My single-chapter WIP "All the pretty ones are idiots" are not included here. Although I will write more drabbles for my cupbearer drabble series, feel free to remix any/all of them.
You can find my Merlin drabbles and flopsies listed at my LJ fic masterlist. (I haven't x-posted my older Merlin drabbles on DW yet).


1. "King’s Ward Is a Vampyr; Prince’s Manservant Was Sucked Dry! (Or, Everything is Not As It Seems)," Merlin/?, R, 888 words.

The last thing* Merlin expected when he opened his chamber door was a breathless Morgana dressed in her nightgown.

“Morgana! What’s wrong? Did you have another nightmare?”

2. "Boys' Night Out," Arthur/Merlin modern-day!AU flashfic, PG-13.

7. At a party you must not go around telling everyone that your Bro is gay and looking for male company tonight.

"Oh, Arthur? He picked me up in this gay bar. It's tragic, really, he has such a healthy sexual appetite but I'm afraid I don't have the stamina to keep up with him. Speaking of which, we're looking into the possibility of polyamoury. You wouldn't know anyone who'd be interested–"

3. "The Tome of Magical Delights," Merlin/Arthur, soft R.

Merlin was bored. Arthur was away on some diplomatic visit*, and he would not be back for at least another fortnight. When the third Arthur-less day rolled around, Gaius had refused to tolerate Merlin's moping any longer. So here he was, skulking behind the dusty tomes in the library.

Scanning the spines before him, he noticed that one of them was defaced. He traced the carved letters with his finger.

"The Tome of...Masterful Delights? Musical Delights?" The letters sparked suddenly, and Merlin yelped.

4. "Enchanted No More," one-sided Vivian/Arthur, Vivian/Leon, 500 words.

Vivian didn't remember when her fascination with Arthur Pendragon started. One day he was the odious son of her father's business partner and, by the next, he shone gold like knights of old.

5. Seven Deadly Sins drabble set

"Gluttony" - Gaius, G
Gaius grew up in a small village where going hungry during lean winters was a fact of life.

"Wrath" - Uther, Igraine, G
Given time, perhaps his queen could have tempered his iron grip

"Envy" - Morgana, PG
If only she could trade her visions

"Sloth" - Merlin, Arthur, G
If he had polished Arthur's armour by hand, this wouldn't have happened.

"Pride" - Arthur, Merlin, G
Arthur had always prided himself of his judgment.

"Lust" - Lancelot/Gwen, Arthur, PG-13
The first time it happened, they were young and carefree in love.

"Greed" - Mordred, Arthur, G
"Your precious prince, now grown old to be a pitiful king."
