Merlin: What did the ocean say to the other ocean?

Arthur: what?

Merlin: nothing, they just waved

Arthur: oh

Merlin: do you sea what I did there?

Arthur: no

Merlin: I'm shore you did

Arthur: how do you have friends?

Merlin: hey, don't be such a beach

[reylotrash2187]

Merlin talking about Arthur to other people.

Merlin: Look at him, I would die for him, I would kill for him, and it would be a pleasure.

Merlin also talking directly to Arthur.

Arthur: Merlin, could you bring me some water…

Merlin: No.

Chapter 16 is posted! 🐉

Title: A Diplomat Speaks in Tongues

Listen. This chapter is +8k words long. It was (very) fun to write but also challenging, hence why it's two days late to meet the weekly-post-self-imposed criteria. I hope you'll enjoy it a fraction of how much fun I had writing it. That said, enjoy and don't forget to leave a comment if you liked it <33
