Disclaimer: I should not be posting pr0n at work. They pay me for work. The pr0n is done for free.
Title: Questionable Quest
Warning/Spoilers: Minor spoilers for basic Arthurian legend.
Word Count: 100 each
Rating: NC-17
Summary: Merlin leaves with a parting gift.

Questionable:
He knows, of course, what Merlin is doing.

That Merlin’s going on a quest to learn more about the extent of his gifts is unquestionable.

That Merlin’s going to gather students to teach a new brand of magic, one that is more about the land – less about desire – is without doubt.

That Arthur will be able to focus now on his people and his duties without distraction is a certainty.

That Arthur will be able to give Guinevere the attention she deserves is sure.

Arthur knows Merlin is leaving for the good of Camelot.

What he doesn’t understand is why.


Quest:
Their parting is not at all like their union.

What was once gentle and caring is now vicious and possessive.

Arthur takes him roughly, cock sliding in with a sharp thrust of hips.

There is no preparation, no foreplay, and Merlin is left, spent, his body a canvas of bruises and scrapes.

He gives as good as he gets, with fingers leaving marks on buttocks and biceps; nails raking furrows down the king`s back.

Merlin leaves Camelot on his quest, a smile on his face.

Far from punishment, it was a promise.

A promise that he will come back soon.

Other Parts


AN: I'm hoping to sit down this week and get the rest of this series written up. I really want to get onto other things (like Torchwood, which I've recently discovered, and AU!Merlin, and Torchwood/Merlin crossovers). I promised myself I would finish this before I started anything new. As soon as that's done, I should be able to post one a day.

I'm both anticipating and dreading the end of this season. I don't know how to handle 8 months without Merlin. I had trouble this past year, and I wasn't even into the fandom then >.>

The things they let us get away with is almost disgusting, actually :)

I almost started typing the next drabble as my response...

Thank you, and I promise I'll have them reunited as soon as possible :)

I like how Arthur doesn't really understand why Merlin is leaving and yet Merlin realizes they need some time apart.

Arthur believes Merlin is the one thing he can indulge in without fear of reprocussions, yet Merlin knows there will be consequences to it.

Don't worry about posting porn at work, I'm reading this at school. :)

Anyway, loving it. I can't wait to see the fallout from this. ^+^

Tomorrow night is supposed to be my evening home, so fingers crossed.

Also, technically they pay me to go to school, so I guess it's the same thing. We are dirty people. I try to refrain until I'm at home tomorrow to post ;)

No! Don't! I write and post and read filth at school all the time! There is nothing to fear!
