    Summary

    Gwaine grins against the pale skin, stopping to nibble at a particularly sensitive spot.

    “Stop that,” Merlin says weakly, pushing weakly at Gwaine’s shoulder. “You’ll leave a mark.”

    “Maybe that’s my wicked plan?” Gwaine says with a leer, pushing himself upwards on Merlin’s chest. “That way everyone will know that you are mine.”

    Merlin smiles up at him, content and soft in a way that Gwaine hasn’t seen him since before Arthur became King.

    “You could do with a good mark. How a man trails around after King Trouble-Magnet for years without a mark on him is an impressive feat.”

    Merlin stills under his touch. It’s only for a short moment but Gwaine feels it none the less before Merlin’s body melts back down into the sheets.

    “Oh, you know me,” Merlin says with a small shrug. “Just lucky I guess.”

    Or;
    You've all read scar reveal fics. Well, this is an anti-scar reveal. With Merlin/Gwaine because there isn't enough imo.

    Summary

    Merlin accidentally sets up an orphanage.

    -

    “You’re doing an amazing thing here,” Lancelot said apropos of nothing as he handed Merlin a nail.

    “It’s hardly amazing,” Merlin scoffed, concentrating on fixing the wooden beam in place. “I used to fix my mother’s roof all the time when I was little.”

    “I mean here.” Lancelot gestured back to the house. “These children would have nowhere to go if you didn’t take them in.”

    “Oh I don’t really do much,” Merlin said with a wave of his hand. “I just pop by every now and then to say hello. Mary does all the work.”
    Merlin concentrated back on the roof. Anything not to look into Lancelot’s proud and warm eyes.

    He couldn’t explain to wonderful, pure Lancelot why he didn’t deserve any praise. Taking in these children, helping them to grow up safe and fed, it was the least he could do after all the destruction he had caused in Camelot.
