do you have to live quite so relentlessly in the real world?

Title: Blue and Gold
Rating: R (to be on the safe side)
Pairing: Arthur/Merlin
Summary: Merlin's fingers are clumsy, because it's easy to pilfer extra drinks on feast nights (practically encouraged) and as well as the beer, Arthur had sneaked him a little of the mead from the royal table – much less watered down than what was available elsewhere in the hall.

Title: On Being Stupid (1/1)
Pairing: Arthur/Merlin
Rating: PG.
Summary: It's hard to feel too bothered by Merlin's insubordination when Merlin is trying to smile at him through shivers, hair plastered flat to his head, clothes still clinging wetly to his skinny frame because he'd decided splashing into a near-frozen river to retrieve Arthur's sword belt was just the best idea he'd ever had.
Notes: Unbeta'd so feel free to point out glaring typos etc. Maggie, your prompt is in there somewhere, I promise.

Title: The Right Motivation (1/1)
Pairing: Arthur/Merlin
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Merlin might only be twenty four but he's already starting to doubt that 'adults' is the right collective noun for a room of eighteen year olds (most days he favours 'headache'). Maybe one or two of them think he's cool, but even twenty four adoring students couldn't have made it okay when number twenty five was Arthur bloody Pendragon.
Word Count: ~2200
Notes: Arthur is an undergrad and Merlin is his TA, so it's...legal but potentially skeevy? Unbeta'd, so feel free to point out any glaring typos etc.
