Merlin's got a destiny, according to a certain super-vague dragon hiding in an abandoned tube station. But when Merlin finds out that it's to do with a clotpole footballer, he's less than happy. Modern AU, High School AU, a bit of Coffee Shop AU, and Merlin Has Glasses AU (because I have a glasses kink). Merthur.

Arthur absolutely hates thunderstorms, so when a terrible one breaks out in Camelot for a week, he's forced to confront a deep fear. Merlin tries to help, but ends up doing so in a way he never could have anticipated. Merthur slash, Arthur/Merlin.

"You're out of your mind if you think I'm getting in that water naked."

Arthur is just fine with the way his relationship with Merlin is, thank you very much. He's fine being flatmates, fine being friends—occasionally. So why does Merlin have to ruin it by looking so very attractive in nothing but a pair of Arthur's boxers? Why does he have to ruin the way Arthur looks at him, the way he thinks about him? Why does Merlin have to ruin things?
