Summary
A life for a life was the deal for Arthur's birth, what does Uther do when he finds out that the deal was a bit more specific than he thought? Why find the loophole of course! If someone born from magic can't have a child normally... well you just have to find magic that can... or in this case, magic himself!
From mood swings, to weddings, to assassins, to love potions and so much more, Merlin's pregnancy isn't going to be smooth sailing for anyone, especially not for Merlin.

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.

Summary
"You...Are Emrys?" Arthur asked slowly. He turned to look back at Merlin who only offered a bright smile in return. It wasn't comforting. In fact, Arthur was fairly certain it was the same smile he gave when he returned Arthur's dirty laundry and tried to insist he washed it.
"I am." The man nodded solemnly "Though you may call me Alator."
Arthur had to fight to keep his face completely blank. Right. Fine. Okay. He held up a finger before gesturing Mordred a bit closer. The knight shuffled to his side, leaning in so he could hear when Arthur started whispering.
"What did this prophecy you keep mentioning say again?" He asked and when Mordred opened his mouth, held up a hand. "About me and Emrys."
"Oh," Mordred said and shrugged "You fall in love with him."
Arthur slowly turned back to Alator. Then back to Mordred.
"...are you sure?"
Or
Alator lives. This sets off a series of events that include: Mordred coming forward as a druid, Arthur learning of the existence of Emrys, Merlin asking Alator to please pretend to be Emrys, Alator agreeing, and Mordred deciding the best revenge is convincing Arthur that he is destined to fall in love with a man older than his father.
