    Summary

    After revealing his magic, Merlin promised his king that he would tell him if he was hurt or needed help. The aftermath of an assassination attempt sent him, injured, stumbling into Arthur's chambers to fulfill his promise. Once he did that, he figured he could finish getting ready for the visiting delegation and wrap up his chores. He wasn't sure why Arthur was being so weird about it. He was only lightly shot.

    Based on the prompt:
    "I have to tell you something."
    "Can it wait? I'm busy."
    "It's urgent."
    "Okay, fine. What's so important that you had to interrupt me?"
    "I've been shot."
    "Why didn't you lead with that?"

    Summary

    Arthur had never particularly minded masquerade balls in principle, because there was a certain uncomplicated pleasure in watching a room full of powerful people pretend, for one evening, that they were not quite as important as they actually were, though he suspected he was meant to find all of it tedious rather than strangely liberating, which perhaps said more about his current state of mind than he was willing to examine too closely.

    Or:
    A masquerade ball, one persistent noble, and Arthur discovering that jealousy is a lot harder to ignore than he thought. The masquerade masks weren't the only things coming off tonight.

    Prompt: Party

    Summary

    "It's…" Occtis said. "Hard to move my muscles when I'm cold."

    "Oh." Julien was silent for a moment. "That seems dangerous."

    Occtis hadn't really considered that. "I suppose it could be."

    Firelight flickered over Julien's face, his pinched expression. Finally, he sighed. "We can share mine."

    Summary

    He should leave. He definitely should leave. Julien will kill him for good if he catches Occtis watching.

    Occtis doesn't leave, though. Instead, he continues to watch with fascination as Julien gasps out a name, his fingertips digging into the crates. He doesn't hear the other man's response, too focused on Julien's flushed face and the way his lips are parted as he pants and groans when his lover grabs a handful of curls and pulls his head back. Moss green meets acidic green as Julien's gaze lands on him.
