and with my opened mouth i join the singing light by intothefirewego
Fandoms: Merlin (TV)
11 Apr 2022

Summary
Merlin frowned, and tried to inhale, but choked on a cough. He opened his mouth, trying to speak but his mouth was sticky and full and he felt warm, warm, warm, warm spilling down down down down…
The world tilted on its axis a little bit, and Merlin leant into Arthur’s body. Why was the world tilting?
Arthur’s face shifted from annoyance to horror.

Summary
"“Emrys,” said Gaius, raising the Eyebrow of Disappointment and flicking his gaze to where Merlin stood behind Arthur’s chair. “That is who you wish to have as your court sorcerer.”
Arthur nodded gravely, every eye in the council meeting upon him. “Camelot is dangerously close to division even now that sorcery is legal. We need someone who will unite us all, and I cannot settle for less. I’ll send riders out at first light chasing rumours and follow up any promising leads we have myself.”
He looked so beautiful when he said it, every inch the king, with the sunlight through the windows turning him gold. His voice had taken on that richness that sometimes infused Arthur’s words – that for the good of the kingdom voice, that let it be so voice, the voice that Merlin had come to understand meant another brick laid on the road to Albion.
Unfortunately, that voice had been co-opted for a fucking farce."
Or - In which magic is legal and Merlin is still lying for reasons that are absolutely, totally 100% valid and have nothing to do with his love for Arthur

Summary
"Really?" Arthur asked, brushing the dirt off of him as he glowered at the man. "Again? I had it under control - and we aren't allies!" He added heatedly. Balinor shrugged, looking nonplussed by Arthur's anger as he stroked the dragon's wing.
"I know." Balinor said simply. "But I promised my son I wouldn't let you die."
"Your...You have a son?" Arthur demanded. Again, Balinor shrugged. "Why does your son...? Nevermind. Don't save me again!" He snapped, pointing a finger at the man. He turned to stalk back to the horse only for a column of fire to blow past him. The prince jumped. He spun around to tell the man off again but immediately noticed one of the remaining bandits who had been slowly creeping towards him burnt to a crisp. He looked back at Balinor.
"Sorry."
Or
Balinor lives. Arthur will do pretty much anything to get the man to stop saving his life.

Summary
Arthur gave Merlin his cloak thinking only of the warmth it would offer in a snowstorm. He never thought his manservant may be mistaken for him and snatched by bandits. Nor did he expect his dashing rescue of Merlin to turn his world so utterly on his head.
Because the bandits hadn't kidnapped a prince. They'd snatched a sorcerer, and now captivity is the least of anyone's problems.
A golden age awaits, but can they claim it together, or are they doomed to fail?

Summary
Arthur and Merlin have a special relationship. They always have, even when they were prince and servant. While many question it when first noticing, eventually it becomes an understanding in Camelot—and even among some other countries—that where there is Arthur, there is Merlin. And, where there is Merlin, there is Arthur.
OrArthur and Merlin's relationship as witnessed and explained by others.

Summary
As a sign of Lucis’ dedication to peace and harmony between their two nations, Niflheim demands the marriage of Prince Noctis Lucis Caelum to Prince Prompto Argentum Aldercapt, thus ending the Lucis bloodline and keeping the Prince away from his Oracle.
Because that's a good idea.

Summary
"Where are you?"
Noct. Voice controlled, each word precise and even. In other words, pissed off to the point of seething. Prompto had obviously screwed up. Again. Seemed about all he was capable of doing lately when it came to Noct—and just about everything else.

Prompto's self-reliant streak kicks into overdrive, sending his life into a tailspin.

convince lucis that you're dating (and get an existential crisis while you're at it), a guide by prompto by bemyweekend
Fandoms: Final Fantasy XV
25 Sep 2017

Summary
After a rumor is spread that Noctis and Prompto are dating, Noctis and Prompto decide to do the wisest thing anyone could do: go along with it and pretend they really are dating so the press leaves them alone.
Prince of Lucis announces his new relationship with long-time best friend!
Prompto stares down at the headline, with the included picture of him and Noctis smiling at each other and the extra note about how you could read all about this on page seven. Prompto looks up, grinning nervously.
“So I guess we’re talking about that,” Prompto whistles lowly. “Uh… surprise?”
“Cut the crap, Prompto,” Aranea says, slamming her hand on the newspaper and sliding it away from Prompto. Thank gods. “What’s going on?”
“I’m… dating Noct?”
“No you’re not,” Cor replies, crossing his arms.
“Wow. Have a bit of faith in your son, will you? I’m totally dating Noct."

Summary
“I’m not belittling your friendship with his Highness, Prompto, but you have to understand that Noctis’ priorities are not those of regular people.” Prompto curled into himself wishing he’d never spoken. He felt so small and insignificant around these people. Gladio, Ignis, but especially Noctis had so much going for them and here was Prompto mooching off their goodwill and charity.

Summary
Noctis wakes to the taste of something foul in his mouth, to the wet stone and hum of a haven underneath him; he wakes with a shuddering gasp, fingers grasping at the area where his father’s sword pierced his chest, only to find the soft beams of sunlight washing over him, and his deathly injuries no longer there.
A boon, little king, Shiva had said, before she pressed a gentle kiss to his forehead.
Then, a few spaces away from him, Prompto sputters and coughs a raspy but undoubtedly heated, “WHAT THE FUCK?”
Privately, Noctis echoes the sentiment. What the fuck.

Summary
Prompto doesn’t need the chancellor’s crooked finger to prompt his lines. “Until the day a peace treaty is signed, I intend to remain in Insomnia, if Your Majesty is willing to host me.”
There is a long, considering silence. “We will speak plainly,” the king says. “You would surrender yourself as hostage to Lucis against further Niflheim aggression?”
The chancellor smiles before turning back to the king, and there is little Prompto can do to calm his racing heart. “It will be an easy thing, should Your Majesty hold fast to your honor.”
—
Or: When the Prince of Niflheim surrenders himself as a political hostage, Noctis’s curiosity turns into something unexpected.

Summary
If someone tried to kill Noctis when he was a kid, there’s no reason people aren’t still trying. Prompto wants to stay in Noct’s orbit even after high school, and he decides the best way to do that is to start prepping for the Crownsguard entrance exam. If he can get into the Crownsguard, he’ll be able to do something if things go sideways when he’s out with Noct.
After an attempt on Noctis results in civilian casualties, neither Prompto nor Noctis are prepared for the political backlash. And when Noctis discovers that Prompto has Crownsguard ambitions, he wrestles with his desire to protect his best friend (and crush) and the reality that Prompto wants to put himself in danger for his sake.

Summary
Prompto went online on his phone, just once, while Ignis was making their dinner, trying to see if there was any news.
It was a massive mistake, of course, because the one thing that everyone has up is footage of a disheveled Noctis leaving the mall with Gladio and a Crownsguard escort. His clothes were dark with blood, his eyes were trained on the ground, and his face was scarily blank. Not Ignis-scary-blank, which makes people scared for themselves, but Noctis-scary-blank where people are scared for him.
The headlines that aren’t focused on Noctis are focused on the total number of casualties, and Prompto just can’t wrap his head around it. Six dead, seventeen injured, and him. His name’s not out there in the media—no one’s is yet, but Prompto knows it’s just a matter of time, and that’s another thing he’s trying not to think about—but in between the shock and the outrage and the grief, people are already speculating about why only one of the dead people could be revived.

buried alive inside my dreams (it was all a fake out) by noctinfocus

Summary
Prompto straightens, still smiling, still holding onto her. Noctis watches and stays exactly where he is. Even as the music carries on. Even as the lanterns flicker overhead. Even as something unsettled lingers, quiet and persistent, just under the surface, where he refuses to look at it too closely.
He’s not sure what he’s supposed to be feeling.
And that terrifies him.
